1 there are more LO lOIlOW. WiIH tI1O next few years it may be decided to
 go much farther than we have gone.
 So much so that we might not cheer
 fully admit that we were members of | the commission at this particular time. I hope so at least, and we promise not to be at all envious or jealous of any further progress, however great, but do reserve the privilege upon be-
 ing asked about it, to give among our excuses that we were members of the service in the early stages, etc.
 But, coming down to the practical part of the work. There is one feat
 ure connected with the reclamation
 service policies which but few realize. They appreciate it when called to their attention, but 1 fear it seldom occurs i to them. That is, we have problems 1 to solve in this bureau with which no other department of the public ser vice has to contend That is to say, the government now, for example, has expended nearly one hundred million dollars in the building of reclamation
 projects. It has not only spent it very wisely and most effectively, trying to
 secure the greatest possible service ! for every dollar spent, but has at the
 same time been required to provide
 way by which to get that money
 back again.
 When the other departments spend
 money it is gone; they tell it good 1 bye A warship is built at large cost
 and whether it sinks a foe or itself
 should land at the bottom of the sea,
 the money spent never returns. Whel.
 money is expended in building har-
 bors, improving the navigability of the
 rivers, etc, we never expect to see it
 returned directly to the government in dollars and cents; we only expect
 its return, if at all, in the way of general benefits to the public. Hence
 the difficulties confronting the depart
 ments making such expenditures are , not so great as in the reclamation
 service, where we must provide way
 to have returned to the reclamation i, fund every dollar expended in our
 work.
 AS stated in the case of Baker vs. Swigert, by the United States supreme court, it is contemplated that every dollar of the reclamation fund shall , be returned to it; the expenditures : bear no interest hence unless means Is provided whereby the money ex- pended shall be returned, the fund will eventually become depleted , and just to the extent it may not be , returned to that particular fund, the funds needed for new projects are de
 pleted I fear the water users under 7 the various projects too often forget this particular feature. When their l projects are placed in operation they , realize the great benefits derived, but f forget the millions of acres of arid : land waiting for the expenditure of more money. It is very important , that this money be returned to the : fund in order that we may further F conquer the desert. We must have l 1t to carry on our warfare; not upon
