RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE IR-
 RIGATION CONGRESS.

r Following are the main reccmmendf tions of the irrigation congress whic recently convened in Los Angeles ) That body issued a carefully, prepare, address to the teople of the Unite, , States. As southern ArIzona mostl
 needs irrigation systems to produce th } best results, and much of It to produc any profits, we give few extracts iron
 the address:
 The laws governing waters and lands
 ln a number of states and territories
 are inadequate and dange rous. Streams
 are appropriated under lax and con-
 ficting state laws, and the absorption oi
 interstate waters promises to become
 the fruitful source of future litigation
 and soclal disturbance. The desert
 land law, under whose operation the
 public land is passing away from the I people, is largely perverted from its
 original purpose. It offers the settler
 land upon terms with which he cannot
 ordinarily comply. The law has become
 ID ifs execution the instrument of cor
 porations, who acquire land for SIPS per acre, reclaim + at an average cost of SS.15 per acre, and sell it back again to the peop'e upon profitable terms named only by themselves.
 We declare it to be the c rrect piin- ciple that water in natural channels and beds is public property; and when. un- der the law of any state, vested rights have been secured thereto, such rights, like all other private property, may be supervised for beneficial purposes and be condemned for public uses, under the exercise of the power of eminent domain.
 We declare that all streams risiag in one state and flowing by natural course through one or more other states must be conserved and equtsbiy divided under federal authority.
 The time has come when the work of developing on arid land policy, on broad national and state lines, can no longer be delayed. The number of plans suggested for the solution uf the problem are legion. Some of them have received endorsement from commercial and political conventions. B lieving that harmony of action is vital, that wide discussion and patient invsstiga- finn in1io1aneoh of wIse conclusions, we earnestly favor 1 the adoption of the following plan: l There shall be appointed by national executive committee Of the irrigation | congress a commission for each state and territory in the ard or semi-arid -egions, consisting of five members each, who shall be competent and eXprienced men. These commissions shall at once Inter upon a careful investigation of he condit:ops existing in each of their tates or territories, and then formulate ,lans looking to the adoption of a lational policy to be supplemented by ppropriate local laws.
 The result of the investigations of hese several commissions shall be sub nitted to the next irrigati on congress, t time to be designated by the ex- cutive committee, not exceeding one ear hence, and upon these reports the nal and definite declarations of the eople of the western states and terri ores may be based.

IF the duty be removed from lumber it will paralyze the saw mill industry along the lake borders In Ohio alone there are over 1000 saw. mills, and injury to their business will work injury to more than 10000 laborers in that state, thus affecting something like 100000 persons dependent, directly and indirectly, upon that industry.

A Eavorite in Kentucky.

MT. W. M. Terry, who has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky, for past twelve years, says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy gives better satisfaction than any other cough medicine I have ever sold" There is good reason for this. No other will cure a cold so quickly; no other is so certain preven- tive and care for croup; no other affords so much relief in cases of whooping cough. For sale by

Same Thing.

An Irishman went to a lawyer with case, but the attorney wanted a re- tainer. The Irishman was poor, and finally the lawyer said he would take the case on a contingent fee. It was settled. says an exchange, but the con- tingent-fee part of the agreement both cred the client. He cOnfided his ignor- ance to his friend, Paddy, and asked for an explanation. An it is the meanin' of contingent fee yer after knowin'? Sure, I'll tell ye. A contin- gent fee means that if ye lose the case the lawyer gifts nothin'; if ye win you git nothin'."

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Burglars early this morning entered the house of Frank B. Wheeler of the suburban town of WIllmett. They beat his mother-in- law, Mrs. Cross, into insensibilIty.

He pursued the other across the prairie firing till the revolver was empty. He then returned to find his house on fire and his mother-in-law burned to death. The flames were extinguished before the house was destroyed.

of this court and former occupant of this bench certainly understood much better the relations he should sustain and does sustain to the court than Mir. Dunbar. I find nothing in his statement to contradict or justify his act, or which amounts to a purging thereof, and I therefore hold him in contempt of the court.
 The sentences pronounced, court ad- journed. The spectators had for the most part grinned broadly when the sentences were pronounced by Judge Sloan. It was sll so very novel, the sending of a judge, late of the supreme bench of Arizona, leading lawyer and a prominent citizen to jail for ten days. For Dunbar there was less comment. Newspaper men are alway- getting into trouble. They have been in pligbts like Mir. Dunbar's here before They can stand good deal, these newspaper fellows.
 Judge Barnes shook hands and said good-oy to his friends. His greatest regret he said, was thst he could not see the circus.

