The Battle Ground.

Our immediate interest attaches
only to the rivers whose waters ulti-
mately flow into the gulf or the Pa
cifc ocean; but the region controlled
by these waterways includes two
thirds of the entire area of the coun-
try. All the Pacific coast rivers have
their sources in the mountain region OF
the west; and the large tributaries
of the Mississippi, namely, the Missouri
~(including it's tributaries), the Platte,
the. Arkansas and the Red, have their
sources in the Rocky mountain region.
Irrigation Of arid lands is one OF
the great uses to which these waters
of the Pacific coast and Rocky noun
tain region are applied. The reclama-
ton fund is not sufficient to push the
reclamation works with the speed that
is desired, and it is important that in
the formation of the new waterway
fund the storage of water upon the
irrigation of arid lands adjacent to
the rivers in the arid and semi-arid
regions, which are tributary to navi-
gable streams, should he entered upon
as an essential part of the develop
ment of these streams for purposes
of navigation; and that the work upon
these headwaters should be prosecuted
contemporaneously with the work upon
the navigable rivers themselves.
In this way we could supplement
the present irrigation fund by a share
in the contemplated waterway fund,
and could claim the part in the water.
way expenditure which fairly belongs
to u region.

My Dear SENATOR
The waterway question will come up
for action during the next session, and
l venture to make a few suggestions
to the course to be pursued by the
from the arid and semi-arid
states in the interest of their region.
The Western Strength.
In the first place we have from
these states nearly one-third of the
entire senate, and we have the power,
if we act unitedly, to SO shape action
as to benefit the region we represent,
whilst aiding in the great movement
for a scientific and businesslike solu-
ton Of the water transportation ques-
tion which is now so much discussed
in the Mississippi valley and on the
Atlantic coast.
In the second place W. have been
trained by actual experience in irri-
cation legislation to take hold of the
business side of this question which
involves such al expert and business
organization of the waterways service
as will insure comprehensive plans,
wise selection Of projects that will
dovetail into each other as parts of a
comprehensive whole, the union and
--.1.-Nx. &c FL ca,Ant,Ea nrvrinn
of the government related to water In
such a manner as to unite their expe-
rience and knowledge in some effect
i've way; an ample fund that will in
sure continuous work; and such CO.
operation of the nation with states,
corporations and. individuals as will
insure the full exercise of all their
powers and the enforcement of all
their respective rights in the develop
ment of our rivers and source streams
not only for navigation, but for every
incidental and auxiliary use to which
civilization can put them, such as the
irrigation of arid lands, the drainage
of swamp lands, the conservation OF
forests, the prevention of soil.waste
and the development of water power.
We shaped the reclamation act on
these lines, and I think it is safe to
say that it was the first piece of con-
structive legislation in the history of
the country that was free from the
evils of the spoils system, such as has
prevailed for years in legislation re-
lating to rivers and harbors and pub
lie buildings.

arid and sem arid region.
One-tenth for the Pacific coast
rivers.
One-twentieth for the headwaters
and source streams of the Pacific
coast rivers in the arid and semi-arid
region.
Under this plan the arid and semi
arid region would receive about $4,000
900 annually from the waterway fund
for the storage and control of its
waters, above the amount now avail
able from the reclamation fund. The
states in the great basin, Utah and Ne
vada, would not be the benefciaries
of the waterway fund, for their streams
are not the sources or tributaries of
navigable rivers, but they would be
enabled probably to get a greater pro-
portion of the reclamation fund than
at present.
Asks Discussion.
These views were presented some
what at length in my speech at a ban-
quet at Casper, Wyoming, upon the
occasion of the recent visit of the SEN
ate committee on irrigation to that To-
cality. / would be greatly obliged to
you if you would read it and then
write me your views and suggestions
regarding it. If you think well of the
matter we can, early in the next ses-
sion, bring together the. senators and
representatives from the arid and
semi-arid region for conference, just
as we did in 1901 regarding the irri-
CATION question. We can then, after
a full expression of views, appoint 9
subcommittee to form and report to
the full conference a plan of legisla'
ton; and we can thus not only greatly
benefit our own region, but be a pc
tential factor in the great and patriotic
work Of organizing the water trans
portation of the country.
Hoping that 1 may hear from yor
at an early date, l am,
Very sincerely yours,
FRANCIS G. NEWLANDS.
