GIGANTIC I'll AN FOIl DKVKLOl'MENT.
Arthur Hooker, secretary of the hoard of control f the
National Irrigation Congress, will present a resolution fur;
approval hy that organizalinn at its seventeenth sessions
in Spokane in August, memorializing congress to issue
3 per cent gold bonds, running 100 years, to the amount of:
$.r),n00,00( ),()()(), or as much (hereof as may he necessary.;
for the following specific purposes: ,
One billion dollars for drainaye of overflown! j
swamp lands, thus reelaiminy an area equal Jo 100.000 1
square miles.
One billion dollars for the reclamation by irrigation of
' 40.000,000 (teres of arid and semi-arid lands, now purl It or
wholly waste.
One billion dollars to ronxtnirl and improve traterira ys.
to develop thousands of miles of territory now without td-
equate transportation facilities.
One billion dollars for tood roads am! national highways,
for the lack of which the lots lo the farm area of the United
Slates is approximately 500.000,000 annually.
One billion dollars for forest protection, reforestation
and conservation of the forest resources, thu assuriny
timber and lumber supplies for centuries to come.
Five billions of dollars is an enormous sum, but it is no
more than is actually require.! to carry out 1 lie vrigantit
scheme in developing millions of acres of lands in various
parls of the United States now absolutely worthless. Con
gress will not be asked to appropYiale a penny. The re
turns from the improvements would pay off the bonds.
The government would simply act a a banker, as it does
now for Hie various irrigation projects. The bond issue,
would provide ample funds as required to carry out the
work in the several divisions, at 'the same time giving tin'
best possible collateral to those invest ing in those seciirit ics.
(iovermncnt fiirures bear out the statement that there is
enoueli gonil land "voH'lov i d in iimiM!.' west Mates to make
an area ;w large as the state of Missouri, or more than 14.
000.000 acres, wliile in the eastern and western states then
is more than as much more, or about 100.000.000 acres in
all. At ; nservative estimate of "J.") an acre, the sale of
this reclaimed land would justify the expenditure of
.")00,000.000. nr U)0 per cent more than is required to drain
it. Approximately 10.000.000 acres of lands in western
and southwestern states are adapted to irrigation, which,
if reclaimed at an average cost of -J.'i an acre, would In
worth not .less (ban '00 an acre, or a lotal of S.000.OOO,0OO,
and provide homes for more than S.000.000 persons. The
economic value of irrigation cannot be measured in dollar
and fi-nts, but tin- -ro!s .(' from v' ;,, V'"io ;UI e are
not rare in Ijie irrigated dish-ids.
II is staled that 1 00.000.1 ioo U ir amount required lo
improve the Missouri river from a point about 0 miles
West of Yellowstone !u U to where it liieels the Mississippi
river, L'"I7 miles. Then there is the projected waterway
from Lake Michigan to the (iulf of Mexico and scores
of others necessary to cheap and heller I rausportat ion
facilities. Millions of dollars will be saved annually in
the peoph- of the United Stales by. lite compleli"'! of these
works.
No one questions the sf'atcmeut that good mads luT a
high money value to the farmers of the nation, an 1 it may
Iio said (hat (his alone is sufficient to justify the cost of
(heir construction as rapidly as practicable under an ett'i
eient, economical and equitable system of highway im
provement. The big points in favor of (his expenditure
is the economy of time and force in transportation between
farm and market, enabling the growers to take advantage
of fluctuations in buying and selling, as well as enhancing
flio v:Itio of ronl nsfnte !

MEDFORD'S LARGEST EXCLUSIVE LADIES' STORE.
Tliut charming little opera "The
Mascot" proved lo be Manager Wal
ters mascot, for on Saturday eve-:
niuK the largest audience that has
lyet attended the performances of
I the Boston Ideal opera canipany,
! wart on hand, which fact attested the
popularity of this opera. The per
J fonnance was clever throughout and
I frit-atly enjoyed. '
It is in this opera as llcttina, Miss
j rainier scores her greatest success.
' The part fits her and shows off to
I LMvut advantnae her clevpr versatil
ity. Not only is she dainty and
charming as the little country girl,
but she takes the pari of the angry
countess well. Her hit of tho eve
ning was in duet with Wallers.
I largess and "Quiz." as Mr.
tjuissenlmry is known, from that af
I feotinn which finds its expression in
diminutives, are at their best in
this opera and best may hero be
intorprotntcd as the quintessence lof
! icily. Wallers sang as usual and
his solo "In Dreamland" is one of his
: best numbers.
j Tuesday evening "Martha" will be
presented with Ed Andrews as
J "I'lunkelt." "Martha" is a clever
piece of work, and will no doubt
prove to he very popular.
