DELEGATES CHOSEN.
Mr.. Manson moved the election of five
delegates to the TransmiSsissippi Con-
gresS, to meet in San Francisco in Febru-
airy, 1894.
The matter was quite extendedly de-
bated by several delegates relative to the
right Of the convention to be represented
in the congress, and if so, how to appoint
the delegates and what relation the con-
vention work has to the scheme of the
congress.
1t was finally agreed that the Chair
select the delegates, one from each county,
the Chair to have power to fill vacancies
If any named cannot serve, 1t being un-
derstood that these appointment do not
supersede the appointments Boards of
Supervisors have the right to make,
but that the convention delegates repre-
sent it as distinct body.
Mr.. Manson introduced preambles and
resolutions reciting the great importance
of the work of the convention, and ask
ing each county named in the memorial
to contribute $500 TO the expense fund OF
the convention.
n. II. Rose said no such sum would be
needed unless a delegation is to be sent to
Washington. That matter should, there
fore, be first settled.
SINEWS OF WAR.
| A. J. Bruner introduced a resolution
by consent, calling for the election of a
delegate to go TO Washington, and stay
there until Congress adjOurns, if neces-
sary; the Executive Committee to select
the delegate, and provide the means,
data, etc.
w. S. Green moved to make the delega-
ton two, and Mr.. Rose moved to amend
to make it three.
The matter was debated at length by
| Messrs. Bruner, Sargent, Johnston,
| Green, Harvey, Barnes, Dixon, Stone.
Rose, Plunkett, Berry and others. The
question of cost and the expediency OF
work being the chief issues. 1t was
! finally voted, on division of the question,
to select three delegates instead OF one. 1t
was then voted that the Executive Com
mittee select the delegates, the words
relative to defraying the expenses being
stricken out, though it was understood
that the Executive Committee would do
It's pest to meet the cost involved.

tive Committee was then taken UP. 1t
was decided 10 select committee of one

THE WORKING FUND.
Mr.. Manson's resolutions as to the $500
contribution by counties named in the
| memorial was Lnen taken up ana excited
a debate upon the equity OF charging all
counties alike, when some are so much
more deeply interested than others.
Shasta County reported inability to pay
! the sum, though anxious to do so. But
some of the delegates from that county
said river improvement is a matter so
stirring Shasta County that the money
would be raised.
1t was finally agreed to leave the $500
! figure stand and take what the counties
could give where $500 was not available.
| The matter brought out a lively debate,
and the conclusion reached was that the
sum heretofore raised, -, 900, secured an
appropriation of So, 900, and the sum to
| be expended was a tribe compared TO the
benefits to result from proper treatment
of the rivers. The Manson resolutions
were adopted.
The convention at 1915 adjourned to
the call of the Chair.
The new Executive Committee met at
once, with q. NJ. Dixon in the chair and
resolved, after a spirited debate to meet
again to organize in not less than seven
nor more than ten days, when it will Sc
lect the men TO be sent to Washington.
