 in December, 1901, marked the beginning of a new epoch in the his-

 whole nation. Without his powerful aid and that of his administra- 

 tion it would not have been possible to secure the passage of that 

 great act, which will inaugurate and put -into effective motion the na- 

 tional irrigation policy, for which we have been striving so long. 



"Great as his administration may be, we believe that none of its 

 achievements will redound more to the greatness of our people and 

 the glory of our country than will the passage of the national irriga- 

 tion act. We send him our greetings and give him our assurance of 

 our most sincere respect and admiration." 



Resolutions were also passed recommending the protection and 

 preservation of forests and urging the co operation of national and 

 state government to this end.
