Drafts drawn on all 1IMATII MS mm AT BOISE CITY Boise, lhaho., September 3. The four teenth national Irrigation Congress opened here today with a large attendance from all parts of the United States. Represent atives of every State Government, of the Government of the United States, de'egates appointed by Mayors of cities in all parts of the country, representatives of commercial industrail and financial organizations, of agricultural and horticult -ural societies, companies, immigration societies, etc., and many other prominet persons intersted in the subject of irrigation are among those attending the j Congress which will be in session until! September 8, inclusive. An interesting program has been arranged for the Congress. It will embrace a consideration and discussion of the following main features: Saving the forest; storing the floods; reclaiming the deserts; establishing of homes on the reclaimed land. The Congress is held in the midst of irrigation projects showing every state of development. Two of the greatest enterprises of the Reclamation Service of the United States, and smaller propositions of private and co-operative enterprise, ranging from the first year of be taken as object lessons, teaching prac tical irrigation from a practical stand point Ample arrangements have been made for the use of the division of the congress on engineering and mechanics, which will hold meetings of special inter est throughout the congress. Stereoptic an viewsof work under construction and completed will be used in illustrating ad dresses and reports. A comprehensive exhibit of the products of irrigation, in cluding grains, grasses, fruit of all kinds, vegetables and especially sugar beets has been arranged in quarters adjoining the convention hall where the congress is holding its sessions. The session today was opened by Vice-President Fairbanks and there were about 1500 delegates present. The desert is fast disappearing before the magic touch of American thrift and pluck. It is estimated that millions of acres are now irrigated and the value of our agricultural products has been in creased thereby more thsn one hundred nd fifty million dollars per annum. The government has not entered upon the problem of irrigation without due consid eration. The irrigation law is founded upon an entirely rational and defensible theory. It provides that money from the sale of public lands shall be set apart for irrigation. Money so expended becomes a charge upon the land benefitted, repay able in annual instalments and returned to reclamation fund. The fund becomes an endless chain extendings its blessings to future years. WILL RESUME MONDAY The La Grande School of Music will re sume its regular work next Monday.

The rapid increase of our population makes it imperative that we should reclaim the waste places and make them productive. A wise irrigation system increases the number of American homes, thus aug menting the conservative forces which are the shfeguard of out political institutions. I believe theimost conservative will always be found upon the farm. The real bene factor is the one who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before. They promote the interests and welfare of the home-makers. Irrigated lands in the valleys of the arid slates and territories produce in ' profusion fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses from soil that but a few years ago to the the casual observor seemed beyond hope of cultivation. It is estimated that theamount credited to the reclamation service at the close of the fiscal year 1908 will be $41,441,- sxz.yo, ana wnen this expenditure is made it will bring under irrigation nearly 1,200 000 1;"C "rk" . wnrli I now authorized is equivalent to the esti mated amount of the reclamation fund in 1 908. To complete the work sixty mill ions of dollars in addition will be required When completed the total amount of land irrigated will be 3.200.000 acres. The secretary of the interior has under con sideration additional projects in the arid districts which will cost $109,000,000, and which when completed, will bring un der irrigation 3.070,000 acres. When the government completes work now un dertaken it will render arable nearly 6, 300.000 acres at a cost of little more than two hundred millions of dollars. It is the purpose of the promoters of ir rigation that the proceeds from the sale of public domain should be appropriated en tirely for the benefit of home-seekers. Therefore the law provides that the limit of area per entry upon irrigable lands shall be restricted to what may be reason ably required for the support of a family Irrigation is only in its preliminary stage in the United States. When all the non productive irrigable lands to the extent of irom nicy to one nunared million acres have been brought under cultivation, the wealth of the nation will be increased five billion dollars. One of the greatest questions in the fu ture will be how to conserve and increase the productive power of our agricultural regions. Scientific irrigation will be the factor of increasing importance in most of our states. We are making marvelous progress in evry depaitment ot our do. mestie economy and nowhere is our ad vancement more marked than in the field of agriculture. STRIKE (Sorlppg News Association) San Francisco. Sept. 3 Although many strike breakers are on the ground and more are expected today.
