These are the words of one of the ablest senators : a man who has been more or less in what was once laid down on our maps as the "Great American Desert" since his boyhood, and who has grown gray in the United States Senate. Reader. I have engaged with the Iride pendent, for most generous pay, to lay down the tools of husbandry here on my mountain ranch by the great Bay of San Francisco and make a long journey. Oreeon. Washington, Montana. Dakota. Colorado, these are some of the sections named in the contract, where I am to look closely at the progress of things and re port thereon in a brief, plain way, with a much greater regard for facts than nne writing. I am especially asked to look out for fair and safe investment for Eastern capital; to report on farming, stock-raising, milling, and most especially on land investment. You will bear with me then after this statement if 1 am sometimes a bit prosy and statistical and given over to quotations from senators, governors, and so on, as above. It is not always best to stand alone in our state ments or to leave off figures, which they say never He. And now to begin: I oacK to wnere i lett on when this paper sent me to Mexico three years ago. I must beg 3'ou to recall my account of the reservoirs for water there"; the thousand little artificial lakes that lie on the hot and glaring mountain sides and down in the deep valleys as you descend from the snowy heights of Zacatecas and the silver mines of Northern Mexico. Well, those little lakes have been there I hince time immemorial. The little Aztec. hollowed them out with his little wash bowl and small brown hands, just as his descendants build the beds of railroads to this day. For you must know that there has never been a wheel-barrow in all Mexico. The dirt is all scooped up by the hand and then' borne on the head in a little wooden bowl. But to get on with the subject in hand : I only wanted to recall the fact that it is by these little artificial lakes that Mexico lives. My last article on this theme was of a more recent date, and was called "The North American Nile." This has been translated into Spanish, and is made a text for quite a book on agriculture and irrigation in Mexico. You will please remember that I attempted to show by the ruined cities scattered along the banks of the Colorado and in other parts of Arizona, that this portion of our Republic hud once been and could again be, under American enterprise, all that the Nile has ever been in power and population. Bear with me further if I inform you that it was this same paper which secured to the "Great American Desert" an ap propriation of a quarter of a million of dollars at the last session of Congress for the survey of that vast region. And now let me recall the fact that I advise all who have pluck and ambition to try and get hold of land in Arizona, or elsewhere adjacent, where land could be bo had cheap, and I have done with looking back or speaking of myself. The 'contemplated trip will take in much of this section of country. And as I firmly believe with the Senator quoted from at the head of this article, that the "great desert," as it was once called, can be made green, why, this must be the place for investments where tremendous returns are to be had for a small outlay But the buyer of lands must now be careful not to purchase the site of a reser voir. It is not perhap8Ngenerally known that Congress, at the last session, reserve d all lands, in a very general way, that are suitable or necessary for reservoirs in the arid regions. We whirl along so fast and are doing so much that it is doubtful if one man in ten thousand is at all aware of this reservation. And indeed, I doubt if one man in ten thousand among us is aware that Major Powell, the head of topographical engineers for the United States, is at this moment at work survey mg the region described in the sketch called -The North American Nile." But it is a fact ; and it is a fact that a few far- seeing and very shrewd men are following his footsteps closely. Let me beg you, if you caie for the development of our country, to say nothing of your own future, to follow his reports closely. It would be a wise thing if some few shrewd men could "pool in" and keep one of their number with Major Powell in Ihe field. Information thus obtained would be of incalculable value to iuvestors. I was asked to be bresent a meeting of the prominent men west of the Rocky Mountains in San Francisco not long since, where this great question was to be discussed. President A. T. Hatch stated that Con gress had alread3r appropriated $350,000 for surveys, and that a committee of six, of which Senator Stewart was one, would meet in St Paul on August 1st, and thence proceed to Nevada and Colorado to deter mine what future steps would be advis able. Senator Stanford was called upon to speak. Said he : "On the question of the value of irri gation, there can be no two opinions. The irrigation belt extends from the Rio Grande to the British line, and covers an area of about 1,200 square miles. I was very much impressed when at San Diego not long ago to see what they had don e there. Their reservoir cost but $200,000, and yet the water stored in it will irrigate more than 40,000 acres. The people there have let new light on the subject. I know of my own knowledge of places in Nevada where water could be stored to irrigate millions of acres. At one point on the Humboldt water could be stored to irrigate a strip five miles wide and per haps in all containing not less than 1,000,000 acres. 