IL has been suggested that a central

retail grocer OF the state should be
member. and some plan devised
whereby they sculd order by carloads
direct from the manufacturer and
then distribute the produce fro0' the
exchange 10 the various retailers.
This, 1t is urged would do away with
the middlemen's commission. At any

and efficient officer. He performed his duties so satisfactorily that dur 1 ing the last session he was made a member of the executive committee and, through MT. Fowlers efforts, he was made chairman of it during the present year as well as of the board of governors of the irrigation con- gress.
 The board of governors held its 1 first meeting last January and the next one was held in Pueblo on June 4. MT. Insnger attended the meeting on the way to New York, whence he sailed recently to spend the summer in Europe. In the meantime the Hamilton club of Chicago learned of his eastern tour and invited him to address the club, shortly after he left Pueblo. He did so and most effec- lively, for, as the result of his ad- dress, the clubs committee on na- tional legislation took the matter of the appropriation under considera- ton. When Mir Fowler arrived in Chicago a few days later a meeting of the club was held, endorsing the $50 0O0,000 bond issue, the facts of
 
 following circular printed by the club:
 owing to the great public interest in the project of irrigation of public lands to make them available for set tlement, which was the impetus in the Hamilton club address by MT. l.. Insinger, chairman of the board of governors of the National Irrigation Congress. the committee on national legislation of the Hamilton club has undertaken the study of the general subject As the result of their in vestigation the committee recommend ed to the board of directors of the Hamilton club the passing of a resO- lution which has been adopted and is as follows:
 Whereas, There is now pending in the congress of the United States, senate bill No. 5705 of the siNty-first congress, second session, looking to the appropriation of thirty million dollars ($3O.O0O,OOO) or so much there of as may be necessary for the imme- diate completion of the reclamation projects now under way; and
 Whereas, These projects now have invested in them a considerable

amount of capital, which under pres ent conditions will lie idle for some years; and
 Whereas. The lands to be reclaimed by these projects will be far more valuable than the amount necessary to reclaim them; and
 Therefore be it resolved, by the Hamilton club of Chicago, acting through it's board of directors on the recommendation of it's committee on nation legislation,
 That the passage of said senate bill No. 57O5, sixty-first congress. second session, would be an act of sound business policy.
 Be it resolved further, that aside from financial reasons, the Hamilton club of Chicago considers it desirable that the lands covered by the recla- mation projects be made immediately available for settlement.
 Be it resolved further, That the Hamilton club of Chicago earnestly recommends the passage of said sen ate bill No. 5705, sixty first congress. second session, and particularly re quests the representatives of the state of Illinois in congress to support said bill, or such substitute therefor, as will tend to accomplish the general purpose contemplated by said mill in an effective and speedy manner.

FIGHT FOR FUNDS
 FOR RECLAMATION FIXING OF THE CREDIT FOR MOULDING SENTIMENT. B. A. Fowler Tells Something of the Influences Brought to Bear.

Now that congress has finally au- thoriZed an expenditure of S2O,O0O, ,0OC for the reclamation projects, it is alto gether fitting that credit for develop ing the sentiment that led to that pleasing result should be given to those who have earned it, that the hosts of irrigation may know who their friends and supporters are. In a discussion of the subject with B. A Fowler, president of the National Irri- gation congress. Mir. Fowler said that very large part of the credit belongs to the Irrigation Congress, which has labored increasingly toward that end since it's last session. It was not the author of the particular measure that passed congress. but it was the ere ator of sentiment that helped mater ially in passing the bill for $20. .OOO. .O0O though the amount the congress orig inally asked for was $50,0OO,O in five annual payments.
 Among the men who worked un- ceasingly were F. Insinger of Spokane. Arthur Hooker. secretary of the con gress, and August Woolf of Spokane. the prince of publicity men Particu- lar credit, says MT. Fowler, should also be given to the Hamilton club of Chicago, social and political organi- Zation of 2,O00 members. which in the latter days of the recent national congress did some decidedly effective work
