Editor Courier As the National Irrigation Congress has met and fin ished its work, it may be proper for me to give a brief statement of what was done. This part of Oregon represented by JRoy Wilson and your correspondent, and I think that we did as well as any otheis could have done under the same conditions. We sought and secured an interview with tbe government reclamation officials which will doubtless result in mncb rood. We had witb ns a maD wbiob showed the amount of land that oonld be irrigated from the Rogue and Illinois rivers, and which was folly - explained by Mr! Wilson and myself and highly appreciated by the officials. They gave ns the assoranoe that our propositions should receive prompt attention. Tbe congress was com posed of abont 1300 delegates from 80 states and territories, a majority of them being mea of experience and prominence. Governors and senators were there In foil force. In fact, a snore representative body of men woold be hard to find in any country It was very gratifying to see the congress so heartily in favor of ulilii DIED. if in Jackson ooonty readily sell at from $50 to 150 an acre. Mr. Tro bridge says that so far as he can see trie character of the soil and market facilities of the two counties are tbe same for both are in Bogoe. River Valley and both have tbe SontWn Pacific railroad and he sees no reason why that witb better roads and mora farmers of the Drorsessiva tvn that Josephine county farms should not readily sell for the fancy prices had for Jackson connty property.

Some of the delegates even claimed that a proper adjust ment of land and water rights would be the solotion of our social problems. Depopulate the large cities and re populate the waste places was the prevailing sentiment. Vice-president Fairbanks, Senator Carter, Governor Mead, Governor Gooding, Governor Chamberlain and Judge Lowell were among tbe proml ent speakers of .the congress. B All phases of the irrigation question were ably discussed (and everyone went way feeling that it was good to be there. As to Southern Oregon, if we expect anything from tbe governmont, must come to the front and let tbe country know 'that" we are here While other sections' are advertising their potsihilitles, we mast do the tame. Our land and water are abundant and should no longer Idle. As Oregon pays more money into the'reolamation fond than any other state, I, would suggest that we knep this fact prominently before those who have control of this branch of public service. I woold abo suggest that" we systematize the irrigation plans now contemplated In this part of Oregon. Many of oor people fail to see the Immensity of whst is sorely within our reach. Increase the pro ductlte value of 60,000 acres of laud ten fold, and we hare an approximate of what this enterprise means. Very respectfully. STEPHEN JEWELL.
