AT the afternoon session q letter was
read from Secretary of Agriculture Will
son dealing with Forestry and Irriga-
tion." Arid plant life was discussed In
q paper on "New Crops for Arid Lands, !"
by Frederick v. Coville, botanist of the

Z Trouble arose in the meeting thisEaf err
noon when the report OF the committee
on permanent organization was present.
ca. All parts OF the report were accept
ed save that portion which recommended
that a field meeting OF the congress be
held next spring at Colorado Syringe,
and the annual meeting later In the
year at Buffalo, N. Y.
A dozen delegates rose to their feet to
protest when this-was read and loudly
voiced their protests. They desire tina {
the annual meeting be held In Colorado
Springs, and the secondary affair n
Buffalo. They claimed that the majority
of the men who would attend the an nusl
meeting were residents of the west,
and that they should notibs compelled
to go as far as Buffalo. The discussion
lasted over an hour, and waxed warm
at times. Finally, on the request OF
Chairman Booth, OF the organization
committee, that part of the report relating
to the place Of holding the next annual
meeting was referred back tothe commit
tee. with instructions to report at 1l.Su

THE CITY CHARTER.
ro the Editor OF the Press.

To the Editor Of the Press
An editorial In the morning PRESS
states that "The charter appears TO be so
unsatisfactory TO one of its prominent
authors that he has set to work to amend
1t by preparing Dali to be introduced lin
the legislature increasing the Mayors
power over the police force" Appear
anoes must be deceitful II the editorial
refers to me. for am very well satisfied
with the proposed charter. The crying
need in she police department can be met
much more quickly aud surely by the
bill to be introduced by Representative
" ebb than by placing provision in the
charter and submitting 1t TO the tender
mercie s of the present hoard OF aldermen,
whose attitude toward the police depart
ment is too we'll known to need descrip-
ton. IL the people who believe the Mayor
should have more power over the police
will give their moral support to the meas
ure TO be introduced by Representative
Webb, and which is drafted to meet the
Ideas OF Mayor Robinson. IL can become
O law Within two or three months, and
give the present mayor all the power he
desires, ana all tine power needed TO DOM :
pletely CLEANSE the police department. be :
fore the end OF the present term. The
present police law was a special acto the
legislature of 1886. Ii was never sub
mftted to the people, and there Is no
reason why 1t cannot be amended by the
proposed act II the people so desire.
AS for the charter itself, the principal
criticism is that IL does not contemplate
certain reforms. But these can be accom-
plishsd much more quickly and securely
by special legislation as above indicated.
The charter proposes to abolish the Com
mon Council, which now has little real
power, and to increase the Boart OF AL
dermen to q representative board which
would not be so susceptible TO private
and corporate influence. Further, 1t
changes the municipal year and election,
includes a much needed provision in re-
gard to the mayors veto power, and
numerous other minor improvements
which are universally commended The
criticism OF the change IN the department
of public works is groundless, as care
full examination will show. 1t does not
change the civil service method OF en-
ploying labor. but stops the present prac-
tioe of favoritism in the department by
requiring all work done directly under
the charge of the commissioner to be done
by contract to the lowest bidder. be-
Iieve this change Will save the city
thousands of dollars annually. The city
goyernmpnt may order, and the people
protest, but 1t max % little difference. A
careful examination will convince any
candid person that q. change Is needed.
The charter proposes numerous changes
which are much needed. Why condemn 1t
for not including measures which can be
much more quickly and surely secured
by special legislation II the people SO de-
sire?

AN APPEAL.

SsAs has been the custom for the past
twenty five years, Rev,~S, II. Pearson OF
the Gospel Mission desires TO visit some
OF the worthy poor, and extremely needy
ones OF our city, ON or before Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and provide them with some of
the comforts Of this present life. most
earnestly appeal to sucn as God has IA
vored, in behalf OF the sorrowing and suf-
fering, believing that many who are pos
sessed OF means, and yet whose time is
so occupied by home and business cares
that they have not the opportunity OF
seeking out and assisting those in the
poorer walks OF life, would consider IL
privilege and pleasure to contribute
something towards making some lie
brighter by a few crumbs of comfort al
this time. Donations of food or money
to purchase the same sant to hsv. 5. r.
Pearson, Gospel Mission, or to l2o Park
street, will be most thankfully received
and Immediately acknowledged.
