Roasting the Reclamation Service.

The San Francisco Chronicle takes gloomy view of the operations of the reclamation service which we think is not warranted by any fair consideration of the facts. Its com ments. indeed, indicate an unfriendly attitude to the reclamation policy Thus:
 There is some reason to believe that the good intentions of the public have not been carried out with good judgment or wisdom and that con- gress itself was. on he one hand, too lavish in donating the money of the people to individuals, and. on the oth CT hand imposed on those individuals conditions which the majority of them will be unable to meet. There is no justification in giving away ten years interest on the purchase money of a farm, nor. on the other hand. will it. under conditions as they exist in most projects, be possible for farmers of small means to improve and stock their farms, build roads and p,ibli, buildings and pay for the whole in ten years from the products of the land"
 It is surprising to see in a western paper such an expression of hostility to the reclamation policy-but let that pass. The Chronicles position is lu- dicrously contradictory and inconsst- ent In one breath it charges con- gress with having been too liberal in donating the public money to set tlers-With having been liberal in it's terms, in short-and- with having inl-. posed harsh and impossible conditions. It is an anomalous situation, truly. if the reclamation policy comprises a bad bargain for both the government and the settler. And the Chronicles language calls for some new defini- tions if these ten-year loans to setr tiers are donations"
 As to the policy of reclaiming the arid west, that is settled Most of the former enemies of the plan are reconciled to the inevitable, and if the voice of the press is representative the country as d whole is of the opinion that the reclamation policy is piece of exceptionally wise states

manship. It possibly is true that the Gunnison tunnel project. and maybe some others. have cost 90 much more than the original estimates that the cost of the land under tf.e project will be prohibitive. But some fair way of adjusting the difficulty will be found. We may be sure
 The Chronicle thinks tpat--
 The evidence of bad administration is conclusive. for there has accumu- lated q virtual debt. saia to be about Sl0 O00, ,000. that is to say, projects have been begun SO greatly in excess of the ability of the fund ro carry out. that to complete them al within a reasonable time. s10 000. .0c0 will be re- quired, which the fund will not pro vide. There can be no excuse for tha.. and the responsibility must rest with the reclamation officials who recommended the projects. and the secretary of the interior who approved them
 Any fair and competent observer of the operations of the reclamation ser vice will say that there is abundant excuse for this condition of affairs The cost of each project had to be estimated as closely as possible from all the data at hand. But it was new work. and in the desert, where all the conditions were adverse. and new and unexpected problems arose from time to time. Under such conditions it is not at all surprising that these pro- jects. widely scattered. will cost. on the whole. perhaps 20 per cent more than was originally hoped. No en- gineer can accurately estimate the cost of constructing dam. the cost of which will run into millions and the work on which will cover a period of years. The surprising thing is that in some of the projects-the Salt Riv- CT project. for example-the actual cost will so closely approximate the estimated cost
 The Chronicle grumbles that it seems to have been. in many of these projects. the anticipation by half century of a demand for the land and water at what they will cost" Where are these undesirable projects?
