TRAFFIC DIRECTOR OF HARRI-
MAN LINES TELLS OF ITS
GREAT IMPORTANCE.

Spokane, June BOT believe the
problem of irrigation and the conser-
walton of our forests to be the COM
handing questions for the region be
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Pacific coast writes j. c. Stubs of
Chicago, traffic director of the Harm
man system, in d letter to r. Insinger,
chairman of the board of control of
the National Irrigation congress- to
meet in Spokane, August to IA, add
ing:
THE annual session of the irriga-
ton congress has done much to enlist
public interest, but there is a lot more
for it to do. 1t is too near the truth
to be ignored that the populous, and
politically and commercially dominant
section of the United States lying east
of the Missouri river is not as much
interested in these, questions as it's
people should be.
According to my recollection the
meetings of the irrigation congress in
the past have all been held in the far
west. Why would it not be wise to
hold the next meeting of the congress
at Chicago, or some other politically
and commercially strong center east
Of the Mississippi river to enlist the
sympathy and support of the people
in this eastern territory in the promo
ton of the irrigation policy of the
government.
Mr.. Stubs probably will be a
speaker at the first or second session
of the congress to permit him to re-
turn to Chicago by August Is.

A VITAL INTEREST
IN WORK

EST IMPORTANCE TO STATE
OF WASHINGTON.

Spokane, June 3O.-Congressmal,
Miles Poindexter of Spokane. repre-
senting the Third Washington district
in congress- writes as follows from
Washington, d. c. to r, Iusjnger
chairman of the board of control of
the National Irrigation congress, in
response to all inquiry as to the ex-
tent to which the state of Washington
is interested in the questions affecting
irrigation, drainage, forestry, deep
waterways, good roads and home
building and as to the manner i.
which the seventeenth session in Spo-
kane, August to IA, can be made of
the greatest benefit to the state
II would say that the state o,
Washington is as much interested in
the public improvements referred to
as any Others state fiji the Union. My
opinion, as frequently expressed, that
the most important event in the ma
terial development of Washington was
the advent of the national government
into the work Of reclamation of arid
and semi-arid lands.
''It does not require dissertation
on the subject to make obvious the
fact that vast areas which are now
practically incapable of supporting
any population being irrigated and
gradually gotten into state of high
cultivation so that they will support
larger population to the square mile,
perhaps, than any other lands in the
world, will confer a maximum of
benefits ON the state of Washington.
II have no doubt that this work will
be carried to a. point which will even
far exceed our anticipations at the
present time. Such districts as the
Hores Heaven, Quincy Flats, large
areas in the vicinity of Pasco, and.
perhaps, portions of the Big Bend,
will undoubtedly some day be subjects
of very large irrigation enterprise.
A Compliment.
Forestry should properly be re-
garded as a compliment of irrigation
and the means of irrigation in Wash-
ington must depend to certain ex-
tent upon the conservation of the tire.

At midnight, after stumbling over

home last night, We're met by Gavin
and Flynn, who were in buggy, and

ing the various states, and these still
further to be supplemented by county
thoroughfares, which, in turn. would
be fed by township and neighborhood
roads built upon scientific plans, and,
to large extent, at public expense.

sorbed in the settlement and pioneer
work of an absolutely virgin continent

at this time that in my judgment the
drainage and reclamation of swamp

cases is the same-namely, the multi
