the influence of the National Irri-

as it was at the time it worked for
the Roosevelt Reclamation Act and

Congress will be able to forward
this movement is not improbable, as

The areas east Of the Rocky

the eastern boundary of the irriga-

Mr.. Brown is a resident of Den

largest real estate holders. With no
thirst for greater wealth than he
has, he has for years been trying
to learn by actual experience the
sufferings of men who are honest
and willing to work, and of others
who are shiftless and almost worth
less, as result, possibly. he thinks,
OF the governments neglect.
Mr.. Brown is known all over the
country. His efforts as a friend
to the friendless' have been praised
by President Taft, and one of the
Denver mans treasured possessions
is letter from the president, in
curing about his experiences in
helping the homeless men of large

this out, and confirms his opinion
