the visit of Director Ryan and Sir
William Willcocks to the valley.
In the meantime | pounded away
on the secretary himself.
Lane is big, broad minded
man, perhaps the most capable ex-
ecutive now in public life. He
wants to help the west and he is
particularly friendly to Colorado.
The chief objection he raised TO
your drainage proposition, how
ever, was that the reclamation law
does not authorize the construction
of drainage works except as an in
cident to the construction of an
irrigation system. | tried to show
him that he could develop water in
the San Luis valley which could
be used at Elephant Butte. He
was skeptical and in addition felt
that it would be difficult to assess
the cost on the landowners in the
Elephant Butte project.
finally induced the directors of
the reclamation service to recon-
mend to the secretary survey of
the valley. They asked for an APP
preparation of $4,000 from the
reclamation fund. The secretary
refused to approve this recommen-
dation and for time | was in de-
spair.
1t was here that Director Ryan
came to my rescue and devised the
plan by which the proposed survey
of the valley is to be made. 1t is
not necessary for me to go into de-
tails concerning how that work is
to be financed 1t is sufficient to
know that the survey will be COM
plete enough to give us very accu-
rate data touching every phase of
your drainage problem.

Survey for Drainage in the San Luis Valley

very kind letter of August 18th,
feel that We have achieved a dis
tlnct victory in inducing the secre-
tary of the interior to order a com
plete survey of the San Luis valley,
The lions share of the credit
should be given to Director RYAN
OF the reclamation service. who has
assisted me in every way within
his power. Sir William Willcocks
also did vast amount of effective
boosting. He submitted long re.
report on the valley and the re-
suits which would follow the con-
structlon Of proper drainage sys.
TEN This report has not been
released for publication, but [ am
endeavoring to secure it from the
secretary of the interior because I
believe it is document which will
prove of vast value to the valley.
OF course our fight up to date
has been merely preliminary
skirmish-a clearing of the ground,
as it were, The real battle is vet
to come.
When | first approached the in
terror department with the sugges
ton that government funds should
be used to drain the San Luis val
ley'l did not meet with great
deal of encouragement. / was act
ually afraid to tell you gentlemen
OF the facts concerning the situa-
tion because [ feared you would
become discouraged and abandon
the contest.
1t was because | wanted to in
terest the officials of the interior
department and give them an ade-
quate grasp of the possibilities of
the valley that l arranged the con-
ference with Assistant Secretary
Jones at Denver and arranged for
The Monte Vista journal., 1914-09-05

us we can formulate definite
proposition to the government or
perhaps the government can form
ulate definite proposition to us.
1t may be that it will be necessary
, to secure additional legislation. If
so, | will introduce whatever bill
may be necessary. | hope that we
will not have to appeal to congress.
The congressional wheels grind
slowly AID of course we all want
work begun as soon as possible.
If in some way we can leave the
matter with Secretary Lane and
the reclamation service, am con-
tident we will get results.
So far ms | am concerned, | feel
that it will be most unfortunate if
the plans for draining the valley
were not made on an adequate
scale. THE SAN LUIS VALLEY is
AN EMPIRE AND ITS DEVELOPMENT
MUST BE OF IMPERIAL PROPORTIONS.
The drainage system should cover
the entire valley. If the water de-
veloped can be used beneficially in
the valley, then l would not be in
favor of permitting it to flow across
the line into New Mexico. Sir
William Willcocks contends that
it can be so used; other engineers
take issue with him. The survey
will settle this problem. 1t is just
possible that we can make the
drainage and irrigation of the San
Luis valley tremendous reclama-
tion project, which will not only
redeem the lands which have gone
to 'seep," but will also provide
water supply for the lands which
are now dry. l intend to earnestly
cooperate with you and the other
citizens the San Luis valley in of
working out this tremendous prob
lem. Very sincerely yours,
EDWARD HEATING.

SUBSEQUENT HISTORY OF PA
TENTS DISCHARGED FROM TJT-
BERCULOSIS SANATORIUMS

iAEN = DISCHARGED FROM TU-
BERCULOSlS SANATORIUMS
The department of health of the
city of New York has published a re-
port of an investigation begun in 1908
by the Council Of Jewish Women TO
determine the status of patients dis
charged from tuberculosis sanator-
iums. The information covered about
a thousand patients discharged from
number of sanatoriums. The in
vestigators were able to report 554 of
these, 100 of whom were dead. The
results show a steady increasinc
number of deaths after discharge from
the sanatorium, indicating a rather
discOuraging outlook for the sanator
ium treatment. No satisfactory COM
parison can be made, however, because
there are no data to show how similar
cases would do without sanatorium
treatment. What is really shown is
that the sanatorium helps for while
and stimulates the patient to fight the
disease better than he otherwise could.
The social survey, says The Journal
of the American Medical Association
shows what is yet but imperfectly rec
ognized although repeatedly called TO
notice, namely, that the tuberculosis
medical one. The majority of those
discharged return to conditions which
render the fight all but hopeless.
Dark, insanitary tenements, fatigu
ing and poorly paid work, and lack of
necessary care meet the discharged
patient on his return from the sana-
forum, and it is no wonder that the
sanitary instructions of the institu-
ton are soon forgotten from sheer
inability to apply them. To meet this
difficulty, Improvements in our method
are needed, both from medical and
from a socioogic point of view. The
necessity of more Sanatorlums so as to
provide an opportunity to the patient
to stay until better able to meet ad-
verse conditions is evident A more
efficient medical supervision after the
patient leaves the sanatorium is inn
perative. This can be promoted by
the establishment of farm colonies
or institutions where the patient can
carry on his work under medical sup
ervision. A sympathetic social con-
uol is needed that shall establish in
innate confidential relations with the
patient on entering the sanatorium,
find out his home environment and
provide for its improvement before
his return, is necessary. This help
should continue after his discharge
and should provide for occasional re-
examination,
