THE NATION AL" ""iRR?GATION CON?
GRESS.
The last meeting cf the congress
showed a iine grasp of the work to bc
done. The need of tree planting and the
bearing of irrigation on the problem of
the unemployed are living questions.
Let every man, woman andf child ob?
serve Arbor day. The young man need
not go west any longer, but should put
out trees and reclaim waste land.
Among other things, the following was
said at the congress :
The work laid out by the executive
committee for 1896 had not been fully
accomplished, nor was it as satisfactory
to the members as it would have been
if they had not been handicapped in
many ways in its advancement. .Nearly
every senator and representative in con?
gress had b^en written to and explicitly
told what was desired, and their co-op?
eration was asked. A very strong senti?
ment in favor of irrigation had teen
fcund. The press had given valuable
assistance to the cause, and the railroads
have shown no lack of interest in the
work, many of the officials of the rail?
roads having given personal attention
to the work in several ways that had
been productive of great good.
Surprising as it may seem to you of
the west, the east and south are waking
np to the necessity of irrigation even in
their own sections, and in many places
are experimenting in irrigation for the
purpose of making surer and larger
crops, which they know will always in?
crease the value of their land. From this
source we have been encouraged. Not
the least interested in this work are the
water and land companies and emigrant
and provident associations. The latter,
working in conjunction with the former,
will one day solve the great national*
question, What shall we do with the
i? unemployed? which is answered by the
utilization of the vast lands by irriga?
tion for the colonization of these people.
The congress should do something be?
sides making speeches. It should legis?
late, pass a bill or bills embodying the
issues it has for years been presenting
ii to the people. The country in general
was demanding something feasible,
practicable and tangible. They could
not at first expect or even think what
they did would be perfect. Time aud
j experience would reveal the imperfec
, tions and give ample time to perfect
them. A bill or bills^creating a national
irrigation commission and a national
forestry commission should be passed.
The duty of the irrigation commission
. should be to look after irrigation in its
every-shape and form in every state and
territory, to take charge of all irrigation
works and property and report directly
to congress or to the interior or agricul?
tural department the progress of irriga?
tion and make such suggestions as would
be for its further advancement until ev
' ery irrigable arid acre is subdued and
-the unemployed and homeless found
neace and plenty upon them.
The necessity for a forestry commis?
sion was as important to this country as
the forests, for without the former we
would soon have none of the latter.
Sooner or later we would not feel the
loss of forests in dollars and cents so
much ns we would in the use in con?
serving the waters fer irrigation.
The committee recommended action
Upon the following subjects in the form
cf bills for presentation at Washington :
Arid land policy.
- Interstate streams.
International streams.
The reclamation of arid and semiarid
lands.
Pastoral lands.
Irrigation surveys and appropriations

Reading Women Organize.
The women voters of Reading, Pa.,
met recently at the home of Mrs. Wil?
liam Carter, Woburn street, and formed

cers for the ensuing year were balloted
for, and the following were elected : Mrs.
George Bosson, permanent chairman;
Mrs. Warren E. Eaton, clerk; Mrs. S.
G. B. Pearson, treasurer. The society
then nominated Mrs. Ellen M. Bancroft
for member of the school committee
and recommended that Mrs. Gertrude
Hussey be nominated as a trustee of the
public library. Mrs. Warren Eaton was
chosen a committee cf one to confer
with the proper authorities in regard to
having a woman on the board cf over?
seer^ of the peer. lu conclusion, the so?
ciety earnestly recommend that every
woman in tcwu qualified to vote should
