i A1SS oAc oui4ts anu the wealth OF thi
nation is increased.
The early pioneer on an irrigated
projects had many hardships to en-
dure, many Heterogeneous to face
But when we see the conditions that
exist on many western irrigation pro-
jects, the beautiful homes with all
modern conveniences. running water
in the houses. electricity for lighting
and power purposes, and all the con-
veniences that modern civilization can
give, we are forced to realize that the
reclamation of western arid lands has
added much to our national wealth.
am Of the opinion that the pioneer
ing stage ann went through in
the developing of our western irr;pa-
ton projects has nit only resulted in !
adding to our material wealth but has |
brought out all the finer characteris-
TICS OF man. 1t is noted fact tina tnear-
~ All the great modern reformers have
mad their organ in the west. When
man gets close to nature. as he NEG
essarily does in the process OF develop-
Ing our arid lands, the finer senti- |
ments are brought out, nobler inpul-
ses dominate. more democratic raIa-
tionship Of man to man prevail and
1t Is bound to have an uplifting in
fuence on the entire race.
AS we are living in section where
we are depending entirely on irriga-
ton for the production of crops. and
as we are honstantly confronting with
problems that constantly arise on a
reclamation project, I viii go into
some Of the details relative to the dis
rioution Of water the distribution of
water being one of the factors and
cry important factor in the successful
exclamation of arid land
Under this provision it becomes
eeessary that any stream, WHARF
'ater rights have been obtained
Measurements be made of the stream,
well as the quantities of water he
lg diverted by the different canals
Measurements are made on the large
'reams and at the head of large

g
me irrigation Of arid land has been
a very important factor in develonine
the West There is no question hut
that the lands under irrigation pro-
duce more crops per unit than lands
that depend on rain fall. The avara 90
gross value per acre of crops producad
on the Uniter States Reclamation nro-
Jects in 1922 was approximately 81. No
per acde. The large yields of alfalfa.
wheat and other crops raised on ir-
rigated lands in the West are very
much above the yields on land !. the
East watered by rain fall. The East
ern farmer would undoubtedly REGARD
with suspicion as to his honesty any
one who might claim for the produc-
tivity of the Western irrigated lands
what we all know to be true.
one Of the advantages that irriea- |
ton has over rain fan is that the water
can be applied to the plant at the time
It is needed and in sufficient QUAINT
tiles to produce maximum results
In the early history Of the west the
covered wagon was seen winding IFS

'upants suffering all the hardshins

KLANSMEN FALL l THROUGH FLOORING
Police Investigate Sudden Drop From Patriotic
 Meeting

Point Pleasant, N. J., Aug. 1S.- Police today began an investigation into the collapse last night of the main floor of the First Methodist church community house while soc persons, 400 of whom were members of the ku Klux klan in full regalia, were listening to a patriotic address delivered by Mrs. Leila Bell. In the eight foot drop of several hundred persons to the basement, of the build- ing, several score received injuries, most of which were trivial.
 Panic was narrowly averted when the floor of the recently-erected build ing, which had been laid by members of the congregation sagged at the cen- ter of the large room. Clinging to radiators, window ledgers and the other edge of the floor, more than 100 of the audience escaped the drop.
 All physicians within a five mile radius were summoned while state and local police, f1remen and residents of the summer colony worked Eith the ropes and ladders extricating the victims.
 Physicians reported having treated more than so persons.
