EDUCATE THE EAST.

@Let our motto be, unite the West
and Educate the East" said Ex-Gov-
ernor Myron McCord OF Arizona, in a
short address to the National Irriga-
ton Congress, at Missoula. Montana.
Governor McCord has certainly a
clear conception Of the needs of the
West on the irrigation subject, and of
the policy which should be pursued
to most quickly and effectively &C.
complish what everyone comedies
must result in the greatest direct de-
velopment and benefit.
Governor McCord strongly advo-
Gated reclamation of arid territory by
the Federal Government. awe are
not asking the Government to en-
bark on any new and untried scheme"
he said. "Successful irrigation is as
old as the hills Look at the wonder
full results achieved by it in the Salt
River Valley, Arizona, where 100000
acres of desert land have been con-
verified into one of the most produc-
tive sections in the United States. In
Arizona alone there are 100000
acres OF just such lands that need
only water to make them the garden
OF the earth;' and in the great West
there are 75,000,000 acres OF such
land. With water. every acre of this
now useless land would be worth In
its virginlty at the lowest calculation
$5 an acre. Here would be 1915, 900;
and people tell us the Government
could not profitably undertake the
building OF storage reservoirs to de-
velop this land"
Mr.. McCord expressed the belief
that by combining the members of
Congress from the so-called arid
States could 30 concentrate their
force and influence as TO make their
attack absolutely irresistible.
&Let the voice of this entire trans
Mississippi country" he said, abe
heard in the halls of Legislation
sounding as the voice of one man de.
handing the granting of this simple
act OF justice and equity. In this
country public opinion, when based
upon indisputable truths, is force
that commands respect and obedi.
ence as we'll in Congress as else
where.
"Let us show that this whole coun.
try is now looking with confidence
from the overstocked markets of
Europe, with 25O,OOO,OOO people, to the
growing markets of the ORIENT, with
its 75O,OOO,000 Of population to sup
ply. From our Western coast the
heart OF that market is reached with
in 5000 miles over IN open sea in the
temperate zone, whereas the same
point is 1000 miles distant from
Liverpool by the Suez Canal, the
Red Sea and the torrid Gulf of A den.
1t certainly cannot be our part to sit
in the midst Of an empire of desert
land, protesting but mildly against
the current Of events and doing moth
ing else to change it."

half the ball was kept in close proximity
To the visiting teams goal during the en-
tire half, and was at one time within ten

on l5-yard line and gaining ground on each
play Gasch, who played left end and
who did not have the opportunity to distin-
guish himself until the last five minutes Of
the latter half, played fine game and
turned out TO be a tower of strength for
gaining ground. Had this man been used
earlier in the game the home team would
have undoubtedly won. Cooke and McFar-
land played t. strong game. The game
abOunded in rough playing on both sides,
one or two men being disabled at each

MIR. WHITE WILL NOT RESIGN.
Ambassador to Germany Gives For
NAL Denial OF n Rumor.

Ambassador White, who is taking short
vacation in Italy, sept the following dis
patch to the Associa ted Press in Berlin yes
terday afternoon in reply to an inquiry re-
garding the report that he intended to re-
sign on account of advanced age: The re-
port to which you allude is an entire tic-
ton.
The runor had caused no little connection
in Berlin. and several semi-official papers
expressed doubt of its correctness.
John b. Jackson, secretary of the United
States embassy, has declared that the en-
bassy officials were not aware of any such
intention on the part of the ambassa
but Mr. Whites denial was the first au-
thentic information on the subject.
Some color had been given to the report
by the occurrence of recent unpleasant
experience of Mr.. White, calculated to en-
bitter his stay here. HIS landlord is try
ing to sell the ambassadors residence to
the government of the Grand Duchy of
Baden. which Is anxious to secure it for its
own legation. He repndiates Mr. " Mites
contention that the lease of the premises
was for the ambassadors term. Mr. White
finally placed the matter in the hands OF q
lawyer.

From the Manila American, October 16.
Early yesterday morning, before day
light, scouting party of marines, consist
ing of Lieut.. Wynne and five men, left the
outpost at Fort Rice and secured the coun-
try around the causeway for some consid-
cradle distance. with excellent results, hav-
ing succeeded in locating several nests of
rebels, who certainly seem determined on
coming back to their old position, and
which the marines are determined to hold
against ell insurrecto opposition. In the
mist and darkness they advanced right up
to within fifty yards of the enemy's
trenches, when suddenly and without warn
ing they were fired on from three sides;
the insurrectos fired in continuous volieys.
for considerable time. and soon the two
companies who are stationed at the fort
were up and ready for action, but their SER
vices were not required.
Having flushed" the enemy and accom-
plished the purpose for which they were
sent out, the party was withdrawn without
a shot being fired on our side.
Great praise is due Lieut.. Wynne for his
courage and GOODNESS, and also 10 the men
who were with him, under such a heavy
fire, and the cool manner in which he

back safe to camp without receiving a
scratch They arrived at the fort before it
was yet day. Later in the morning, about
10 o'clock, another party went out, and
while locating the rebel position they saw
five horses and young colt, which they
soon captured. This party was fired on by
two mounted officers of the insurrecto
army, who wore an attractive uniform,
with scarlet pants and artistic gold-laced
tunics of light blue material
The officers at the fort, after a consuta-
ton, made up their minds to shell the
rebels from the trenches, and the big guns
at the fort opened the ball shortly after 3
pm, and continued firing Tor nearly two

Gus accuracy in his firing, and his previous
artillery practice gives him a great advan-
