PROMINENT PEOPLE.
responses from Some Who Have Been
Asked to Speak at the Irriga-
ton Congress.

In response to an invitation to be
present and speak at the National Irri-
CATION congress, Gov. W. j. Mcconnell,
of Idaho, writes Hon. L. B. Prince, chair
man of the committee on invitation, that
he expects to attend, and, "lf permitted,
will address the congress on the need of
true Americanism in suhduing the arid
plains of the west and maintaining the
standard of American citizenship"
George Q. Cannon says: at is some
what questionable at present whether
can find time to go at the date mentioned,
as l have been absent from home the
greater part of the summer. If l can go
| shall be pleased to contribute in any
way l can to the interest of the proceed
ings, but will trust to the occasion to
suggest the topic"
President E. 7. Jeffrey, of the D. & R..
g., writes: "If it should be at all prac-
ticabe for me to attend the meeting,
shall certainly do 3d."
Hon. Thomas j. Clunie, of California,
says: "California is heart and soul in
favor of ell laws calculated to promote
the cause of irrigation, without which a
great part of the state will langulsh. We
were startled at the decision of Judge
Ross, but have caught our breath and are
taking the necessary steps to avert the
disastrous effects of his ruling.
II can not tell you what irrigation has
done for California. Our development
has simply been marvellous. With water,
land supposed to be of no value has been
made the garden spot Of the world. The
conditions here and in England are en-
tirely different, and our laws must fit the
new conditions. I remember with pleas
ure your speeches in behalf of the white
metal and deeply regret that l can not
hear you on subj ect second only in i'm
portance to the free coinage of silver.
Unfortunately an important previous en-
gagement will prevent me from being
with you at the congress"
Hon. Thomas M. Patterson writes: 81
would certainly be with you were it not
that l have peremptory engagement
which must fill at the identical date
fixed for your congress. Irrigation is a
subj ect in which we of Colorado take
deep interest and I do not doubt but that
by mingllng with and listening to your
people on that interesting subject, very
much of value would be learned, but it is
impossible for me to crafty my wishes
IN that direction"
Senator Carey, the author of the cele-
brated Carey act which gives each state
100000 acres of land, writes: II shall
be very happy to accept, if at all pos
sble. No subj ect is of greater import
ance than that of irrigation to the Rocky
mountain states and territories, and l
feel that every influence should be used
for its promotion"

pie Hopeful.

Hon. Geo. Curry, clerk of the 3rd judicial
district court, came up from Socorro last
night. In behalf of the people of So
zorro, he desires, through the medium of
the NEW MEXICAN, to thank Martin Cha

sufferers have been relieved and other
means are being adopted to take care of
the rest.
Mr.. Curry adds that Socorro will soon
be restored; that in many respects it will
be in better condition than before the
flood; and very hopeful feeling prevails
generally among the people.

They do say that Hon. Neill B. Field,
in the famous A. & P. recelvership case
just heard at Albuquerque, made by far
the best argument that was presented In
behalf of the bond-holders. Lawyer Jen-
nings, of the Erie, was principal counsel,
and both he and Gen. Noble had much
more time than their junior associate,
but in the forty minutes allowed him
Mr.. Field spoke 80 effectively that
those who heard his address left the
court room plimenting him highly.
1t lis said the fee paid by the bond-holders
IN this suit amounted to $4,000, Mr..
Field receiving $4,000 and Messrs. Jen-
nings and Noble $4,000 each.

the we'll at the gate house.
The report was also made to the COM

What Our Beaches May DO in Future
Summers.

The following description of Sunday on
one of New York's sea beaches may be
written some day of Oregon's resorts:
Breeze-swept Coney Island attracted
over 1000 people yesterday. The West
End had not had so large a crowd be-
fore this year. From early in the fore
noon, when the heat and its attendant
humidity sent every one into physical
liquidation. the transportation lines were
crowded to their utmost to carry the
sweltering men, women and children who
fed from their sun-baked brick and
brownstone homes to where the cooling
breszes blow.
AT Manhattan Beach the hotel people
worked hard to feed their guests, and
the pavements and promenades were
dotted thickly with prettily dressed
women and children. Notwithstanding a
light breeze it was hot even at Man
haitian until along toward night. The
guests at the Oriental were in good
spirits. Last week was a trihe too cool
for them, but yesterday they got just
what they expected when they bought
tickets for their favorite resort-a warm
day and a tolerably cool breeze to tenn
per the suns rays.
Brigihton beach also had its heaviest
day Of the season to date. and the hotels
did a rustling business. At the West End
everything was In holiday attire. Csp-
order. and the faklr did not pursue his
trade. The amusement people were kept
on the jump all day and coined money.

O.d time patrons of the West End were
surprised that so many people could get
together without disorder and consequent
arrests. Captain Clayton has succeeded
in getting rid of practically all the tough
characters and the West End has be-
come a pleasure ground for all the peo-
pie who go there now without the fear
of being robbed or Of witnessing scenes
of violence.
Prospect park was one of the spots
which afforded a breathing place for
many weary people.
The Brooklyn crosstown cars carried
full cargoes and did not begin 10 re-
turn until the evening brought indica-
tions of a storm, which broke between
and 10 O'Clock. Never was shower
more opportune. The temperature fel
ten degrees in half an hour, and, while
many got drenched, every one was glac
that the rain made good nights sleeI
possible.

