TANNING DENVER
CONGRESS

Pueblo, Col, Feb. 3.-In a speech
which he made at a dinner rendered
himself and President Fowler in this
city. R. Insinger of Spokane. Wash.
ington, chairman of the board Of
governors of the Eighteenth Nation.
al Irrigation congress, pointed on,
the immense possibilities of develop.
ment of the West through irriga.
ton; and that, though much has al.
ready been accomplished, the merest
beginning has only been achieved.
Mr.. Insinger stated that the gov.
eminent owned 100 million acres Of
laid. OF this amount, 40 million
acres were susceptible of reclama.
ton. Only l million acres, approx.
imately, he stated, were covered BY
government projects. The exact
acreage under private projects and
individual irrigation was, Of course
problematical..
These figures speak eloquent
ly," said Mr.. Insinger, "and tell you
forcibly of the good that remains to
be accomplished under irrigation
The future is just unfolding before
us. The greatest development per-
iod the West ever has seen is blu,
opening. The leader in this devel-
opment movement is the National
Irrigation congress, that gave us the
national reclamation act of June II
1908, and that is, by its annual ses-
sions, its discussions, it's resolutions
and it's influence, the greatest body
of its kind in the United States"
Mr.. Insinger said that, great as
was the Seventeenth National Irri
CATION congress held at Spokane las
August, he believed the sessions Of
the Eighteenth congress to be held
at Pueblo September $3.50 next
would eclipse it. The earnest work
the early organization OF the Local
board of control, the careful scru'
tiny into previous congresses, and
the desire to profit by the mistakes
and experiences of it's predecessors
as evidenced by Pueblo, were en-
couraging features to the chairman
of the board OF governors.
Mr.. Insinger, who was here near
ly a week in conference with his fel-
low-members of the board of gov.
errors and with the local board OF
control, has a busy time and went
closely into the work Of preparation
for the coming sessions.
Among the entertainment features
in honor of the distinguished visit
ors was the dinner given by Mr.. In
singer. President Fowler ana others
by the trustees of the Elks club
1850 strong. They were also the
guests Of the Elks at the opening
night of their annual minstrel show

Washington, D. c., Feb. Mot
withstanding the belief prevailing in
the minds of certain senators that
q river and harbor bill will not be
passed during the present session OF
congress, a canvass OF the upper
branch shows a decided disposition
TO pass a conservative waterways
bill, should such a measure reach
the senate in time for its proper con-
sideration.
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania voiced the anti-waterway SEN
timent today in explaining the origin
of the rumors regarding river and
harbor bill.
at is the opinion Of such leaders
as Senators Hale and Aldrich that it
would be folly to pass a river and
harbor bill carrying $35,000.000 or
$40, 100000 in view OF the present
condition of the treasury. The mat
ter has had consideration by the re-
Gently created committee on public
expenditures of which Senator Hale
is acting chairman, and while no
definite action was taken the stu
alton was pretty thoroughly gone
over. An opinion exists that if we
provide for projects now building
under continuing-contract provisions
1t will be about all the present con-
gress can reasonably be expected to
do. Should we do but this the sun
dry civil bill will carry in the neigh
borhood of SIS, 100000 for continu-
ing the work of river anud harfor
improvement.
"Of course" continued the Sena-
tor, conditions may change as to
the treasury deficit in which event
a river and harbor bill would in all
probability be given respectful con-
sideration." Several other senators,
who, for personal reasons, object to
the use of their names, spoke in
much the same vein as the Senator
from Pennsylvania.
Senator Frye of Maine, chairman
of the commerce committee, and an
uncompromising friend of waterway
improvements takes a diametrical-
" opposite view Of the situation.

bill can be defeated" said Senator

Playground Statistics for 1909

New York, Jan. 4.-The Year Book
of the Playground Association of Am

i'm this city will show that out of 914
cities and towns i'm the United States
having a population of five thousand
and over, 1886 municipalities are main
tanning supervised Fairgrounds
The actual number of Fairgrounds
that We're being operated i'm 267 of
these cities during 1909 was 1886.
About fiftysix per cent. of these SUI
pervised places for the play of children
are located i'm the area of greatest dem
sity of population, i'm the North Allan
tic States, where the need for play
grounds has not only emphasized it's
self strongly upon the social mind, but
has been met to a large extent by the
actual establishment of Fairgrounds.
The number of cities i'm the North At
lantic states maintaining Fairgrounds
is l49. and the number of Fairgrounds
established i'm 1913 of them is S73.
Massachusetts particularly has led in
the playground movement, as i'm so
many other movements for progress
and social betterment
In about 40 per cent. of the cities
operating public Fairgrounds the man
aging authority, wholly or in part. is

Fairgrounds are no
longer left to the philanthropist; the
cities themselves have awakened to
their responsibilities and are including
the children In their plans.
In 50 of the larger cities local play |
ground associations have been estab-i
lished. and many of the smaller towns |
have organized playground committees |
that will shortly be converted into per- |
nanent organizations. OF great assis- |
lance have been the churches. womens
clubs, Young Mems Christian Associa-
lions. Associated Charities, and public
spirited men and women everywhere.
An index of the interest in the
movement is afforded by a survey of
