In the February number Of the
Worlds Work James j. Hill recon-
mends the following policy regarding
land reclamation:
How backward we are still is shown
by the fact that no urgency of public
opinion and no pressure OF common
honesty has yet succeeded in taking
the preliminary step-a reasonable
reform Of the land laws. The agen-
cies of justice are employed in dis
covering and furnishing land thieves
whose crimes were invited by legis-
lation apparently framed for their
especial profit. The repeal of the
Desert Land Act, the Timber and
Stone Act and the stringent enforce
ment Of the provisions of the Home
stead Act are necessary to honest
dealing with the land question. Spec
ulators and land-grabbers prevent
this. while occasional Congressman
and Senators are smirched and dis
graced by participating in land
frauds We have enlarged the unit
of public land for Alaska, in order
to tempt dishonesty there. We have
made it 160 acres for land reclaimed
at great expense, although a large
family could not possibly cultivate
twenty acres of this land as 1t should
be. Perhaps economy must be sub
stituted for the extravaganza now
too prevalent in every department Of
government before we can hope to
see it supreme in land reclamation
and distribution. But this plain busi-
ness conception must be restored be.
fore the country can hope either to
realize upon or retain its most valu-
able resources.
Railroads Must Drain and Irrigatc.
To the transportation agencies, es-
pecially those operating in the West
the subject is Of great Importance
They were quick to realize this and
act upon it. AS they were pioneers
in the campaign Of education fol
both irrigation and drainage, SO they
are as vitality interested as ever, and
are promoting both by every means
in their power. The railroad salts
fed merely to move an already ex-
listing tonnage will soon be distanced
It can grow only as the communities
along it's lines multiply and prosper
With every addition to them, every
increase in the volume of traffic

understood by honest men to b'
not rivals but partners: namely, al
increased revenue for the carried ant

What the GOvernmeC Should do for
Drainage.
For the future Of drainage work.
unless we wait upon the slow progress
of public enlightenment and the re-
luctance of people to tax themselves
now for a future benefit, reliance
must be placed upon some such
measure as has been already pro-
posed to Congress. but not yet
adopted. This is in principle a du-
plication Of the reclamation law, and
proposes to do for drainage what was
done for irrigation. Moneys re-
ceived from the sale OF public lands
in q number Of Southern and West
ern states, not included in the Re-
tanning much swamp or overfiowed
lands, would be set aside as q
drainage fund. This would be used
to dig bitches, establish pumping sta
tions and complete drainage works
! exactly as is done in irrigation work:
the cost to be repaid in the same
way, in ten annual instalments, to
go into revolving fund for similar
employment elsewhere. There can be

| be equal. There should be concen-
trated effort to procure such legisles-
ton. For while there are immense
areas of arid land which can never

acre Of swamp land anywhere that
cannot be drained or diked until fit

Another Debt to the Railroads.
Up to a little more than twenty
years ago the conception of a Fed
eral irrigation system did not exist.
individuals had done good deal
had done something, and there was
general interest in the subject
throughout the semi-arid states; but
there was no plan and no effort COM
mensurate with the needs Of the
West. Nobody at Washington would
nsten to q national irrigation meas
ure. Only campaign Of education
could bring results, and again the
railroad led the way and furnished
the means required.

What the Government Has Done for
Irrigation.
Under the national law, twenty-s1x
projects have been approved by the
Secretary Of the Interior, and con-
struction has begun. Over $33,0OO,-
900 were expended in the first five
years. The service employs 10000
men and spends about million and
a quarter each month. It's COM
1000 miles Some of the work is
of stupendous magnitude. To re-
claim 10000 acres of land in South
Dakota, the largest earth dam in the
world is being built. A solid wal,
Of masonry 325 feet high is rising
to impound the waters Of the Sho-
shone river in reservoir covering
ten square miles, by which 100,0 900
acres will be irrigated. The total
under way is about 100000 acres.
Other projects found feasible by the
engineers would extend the reclaimed
area to more than three and three
quarter million acres, at an estimated
cost of $16O,00O,O00. The receipts
and expenditures of the entire serv-
ice to December 81. 1911. are esti-
mated in it's report at $58,OO0,000
each.
Progress under our system has
been very rapid, for two reasons.
Most of the country dealt with had
already been surveyed, and the en-
g1neers were ready with their plans
and estimates. The money also was
ready, the fund having risen to over
$23,0o0,000 by the time field work
began. In 1902, when the bill be-
came a law, about $20O,000,O0O had
been invested oe sunk In irrigation
projects by individuals and corpora
tons, and some 100000 acres in
the United States were already util-
lied in this way. Probably as much
more is now being reclaimed in va
rlous Western states by private en-
terprise.
