IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Denver Meeting Trying 10 Decide How
Arid Lands May Be Re-
claimed.
DIFFICULTTO SAY JUST HOW
Some Believe in National Control,
While Others Favor State
Action.

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 6.-The national
irrigation congress is down to hard
work.
The state irrigation commission pre-
sented important reports dealing with
the question of national irrigation
policy and also with local laws which it
is hoped may be made common to all
the states.
There is strong sentiment among
the delegates in favor vgs having the
national policy expressed in the form of
bill, to be presented to the national
congress.
This would be preferable to leaving
it to any individual to formulate here
after on the ground that if the results
of the congress are embodied in clear.
cut measure, the people can support it
with the knowledge of just what they
are favoring, and political meetings and
conventions will have no difficulty in
understanding the proposition.
Favors National Control Of tho Work.
Representative Sweet of Idaho is a
member Of the the national irrigation
committee. He says irrigation work
should be done by the national govern
ment, and not be allowed to pass under
state control.
Mr.. Sweet also says the proposed plan
of turning arid lands over to the states
is impracticable and would start sys-
tenn of landlordism that America should
never have.
Provision has been made for survey
ing the arid lands, and no doubt con.
gress will provide funds for retaining
all such lands.
Representative Sweet believes SO, at
any rate.
Some of the Resolutions Proposed.
Resolutions were introduced request
ing that congress pass strict law for
the preservation of the forests.
Favoring the ceding by the govern.
ment to the states and territories all the
arid lands within their borders, never
to pass out of their possession, and to
be allotted to settlers in small tracts on
terms to be determined on by the states
and territories.
Asking that the waters of interstate
streams be portioned along the various
states and territories by the government
and that priority of right be considered
to some extent.

Public Address For Gen

PINE CITY, Mimi, Sept. THE
worst has been told at Hinclkley. There
has been but one party of dead discov-
cred since since Wednesday night. They
were in cellar west of Hinckley. and
It cannot be told whether there are three
or four bodies, so bad are they burned.
The work Of draining the mill pond
is progressing slowly, but the opinion is
that little will be revealed.
A huge building for relief offices and
shelter is almost enclosed.
Survivors Express Their Gratitude.
The survivors have authorized their
village organization to prepare an ex.
preston of their deep gratitude to the
people all over the United States who
have come SO generously to the aid OF
the stricken people.
Supplies are coming into Pine City
rapidly and there is no lack in any de-
partment of the relief work.
Report About Further Relief
The commission of citizens of the
state, appointed by the governor, will
be at Pine City Friday for general in
spection of the work that has been per-
formed, and careful estimate of the
total relief required and how and where
to apply it.
Future Destiny of the Town.
The Brennan Lumber company OF
Hinckley may possibly rebuild, and if
SO, the town will resume its former
prosperity. From the rough figures
furnished the engineers and superinten-
dents of the lines damaged by the fires
it is estimated that the damages to all
railroad property, including damages to
telegraph lines and wheat in transit,
will be over 100000.

Few More Bodies Found at Hinckley
and the Number of Dead
There Is 22l.
SEARCHING In TIE WOODS.
There Are No Startling Developments
Relief Work Goes On Rapidly,
But Smoothly.
In TIE WOODS.

PINE Cry, Mimi, Sept. c. The
death roll at Hincl1ley is growing, but
slowly. Seven bodies were found early
"Wednesday morning.
Searching parties are out in all direc,
tons, but their orders are to bury the
dead where they lie.
The seven bodies brought in were
taken to the graveyard, and with the
body of Axel Hanson, county commits
sioner, which had been brought i'll on
Sunday, brings the total number i'll
Hinckley up to 22l, and i'll the vicinity
of Hinckley to upwards of 230.
AS yet it has been impossible to APP
proach the mill pond, the heap of saw
dust and edgings which form its banks
still sending up clouds of binding
smoke, rendering it impossible for a
man to get near the water
Will Handle the MilI-Pond Carefully.
1t has been decided to draw off the
water, allowing it to escape gradually,
so that the logs may settle where they
are, instead of being crowded down into
the lower end of the pond, and thereby
rendering it impossible to recover any
bodies that might be beneath them.
1t is not supposed, however, that there
are many bodies in the pond. Mr. L.
Fl. Glow, who was foreman of the
Brennan company, i'll charge of the
yard, told the Associated Press CORE.
spondent that he was the last man out
of the yard and made his way to the
gravel pit. He says no one could have
gone through the yard after he left,
and he noticed no one going that way.
Others, however, are quite positive
that they saw persons making their
way toward the pond.
At Pine City, the work of relief is
running smoothly. A system of requi.
sitions for clothing and supplies, has
been instituted and all who are i'll need
are getting assistance.
Relief Work Goes Smoothly.
The work is running too smoothly to
present any features of interest other
than it's own method. No reports have
been received here from the outlying
points in the track of the fire.
A reliable summary of the known
victims of the fire would show these
figures:
Buried at Hinckley and vicinity 221.
At Sandstone, 81.
Pekegama, %.
At Miller, 12.
Probably 80 dead bodies win yet be
found in the woods, and elsewhere.
So it is safe to say that the total dead
will number 400.
