Show SALT LAKE AS HEADQUARTERS. The news that Salt Lake Is now virtually vir-tually tho headquarters for the West of the work of the irrigation officers, Is excellent. ex-cellent. The Intimation that as the work Increases this will be tho place of cen-trallty cen-trallty for all the officials of that work, and will be the general headquarters for the West, Is even better. As we pointed out the other day, this is the natural location for such headquarters, head-quarters, the central position from which the whole arid field can best bo reached. This Is plain from an examination exam-ination of the map, In connection with the work In progress in Wyoming, Montana, Mon-tana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. It is the best possible solution of the question to have a supplementary headquarters head-quarters and point of consultation here, for Washington is too far away for any sort of convenience in consultation or celerity of action. And besides all that, we have presented the very best scheme for a general Irrigation proposition that has been presented by any section, anjl the whole question is better understood here than elsewhere. The selection of this city for the Western headquarters was certain, In fact, from the moment that a Western headquarters was seen to be necessary. |
