The friends of irrigation need
 not fear that because of the ad-
 verse treatment received by the
 great number of irrigation bills
 and amendments introduced in
 Congress, especially in the House
 of Representatives, the national
 irrigation causes has suffered.
 It must be remembered that the
 irrigation movement Is a new
 thing in the East. Prior to the
 present session of Congress 1t
 has hardly been considered seri-
 ousl by ten per cent. of the Eastern congressman. And 1t must be remembered that Ill what may be considered the early stages of a new movement, great mass ot literature and discussion and ef- fort must be put forth which will serve simply as a means of direct ing attention to the subject and indicating the variety of interests and purposes favoring and behind 1t. When individual efforts and attempts at legislation in the shape of bills introduced and amendments offered in Congress became so numerous and insistent as to assume the nature of pub lie c1amor, then the proper con- mittee, whether hostile or favor ably disposed to the project, must give the matter consldera- tion; must gather all the kindred bills together and formulate from them a comprehensive measure, and make a report upon 1t. This is the situation in the present short session of Congress. Old and expected legislation is press ing Ill great volume for enact ment, and Congressman are not in the limited time at their disposal this winter, to take up extensively a new question, nor Is it the purpose of the friends of irrigation to attempt to force the subject. Nevertheless every now knows that the question Is coming one and a question considered to be of great and pressing interest to a large number of people, including he commercial sections of the East with their vast manufac- :ories looking for a market for heir products.
 The desultory agitation of his session on the irrigation sub ect is serving it's purpose we'll.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 31;-Mrs. Carrie Nation, armed with a brand new hatchet, started crusade a. gainst the Topeka joints this morning. She called upon five of the best known places.

 This convention is the result of a meeting of a large number of prominent growers of cattle from many states and territories, held in Salt Lake City on the evening of January 17th, 1901, to consider the question whether there should be formed a general organization to promote and pro- tect the industry of cattle grow ing. The great interest felt in the question was manifest by the large and enthusiastic attendance, where in every state and territory. but one, vert of the Mississippi River was represented. After a full argument 1t was unanimous 1y decided that THE AMERI- CAN CATTLE GROWERS. ASSOCIATION should be creat- ed and that its membership was to be made up exclusively of cat  tie growers. Officers and an ex- ecutive committee representing each state, to hold until the first convention of the association, were selected. It was determin- ed that the first convention should be held in Denver, as above. and that at that meeting the organi-

THE SAN CARLOS DAM.

The Committee on Indian Af- fairs of the Senate considered and favorably reported an amend ment providing $1OO, 1000 for the beginning of work on the San Carlos reservoir in Arizona. If this amendment is made part of the Indian appropriation bill, it will afford work for the starving Pima Indians, and will be the commencement of one of the best reservoir propositions in the arid region, one, too, which will per haps best demonstrate to pract1- cability and excellence of the national irrigation policy.

zation should be perfected by the election of permenant officers and executive committee, and the adoption of a constitution and bylaws; whereupon the conven- tion should proceed with such business as might be called be- fore it.
 THE AMERICAN CATTLE GROWERS ASSOCIATION was formed in. full accord with the main object of the National Live Stock Association, then in at Salt Lake City. All other live stock interests have exclusive national organizations except the cattle growers thru which to ad- vance their interests. The cattle growers, naturally, wished and determined to have such an or ganization of their own, which will take all action, offensive or defensive, to protect any interest peculiar to their industry. It Is earnestly hoped that all cattle growers will join this association.
 The present idea Is for individ- ual membership to form the basis of this association, which will give a small cattle grower as much voice on the floor Of-the convention hall as a large owner, but this will be finally settled at the first convention. The only qualification necessary for mem bership is to be cattle grower and owner.
 At present membership may be secured by sending your name and address to the Secretary, Union Stock Yards, Denver, Col rado, or to your state committee man Cor personally at the conven- tion), together with five dollars, the initiation fee that was accept ed at the meeting at which this association formed it's temporary It IS expected that the railways will make a greatly reduced rate for the round trip to Denver.
 This association Is to protect and advance the interests of all cattle growers, large or small, and we want them all on the membership roll. It is espe- cia11y desired that a large attend ance be had at the coming con vention at Denver, and any cattle grower who can possibly come is urged to do so. They may be assured that the proceedings of he convention will be highly beneficial, and their stay in Den yer exceedingly plersant.

TAKE THE HATS OFF.
A Society Lady's Views on Wearing
Hats In Church.

| notice an article in the ARD
MoREITE in regard to wearing hats
at the theatre or in church. Be-
ing a new woman ! am in favor of
all new movements. To wear or
not to wear is, however, a question
that admits to argument. The
theatre bonnet is such a thing
of beauty, and as it is in size as
modest as a violet no one should
object to it. We all admit that
the hair when becomingly dressed
is the only ornament a woman
needs. / have time and sgain seen
ladies remove large hats and hold
them in their laps during per
formance. On the other hand,
unless my memory fails me, ! have
seen something in the Bible to the
effect that a woman should not en-
ter the synagogue with her head
uncovered. We might suggest
that the theatre bonnet be worn to
church little oftener. It should
not be considered important wheth-
er we wear a hat to church or not
as we are supposed to 90 there to
hear and be instructed. Apropos
of wearing hat in church, a
young lady had been attending the
church of the Annunciation, a
small but very high Episcopal
church in P. She stopped at
tending that church and was con-
formed to the church of the Advo-
cate, the largest Episcopal church
in the city. When | asked the
cause of the change she said:
Because the ladies wore home
made hats and distracted my mind
from the sermon" Now the Bible
says if to eat meat causes our
brother to offend we should change
our diet. So would it not be
equally correct to go bare headed
to church if our bonnets and hats
causes our sisters to offend, either
from envy or the reverse.

Every seat was occupied in the
Central Baptist church last night
by a people who went there to hear
another forcible sermon from
Evangelist Mcconnell. Prof. f.
j. Harrell and wife sang a duet
The Story That Never Was
Told.
Mr.. Mcconnell took for his text,
The Fool Hath Said in His Heart
There is No God" He said that
it might be thought strange that
he would preach on what a fool
said instead of referring to the say
ings of a wise man. He thought
we could profit by the language of
the foolish as well as by that of
the wise The word fool" does
not bear the same meaning in the
Bible as it appears to US. In the
Bible the word means foolish and
any man who acts contrary to rea-
son acquired by training and edu-
cation; one whose acts are prompt
ed by the evil nature within him is
foolish.
If a man believes there is no
God he should not be afraid to
speak it out publicly. He should
not hold to an opinion that he is
ashamed to be let known. Design
eminating from the brain of man.
design seen in nature, proves the
existence of a creator.

were strong and brought to ire
