Lane 'r the Interior department.
Governors state engineers federal
officials and backers of reclamation
schemes gathered In a public land

finding and removing the nialadyl
with which western irrigation Is said
to be nffiieted Financial' malnutri-

FtnanHal Conditions.
Beginning with Assistant Secretary
A.' A. Jones of the Interior depart-
ment speaker after speaker told tbe
delegates that the financial situation
with respect to irrigation projects was
bad that in remedying this situation
lay the secret of the prosperity of
the entire west. Several remedies
were suggested. Including the loun-
ing of postal saving bank funds to
farmers at low Interesi. Plans will
be considered In greater detail at th
later sessions of the conference
which Is tu continue through the
week.
The Irrigation conference got
under way slowly with considerable
creaking of the machinery. It was
the first gathering of Hs kind ever
held in the country and tn the crowd
which densely pueked the spacious
representative hall of the capítol
there as wide diversity of opinion
as to the proper method of conduct
lug business.
Framing Four Committees.
Finally a plan was adopted by
which each of the 17 states repre-
sented was tn appoint one member
on each of four committees- arey
act projects lrrlsjsi Ion district a
reclamation service and the desert
land law. These committees will
meet separately thresh out 1 ho he
wilderlug mass of information com
plaints and suggestions offered by the
Individual members and determine
what matters shall be brought befon
the general conference. The chair
men of the four committees with
As3iiant Secretary Jones will com
pose a sub -commit tee to map out th
program In detail.
Having thájs established a base of
operations 'the delegates entered
upon a general discussion of Irriga-
tion problems. Dr. Blwood Mead
formerly state engineer of Wyoming
but now employed as an Irrigation
expert by the government of Victoria
Australia described agricultural con
