Colonel Hinton presented the follow
ing, which went to the committee:
Resolved, That this congress recommend to
the several delegations the organization OF
State irrigation associations In their several
commonwe alths, and early assembling OF State
conventions to continue the work OF the
body.
Alexander Bruce of New South Wales,
who has been Commissioner at the
Worlds Fair, told Of the resources OF that
country.
On motion OF McKeon Of San Diego. the
chair appointed Messrs. Jarvis. Kellogg
and McKeon committee on examinations
to act with the Chamber OF Commerce
committee.
A Kansas man said the delegates were
not here to spend the winter, but j. M.
Lee of Nebraska eclipsed him by raising
great laugh on the statement that he
found it cheaper to live here than any
where else. and he was in no hurry to get
away.
Judge Peterbaugh made good point by
saying that there is more in on q good OBJ.
ject lesson than all theory.
The invitation to 60 to Perris and to
visit other points on tho way was accept
ed for Friday morning at O'Clock.
An invitation from the Southern Pacific
was accepted to go by special train Sunday
to the Soldiers Home and Port Los An
geles.
Spires OF Los Angeles presented reso-
luton asking the advancement on the
United States Supreme Court calendar,
for immediate hearing" the case of the
Trega, plaintiff in error. VS.. the Modesto
Irrigation District, defendant. for these
reasons: First-Irrgation bonds have been
issued in California under the Wright act
in excess of $40 000. 900, at least SIS. .000. 900
of which now awaits purchasers before
the systems for which they were issued
can be com pleted. Second-Many persons
now within such districts boundaries are
paying taxes and assessments without
having received any dement's there
from, and in many instances are
in great danger Of losing their
homes unless prompt relief can be given.
Thrd-The early decision by the Supreme
Court will, if in favor of the district, at
once and forever settle the legality of the
act as we'll as the absolute security of the
investment. When we once satisfy capital
lists of the investment we are sure of pur-
chasers.

fruits, and that an average family may be
supported in comfort upon farm of from
five to fifteen acres, so that now where but
one family can scarcely gain living were
Irrigation employed thirty families might
prosper in degree Of comfort, even OF

"The contrast to home comforts, the
social privileges, the educational advan-
tages and the general state of society upon
a wind-swept prairie sustaining one family
per square mile, with status of thirty
families occupying the same area amid the
comforts, the certainties and the wealth
which springs from that stolid and appar-
emily inert soil at the magic touch of water.
the wonderful changes that may be
wrought in desert and apparently worth
less tracts Of land by irrigation, can be
realized and appreciated only by those
who have witnessed such tran sformaton.
In the great plains irrigation signifies the
creation of immense wealth and the mass
ing of the great population where now Is
comparative nothingness. 1t is now a
question of water supply, for the respon-
siyeness of the soil. uniform depth of sur
face and the simplicity of the engineering
requirements are remarkable.
THE resources of irrigation may be
summed up as consisting of the natural
streams and springs supplemented by stor-
age, flowing wells and the recovery of
pluvitic waters by gravity and pumping,
The authorities have estimates that when
all the resources of springs, streams. storm
water and flowing wells have been utilized
about % per cent of the land susceptible
of irrigation will be supplied with water.
If this should be the utmost that may ulti-
mately be accomplished toward the irriga-
tion of the great plains country 1t will even
then be rendered capable of supporting a
population exceeding that of the entire
nation to-day, and it will SO shield the re-
mainder of the land from the disastrous
effect of sweeping prairie fires and so mod
ify the causes of warm and drying winds
that the remaining rs per cent will be
rendered far more productive and
more densely populous thar can
be possible otherwise. Now /
take a more hopeful view of the
situation. The average annual precipita-
tion is nearly 10 inches, and three-quarters
of that falls in growing months. The soil

capable of withstanding drought. Defend
such soil from denuding fires and cover
it with trees and other vegetation intelli-
gently applied and the productlveness Of
the area will be vastly more than % per
cent; furthermore, there are vast stores OF
underwater throughout the plains, and
there are multitudes of places where it
may be brought to the surface at moderate
cost. In many places where the water is
from two to four feet below the surface it
can be run out by gravity"
Mr.. Gregory thought the Government
need not and ought not to be asked to ap-
propriate any very great amount of money
for the reclamation of these arid lands.
All that could be expected from the Gov
ernment was. he thought, sufficient means
to carry on needed experiments and inves-
legations in irrigating these sections.

VOORHEES, BECAME DRAMATIC
But He Overdid it Little, Being Also
Ridiculous.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.-In the Senate
to-day the repeal bill was taken up, and
Cockrell of Missouri resumed his speech
begun on Monday. He said the opponents
of the bill were ready to pass it if
amended.
In the afternoon Cockrell yielded the
floor to Smith 3D. of New Jersey. who
spoke in favor of repeal.
Irby (Pop.) of South Carolina.followed in
opposition. The people of South Caro-
lima, he said. do not intend to be driven
out Of the Democratic party by the Presi-
dent. or by any Of tho self-constituted
leaders OF that party. The representa-
tives of the Republican States had foisted
on the Democratic party nominee who
did not represent 1t. That was unfair,
and now 1t was fiagrantly wrong for that
nominee to use the Republican party to
pass laws that mean ruin and destruction
to the poorer classes of the South and
West.
The joint resolution permitting the
State Of Wisconsin to place statue of
Psre Marquette in the Statuary Hall was
passed. Then Cockrsll resumed the floor
and concluded his speech with reference
to the Presidents letter to Governor
Northen, saying that there was but one
man in public life who had more unful-
filled predictions than Cleveland, and that
was John Sherman.
Allen of Nebraska then resumed the
floor until :05. when he yielded to Dubois,
who asked If VOORHEES, proposed to make
the usual adjournment motion. Voorhees,
replied that he felt it to be his highest
duty to ask the Senate to stay in con-
tinu0us session until the pending mea sure
was disposed of. Dubois. in reply, said
the country was drifting steadily
toward the silver side of the con-
troversy. and added. "You knew as
well when you started as you
will know when you emerge from the
struggle that you must fail. With the con-
ditions as they exist in the Senate there is
no hope Of radical legislation. If you con-
cluds to abandon appeals to reason and
sense and risk settlement OF this great
question On test of which side can stand
