BLANCHARD TELLS HOW
u. S. R. S. WORKS

what was once the arid west.
The knowledge of the west and its
resources gained by the tourist would
increase his confidence in western
securities and would encourage larg-
err investment, he said. A wider
knowledge of the west will in time
compel congress to abandon its long
continued policy of indifference and
neglect of our parks and will bring
more liberal appropriations for their
management.
Our new secretary of the interior is
advocating a definite and practical
policy for the administration OF these
Fairgrounds of the people. He should
have the hearty cooperation of every
patriotic American whose pride OF
country extends beyond his own door
yard.
Mr. Blanchard described the ac-
complishments of the reclamation SER
vice In eight years. 1000 miles Of
canal have been dug, 8 miles of tun-
nels have been excavated through the
mountains and three of the greatest
irrigation dams in the world have
been built. Water is now available
for l,OS6, 900 acres of land upon
WHICH 4 uUu IduliileS are uOW NV %
ing, and land values have increased
SOS, 100000.
The acreage reported as included
in projects is 31,112,110 an increase
of 17,373,611 over the acreage ir-
rigated in 1909. This additional
acreage is distributed among the
states in about the same proportions
as in 1909, except that Oregon re-
ports nearly 1000, 900 acres. Much
Of this land under ditch but not yet
irrigated is undoubtedly in farms
which are already taken up but only
partially irrigated
The hearty support of the federal
control of reclamation irrigation pro-
jects was urged by r. V. Fletcher
OF Illinois and other speakers. w.
l.. Park declared tnat state control
of reclamation projects is impractical
bic, as no state had the resources
10 undertake the pro- ecJs essential to
the development Of arid section of the
west Expressions favoring federal
control came as an answer to the
criticism by Fred Whiteside of Mon
tana on Bureaucratic red tape
which he declared was delaying irri-
cation. He announced thar the
American reclamation federation will
be formed tomorrow and will be an
Independent organization, but the
members can be affiliated with the
irrigation congress.

MOTION TO DISMISS CASES

Washington, Dec. 6. - The Com
merce court today denied q motion
TO dismiss further proceedings before
the court in the ira ns-continental

by the Chicago association Of COM

granted as the government already
had appealed the case on the tenn

$4,000 FROM
1856 TREES IN
PAL|SADE

Phil Boiler of Palisade, on five
acres, has $50 apple trees. This year
the trees bore 3 1904 boxes of aples, an
average of nearly ten to the tree. The
crop netted Boiler $4,000 or about
$500 per acre.
This was a year of low prices.
Boiler SAYS he would have easily
cleared over 81 900 per acre off his
apple orchard during the season had
it not been for the change in prices.

APPROPRIATIONS RESTRICT
REDUCTION OF DUTIES
House Leaders Point Out to Younger
Colleagues Conditions That
Confront Them.

Something Of a damper is thrown
upon the enthusiasm Of the new demo-
Gratis in the House who are eager TO
tear the wool schedule wide open by
consideration OF a fact called to their
attention by the elder statesmen The
appropriations for the next fiscal year
have already been made and Though
they were made by a republican con-
gress, the money to meet them must
be provided, and the democratic HOuae
viii be responsible for failure to do 80
IL II cuts down the revenues.
This consideration Is back of all the
talk Of the House leaders about rails
ing the revenues. Placing wool on the
free list would cut Off about sci, 200. 900
of revenues at one fell swoop and COM
ing on top Of the reductions carried by
other proposed tariff legislation OF the
democrats would raise a serious situ-
alton.
The leaders point out to their COL
leagues that something like a billion
and twenty-five million dollars have
been appropriated for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1912, and that no efforts of
the democrats toward economy can be
efYective until the new appropriations
are made.
The money has been authorized, based
upon the estimated revenues of the
government under existing tariff law.
and the present Congress will be re-
sponsible for changes In the law which
might create a deficit
