Excerpt from The Irrigation Age, Vol. 22 With this issue The Irrigation Age begins its twenty-second year. While irrigation, per se, is as old as civilization itself, little had been done in the United States to reclaim any arid or semi-arid lands by means of irrigation at the time the first number of this journal was published. Indeed, very few had any adequate conception of what could be done in the way of reclaiming waste lands. Some learned men in those days scoffed at the idea of any one even being able to make anything grow in the wild lands of the West. Hardly more than half a century ago no less a personage than Daniel Webster, who was then Secretary of State, when asked to favor a small appropriation for the purpose of sending an expedition to explore the western country, balanced a 2-cent piece on the end of his forefinger and gravely announced that he would not exchange the coin for all the territory lying west of the Rocky mountains! This incident is recited at this time so that the reader today can understand something of the amazing indifference and lack of information that has stood like a Chinese wall between the people and their just rights, keeping them away from a rich heritage to which they were justly entitled. It was against this great wall that The Irrigation Age directed its batteries more than a score of years ago. One after another of the towering barriers have crumbled before the steady and well directed fire, until today scarcely a vestige of the wall remains. The struggle was long and strenuous - but now the people are coming into their own - they are beginning to reap the fruits of victory. The Reclamation Act has now been in operation over a period of four years, and thousands of acres of waste lands have already been reclaimed - and the good work has just begun! In this connection it should be noted that manufacturers are beginning to appreciate the good work of The Irrigation Age. Every acre of land reclaimed by means of irrigation spells a larger demand for everything used on the farm. We take no little pride in our achievements during the last twenty-one years, and we hope to do even more in the years to come. William E. Smythe, one of the founders of the paper, is still actively engaged in literary work, and while no longer connected with this publication, is doing much toward stimulating interest in irrigation development; and to his early efforts may be attributed much of the success which has been attained through the passage of the Reclamation Law. Numerous other men have been prominent in irrigation work, and, unfortunately for the cause, many unscrupulous individuals have derived personal benefits to which they were not entitled - but to the great number of early workers who spent so much energy and valuable time without receiving or expecting anything in return, the Age extends greeting and good wishes on this its 22d birthday. Some of those who did valiant work have passed away, and are not permitted to see the results of their labors; while others, like Newell, Shurtliff, John Henry Smith, Mead, Knight, Keisel, Graves, Johnson, Jaycox, Carpenter, Frost, Moses, Murphy, Fortier and many others are more or less active and doing splendid work in promoting the best interests of irrigation - to these and to the whole company of loyal workers the Age extends greeting. The Bureau of Forestry at Washington, D. C., announces that the bill providing for settlement on agricultural lands embraced in forest reservations has been signed by the President and is now effective. This law will throw open for settlement thousands of acres of fertile lands. Following are the more important provisions of the new law: "Only lands valuable for agricultural purposes and not needed for administrative purposes by the forest service or for some other public use will be classified and listed under this bill. Land covered with a merchantable growth of timber will not be ...

Excerpt from The Irrigation Age, Vol. 13 In View of the wide-spread suspicion of American investments, it was not surprising that the Rio Grand Dam Irrigation Company signally failed to place its bonds. But the directors continued to per severe iu their efforts to carry out the objects of the company, being assured of the unanimous support of the land owners in the valley, and realizing that unless early steps are taken to impound the flood waters of the Grande, the farming interests would for the most part speedily fall into desuetude, Finding that in the state of the money market it would be impossible to place the shares and bonds of the American company, and being advised that investors abroad would be more likely to entrust their money to an English company, managed by a Board of Directors of high rank and standing, responsible to the shareholders under English law. It was decided to raise the capital necessary for the proposed irrigation works by leasing to an English company, to be incorporated under the laws of England, the American company's franchise rights, privileges and undertakings. The best legal advice obtainable was taken as to 'the legality of the American company's rights, and upon' being satisfied that a lease giving control only of the American com pany's property could not be construed by the most violent jingo of the anti-english party as constituting the holding of real estate, or as being in any way a violation of the Alien Act, the English company was incorporated. A Board of Directors consisting of gentlemen of exceptionally high standing was, with great difficulty, formed, capital was under written, and shares and debentures of the English company were issued to the public. Capital was underwritten and subscribed largely upon the strength, high rank and representative character of the Board of Directors, and in the course of a few weeks after the issue of the prospectus, the chairman visited the Rio Grande Valley on be half of the company. Upon being satisfied by the company's legal advisers that the American company's titles were unassailable, and English company's lease legal, arrangements were made for the con struction of the proposed irrigation works. It was never for a mo ment considered possible that American state officials could be capable of secretly plotting to invalidate the valuable rights legally conceded by a previous administration.

Excerpt from The Irrigation Age, Vol. 1 SO far as past time is concerned, the resolution does not cover the facts, unless in a technical sense. The Officers Of the National Irrigation Association were for several years in practical control of the National Irriga tion Congress, and the connection was one of substance if not of form. The connection proved anything but fortunate for the Irrigation Congress. The National Irrigation Association has been made up of men who had personal rather than public interests to serve. It was developed during Congressional hearings that this association was receiving a subsidy of a year from certain corporations, and it was plain that the usefulness of the National Irrigation Congress must come to an end if such influences were allowed to con trol it. They are not now in control, and we trust that they never will be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Irrigation Age, Vol. 7: July December, 1894 Scrip in their minds the problem of how to open the arid public domain to labor and subsequently to settlement. Here comes the Seattle Telegrap/z with a new plan. It says, and very truly, too, that relief must be provided by the government when emergencies occur by reason of a vast number of people being unemployed is the lesson of history. It cites the policy of the Pharaohs, who put the idle Israelites at work on pyramids, canals, temples and palaces; of the Roman emperors, who employed their subjects upon great roads; of the ancient Danish kings, who built a wall across their kingdom; of the Peruvians, who also built roads. And then the Telegraph presents its plan for the present crisis as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
