claims Of soldiers can and do re-

Two OF the most difficult tasks
the Republicans undertook were the
revision OF the tariff and internal
revenue laws. Bills on these two
subjects have already passed tho
House, and Senate Committees are
now working on them and viii have
them ready for action soon after the

benefit to all the State, and
Whereas, his great vision of the
benefits of irrigation of the arid

thereby, TO secure the favorable no
tice and cooperation Of the U. s.
Government, and
Whereas. he has left this great
work unfinished:

great service he has rendered, and
its profound sorrow and regret that
he could not live to see the fulfill
ment of his great vision
