MAXWELL ON IRRIGATION.
Says Thnt I.ast Week's Congress Helped
Now Projects Immensely.
CHICAQO. Nov. 27. Tho delegates
to tho ninth- annual convention of tho
National Irrigation congress, which
closed hero last Saturdny, unanimous
ly declared that greater lntorcst In tho
irrigation of tho arid lands oi uio
United States had beon aroused by this
convention than any previously hold.
"Wo bellovo that tho Chicago con
vention of tho National IrrlgnWon con
gress has accomplished a great object,"
said Georgo II. Maxwell, chairman of
tho executive committee "It has
placed beforo tho peoplo of tho United
States the Importance of tho problem
of tho national irrigation nnd haB par
ticularly brought it to tho attention of
tho people of tho cast in a manner not
otherwise possible A genuine Interest
In tho subject seems to havo boon
nwakoned. So much good would re
sult from tho carrying out of tho pol
icy by tho national govornmont and re
sult In ns many different ways that
people who havo no interest in irriga
tion Itself aro bolng attracted to tho
Idea.
"It would accomplish tho coloniza
tion of tho west and tho creation of a
great markot for manufacturing. It
would result In tho employment of la
bor, tho development of mining, in as
sistance to navigation, In tho preven
tion of floods nnd In rollef for tho con
gested condition of our cltlcB In sup
plying material for thousands of small
rural homes.
"La3t year," continued Mr. Maxwell,
"Chicago wa3 flxed upon as tho meet
ing plnco for this year s congress and
work was at onco begun by tho Na
tional Irrigation association to bring
tho subject beforo tho peoplo of tho
cast through tholr commercial organi
zations. Tho morchnnts of Los Angeles
began tho work by correspondence
with several thousand of tho enstorn
merchants and manufacturers who find
a mnrket for their goods In that city,
a city which such a magnificent object
lesson of tho marvelous transformation
that water will work In tho west The
morchnnts of St. Paul and Omaha next
took up tho work of organization
through similar correspondence and
finally a largo number of merchants
and manufacturers of Chicago extend
ed to tho movoment tholr strong Influ
ence and support and likewise took up
tho mattor by correspondence with
other castorn merchants and manufac
turers. As a result of this work tho
membership of tho National Irrigation
now comprises nenrly 1,000 of the lead
ing mercantile firms nnd manufactur
ing concerns of tho United States ifnd
1,ao a membership extending from Cal
Ifornla to Maine nnd from Minnesota,
to Texas. Agricultural, commercial,
horticultural and labor organizations
from ono ond of tho country to tho
other hnvo strongly ondorsod tho Irri
gation movomont by resolutions and
given to It their earnest aid and co
operation."
"Havo not tho eastern people, how-
ovor, been Inclined to consider tho
proposition wholy a western question?"
ho was asked.
"Wo havo heard much of eastern op
position," said Mr. Maxwell, "but havo
yet to find a tunglo castorn business
man not in hearty accord with the
movement ns soon ns it was explained
to him. Tho nctlvo co-oporatlon of tho
labor organizations bears this out. Tho
movement has finally crystallzed Into
a sentiment which Is essentially na
tional In Its broadcBt sonso nnd tho or
gnnlzntloiiB that aro now enlisting in
the national Irrigation movement aro
not promoting It from any local or scc-
tlonnl point of view, but from a con
viction that tho plnntlng of American
civilization and the building of homes
for 50,000,000 new citizens under the
American flag In places which aro now
wnsto nnd dcsolnto is n national pur
poso which demands support from
ovory section of tho country, becauso
tho far-ronchlng and widespread bene-
froin tho reclamation of this vast
amount of virgin territory would cre-
nto a nntlonnl prosperity In which nil