'There must be an entire revolution of opinion in the East regarding our lands. There are large areas where a chipmunk could not live. Surveys must be made, and whenever the land is redeemed, poor men can go and make farms. As the arid belt is now it is practically valueless. The arid region of the country is more than equal to all the country east of Chicago. The homes that may be made in it after a wise system of irriga tiou are impossible to estimate. Billions of dollars should not stop us at all from doing whatever is necessary. The State Board of Trade, and thosi who have been invited to meet you here, are on the most important question that has ever been considered. I would like to seo you follow it up and get the East out of its old rectangular ruts." Here we have the ablest financier in the United States, a ipan of senatorial dignity, a man who lately gave twenty million dollars to the endowment of a university, telling us tbatc -billions of dollars1 exp enditure sb ould not deter us from redeeming the arid lands of Middle America. Take a map and; .you will see that his assertion abotrt-,the area being larger than all that portion of the United States east of Chicago-, is strictly within the lines of actual measurement. It is enough to take one's' breath away, the magnitude of this proposition! It is of far more importance to; the world than was the discovery of gold'ln California. The opportunities to make great and sudden fortunes are greater, and surely they are far more certain.. For who ever ins money ov would be from $5 to $10 an acre. Cer tainly it would not be over one-tenth as much as to clear land of timber: and there is another thing about it. An irrigated acre of land is worth double what an acre is that has to depend on rainfall. Most people who have given the matter atten tion say my estimate is too low, and that an irrigated acre is worth two or three of those forced to depend on rainfall "In found Egypt curious things have been A defile going out of the Nile digging has been heard of any man loseing, li putting it In land? -u Therefore 1 sound it out over me union as sounding a trumpet; 'Get land ! Get land! Get land! Get land. in the "Great American Desert," and never let go ono handful of sand till it has turned to gold . You ask, Why this sadden action of Congress and this impeitfous interest out here in this vast enterprise? . The answer is easy. India ! If you look at the wheal crop of India you can read the whole .story. India is feeding the world witti'bread-. And God bless her for that; but it has called America to the front in competition And America cannot compete till she does what India has done and is steadily doing. And it is all enxressed in the question at the head of this article, in the one word, irrigation ! When we came out here and conquered all this Southwest world from Mexico, wo found they had water over the land, and in this way obtained tremendous results with but little labor. But 7d you Know we despised all that? Why, I 'veu re member hearing a preaqher preach with all his might against it. His text "was to the effect that we shall letjGod send rain that "He sendeth his rain,? ;ctc:., etc. Well, when England, overran India, coming from hermurkv ahd misty Isles, she could not comprehend4the motive of pouring the waters on thp &il by canals any more tnan we, wnen we came oui here. And so India kept sliding uncK and sinking down year after; year, with now and then a dreadful fa mine. At last she took to irrigation. Let me give a part of the report from a single district for last year: "Any more striking illustration ni wie social and fiscal value of canals could not be civen. and its force is p.nfein'i'U so fur as the state is concerned, by the fact that the entire cost of the worksViiot including ordinary repairs and establishment) on the canals west of the Jumfla, up to the present time, amounts ony to 119.474, so that the returns of the year 1887-8 in land and water rent have covered the whole expenditure, leaving a surplus of I nearly 26,800 from thbj'sqnrce alone." Here we have the whole:th!ng in a nut shell. Only India has about live year the start. "But the Yankee is now well awake, and he may yet overtake the Englishman. "Billions of dollars," says Senator Stan ford, must not deter "us from this stupendous work. For my own part, I can only call upon every member of Congress not to cripple us by