Read what a Fargo citizen says:
Mr. Joseph Nelson of Front Street
East says: "I know what it is to have'
kidney disorder. I had pain in my back
continually and when I attempted to
get up from a chair I had to put my
hands on both sides of my back. The
action of the kidney secretions was ir
regular and there seemed to be a reten
tion accompanied by distress. I ob
tained Doan's Kidney Pills at Wilser's
Pharmacy and they accomplished com
plete work in my case. My back had
110 more pain. I could jump up from
sitting and go about my business, the
retentions and distress which accom
panied the action of the kidneys were
things of the past, and my kidneys
worked as freely and naturally as one
could wish."

IRRIGATION
A Great and Momentous Question Be
the People of North Dakota
for Solution.
i» -Fewy# N. .1?,,
The Forum: A few days ago I noticed
in the press that you desired to secure
all attainable facts relating to irriga
tion as it appertains to North Dakota,
that th'e same may be used at Washing
ton in behalf of such developments in
our state.
For over a dozen years this question
received my thoughtful study and earn
est consideration, and I presented my
views and conclusions, together with
much Valuable data touching the sub
ject, in my yearly reports and in press
articled as well, and much that I thus
offered, I cannot but believe, is worthy
of considerable attention. Therefore I
take the liberty to send you by this
mail under another cover, two copies
of my reports relating to this matter
now under deliberation.
I wis a pioneer in the work of prov
ing the practical advantages of the use
of water in connection with agricul
tural and forestal developments, in
North Dakota and throughout the
union and other nations of the globe.
I left unsaid many things which occu
pied my mind of weighty importance
which pertained to the question be
cause of limitation as to the size of my
annual reports.
And here allow me to digress a little
and siy: The Forum, ever alive to the
best concern of the masses and the
true progress of the state, always wel
comed to its columns my array of facts
and vindication of the economic fea
tures and principles involved in or re
lating to the subject of irrigation and
forestry. Although I am busy looking
after my farm affairs and in preparing
exhibits for the St. Louis World's
Fair, I retain the deepest interest in
these two momentous problems, the
solutibn of which, I am constrained to
affirm^ is destined, in. due time, to
receive the most thoughtful investiga
tion and encouragement from the exe
cutives, legislators, leaders of thought,
editor^ and the people at large, for
through their wise and intelligent un
foldment our state will secure its high
est state of material growth and the
largest population and its citizens be in
a position to make the greatest strides
in intelligence, affluence and wealth,
throiigh the possesiosn of which may
be fotind the fullest measure of con
tentnient, peace and happiness.
Th|re have beeri many important

'W'fc
the statute books, thus, for the first
time in the history of our nation, lay
ing (lie foundation for an intelligent
and practical national forestry system,
which is fast becoming, as it should
one of the chief and most essential
agents and powers in the advancement
and perpetuation of the union.
And the comprehensive act of Mr.
Hansbrough, dating the beginning of
a new era in agricultural development
along economic lines, consisting in
originating in porrelation with other
wise legislators, and securing the pas
sage of which is known as the new
land laws in the interest of irrigation
whereby the national government be
came committed to the development
of its arid and semi-arid lands through
the use of water as a prime factor in
agricultural persuits, thus opening the
way for a new and vast domain of
civilization in the barren sandy waste
of the west. Should not all persons
feel profoundly grateful to Mr. Hans
brough and his North Dakota col
leagues whose sagacity and persistent
efforts were the chief elements involv
ed in procuring the passage through
congress of these salutary statutes, all
for the best and lasting welfare of the
masses, the states and the nation?
A most momentous and vitally' im
portant issue or problem is now be
fore our state. There are millions of
dollars at the disposal of North Dako
ta for irrigation developments. The
altitude and contour of much of the
lands wxst of the* Missouri River,
where tnis system is most needed, are
such that irrigation, as a rule, can be
easily and successfully applied, hence
the 'most vital question Is the procure
ment of a sufficient amount of water
for the end in view. The underground
waters of bur state—the artesian and
the phreatic—are immense in volume
and extent, but it. is probable that a
great or the main effort of the public
men of North Dakota will be to find
and secure what may be needed in the
way of surface water. By dams and
empounding reservoirs, cannot a
sufficiency of water be secured from
the spring freshets and natural normal
flow of the. Yellowstone, the Little Mis
souri and the Missouri and its tribu
taries in North Dakota and the Mouse
and other rivers near or within our
state? Through the efforts of compe
tent engineers and a thorough scienti
fic investigation of all places of this
spacific and important qeustion a full
and complete answer can be obtained.
Yours in behalf of irrigation and
forestry. W. W. Barrett,.,