DIAMOND LOST AND FOUND.
Strange Recovery of Lost Gems.

At noon Sunday, strange gathering
was noticed in front Of Mrs. stevens
boarding house. The ladies and gentle
men of the house were seen in their best
Sunday clothes polSing about the piles of
debris, left by the builders, in an earnest
and thorough manner.
A gentlemen and lady passing by in
quired the reason Tor the unusual pro-
ceeding and were told that Mrs. Over
baugh, while standing at the window,
in the second story, dropped the dia-
mond setting of ring and that all were
bent on earning the reward offered for the
recovery Of the stone. The ring was a
valuable one and much prizsd because
of associations connected with 1t.
After length of lime spent in search
all efforts proved futile, and just as the
search party were about 10 give up in
despair, and had made up their minds
that there was no possible opportunity
of winning the reward, Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Dusen came down the street and were
told the story. Mrs Van Dusen said she
would find 1t and turning about imme-
dlately picked up the stone from the
rubbish at her feet and restored it to
its owner. Mrs. Van Dusen has never
been accused of being a seer, but she
might be said to be a mascot.

CARRIES MAIL AT A MILE A MINUTl
New System of Underground Electric Tu-
bular Railway to Be Used.

bular Railway to Be Used.
Should the city council after its vaca-
tion conclude to grant Richard Il. Sher-
man permission and authority to con-
struct and operate underground electric
mail tubes, Chicago may have the
finest mail distributing system in the
world Think of mail coursing through
subterranean passage ways at the rate Of
a mile a minute! Yet this is what
Postmaster Hesing, Supt. John A. Mont
gomery, and Electrician Richard e. Sher-
man declare to be a demonstrated reality.
Nothing like 1t exists in the world, and
without doubt Chicago will be the first
city to give the new system a practical
trial.
Last fall John A Montgomery, Superin-
tendent of Mails, made trip to Phila-
delphia to investigate the pneumatic tube
mail service in that city, Upon his re-
turn he said to Electrician r. E. Sher-
man:
Sherman, why can't you invent an I'M
derground apparatus which will carry all
our mail? Maybe you don't know it, but
we handle from 275 to 300 tons of mail
a day. Why not get an underground cleo
trical car system by which all this stuff
can be transmitted from the substations
to the central office and thence to the de-
pots?
That was enough. Sherman caught. the
idea, retired to his laboratory, No. 22O2
West Monroe, and soon perfected the sys-
TEN. The details were forwarded to
Washington, and "a patent secured June
q. Aid. Coughlin introduced an ordi-
nance Monday night in the city council
granting to Sherman, his successors or
assigns, permission and authority to on
crate electrical tubes and electrical con-
duits, with all suitable switches, branches
turnouts. connections and stations along
under and upon any of the streets allev>
ways avenues, tunnels, viaducts and un-
der the Chicago river and its various
branches. for the purpose of collecting
receiving, conveying, carrying, and trans
mitting United States mail packages and
all other suitable commodities. The or
dinance further provides that the con-
structioa work shall be under the direc-
tion Of the commissioner OF public works.
and that deposit Of $4,000 shall be made.
Provision is also made that in the con-
struction of the system a sum not less
than $4,000 shall be expended the first
three years. The company Is also to pay
into the city treasury 80 per cent per an
mum OF the gross receipts.
''The system will cost 5000 and we
will begin work within a week after the
ordinance is passed" said Electrician
Shecman yesterday. 'Conduits will be run
from the postofice 10 all the substations.

duits win have to go below the cables ana

so to 500 pounds Both the speed and
distance can be regulated by a dial. The
maximum speed is over a mile minute
Follr trailers can be added to each car.
When the car approaches within OOO
feet of its destination a bell Is sounded
at the receiving office and rings when the
mail is removed.
"The underground system of mail trans
mission has the advantage over the mid
air system in that rails can be used In
stead of wires, thus permitting of heav-
Ter burdens, and there is perfect safety

FOUND ON THE SANDS.
Large Amount of Stolen Irvine Discov'
cred by Fishermen Yesterday.

Large Amount of Stolen Irvine Dlscov-
cred by Fishermen Yesterday.
A fishing boat with both sides broken in
was found on the upper end of Sand Is
land yesterday afternoon. Eight bales,
four with web in them, and four with
gill net twine, were inside the boat. The
supposition by the officers is that
the boat and twine were stolen and that
the men in making their escape with
the plunder were wrecked and the boat
with part of it's contents washed ashore.
The particulars were brought to town by
Charles Hall, and employe Of the Astoria
Iron Works, who was sailing in a boat
near the island when his attention was
attracted by two men who hailed him
from the sands, and who, together with
their boat, were washed upon the island
and made the discovery Of the stolen
goods. They reported the find to Mr..
Hall, who Immediately returned to the
city and notified the authorities. Last
evening the boat and twlne were brought
to the city. The boat Is painted blue.
On one side is the name Myrtle" and
on the other Hustler" The boat has the
number 1914 painted on it, which clearly
Shows that 1t Is, together with the names,
purely fictitious.
The twine Is Of the Barbour Bros.
brand and belongs to Sherman & Thing.
The value of the goods found is in the
neighborhood of $1,5OO.
