LINDLBT, Cahhier. SI'OKAXK, Wash., May 28. Re jru riling tho importance of the work the mttiimnl irrigation congress, R. Insinger. chairman of the board of coiitml, says: Tlu national ivrlaination act was passed in 11)02. At that time there were in the jjoverniucntV name, in the 1.) states affected, 000,000,000 acres of arid land, nf which it was esti mated possible to reclaim sufficient to support 50.000,000 people. !ty Htll the reclamation service will have reclaimed nearly 2,000,000 acres, at an estimated cost of $70,000,000. There arc "1,000,000 aeres of arid lamN susceptible to reclamation by irrigation. The construction cost of the reclamation works is returned to the government from the sale of land, the proceeds to bo again used in fur thering irrigation development. Irri gation is makinir a garden spot and an empire of the 'Great American de-ert,' and the work of the irriga tion congress is yet in it infancy." ASHLAND MASONS ARE PLANNING LARGE TEMPLE ASHLAND. Or., May 20. Mem bers of the Masonic lodge met re cently in a business session and talk ed over the building question. Dif ferent phases of the matter were con siilored ending in n decision to have architects draw up varying plans, which contemplate a three-story ele vation in front with moderate exten sion to rear, or leave the frontage two stories as at present with quite an extensive addition to the rear. These plans will be examined at length, revised if seen fit anil sub mitted to the bulge for furthei con sideration before anything definite is tleeided on. All present lit the meet ing were unanimous in the opinion that more room is an imperative ne cessity, as with blue lodge, chapter, cmmandcry. shrine and Kastern Star organizations occupying the build ing, there is need for expansion. The lodge meets again next Mondady eve ning, when the improvement will be further requested in order that n thorough understanding and diseiis sion of the pro.jeet may be had. !fttr. 3vznt Ifamptott Isaacs Instructor of "JUano.