Prof Garner REPORTS Wonderful Success
in Learning aud TrnnslatinE II.
Prof. Garner has written letter
to his brother in Australia, in
which he declares he has succeeded
beyond his widest anticipations" in
bis experiments with monkey talk in
Africa. He says: 81 am safe on the
coast, just rceking with quinine, the
proud posscsscr of chimpanzee that
eau say 'Tcnakoc Pakcha.' which is,
YOU know, the rrMaoria for good day,
stranger Il gorilla that knows about
twenty words of Fijian, and Ii female
oranyc-outans that has picked up
'donner and bitten from my German
valet, and has, Judging from her
actions. quite fallen in love with him.
/ have also got written down which
is more important, nearly two hun
dred monkey words. Here are q few
spelled phonctically: 'Achru, mean
ing, sun fire, warmth, etc.; 'kukcha,
meaning water, rain, cold, and, APP
parently anything disagrecabie;
sgoShku, meaning food, the act of
eating. You will see from this that
it is a very primative language. There
are perhaps. not more than twenty
or thirty words in it that ] have not
already got, 80 my task is now practi-
cally completed"
When his battery, photograph
and revolving mirror began to work,
he says that the glitter of the mir
ror soon attracted a host of chatter
ing monkeys. | watched them for
an hour and then cautiously APP
proachcl. They disappeared like
magic when they saw mc-all but
one, chimpanzec. When | got
close to it | found that it took no
notice of me, but stood as if transiixcd,
with widely opened eyes and dalai
ed pupils, gazing at the mirror.
There was slight tremulous motion
in the limbs and spasmodic with
of the ears. could hardly believe
it. The animal was hypnotizcd. 1t
was making gutteral sound like
'schru' When ! subsequently, listen
ed to the gram | found that simi-
lar sound was frequently recorded
thereon amid what was then an unin-
telligible tumble of monkey chatter.
/ put the monkey in bamboo cage,
and on examining him about an hour
afterwards found him still under the
hypnotic influence. revived him
with good strong sniff Of ammonia
and held lighted tapir before his
.leyes. He was quito traetable and
said .achru, and few more tests.
4 satisfied me that this word embodied
4 the idea Of heat. light, warmth and
4 brightness. Other words followed,
4 and it was wonderful to take note of
Ibis awakening intelligence. Z

Hon. Joseph B. Cotton.

One of the members who stood In the
front rank among the representatives
in the legislature of 1928 was Hon.
J. B. Cotton, Of Duluth. He was
representative from the Fifty-rourth
district, composed of st. Louis, Lake
ami Cook counties. When the session
opened Mr.. Cotton was regarded by
many as young man who liked to dress
well and have good time. Before the
day of final adjou rnment came, how
ever, the gentleman from Duluth had
won his spurs, and was generally adj
mitted to be one of the most aggressive
and powerful members Oh the floor.
During the session Mr.. Cotton served
faithfully as member of the important
committees ON the Judiciary, grain and
warehouse, municipal corporations,
taxes and laws, besides holding place
on several minor committees. He it
was whom the Republicans honored
with the duty OF presenting the name
of G. K. Davis for United States sem
ator. His speech on that occasion
marked him as one of the leading ora
called to the chair by Speaker Lee, and
ruled with firmness and fairness, ex-
pediting business by his energetic
methods. No subject lacked attention
at his hands, and his influence was al
ways felt Oh the side he chose to take.
Joseph Bell Cotton was born at Al
bon. Noble county, Indiana, Jan. 6,
1865, ON farm, where he remained till
sixteen: graduated at Albion high
school in 1882; entered Michigan agr.
cultural and mechanical college, at
Lansing. Mich. in the fail Of 1882;
graduated in 1856 with degree of bach
dior of science: was elected, upon grad
uation, assistant to professor of mathe-
mates, ard filed the chair two years.
While performing the duties OF that
position he studied law with Hon. Edwin
Willets, then president Of the college.
later assistant secretary of agriculture
in ex-President Harrison's cabinet, and
for several terms member Of congress
from Michigan; studied with Hon. Luke
II. Wrigley, of Indiana, prominent
attorney of Northern Indiana, daring
college vacations; was admitted to the
supreme court of Michigan June 10,
1858, and resigned his positions at the
college.
While in college Mr.. Cotton was first
in class standing for the whole course,
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-06-08

1878. He attended Manchester college
and the state university in the years
1878 and 1874, and took special class
course under Rev. Edward ID. Neili, ID.
ID. After that he entered Dartmouth
college as sophomore, and grad
uated from that institution with
high honor in 1877. In 1880 he was
created master of arts by his alma
mater. He then studied law with Gil
man, Clough IL Lane, and was ad-
mitted to practice law in the fall of
1879 For two years while studying
law he was instructor OF Latin and
Greek in the st. Paul high school. For
year after being admitted to the bar
he remained with the firm of Gilman,
Clough Sc Lane. and i'll the year 1880
opened an independent Office aud was
actively engaged in his profession until
he went on the bench last January TO
serve term of six years. Mr.. Willis
was elected because he was Democrat,
an excellent lawyer, and was liked by
the people generally. His opponent had
the nomination of three parties. and had
the advantage of being ON the
bench, but could not overcome the pop
ularlty of Mr.. Willis. The subject of
this brief sketch was once the candi-
date Of the Democratic party for attor-
ney general, and once as presidential
elector. He has made active canvasses
of the state on the political platform,
and is one of the most effective and
polished speakers in the country. He
served the state on the state board OF
corrections and charities from 1888 until
a few months ago. and has been prom
inent in that work both at home and in
the national society Of associated
charities, where ne has gone as dele
gate. His bearing and demeanor on the
bench mark Judge Willis as born
jurist, and he is esteemed by the laity
and the bar. ssa
