National
Irrigation
COVE RNMENT MAY AID IN
RECLA MA TION OF THE
ARID LANDS.

Pre,ident Roosevelt has
recommended government aid
for the building OF reservoirs
and reclamation of the arid
lands of the west. This fact
has made the entire west very
iubilaut. since it necessarily
means SO much increase in
wealthy immigration, cheap
homes, etc. The first bill TIA
that effect has been introduced
by representative Newlauds,
of Nevada, and provides that
all moneys received from the
sale of public lands in the arid
and Semi-arid states shall be
set aside as d special fund ia
the treasury to he called the
arid land reclamation fund. 1t
aut horizes the secretary of the
interior to let contracts for
the construction of reservoirs
and irrigation works, pay
ments to be made from the
fund. The cost of each stor-
age reservoir project is to b5
fastened upon the land re-
claimed and is to be repaid to
the fund by the settlers in no
more than twenty annual in
stallments. The land to be
reclaimed can be entered only
under the homestead act in
tracts not exceeding eighty
acres. 1t is claimed that un-
der this act the west will grad
ually reclaim itself without
,ost to the national treasury.

NATURAL CAVE
FOUND IN MONTANA

A special to the Rocky Noun
tain News from Butte. says a new
and wonderful natural cave, and
believed to be Que of the largest
known. has Just been discovered
on the line of the Northern Paci
fic. about 80 miles from Butte. An
exploration purity from Butte spent
several days in the cave, going
over an area of 10 miles and to a
depth of nearly 1000 feet. A large
river with cataract of about lUO
feet was explored for distance of
several miles without discovering
its source or outlet. A few arti-
cles of stone and copper utensils,
and some b,nes believed 10 be
human bones were also found in
one of the large apar Sments of the
cave. There were othe. evidences
that at some time in a prehistoric
period the cave was inhabited. Ii
is believed that an earthquake
closed the entrance to the cave
and killed its Inhabitants. The
formation of stalactite and other
natural decorations throughout the
cave are most beautiful.

TO COLONIZE
THE BOISE VALLEY,

During the past four or five
weeks Governor Hunt has been
very busily engaged in this part of
the state. A number of people
have been under the impression
that he was 81 IMPLY devoting n
little spare time and energy to
strengthening and patching up his
political fences, but this was only
an incidental matter. The Enter
prise has been reliably informed
that the real object of the Gov
ernor's visits in these parts was to
try and prevail upon the church
authorities to have colony of
Mormon settlers from Northern
Utah and Southeastern Idaho, To-
Gated in the Boise Valley. The
Governor has been in consultation
with President Smith of the Nor
mon church aud other high offici-
ais, and it is more than likely that
some steps will be taken looking
to the colonization of that section
of Idaho. To us this seems a good
idea. There is in that valley
thousands of acres of land, and
water enough for all the land The
soil is productive, the climate is
delightful, and altogether it is {
most desirable Wiley IN which &,
locate The people already there
are enlerprising and progressive

would be a good thing. for tha

THE DoWiEITES.
People of Evanston Will Have None of
 Them-Riot Occurred.

Chicago, July 10.-About two hundred followers of John Alexander Dowie made another attempt to convert the citizens of Evanston tonight and failed as on for mer occasions. One-half of the Dowieites were followers of Zion and the remainder were members of the paid body guard which Dowie maintains. The guards were intended to prevent any interference with the meeting and when it commenced they formed around the Dowieites proper to hold back the crowd of fully 150O people which gathered rapidly as soon as 1t was known that another Dowie meeting was in progress.
 The Dowieites were pelted with eggs and vegetables, and when several fights resulted between the guards and the peo- pie of the town generally. the police force of Evanston was called out. The chief of police ordered the Dowieties to with draw and met with a refusal He ordered his men to charge them. The police did not use their clubs and the guards held them back by sheer weight and force of numbers.
 The crowd meanwhile was growing ugly and Mayor Bates of Evanston, seeing that unless something was done quickly people would be seriously hurt and possi- bly, killed, ordered out a fire engine. The steamer at once turned a 4-inch stream on the Dowieites and they went over like tenpins. Women as well as men were thrown down by the stream and sent roll ing in the mud. The people of Evanston danced and hooted with delight as the firemen steadily advanced, driving the Dowieites before them in utter route. The work was done with impartiality, and whatsoever Dowieite was dilatory in movement was washed along by the A. inch stream.
 As the Dowieites fled the dry method of attack came once more into favor and the bombardment of eggs and vegetables was resumed and aided materially in purging the town from the presence of the Dowietes. Elder Piper of Dowie's church who had been in command of the small army, was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. While he was being led into the station men and boys armed with syringes containing dirty water and other liquids more objectionable, made him an object of especial attention and he wass in a sorry condition when the station doors closed behind him.
 About twenty other Dowieties were taken into custody, more to save them from the crowd in the streets than for any other reason.
 The Dowieites say they will return In greater force and the people of Evans ton declare that it will only make the next riot just so much the larger.

