The West has been buflt up by the men who were able to take the rugged wilderness and fit it for the abode of themselves/and their fellows. Here in Nevada a new future opens 10 you because of the energy and foresight and farsighted intelligence of those who have recog- Dized the absolute need of using for the tillage of your fields the water that annually runs to Waste, It would be difficult to find in all the United States a locality that is fitter to serve as an object lesson in the need of and the use of irrigation than this particular locality, and I doubt If of recent years any Congress has put upon the statute books of the republic a law wiser in Its promise and its performance then the irrigation law enacted a year ago. Under that law_the national Government is to come to the aid of the States and of the in- lviduals and associations of individuals within the States in seeking to utilize for the benefit of the home-maker the immense possibilities that lie In irrigated agriculture.

ARSON, Nev.,, May 19.—This city receilved President Roose- velt and party at 9 o’clock this | | morning. For the last week the | residents of the ¢ have been | decorating, and the members of the Pres- | idential party al city of Nevada w srated of any city of its size that the party has visited The morning was an ideal one, as the weather, which had been threatening for the last few days, cleared and when the Presidential party arrived the was shining and the air warm enough to be comfortable. v John Sparks and Mayor Mackey, the Mayor of Carson City, met the President at th and accompanied the party to this city. Car- riages met the party at the train and the distinguished visitors were driven to the | State Capitol building, where a platform had been erected for the occaslon. The portico of the building was circled wich rifles forming an arch over the desk from which the President spoke. Over the arch was stretched a banner with the words, “Nevada honors the hero of San Juan.” Among the decorations were two fine specimens of buffalo heads raised on the farm of Governor Sparks. The half-mile drive from the depot to | the Capitol was a solid mass of people and it is calculated that 15,000 men, wom- en and children gave the President wel- come as he drove down the street lead- ing to the Capital Park. The grounds were crowded to their utmost capacity, but as the police had worked in accord- ance with instructions there were no ac- cidents and everybody had a chance to see the President and hear his twenty- minute talk. SECOND ANDREW JACKSON. In introducing the President Governor Sparks sald: Ladies and gentlemen: We have with us to-day our President, our soldier. He is not the first President that we have had that was a soldier. General Washington was a soldier neral Grant was a soldier, d old man was a sold: cap! ymest sun Gover te line Andrew Jack- “We have, I think, the second Andrew Jack- son with us to-day In e of war he, too, was a soldier.

Under his administration we will continue to enjoy prosperity. The enthusiastic thousands cheered wildly as the President stepped to the front of the platform and addressed them as follows: Mr. Governor. | tow e be intr ‘n Mr. Mayor and you, my fel has been a great pleasure to more than kind words the Governor has us because the Governor has been a genuine pioneer, and if there is any class of our people whom I feel inclined to put up level with the men of the Grand Army it is the men who did the ploneer work in conquering this continent for our people (Applause.) 1 wish it were in my power to stay a much in Nevada, and if so I would just longer time make the Go or have me out at his home. GREETS THE VETERANS. I have greatly enjoyed catching this glimpse of your people and in thanking all of you for your greeting I know that the others will not grudge my saying a special word of thanks to the men whom beyond all others we hoid in reverence, the men who in the years from 1861 to 1865 proved by their deeds the faith that was in them, the men of the Grand Army (applause), and after greeting you, the men of the heroic past, 1 _want to say & special word to the future. I am very glad to ses the children. It has been a pecullar pleasure to me in traveling during the last few weeks to be greeted everywhere by the school chil- dren, for of course it iS a mere truth to say that the entire future of this country depends upon the way in which the nexs generation is brought up by this. It Is a great thing to have the adjuncts of material prosperity; it Is a great thing to have the tools at hand: but it is the man who uses the tools who counts. He is the one who makes the future; makes it well or makes it ill. Just as it was in the Civil War, you needed good weapons, you needed good training, but you needed still more to have the right stuff in you, for If the right stuff was not in you it could not be got out of you. Here in this great Western country, the country which is what it Is purely because the pioneers who came here had iron in their veins, because they were able to conquer plain and mountain, and to make the wilderness blossom, we are not to be excused If we do not see to it that the generation that comes after us is trained to have the fundamental qualities which enabled their fathers to suc- ceed, and for that reason I am speclally glad to greet the children and to greet those who train the children. QUESTION OF IRRIGATION. 1 want to say one speclal word here in son City on a subject in which all of our peo from the Atlantic to the Pacific take an interest, but which affects in especial force the peo- ple of the States of the great plains and moun- and affects no State more than it does Nevada—the question of irrigation. (Applause.) New, as I say, I do not regard that as ia any ‘way mercly a question of the Rocks Mountain States or of the great plains States, because anything which tends for the well- being of any portion of the Union is for the well-being of all, and it was for that reason that I felt warranted in appealing to the peo- ple of the seaboard States on the Atlantic, (o the people of the States of the great lakes and the Mississippi Valley, to say that it was their duty to help In perfecting a scheme of national irrigation, because the Interest of any part of this country is In the interest of all of it, and no man is a really good American who fails to grasp that fact. (Applause.) The national Government fs still, as you all weil know, but as many Easterners do not kumow, the greatest land-owner in the Western States. and among all those States Nevada holds the great proportion of vacant public land, and the need of Nevada for Federal assistance was one of the strongest arguments used in the Qiscussion which preceded the reclamation act of June, 1902—the frrigation act of a year agv. The great extent of the vacant public land in the State and the fact that its water sup came chiefly from streams rising in the ad- joining State of California and the over- Whelming difficuities which for these and other reasons prevented the people of Nevada from etficiently acting in their own interest, made, in my judgment, and.,as it proved, in thes judgment of Congress,! Federal interference absolutely imperative. It is a matter for the strongest _congratulation of not only the West but for the whole nation that the policy went into effect. CONGRATULATES NEVADA. It is a matter of speclal congratulation to Nevada that the Secretary of the Interior, guided in his choice wholly by actual condi- tions on the ground, has been led to undertake one of the five sets of work which have buen flrst undertaken here in Nevada, particulariy near Reno, on the Truckee River. Extensive surveys have already been made and the pru- jects for water storage and water distribution are points which warrant our belief that im- medfate action is in sight. There are vast tracts of excellent land still in the ownership of the general Government here in Nevada and eisewhere to which the reclamation act will Continued on Page 5, Columa 4
