A BUSINESS

Frank A.. Vanderbilt, president of
the National City Bank of New York,
formerly assistant secretary of the
United States treasury and noted for
his keen financial acumen, has given
an interview in which he says that
the nation is on the crest of a bust
ness wave that will carry it to UNI
precedented financial prosperity.
81 am a bull on business Mr..
Vanderbilt is quoted as saying. I'm
my opinion, We are at the beginning
of a long period of most profitable
commercial activity. The only check
possible would be some unexpected
and unlocked for occurrence. OF
that there is not at the present the
faintest indication. Not "a cloud is
to be seer on the financial horizon.
is there even the semblancc OF
one."
Mr.. Vanderlip's optimistic forecast
was due very largely to what he saw
in the west in a three weeks trip.
His words carried all the more
weight to those captains of industry,
tinanciers and merchants to whom
1t was repeated because of his repu-
tation as a business prophet. In 1908
it was recalled, Mr.. Vanderlip sound.
ed a note of warning about the tying

it may be likewise stated with fair
ness that more than $50,00O,O 900
have been added to the value of
these lands. With the additions
which are contemplated in the conf
pletion of irrigation works now
under construction and those con.
templated, the increase of values will
more than proportionately continue
and the consumation of the revolving
fund brought about by the return of
the cost construction of the present
work will enable the government in
the course of years, where feasible
projects exist, to increase beyond
calculation the wealth of the irriga-
Bile region and the continual expan-
sion of opportunities for settlement
and for homes; the end to be reach
ed only when irrigabIe lands
to be available. Lands that may be
considered under present methods
non-irrigable, in the development of
mechanical and electrical capacity
for raising water. on to higher levels
may be economically irrigable in
years to come, so that no one a to-
day define the limits of possibility
as they are not the limits of con-
ceivability.
ANY one who has visited M or
more of the reclamation projects now
in operation, and sees on the n
hand the desert covered with sage
brush and ~barrenness, and on the
otbar the water flowing over the
fertile soil producing heavy crops of
grain, or orchards in fruit, apprecia-
ties to the fullest extent the benefits
of irrigation"

which know less about them, ne ex-
meets to be able to note the tact n

banks suppose they know the imam
cial condition of their borrowers,
hut they do not know that the
borrowers are raising money at a
distance from home after raising all
tnev can from the banks near them.
There are six or seven thousand
national banks, and each has sew
eral hundred customers, n 1t
strikes us that the Comptroller is
undertaking a large task. tie has
created a credit division in his Of
fee: but if this office is going to
check up all the individual loans IN
each bank and run through a card
index to see how much the makers
of notes have borrowed elsewhere,
we should suppose that the credit
division and its files would spread
over as large a building as the
Treasury.
Practically. we do not suppose quite
so much will be attempted, n
short of this a great deal of useful
work may be done. Where the
amount of borrowing done by one
man excites suspicion, OF the char
acter of the enterprises he is con-
nected with inspires some feeling
of curiosity, not to say caution, the
Comptroller OF the Currency would
be able to notify rhe bank whether
the borrower is also loading himself
up with loans elsewhere, and
whether other banks have had
trouble with him. Banks themselves

found that it is not a poor mans
proposition, unless coupled with in
telligent industry in agriculture.
The whole scheme of the act is
based upon the appropriation of the
proceeds of sales of public lands in
certain states and territories for the
construction of irrigation work for
the reclamation of arid and semi
arid lands therein. No further APP
preparation by the government Is in
tended, or can be inferred from the
act, and the responsibility for the
disbursement of the funds and the
construction of the works is placed
upon the secretary of the interior.
1t must be recognized that the gov
eminent is acting in the nature of a
trustee of the people in the disburse-
ment of this fund; that it must con-
struct the works for the settlers and
turn them owe at cost and has no
right to recklessly or improvidently
waste the fund; that cost means the
cost which is incurred in the exer-
else of common business prudence
and this is likewise true of the eX-
pense Of maintenance and operation.
at is also the declared purpose of
this law that the secretary of the
interior in carrying out its provisions
shall proceed in conformity with the
laws of the states and territories
wherein the irrigation works are
situated and is bound by these laws
in respect to appropriation and use
of the waters therein.

has invested 100000 900 in re-
clamation works and by such in
yestment has succeeded in irrigating

LOCAL LAND RECLAMATION.

While the press of the State is
full of new and fabulous mining
strikes, every now and then we run
across an item concerning some
State reclamation project which
strikes US as a kind of news that
should be given more publicity than
it receives.
Every acre of land in Nevada that
is reclaimed adds permanency to
State prosperity. Items, such as the
following from the Eureka Sentinel
will be read with interest by a large
number of people not particularly
interested in mining, yet who are
deeply concerned in the agricultural
development of the State. We quote:
The Cazier brothers, who W
valuable ranches at Currant Creek,
have commenced work on a dam
which will impound the waters of
Currant Greek, from which they will
be able to irrigate 500 acres nor
land than they now have under
cultivation. During the present
year they will raise the dam to a
height of 81 feet, which will give
them water sufficient for $50 acres.
Later they will raise the dam to a
height of so feet from the base,
which will increase their lie sup
ply sufficiently to raise the total
amount of new land brought under
cultivation to at least 600 acres.
The Cazier brothers are among
the most enterprising and progressive
farmers and ranchers in Nye county,
and during the past few years they
have made a pronounced success of
their undertaking. Aside from their
stock and farming interests, they
find a ready sale at Ely and the
nearby camps. The Ely-Goldfield
railroad is surveyed to come within
a short distance of their ranches,
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-08-13

which will greatly enhance the
facility for marketing their produce.
Other ranchers along Currant
Creek will also put in dams, i'm
pound water and increase their
acreage of tillable land. The pros
poets are that within a few years
Currant Creek will become a most
active farming community.

up of capital; later he predicted the
boom which reached its climax IN
1867, and toward the end OF 1906,
when, to the ordinary observer, the
sky was as clear as it is today, ne
drew attention to the danger of the
possibility of a money stringency
that would bring a monetary panic.
