A FEATURE OF IKniCATION POLICY.
From the Los Angeles Times, June 11.)
In discussing the question of irrigat
ing the arid lands of the West, which
question has corn's prominently to tho
front during' the past few years, the

and TV
ideated.
poH.-y h
encigclia aui euierpiiu; liuvcruor of
Arizona. ' We have taken strong
ground against such policy, which we
believe would prove disastrous to those
who are looking for homes in the
West, although it would doubtless
serve to enrich a few speculators. As
showing the clacgtr of entrusting the
handling of such public plunder to
State Legislatures, it is only neces
sary to point to the personnel and
record of the recent. California body.
What sort of a chance would the peo
ple have had, if to that Legislature
had been entrusted tho disposition of
the Government laud in California
no matter what nominal restrictions
might have been provided for?
AS ISCOJtKECT ETATKMENT.
At the close of the recent Trans
Mississippi Congress, in Wichita, a dis
patch was sent out and published by
the press throughout the country, to
the effect that Gov. Murphy had won a
victory, and eariied his point in secur
ing a resolution favoring the cession of
arid lands to the States and Territories.
The resolutions of the Trans-Mississippi
Congress and the record of its
proceedings, as published in the
Wichita local papers, do not bear out
this press dispatch, that
"The action taken had been in the
nature of a compromise in committee,
rather more favorable to the out-and-out
cession of arid lands to the States
than to the construction of storage
reservoirs by Federal aid, for which
$200,000,000 was asked. Previous state
ments that the resolution passed was
an orifnallfie indorsement cf the
storage reservoir plan ars too sweeping-"
As we read tU resolutions, ii would
be hard to unierslaad bow the? could
1 made any more sweeping iu favor
of Federal fctorajre reservoirs. The
Traill M ljL:i ; 1 iKi'm'ss 'nl W '-. l:i
iouoiboi au uiV,M.a iu Iu., Mum ur j t tuo arid regions and the great pros
word, the tesolution of the National j perity that would Cow from it to nil
Irrigation Congress, which was as fol
lows:
"We favor the preservation and de
velopment of our national resources by
the construction of storuge reservoirs
by the Federal Government, for Good
protection, and to save for use in aid of
navigation .and irrigation the flood
waters which now run to waste and
cause overflow and destruction, as re
commended in the report of Col.
iiiram M. Chittenden, and we urge the
adoption of the recommendations ot
this report as to the construction of
storage reservoirs in the arid regions
as a part of the national policy of in
ternal improvements."
In substance, as shown by the Irriga
tion Congress resolutions, indorsed and
adopted by the Trans-Mississippi Con
gress at Wichita, the policy on which
those two Congresses have united is
that the Federal Government should
build storage reservoirs as internal im
provements; that the States should be
empowered to lease all the grazing
lands and collect the revenues and ex
pend thetn in the construction of State
irrigation works, leaving the title in
the federal Government until actual
settlement; that whatever necessary
the Federal Government should build
the irrigation works to reclaim the
arid public lands, and favoring State
eesMon j
"Ouly upon conditions tti iet that :
they will insure the vHlttiPont of such ,
lands by actual settlers in mu:i1I tracts i
ar.n a'jsobiteiy prevent their i!.i:w;- ;
uir in larjr bodiis under private:
ownership."
conditions was passed by the Phoenix
session of the Irrigation Congress, and
again passed at the Cheyenne session
last September, and introduced in the
Trans-Mississippi Congress at Wichita
by George H. Maxwell, of California,
with the other Irrigation Congress res
olutions. eov. murphy's resolution defeated.
Gov. Murphy, of Arizona, Introduced
the following resolution :
"Resolved, That the General Govern
ment should by Congressional act re
linquish, jurisdiction and ownership of
the arid lands, and cede them to the
States and Territories wherein they
are situated, and this Congress requests
the Congress of the United States to
pass the proper act ceding the arid
lands to the States and. Territories in
which they lie."
This resolution was not adopted, but
the resolution of the Irrigation Con-
gress,. as to cession, under stringent,
restrictions and conditions, introduced
by Mr. Maxwell, was adopted, with
out the change of a word, by tho
Trans-Mississippi Congress, and the
dispatch above referred to 13 mani
festly erroneous when St states that
"he result was conceded to be a virtual
victory for Gov. Murphy."
: The contest in tho Trans-Mississippi
Congress was squarely inade.and fought
out to the end between those advocat
ing absolute State cession, led by Gov
Murphy, on the one hand, and those
ttdvoeatiug the policy of tho Irrigation
i-'Hij-i c-s as a whole, led by t.-eorge II.
Maxwell,, who was suprin-u-'l by such
leading members of the Irrigation Con
gress as I. I. O'Pomiell f Montana,
chairman of the Kxei-utive Committee;
Lj W . Siuirtk-ff, of O.Td'.-n, ! tub ; Col.
IL 15. Missrn, of Nevada; K. W. Tan
bil'.j o New Mexico; 'i'uuaj Kaiglit,
of Kansas City, and others.
THEY SIAKD SIDE BY SIDE.
Thcra could be no more positive
j evidence of the complete success of
I those who fought to bring about this
! complete harmony between the Irriga-
tion Congress and the Trans-Mississippi
Congress than the fact that the
latter adopted the Irrigation Congress
resolutioD with the following pre
amble: "Resolved, That the Trans-Mississippi
Comiaereial Congress indorse the
following resolutions which embody
the restdr.tions and policy advocated
by the Na'-ionul Irrigation Congress as
to a national and State irrigation policy
for the reclamation of avid America."
Here, asain, the falsity of the dis
patch referred to 'above crops out.
The dispatch says "this fight was the
feature of the congress, as it indicated
the growing divergence in interest be
tween the Trans-Mississippi Congress
and the National Irrigation Congress."
. There could have been at this ses
sion no- mora complete and perfect
"convergenee" than that which has
taken place. The two congresses have
come together entirely, and are in per
fect harmoay. On this fact the people
of the West are to be congratulated.
ARIZONA MOST BESEF1TED.
The statement in the dispatch that
$230,000,000 was asked for is on its
face a manifest misstatement. Uo
such sara was or is asked for. It is
apparent that the dispatch was not
Bent out from WViiita without a pur
pose, and that thoi who, like Gov.
Miu-p'iy, .still advecate the policy of
absolute State cession, are the most
-ocrious obbtae'es iu the way of the
ndiptniu of the broad policy of the
Irrigation C.-mirress tho reclamation
sections of the West and toal branches
of business throcgliout the United
States. Arizona has more to gain from
the adoption of the Irrigation Con
gress policy than any other State or
Territory. The inauguration would
start a tide of immigration into that
Territory which would transform its
deserts into fertile fields, and make it
a populous and prosperous State in
less than ten years. Every Western
State and Territory, particularly Ari
zona, should stand by the Irrigation
Congress and its wise policy.

