THE WATERED LANDS.

sorve somo consideration. Tho area
under irrigation In our arid region 's
now about 15,000,000 acres. In sev
enteen years It has been doubled.
This watered land yields $200,000,000
worth of products every year. Water
Is available for tho irrigation of 40,
000,000 acres more. Sinco tho pas
sage of the Reclamation act, fourteen
years ago, the Federal Government
has expended more than $100,000,000
In Irrigation work. The money has
come from sales of public lands, and

The results of an Inquiry about It
rlgatlpn were published a few days
ago by a committee of tho Unlte-l
States Chamber of Commerce. All
agricultural products, the committee
says, can be grown more successfully
on Irrigated land than elsewhere, tho
average yield per acre exceeding that
of nonirrlgated farm areas by form
10 to GO per cent. There Is scarcely
any risk or loss. Crops are not ex

Sometime Ago, D. S. .Beals
president of the Springfield mu
nicipal band, made the state
ment that should a one half mill
tax levy for the support of the
band, which was presented to
the council, be refused, he -would
give up the organization for he
would not solicit donations from
the business men. On last
Monday evening, the ' council
considered the petition, and
found there was nothing to do
hut refuse it, since it was too
late to share in the general fund
and a special tax is not lawful.
Mr. Beals does not blame the
council. 'He;said: "The coun
cil stands back; of the band but
it was beyond it's power to levy
this tax4. It fully realizes the
benefits a town derives from a
band, and. we fully appreciate!
this feeling, and the fact that
it was powerless in the matter."

tions under which the organi
zation would continue:
"My idea is this. Those bus
iness men who refused to sign
the tax levy petition said they
would be willing to suport the
band, by monthly contributions.
If the business men really want
a band, they could form a Ways
and Means committee to col
lect voluntarily subscriptions
monthly among the business
men and others who are at all
interested in having a band..
"This would show the feeling
pf the town. The band boys
give their time and effort, and
they don't want to force some
thing on the town of Spring
field which Is not appreciated
nor wanted,
"We don't feel, that it is en
tirely up to the business men,
either. Other townspeople who
enjoy the music should not hes
itate to do their little toward
the support of the organization.
We should be especially encou
raged, if people would come out
to the concerts.
"The band is willing at all
times to serve the business men
free, in the matter of playing on
Saturday evening to attract Cho
ppers while the stores are open,
and in serving on bargain days
and other special occasions. At
a recent band meeting, the sen
timent was expressed that the
band would be willing to march
down Main street playing on
Saturday evenings to draw
crowds to the stores.
"If we could be assured of our
ordinary running expenses be
ing taken care of by subscrip
tion, w'o wouid endeavor to
