Ono billion dollars to construct and Improvo deep waterways, to develop thousands of miles of territory now without adequate transportation faclll ties. Ono billion dollars for good road and national highways, for the lack of which the loss to tho farm area of the United States I approximately $600,- 000,000 annually. i to Come, actually required to carry out the g I rfffnfff In rlntnlnrtlnrv mllllnni K&ntlc icheme In developing million of acre of lauds In various part of tho United States now absolutely worth less," said Mr. Hooker In explaining tho plan. "Congrct s will not be asked to appropriate a penny. Tho returns from tho Improvements would pay off the bonds. The government would ,mply Bct Bs a banker, ns It does now for lho v,rioui) inipiion proJect. the bond issue would provide ample fund a required to carry out the work in the several divUlons, at the aamo time giving tho best posslblo collateral to thoso investing In those securities. "Government figures bear out the statement that there la enough good land overflowed in Minnesota, Wiscon sin, KaAfi, Nebraska, Louisiana, Kentucky, Trtinetse and Mississippi to make an area as large a the statu of Missouri, or moro tban 44,000,000 acres, while In the Eastern, Central and WesUrn state there is more than a much more, or about 100,000,000 acre in all. At a conservative esti mate of $26 an acre, tho sale of this reclaimed land would justify the ex penditure of $2,600,000,000, or about ICO per cent moro than is required to drain it. This land would cupport from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 popula tion. "Approximately 40,000,000 acre of lad In Western and Southwestern states are adapted to Irrigation, wLIch, if reclaimed nt an average cost of $26 an acre, would be worth not less than $200 an acre, or a total of $8,000,000, 000, and provide homes for more than 8,000,000 pcriona. The economic value of irrigation carnot be measured In dollars und cent, but crop of from $600 to $1,000 an acre are not rare in the Irrigated district. Thero are al ready 14,000,000 acre under Irriga tion and the Reclamation service esti mates it will have reclaimed 2.000,000 acre, at a cost not exceeding $70,000, 000. before the close of 1011. "The construction and improvement of the deep waterwaya required to pro vide better and cheaper transportation facilities is, I believe, a 100 per cent investment, from the fact that two thirds of the bulky freight could be hipped by water routes, at a cost to the shipper of not more than one-sixth of the present rail rates. The import ance of this become apparent when it is remembered that the food questien I becoming a world problem. "The state of New York is expend ing $101,000,000 to enlarge the Erie canal, and $100,000,000 fs tho amount required to improve the Missouri river from a point about 40 miles west of Yellowstone park to whero it meets the Mississippi river, 2,647 mile. Then there 1 the projected waterway from Lftko Mkn'Rnn to the Gulf of Mexico "! fores ot other necessary to chesp anu neiicr transportation lactitttes, Million oi dollars will bo saved annu ally to tho jieoplo of the United States by the completion of these works. "Tho maintenance of tho greatest water way in the world, composed of the Great Lake, on which the govern ment of the United States has expend ed more than $90,000,000 for harbors and connocting channels, presents an argumont in favor of tho scheme to de velop thousands of miles of territory in tho Missouri and other valleys. Th other projects outllneQ In the foregoing are of equal if not greater importance, and with proper backing they can be, carried out successfully. "No one quoatlona tbe statement that good roads have a high money value to the fitrmors of the nation, and it may ba oald that this alono is euffl cient to justify the cost of their con struction bb rapidly as practicable un- doF Bn eolent, economical and cquit- able system of highway Improvement.

Tho necessity of good roads . . - U obvious, a It would enhance the valuo of each section of land about $6,7G0, or mora than double tho esti mated cost of two miles of Improved highway, which constitute the quota for G40 acre of land. "The value of our forests wa never better appreciated than today. Within tho arid and semi-arid portions of the Western state nearly 124,000,000 acre are covered with wood'and, of Vhi'je for fuel, fence post and other purpose essential to the aucees of the farmer. There are also 97,000,000 acre covered with heavy forest hav ing commercial value for timber and logs for sawmills, also hundreds of thousand of acre of timber land in other parU of tho United State. Re forestation and conservation of the vast resources are necessary to provide futuro generation with timber and lumber supplies. The government Is expending large amount of money every veer to protect It forest from fires, yet expert lumbermen say that or accident Wizard Oil take the place mor standing timber I destroyed byiof the family doctor. Aieyousup- flames annually than I converted into Merchantable lumber by the sawmill." Mr. Hooker said it 1b likely that hi resolution will bo presented to the var ious Interests of the irrigation con gress for discussion and will afterward be incorporated in a memorial to the United Sttea congress. It i also pur posed to have a large delegation, com posed of representatives of every state and territory in the Union, push the measure for adoption. The work of enlisting the support of the people in terested in the various project will be taken up immediately after the close of the irrigation congress with tho view to concerted action. letting Him Iloirn ICar A young man of very limited meant", after the marriage ceremony, present ed to tho minister twenty-seven large copH.-r cents, nil spread out on the palm of hi right hand.
