means for the settlement of more
than one-third of the urea of tho
United States.
"There is 000,000,000 acres of va
cant laud and there Is, under tho
storage system, water available to Ir
rigate one-sixth of It.
"If the government provides $10,

acres can be redeemed and homes can
bo provided for 20,000,000 people. It
Is the greatest work that we of tho
West have to do,"

rested this morning on the charge of stealing wheat from the
ranch of B. F. McElroy, on the reservation. He is on trial
this afternoon.

out a warrant for him and he was re-arrested, Mclilioy
claimed the grain had been taken from his place and that there
were more people who had lost wheat in tho same way, '
