THE NATIONAL IRRIGA- 4
TioN CONGRESS MEET.
. >><< 80 . % =
(By Millard Fairlamb.)

have been requested by The Delta
Independent to briefly state some of
the proceedings of the National Irriga-
ton Congress, which convened at Salt
Lake City, Utah, last week.
The most important measure advo-
Gated by the congress was Newlands'
Rivers Regulation Bill. An act has
been introduced for the appropriation
dollars, for a term of ten years, for
the purpose of permanently regulat-
ing the flow of water in the various
tsreams of the United States. While
this sum seems large appropriation
the Mississippi river alone receives
some twenty million dollars per an-
mum, through the Rivers and Harbors
bill for the construction of levees and
dredging of channels. Notwithstand,
ing these expenditures the annual loss
by floods in the valleys of the Miss
issippi and Missouri rivers exceeds
thirty million dollars.
George A. Maxwell, a civil engineer
in the employ of the Pittsburg Floo1s
commission and the Louisiana Levee
Board states that despite the work
done SO far by the United States, the
flood waters go higher and higher,
year by year and necessitate the rails
ing of the levees each year, and that
iS that the nann1Q nf
areas affected by floods have perman-
ent relief by the impounding of flood
waters on the tributaries of the Ohio,
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, so
that the flow of these streams can be
regulated.

by On this subject, however, the con.
vention was quite divided.
The next morning Senator Newlands
president OF the congress took the floor
and in a very able and impressive ad-
dress counseled the Congress against
any movement for what he termed
Reputation of the obliations which
the West had assumed toward our
nation, in securing the funds for the
construction of these projects. He
stated that he and other representa-
tives of the Arid West in congress had
pledged the faith of the people TO the
repayment of these charges, and that
for any considerable sentiment to de-
velop against these obligations, which
to him seemed just, would inevitably
prevent further construction work
from being commenced by the United
States.
He admitted that the original intent
of the Reclamation Act in providing
for Water Users associations and for
a local board to assist in the manage
ment of these projects had not been
followed out by the Reclamation Ser
vice, he pledged himself to do what
he could toward the "democratization''
of these projects. He further voiced
his opinoin that if the entire control
of these projects, previous to pay.
ment therefor, were vested in the local
associations that the governments in
vestment could not be adequately pro,
tected and that dissentions would arise
among the different interests in each
association that might cause serious
difficulties.
Senator Newlands stated he was au-
thorized by F. H. Newell to announce
pointment of boards to make an ap-
praisement of the physical values of
each project, SO that the settlers under
each project would pay the actual
cost. While Mr.. Newell stated that he
did not think, that in these projects, in
view of the increase in the cost of
construction that had occurred in re-
cent years, that the present value of
these projects would at all exceed
the cost price charged against them
by the government, that for one he
would be willing to assent to a propo
sition by which settlers would pay
actual value instead of actual cost.
The preponderating sentiment of the
Congress semed to be with Senator
Newlands although it was noticeable
that with his remarks the discussion of
these questions was entirely closed.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The business outlook is daily becom-
ing more favorable. This activity in
trade will be reflected in a further re.
vival of industry also in railorad traf-
fic.
For some time past the railroads
have been taxed to their utmost capac-
ity in the handling of freight. Gross
earnings are consequently showing
handsome gains. and the returns for
September, October and November
should prove particularly gratifying af-
ter the lean period which the roads
have been obliged to endure for the
past year or two-From Henry Clews'
Market Letter
In view of this revival of business
and with the excellent outlook for the
coming year, it is the height of folly
for the average man to listen to the
office-seeking politicians who are de-
manding a Change" If business is
good with the average man. what is
the reason for a change? 1t is certain
this change and may get a good deal
worse, because change of admins
tration always brings uncertainty.
Our Democratic friends are trying
to minimize this by saying that they
will not make any changes that will
affect business adversely. But one of
the things which the last Democratic
congress tried to do was to enact
free trade sugar bill that would have
destroyed s2O.O00.000 invested in the
sugar business in Colorado and would
have stopped the distribution of over
$5.O00,000 annually to the beet sugar
farmers of the Centennial state.
Nobody knows what a Democratic
administration will do when it gets
into power. but If we Judge the future
by the past, it will bring panic and
fsrd times to the people of this coun.

This will not alone make these

support of the Irrigation Congress,
and as two thirds of the area of the
United States will be affected by the
construction of these dams, it is be-
obtaining the assent of Congress. This
measure is certainly sufficiently com
prehensive to constitute a final solu-
ton of the flood problems of the lower
reaches of our great rivers. Its Incl
Dental effect upon the West in stor-
ing flood waters for irrigating purpose
will be more beneficial than the pas
sage of the Reclamation Act of 1902.
The discussion of the practical work
ings of the Reclamation projects under
construction by the United States en-
gendered considerable heat. Imme-
diately following an illustrated lecture
by F. H. Newell of the Reclamation
Service, roll call of the states was
had, which gave opportunity for the
states of Colorado. Idaho, and Mon
tana to voice their sentiment on the
practical administration of these gov
ernment projects. Complaint seemed
to be quite universal that these pro-
jects had been extravagant, and that
the Water Users associations were
entirely excluded from their manage
ment, and the representative of the
Payette Idaho Project complained that
the government engineer in its EN-.
ploy behind every sage brush.
The discussion became somewhat
acrimonious and even lead to the de-
velopment of considerable sentiment
in favor of requesting the government
for a rebate of the cost of construction
chargeable against land irrigated there
