Sept., 17. Tho cele brated Euglish engineer, Sir William Wlllcock, is now engaged in a gigan tnc scheme of Irrigation for trans forming large areas of Asia Minor, situated between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, from barren soil in to land productive in tho highest de gree. When tno land is compelled In about ten years time there will be almost unlimited opportunities for agricultural and commercial enter- prisesln those parts of Asia Minor which are now practically closed to the outside world. Although Turkey possessor of .Asia Minor will be the chllgrainer by the change wrought In thnt country there are no reason why the United States should ot share In the com erclal profits to ba derived from re sources necessary to developo a count ry of this magnitude, and conse quently forelgu investors will bo wel comed on terms that will enable them to secure big dlvidens in the ancient empire of Babylon and Nln eva. The country which Sir 'William Wlllcock is about to Irrigate lies be tween the head of the Persian Gulf and the town of Kegrlt on the river TlgresB In Meaopotanla. This im mense area has been divided into Iflteen sections which can be Irrigat ed 6lmulataneously or one after the other according to t he amount of monoy available for carrying out the work. Tho area Includes 40,000 square miles, every square Inch Is capable of being Irrigated and culti vated. The general scheme includes the Improvement of tho rivers Tlgres and Euphrates as a meanes of trans- portatnon, in the construction of can als for the same purpose. At the present moment only a very Inconsid erable portion of this naturally rich rich country Is under cultivation, and the meanes of transportation are al together inadequate. Sir William Wlllcock, who has al ready gained fame ao an originator and Jdrector of that vast scheme of irrigation, which under tho auspices of the English government so aug mented the prosperity of Egypt has made the following statement on his tusk In Asia Miner: "As an irrigation engineer, inter ested In reclaiming tho country, I have nothing to do with politics. I have worked abroad all ray life, Just as while I ato India salt I con sidered mysolt an Indian, and while I ato Egyptian salt I considered my self an Egyptian, so if I wero to eat Turkish salt I would consider my self a Turk.