DROPPED FROf.f WEST POINT.
Eight Cadets Are Found Deficient Includ

From the Tucson Citizea.
The opinion prevals that, Arizina did
not receive iust treatment in regard to
the appointment of cadets to the West
Point Military academy, not that the
methods of examination are not suffi
ciently rigid or that any partiality is
shown bv ths esainiain ' loard, b.it it'

Arizona was not in aesord wit a rules
and regulations giviug to states and
territories a fair quota of representation
at the military school, the eo-.tention
tieing that Richard I". Williams v. as
not a citizen of the Territory, and
therefore had no rights above any of
the young men who had grownup with
us.
However, there may yet be a chanee
to rectify this wrong, as a West Point
dispatch of June 9 has this to say in re
gard to the cadets: "The following
cadets from the fourth clas3 have been
found deficient and were discharged
from the Military Academy: E. F.
Fryer, New Jersey ; George Mason Lee,
Virginia;?. A.-Dinsraore, Michigan ; II.
F. Strong, Massachusetts ; Carl Body,
Georgia ; R. Richard P. Williams, Ari
zona; William H. Horton, Tennessee;
J. F. Franklin, Tennessee.
"Geo. Mason Lee is a sin of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee and was previously dis
qualified after being found deficient in
drawing. Williams is a son the late
General Williams who died recently in
Havana.
Secretary Jettsays that the principal
recommendations to be contained in

