The matter of forming an irrigation
district, the only one referred to in the
article in question, is public and not
a private affair, and Of which any per
son has the right and privilege to dis
cUss. If, as you state, some of the sign
ers to the cross petition are not land
owners on the creek and in no way af-
fected by the project, then the petition
itself is at fault more than US, as we &C
CURED our information therefrOm; but
we are glad to be set right in the prem
ises and apologize for the misstate-
ment. We have not sought to influence
public sentiment against you in any
suit you may have over the water or
other questions, and the fact that such
litigation was in existence was first
made known to US by a perusal of the
above communication. To any con
nection with the association whose
elongated title you give, we plead ''nOt
guilty" It's existence was heretofore
unknown to US.
Now as to the merits or dement's of
the boards refusal to grant the calling
of an election to decide the question Of
forming the irrigation district of which
you were the promoter, let US cali your
attention to one irregularity in your
petition which must have appealed
strongly to the board and certainly
will to you, and cite the law bearing
thereon:
In article Z, section ,, Of the irriga-
ton laws, we find that whenever the
inhabitants of any proposed irrigation
district, who shall be resident land
owners therein, desire the erection Of
such district, they shall cause to be
presented to the board Of county com
missioners Of sueh. county, a petition,
signed by not less than three fifths Of
the resident land owners Of such dis
trict, which said petition shall set forth
the public utility and benefit Of such
proposed district, and ask that an cleo
ton of the qualified electors Of such
proposed district shall be called to
vote upon the proposition TO erect such
irrigation district. And said Pc
tition shall be accompanied by an
estimate, to be made by the county
surveyor OF such county, Of the prob
able cost of the building of said main
ditch, bitches and lsteTaIs, and all
works necessary to be built in order
TO furnish a sufficient supply Of water
to irrigaJe the lands in said proposed
district, and the county commissioners
may order the county surveyor, on ap-
pleatien Of any 10 Of said petitioners

AN INDIANA REPUBLICAN MEETING
Leaders Adjusting internal Workings OF
the Party's Affairs.


the Party's Affairs.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 2O.-The
members Of the Indiana republican
state committee, together with prom1-
nent members of the party from every
county of the state, participated today
in party conference and love feast.
There seems to be no doubt that the
republicans will carry the state next
year, and the delegates are concerning
themselves with the internal adjust
ment of the party's affairs, rather than
with plans for fighting the enemy. It
is probable that John X. Gowdy, for
many years chairman Of the state COM
mittee, will be succeeded by e. H. Neb-
eker, who is favored by the political
friends of ex-President Harrison. Not
withstanding that there is a considera-
BILE element in the party opposed to
these periodic '.love feasts," on the
ground that they serve only to furnish
an opportunity for the breeding Of in
ternal discussions, today's meeting was
characterized by the utmost harmony,
and was probably the largest and most
enthusiastic Of it's kind ever held in
this state.
The republican meeting today was
the largest ever held by the leaders of
the party in this state in an off year.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of holding conference and allowing
the candidates to push their individual
booms for Office. Nineteen candidates
for governor head the list.
Colonel Dick Thompson of Terre
Haute, 81 years old, and secretary Of
the navy under Hayes, presided. He
made an eloquent speech and has an
nounced that he will be candidate for
delegate-at-large next week.
G. w. Fairbanks, candidate for SEN
ator Voorhees, seat, Congressman Wat
son and Johnson and others spoke.
They said the issues next year would be
tariff, finance and foreign policy. They
all predicted Harrison's nomination
and election.
The state committee held it's last
meeting and adjourned.

Chicago. Nov. 2o.-A special from
Washington, D. c.. says:
Senator Dubois Of Idaho, upon his
arrival here, has begun his fight for
the recognition of young men in the
senate. Since Idaho became a state
and Dubois senator he has endeav-
ored in vain to break through the ira
ditions Of the senate which require that
all the good places shall be given to
the older men. and in company with
David B. Hill, has inaugurated more
than one battle royal with this end in
view. The senate just now happens to
have a large infusion Of young blood
and for this reason the fight next month
is likely to be as much between the
young men and the old men as between
political parties. For years the con-
troll of the senate has been in the hands
of half a dozen men on each side and
the new senators propose to break up
this practice If it is possible"
