It must lio reiiiembered that tho irrigation movement is a new thing In tho Kant. I'rlor to tho prccent rei'slon of ronuroas it has hardly been considered seriously by 10 per cent of tho Kastcrn congress men. And It must be remembered that in what may bo considered tho early ntngcs of a now movement, a great mans of lltcraturu mid discussion and elTort iniut bo put forth which will serve simply as a menus of direct ing attention to the subject and indi cating the variety of intcrostsruud pur poses favoring and behind it. Whon Individual efforts and attempts at leg islation In tho alia poo I hills introduced and amendments ottered in congress become to numerous an J insistent as to assume the nature of a public clamor, then the proper committee, whether hostile or favorably diaposed to the project, mint givo tlio matter consideration: must gather all the kin dred bills together mid. formd.
