Irrigation Talk.
V. W. Robertson, publisher
of the Yakima (Wash.) Daily
Republic, in an interview in the
Weiser Signal, soid regarding
the irrigation of our high lands:
"There are no hotter opportu
n'ties for reclamation work un
der the shining sun than hero.
Those who hoped for govern
ment rechimntion here should
not forget that the deportment
has already undertaken work
which will cost many millions
in excess of the funds available
I do not see how it will he pos
sible for the department to au
thorize any new projects for
several years. Secretary Hallin
ger has officially stated that it
will not he done. Having hillen
off moro than ho can chew
Uncle Sam must now work out
i method of mastication. He
will do it without a douht; hut
people here who hope for de
velopment to proceed within
their lifetime should not over
look the fad that lime, which is
9) essential to them, cuts hut
little figure with tho govern
ment. "Not being a capitalist and a
prohuhlo purchaser of irrigation
bonds, I am not much of an ml
mirer of tho ironclad contracts
which seems to be a necessary
preliminary to irrigation by pii
vate corporations; hut in the
light of our experience in the
Yakima valley, I can say that it
is better to sign a stiff contract
than to wait for tho govern
ment, (iuvcrnment irrigation
is a good thong. But time flies
and most of us ore beginning
to figure that we havo hut one
life to live,"
