HH. PORTERFIELD Tn hia opening statement to the “tact finding commission,” Secretary Work, in the course of an emphatic attack upon the whole work of the reclamation service, sald; “Thru complaints from orggniza- tlons of water users, individual water users, agents, Inspectors, official rec- orda of the department and congress, it appears that nearly all the projects @re in such conslition that some radi- cal reforms or improvements must be had if they are to be saved, farm: ers protected from the loss of their homes, and the return of the money advanced by the government for their construction and maintenance ig to be secured. Annual reports on some projects indicate thelr insolv- eney and pending failure. Out of the 28 projects, only ono has met its obligations as they fell due." PIONEER RISKS ARE HAZARDOUS If this statement were accurate, it would not be particularly serious ex- cepting as repeating the experience of all, pioneering movements since that time when Abraham journeyed from Chaldea to Canaan, In 1882 the writer, then a small boy, journeyed with his family at the head of a colony of 23 families, mostly mechanics and small trades- men, from a little town in East Cen- tral Iowa into the territory of Da- kota, where ever settler waa given} 160 acres of good land, free, and an-| other 160 acres as a timber culture | claim, conditional only upon planting jand caring for 10 acres of trees, Some of these men were practical farmers, others were not, but all) » healthy, vigorous, tem. perate, God-fearing men and wom | of good old English, Scotch-Irish and Pennaylvania-German stock and ev- ery family had a little money, at | least. | At the end of nine years, or by 1891, not one family of the original | 23 had been able to stay on tho land.
