An enthusiastic mass meeting Of bus
mess men and irrigators was held In
the Salt Lake Assembly hall beginning
at p, m. today The meeting was
under the auspices of the Irrigation
congress OF Utah and the Commercial
club OF Salt Lake City, and was called
for the purpose of hearing an address
on the new irrigation law by Chief
Engineer +. II. Newell Of the U, s,
geographical survey. Mr.. Newell ar
rived In the city this morning, being
met at the depot by committee from
the Commercial club who escorted him
TO the clubs elegant quarters on West
Temple street, where irrigation mat
tiers were discussed and lunch later
partaken OF.
The meeting was scheduled for ?
o'clock and was called to order 10
minutes later by State Engineer A. +.
Doremus. Prayer was offered by Pres
ident Angus NJ. Cannon. Mr.. Doremus
expressed his qualification at the num-
Der present, although he should liked
to have seen more. However, he be-
lieved those who were assembled were
representative men, all interested IN
the great question Of irrigation. Mr..
Doremus then introduced as the speak
er Of the afternoon, Prof Newell, who
introduced his subject by paying
glowing tribute to the late Major
Powell, whose efforts for irrigation had
been SO beneficial to the arid west. He
then referred to the frultion, so 10

PRODUCTION Of the irrigation bill, lately
passed by the Congress of the United
States. The benefits accrulng from the
passage of this bill were touched upon,
and the fact that It's work now devolv-
ed upon the photographic bureau of the
geological survey referred TO.
Mr.. Newell said It was the purpose
Of the bureau TO ascertain to what
extent the states Of the arid west
needed assistance, and the projects the
representative men Of those states had
In mind. The bureau wanted sugges'
tons from those interested, aud pro-
vded they were In conformity to law

Quarantine Against Cuban Ports on,

New York, Oct 1.-Quarantine sea-
son against Cuban ports has been called
cff by Health Officer Doty. Hereafter
all passengers will be passed without
dt.ention at Hoffman island.
Mr.. Doty said. AT the outset OF the
reason I felt that the great improve
ment in sanitation IN Cuba warranted
: relaxation OF the rigid rules OF formeg
years. a visit TO Havana confirmed
this. and decided that ] would not pun
the usual regulations until l saw some
reason 20 do so. However, as the sum-
n.er set in. aud warm weather pre-
.aNad with the possibility OF unrecog-
nlzed cases Of disease appearing |
deemed IL a proper precaution to place
"a quarantine against n0n-immune per-
sons from cuba commencing July J.
'hus deferring the time two months.
Now the restrictions have been re-
moved one month earlier than usual
From official reports 10 me by Dr. Car
los Finley the chief sanitary officer or

lieye that there have been no cases OK

in hand for such purposes, and all II
required to bring 1t forth was system
attic, determined, united effort on the
part Of those desiring the benefits TO be
derived.
The irrigation law, said Mr.. Newell,
was 80 constructed as to provide
against corporations getting hold OF
the projects to be evolved. Az the
bin required was an evidence Of good
faith on the part Of those directly
concerned Then the money would be
forthcoming, and everything done to
give the state what 1t 50 much desired.
The money thus secured could be re-
oald in the yearly instruments and no
Interest would be charged.
Reference WAS then MADE
10 the Irrigation Congress to be
neld In Colorado Springs next week.
ana in this connection Utah was urged
TO send a representative delegation to
that meeting. This state, said Mr.
Newell, had always been to the fore on
this question, and he believed the inter-
est shown was as great here at present
as 1t had ever been.
Questions then being invited Pfesl-
dent Angus NJ. Cannon inquired wheth-
er 1t was the idea to bring the Duchesne
info Utah Lake, to which Mr., Newell
replied that such would be optional
with those concerned in the matter.
Bishop 0. p. Miller called attention to
the fact that at present there existed
q number of canal companies operating
under the laws OF the state. In view OF
this, would united action on the part OF
such companies bring forth the desired
aid from the government
To this Mr.. Newell suggested that a
better plan would be TO apply for as
sistance in the name of wafer users,
rather than as company or companies
Incorporated for the control and dis
tributon Of said water.
A number Of questions pertinent 70
the subject under consideration were
asked, 10 all of which Mr.. Newell gave
satisfactory replies. He suggested
freedom IN a discussion of the subject

ana become fully acquainted with Whai
might be done under the new irrigation
lag. He also suggested tnat the mat
ter be discussed on sound, common
sense business basis that some one den.
mite conclusion or plan Of action coulc
be arrived at. Sixteen states and ter
ritorles would be benefited under the
law and Utah was one Of them ana was
entitled to her share OF the benefits.

TALK WITH MIR, NEWELL.
Chief photographer Much Interest
ed In Western Irrigation

Prof. r. II. Newell chief engineer Of
the L. S. geological survey at Wash
ington, arrived this morning over the
Rio Grande, and registered at the Ken
yon. He was escorted to the CONNER
clal club rooms shortly after. where
he held a consultation with Chair
man George c. Lambert, +. A. Druehl.

the same committee. The party took
lunch together at the club at 1880, and
the distinguished visitor was escorted
later to the Assembly hall
In a short talk with reporter OF the
News" this morning, Prof Newell
said he had been a visitor In this coun-
try for the last IA years. and had al
ways been interested Ia western ril-
cation matters He approved OF the
plan offered By State Engineer Dore-
mus relative To restricting the area OF
Utah lake and at the same time deep
ening IT, as The plan he had also ad-
yoeated The professor said just as
the state engineer stated that the idea
is 10 reduce the surface area to pre-
vent so much evaporation. The great
difficulty with all western lakes Is their
extended area, and the restriction meth
cd Of treatment is the proper proce-
dure IN utilizing them for reservoir
purposes. Prof Newell spoke encour-
agingly Of Bear Lake. which he consid-
cred particularly wen adapted for use
as q reservoir. and he urged the neces-
silly of united feeling and action
among the people so that the govern
ment could step In and help. He said
the reservoir question was the great
question IN the arid west. and people
should see how necessary II was 20
take hold and help push the establish
ment of the reservoir system IN a sem
sible, practical way, He anticipated
much pleasure from attendance az the
afternoons mass meeting In Assembly
hall, and the opening day of the irriga-
tion convention tomorrow.