COLLIDE IN MISSOURI
 AND THIRTEEN PERSONS DEAD

 Women predominated in the big rally in Auditorium Williston in the afternoon, which was presided over by Bishop Alexander Walters of Jersey City. Rev. c. l.. Thompson of New York spoke of "A New Century of Home Missions"
 He reviewed the history of the Ameri- can Indians and the Christian work that had been done among them. Samuel B. Capen of Boston talked on the breadth and the outlook for foreign missions. He warned his hearers to beware of Russia, which he said, was holding down the Christian Endeavorers in Russian territories. Rev. A. A. Fulton of Canton, China, talked on "Systematic and Pro- portionate Giving" saying that the Chris tians were behind the Chinese in this respect. He outlined plan for church workers to contribute 2 cents per week for the support of foreign missions.
 The daily Bible study and personal work of the conference and the daily personal equipment conference con- cluded their meetings this afternoon as also did the prison workers.
 The Climax Reached.
 The climax of the convention was reached in the two great farewell meet ings held simultaneously in Auditoriums Endeavor and Williston tonight. Fully twenty thousand people were present. In spectacular way they rivaled all their predecessors. President Clark of Boston presided in Auditorium Endeavor and Treasurer Shaw of Boston in Audi torium Wiliston. They were purpose meetings and as the roll of states was called the leaders of the various delega- tions responded in brief talks, telling of their plans for spreading Christian good during the coming year. Japan, China, Af- rica, Australia, India, Persia and Arme- mia were also present and responded. The Endeavorers at Foo Chow, China, pre- sented the convention with a beautiful hand-painted silken banner of exquisite Chinese workmanship, which will be pre- scented to the state that shows the best general development between this and the next bienniel convention.
 The local Endeayorers at Osaka, Japan, also presented banner, which will be presented two years hence to the city having the biggest growth in its societies.
 Rev Floyd w. Tompkins of Philadelphia delivered the closing address, Our Marching Orders," in Auditorium En- deavor and Rev. J. c. Campbell Morgan of Baltimore in Auditorium Williston.
 President Clark spoke ''The Last Word. V He exhorted the Endeavorers to go home from the meeting with the firm purpose in their hearts to work with renewed en- ergy in the cause which they represent. Treasurer Shaw spoke "The Last Word to his audience in Auditorium Williston.

 Through the West.

Chicago, July 11.-Not since the estab- lishment of the Weather Bureau has this city experienced such terrific heat as af- fected 1t today. One hundred and two in Bureau was the high record, the highest previous mark being July 1e 1887, when s9S was reached. The wind blew with force from the west and southwest and a hotter. more stifiing air was never felt in this city. It seemed to add 20 degrees to the heat So hot did 1t become during the afternoon as the wind drove the hot air into windows and doorways that all through the business section of the city tenants of offices slammed down their windows to keep out the air. At the theatres where matinees were In progress guards were stationed at the front doors to keep them closed as much as possi- ble. If any comfort was to be found it was by shutting out the bTeeze.
 Down on the street level in the shade, the mercury was but little above that in the auditorium tower. but in the sun and on street crossings 1t was anywhere from 105 to no. The air was so dry. how ever, that it's effect was not as disas- trous as would have been the case had greater humidity prevailed. There were no deaths, but twenty-one prostrations were reported.
 Tonight the wind changed to the north west blowing off Lake Michigan with the result that the mercury went down 20 degrees within an hour.