scant appropriations. If "need be let these "desert lands" be doubled or quadrupled even in price to pay for what the English in India call "canals." Only let us not be far behind. To the Indiana American let me again say, Get land ! get land ! get laud ! GVt a great deal of land if you can, and then cut it up into colonies, as tunny good men have done out here in California. I shall visit some of these fortunate colonies, and shall see their life blood, the "'canal" next week, and shall write you down the details so that you may see J he future and the power that lies in store for any man wise enough to get a grod share of desert land and divide it among his fellows. I will now close this sketch by an extract from the speech of Senator Stewart.'of Nebraska, before the Califor nia Board of Trade last week. Said Senator Stewart: "My plan is to first get the surveys and then an appropriation each year for all that we can. Wo are now allowed reser voir right. We ought to have had them connects with a great basin, and into the defile a great dike discovered. Thousands of conduits made of masonry have -been found that are perfect to-day. Remains of hydraulic works have also been found in South America that people in after centuries did not know how to build. "I did not think irrigation injures health or produces malaria. I think it is beneficial if property done. Look at the island of Ceylon. Look at India. With their mighty population they can't be very unhealthy countries. Look also at the valley of the Nile, where irrigation is the rule. "Of course you take any new country, where you first turn up the soil, and you will have malaria; but remember that two-thirds of all our agriculture, but now and for all time past, has been carried on by irrigation. Nobody has understood that agriculture was unhealthy. "Rainfall bleaches the land too much . That's what is the matter with a vast area from Baltimore to the Gulf "Everybody is astonished over in Nevada and in Southern California, to s:e what the sage brush land will produce. It is stronger laud . It hasn't been bleached. It is the best kind of land there is. Take a look at Lombardy, in Italy l:ere they haveb:cn irrigating for 2,000 years. Take Spain. In both the richness of the soil is preserved, and the public hpalth is as good as it is possible to bp under any con dition. Edgland now proposes to irrigate two-thirds of Egypt. The people of the United States are destined to lead the j world in irrigation.. .tvijui J filler in j 1 lie independent. ew Goods Affp sf friees AT THE NEW STORE. RENNIE'S GREAT FALL SALE.

We need irrigation as far east as the ninety-eighth or ninety ninth meridian, and from that to the Pacific Ocean, with a little exception. Few people know that at least two-thirds of the agriculture of the globe is by irrigation . "It is not really as hard to overcome the deserts as the forests, but this fact is entirely new to the people of the East. I wouldn't make the estimate now of what it will cost to do the work we want done. It will take more than 4,000,000, and probably more than $10,000,000. All that can be done with the $250,000 appropriat ted recently is to survey a few initial points. We will get more appropriations each year hereafter. Major Powell thinks Truqkee is a good point to begin with. "One thiug we want to do, is to show this committee what irrigation has done Another is to show that irrigation does not cause a monopoly of lands When we have the surveys and estimates made, and land still remains untaken, we can then put the lands on sale in a body if need be. I believe California is capable of supporting 40,000,000, and I believe that eighty or ninety per cent, of our water is going to waste. Colorado has led off and done better than any other state." Senator Stewart then turned his atten tion to other countries and, reading from a report of British India, he co'ntiuued: "British India only has 8o0,000 square miles, while, it has a population of 250, 000.000. We have 3,000,000 square miles and ought to support easily 200,000,000 people. There is no such a body of land in the world as that of the Mississippi basin that will produce crops without irrigation. "The trouble is that neither we nor our English ancestors have been accustomed to irrigation. In India about $1,000,000,- 000 have been spent on railroads and irrigation in the last thirty years. "Let us get the surveys, and make it possible for the people to get the titles. Then we will move along. Forty acres of irrigated land is as safe for a family as lou acres depending on rainfall." senator & tan lord here asked Senator Stewart if he had investigated the relative cost of clearing and irrigating land . "It is a most important matter," abided Sen ator Stanford. to know iust what the difference in cost, is." "I was up in Washington Territory a year ago responded Senator Stewart, and asked what jt would cost to clear the timber land there, and nobody put it at less than $100 an acre.
