coat called a ''Great
Coat" by the makers, Hart,
Schaffner & Marx. When
you see it, that's what you'll
call it you'll say—"This is
certainly a gr§at." It is in
fact, as well as in name, big,
roomy, double-breasted for
wintry days and nights—a
great coat. More style than
an ulster. Better see the
great coat—it's great.

1903."
The secretary
says that so far as can be foreseen
at present no further lesrislation is, re
quired, the present law having been
found sufficient to accomplish its pur
pose.
The report shows that while exam
inations and surveys have been made
in all sections of the arid region, Ne
vada is the only state where actual
construction has begun, and Arigona
is the only territory. In other states
and territories plans and specifications
are in various stages of progress and
thfe work is being pusheaL
'The irrigation fund, accumulated
from the sale of public lands in the
thirteen states and three territories to
which the irrigation act applies, now
amounts to a total of
$16,591,836.
This
fund has been accumulatingii? the treas
ury since
1901.
The question of drilling artesian wells
has been one of considerable comment
in view of the fact that many persons
have importuned for such work simply,
says the report, t6 develop the mineral
resources beneath the surface. A rul
ing precluding such experiments has
been made on the ground that informa
tion "possessed by the geological survey
on the subject does not warrant the ex
penditure of the irrigation fund for that
purpose.
Large areas of the public lands have
been withdrawn from entry under the
act pending further development. Con
tracts have been let for three sections
of the work on the Truckee canal in
Nevada and also on the Salt River dam
in Arizona. The policy has been, the

In many states radical changes in
the water right laws will have to be
made before irrigation projects can be
undertaken under the act. Nevada has
already changed her laws in conform