Whatever may be tnougnt in regard
to some of the details of British rule
iu the Orient, there can be' no ques
tion that the lot of those Asiatics who
live under the British flag is immeas
urably superior to what it was for cen
turies previous, when they were the
constant prey of ruthless invaders.
In no direction has the beneficence of
English rule been more clearly shown
than in the construction of great
cunals and storage reservoirs in India
by which means millions of lives have
been saved during the the past decade.
A work of this kind is about to be
undertaken by the British in Egypt
which will throw in the shade aU sim
ilar achievements heretofore under
taken. This enterprise is of special
interest to the United States just now
when we are beginning to seriously
discuss the question of Federal irriga
tion for the great arid regions of the
West. The enterprise referred to was;
recently inaugurated by the Duke of
Couuaught, who laid' the foundation of
an immense dauv across the Nile, the.
object of which is to hold back the
waters of the river, aud so create a
vast artificial lake, for the purpose of
irrigation. This work rivals iu mag
nitude those great achievements of
antiquity, the pyrauiiUs, near which ii'
is located. How much it is expected
to accomplish may be seen from the
statement that at present nine-tenths'
of the Nile and its priceless sediment'
are poured into the Mediterranean.
The plan includes the construction
of a huge wall of grauite, a mile and
a quarter in length, which is in places
seventy-six feet high and thirty or
forty feet wide. This will bo the
largest &m in" the world. It will force
back the waters of the Nile until there
is formed a reservoir some 670 square
miles in area, which it is estimated'
will contain 1,000,000,000 tons of water. '
3y means of this vast lake of Nile
water, it is computed that not less
than 2500 square miles of desert land
will be rescued from arid waste.
The British have been very liberal
with Egypt in the terms of payment
for thisjrreat improvement. Kfypt is
not to pay a cent until the dam and
canals are completed, when she will
pay f 833,330 per year for thirty years-,
a'total oblrgation of $25,000,000 for an
improvement that is e.stiuiited to bs
worth at least $400,000,0 (.
The Nile is to Egypt what the 'if2
blood is to the human body. . It is said
that if a single season passes ia which
a tract of land fails tc receive, its an
nual inundation from the Nile, it
takes three years of flood to make n
for the omission. '
In addition to providing an enor
mous amount of water for irrigation, '
and a ho'H brUlge over the river, it
U proposed to utilize the fall from the
iio-'.i! of tiie to develop a powerful
founc of tk'etrica! energy;
Tnis great irrigation project will, '
doubtless, be followed by. others of a
similar kind, not only in Northeast
Africa, but ia South Africa also, and in.
Australia, where disastrous drocghU
frequently cause enormous losses, '
while at the same time, during the
flood season, a vast amount of water
goes to waste in the ocean. If tho
British government can afford to un
dertake such work as this for the bene
fit of its half-civilized colonists, surely
this great republic should not be
afraid to undertake similar work, ia .
order to provide homes for millions of "
its land-hungry citizens, andst the
same time protect a large amount of
thickly-settled territory along th
great water courses from damaging-'
floods.
It can't be so very warm at Yuma. '
A county official from there yesterday
said that he was amazed at the great
quantity of ice consumed at the court '
house here, about 200 pounds daily. '
There is delivered at the Yuma coun
ty court house every day tea
pounds. When it is subdivided and 1
distributed among the various offices
each one gets only a cold, damp spot.

Wo hai,e 6tou nothing to indicate
just what provisions Gov. Murphy will
put into his proposed bill for ceding
the arid land to Arizona, but it will no '
doubt provide for a land commission"
that will be as easily handled by the "
