IRRIGATION and TIE DESERT

An analysis of the preliminary
census results Of irrigation in the
arid States, recently issued by the
census bureau, furnishes n good
deal of Information conc rrning
the very remarkable strides which
irrigation is making il the recla-
nation of the Great American
Desert. This report is illum; mating
as showing the snorm JUS III crease
in our taxable wealth viii n has
resulted .frsm the V.,'ious enter
prises for reclamation of a legion
which. until recently, was req arded
as . liability rather than a
national asset. -
Within the decade of 1900 and
1910 fetal of 50.146 farm
families were established on ir-
rigateG farms. making a fetal Of
l57, 862 farm families now residing
on reclamation lands. Or these
farms 13.739,499 acres were ir-
rigated in 1909, an increase of
S2.5 per cent in ten years. To
bring water to these lands has
required, an investment Of $780,
699,460 in canal systems having
a total mileage Of 1865: in
reservoirs strong 12,a72, 600 acre
feet; in 1895 pumping plants and
SOTO flowing wells.
AS the future development of
irrigation on any large scale is
dependent upon the work o. large
corporations and the federal
government comparison Of the
progress shown by these fac tors is
interesting, and probation can be
made from the tabulalion of what
is likely to be acconpli shed curing
the next few years.
The Carey act was passed in
1888 permitted several sta les to
segregate large areas of public
domain and to negotiate with
corporations for rec,an alton.
Idaho shows the largest de-
velopmant under the law, With an
acreage included nler several
enterprises in 1910 of l, O93.671
Oregon is second with 1926
acres. Wyoming 426,47 acres and
Montana 3O6. 997 acres.
The total area included in all
Carey act projects in 1910 was e..
573,874 acres Of which, 1,0S9,677
acres were capable of being irri-
gated in 1910. Tie government
irrigation projects embraecd L.
973,0l6 acre, of which 786, l9O
we're ready for irrigation. %.
A comparison of thu figures for
acres actually irrigated in 1919
will prove surprise to most
people who have been led to be-
lieve that the develop ment under
the Carey act was much more
rapid than under the reclamation
law. While the formt: has been
in operation since 1882, the
acreage actually irrigated on all
projects constructed under this
law in 1909 was only 1858.
The reclamation lew was passed
in 1902.
In 1909 the area actually sup
piled with water on the govern
ment projects was 39b, 646 acres.
or approximately "a per cent
geater than under the Carey act
works.

BOARD
 |S APPOINTED
New Sanitary Commission Named by Governor Hunt It consists of John Hen messy, Wm. Morgan and Fred T. Coalter.

John Hennessy of Flagstaff, Will liam Morgan of Lake View, Navajo county. and Fred T Coulter of Springerville, were named yesterday by Governor Hunt as members of the sheep sanitary commission. These gentlemen succeed James Scott of Pinedale H. J. Grey or Jerome and John Hennessy. who was reappointed. All are northern men, for the reason that most of the sheep interests of the state are in the north.
 The secretary of the former board was Dr. J. C. Norton, territorial vet ernaran. who in health matters had general supervision by virtue of his office and it was thought could han de the secretaryship with less eX- pense and more effectively than any body else under the circumstances.
 Whether there will he another sec retary now is not announced. and probably will not be until the mat ter of state veterinarian is settled.

TWO COURTS
 IN SESSION
Judge Phillips Calls Calen- dar for Spring Term Judge Morrow Announces Several New Appoint
 ments. Juries to be Drawn

Superior Judge J. C. Phillips yester- day called the calendar for the spring term of court
 Nearly three hundred cases are down for trial, and even with the usual al lowance for dsmissals and continu- ances, enough litigation is promised to occupy the attention of the court for many months to come. The bar was well represented during the calendar call, the attorneys interesting them- selves in securing satisfactory dates.
 The jury for service in civil cases is to be drawn on April Sth. There is some conflict over the proper prOce- dure under the changed order and a bill k to be introduced early in she legislative session making plain the procedure. for the benefit of the su- perior judges. Under the old rule the probate judge assisted in the drawing of the jury. Now there is no probate judge.
 If this technicality c&: be arranged in time Judge Phillips will take up the criminal work with a jury March 26th. Every prisoner awaiting trial will then be given his day in court, and the judge also plans another crim- inal jury just before the summer gets down to active business in order that defendants may not be kept in the county jail an unTpaSonably long time.
 The United States district court held d brief session preceding the superior sitting At this session Vernon l.. Clark was appointed jury commission CT James R. Dunseath was appointed United States commissioner at Tue son. Mr Dunseath is a former court officer. J. C. Forrest. of Prescott, and Judge e. T. Richey. of Tucson took the oath of office as assistants to the United States attorney

COOPERATION
 THE KEY N0TE
Board of Trade Doing Fine Work But It Could Ac- complish Much More if Given the Support it Deserves.

The good work of the Phoenix board of trade is SD apparent it is trite to call attention to it frequently and the only reason for doing so is to keep the matter before the minds of those who are entitled to little or no credit for the much that has been done. in the hope that their cooperation may be secured. The board has accom- plished wonders considering it's limited resources, but there is so much that might be done, it is deplorable that it is not more liberalIy supported
 A few Phoenix people are doing all that could be expected of them in that direction, and many more are doing d little. but by far the greater number of the inhabitants in and around Phoenix are giving of neither their time nor their money to the work of the board. though they are benefitng by it as much as anybody.
 These statements are not made in peeVishness. or to imply that anybody who is supporting the board is doing more than his share or feels in any way imposed upon. On the contrary the inspiration of the statements is an appreciation of how much more could be accomplished if the rest of the people would get in and work with the same enthusiasm that some of them have With twice it's present financial support the board could do five times as much for every dollar added to a well equipped organization has working value of greatly in- creased ratio.
 And the work of the board of trade is something that all can and do en- dorse. the worst offense of any citi- zen being that of apathy Neither creed. political preference nor business interest opposes its undertakings and everybody wishes the hustlers well, but it is regretted that there are not more of them. Every citizen might well ask himself if he is doing his part, or perhaps if he is doing every thing. The board wants all the big it can get for main tenance and advertising. but it also wants all the little ones and most of all membership and influence of every citizen who claims the capital pr it's environs as his home.
