Address. j s, i

Colorado Springs, Oct. 6.-The Tenth
National Irrigation Congress was
opened at this afternoon under cir.
cumstances especially auspicious. Great
significance was lent to the congress
this year thru the fact that irrigation
movement had been given a place of
importance thru the action Of the last
congress in passing a bill authorizing
the proceeds from the sale OF state
lands to be used for irrigation purposes
IN several states. President Roosevelt
sent message of congratulation and
cordial sympathy to be read before
the convention. Thomas F. Walsh,
president Of the congress, delivered an
address on the Humanitarian Aspect
of National Irrigation
Walsh congratulated the country up-
on the passage of the national ifrigAeS
ton act and painted bright and ems
thusiastic word picture OF the benentsi
and possibilities which will accrue to
the people by the irrigation OF the arid
lands of the west He said there Is no
field which could be a benefit so much
as In assisting in the reclamatio and
settlement Of our great arid region.
After paying tribute 10 the "patri0t1cs
far-sighted, enthusiastic men who @in-a
augurated this movement years a80sss
and referring to the work of the Na-i
tlonal Irrigation Association as ansaux.S

Rose and Reagdon are not robust

complaint would be punished by con-
tinement in solitary, so they resorted to
the expedient of inflicting painful

TWO YOUNG BOYS FOUND DEAD
Mystery in the Sudden Taking of o1
New Jersey Youths

Camden. N. j.. Oct. 6.-John H. Cof-
fin. II years old, and Price Jennings,
ID, Camden boys who had been missing
from their homes since Wednesday
noon, We're found dead in a weed grown
field near Hadden Heights Inn.
Paul Woodward, is years old, who
has worked at various times for young
Cofins grandfather, has been locked
up in the Camden county Jail. pending
an investigation.
Such is the mystery surrounding the
case that the authorities will not ven
ture a decided opinion as to the cause
of death. One detective believes the
boys ate something poisonous in the
woods and died from it's effects. An
other theory is that they died from
exposure. The generally accepted the
ory of the detectives who have been
at work on the case. however, is that
the lads were murdered.

BE ! Great suceess-Everythins in
Apple Pie Order for the Guests Of the
Nation. .1...A

Washington, Oct. 6.-The men who
fought for the union In the great con-
saict that ragged from 1861 to 1865 are the
guests of the capital Of the nation. They
came in thousands strong to participate
IN the thfrty-sixth encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, the open
anr ceremonies Of which occur today,
and were greeted by bright skies,a beau
ttfully decorated city and q hospitable
people.
The streets early were the scene of
areat activity and on al, hands could be
heard the prediction that the encamp-
ment was to be success. The visitors
already are counted by the ten thou
sands and trains are arriving hourly
with their loads Of human freight to be
added totthe throng. A noticeable fea-
ture is the presence of great many
young folks among the out-of-toWn
people. The city with Its lavish deco
rations never looked more attractive
than today. There Is scarcely build
1ng on the principal streets that is not
xestooned with the national colors and
every stand on the street is similarly
decorated. The streets have been espe-
cially cleaned IN preparation for the
event. Everything is in apple-pie order
for the veterans. The program for the
day includes an automobile parade, re-
Eatta on the Potomac, decoration OF
Camp Roosevelt, monster campfire at
Convention Hall and grand display OF
fireworks tonight.
The center OF interest during the day
was the grounds south OF the white
house whGreon an ellipse undar the
shadow Of the Washington monument
are located the tents which are to be
used 40 headquarters OF the different
corps and other divisions whose mem-
sbers constitute the Grand Army. Among
the organizations thus represented are
the Army Of the Potomac, the Army Of
the James, Army OF the Cumberland
and army OF the Tennessee. All those
tents were occupied during the day and
all proved powerful magnets to the vet

ARMY EXPENSES LESS.
Uncle Sans Troops Cost Less Last
Year Than in 1901.

saSs
Year Than in 1901.
Washington, Oct. 6.-According to
the report of the paymaster general,
army expenditures decreased during
the past fiscal year $91S,919, as COM
pared with the preceding year, partly
owing to decrease in the pay of the
army and in part owing to a reduction
of claims for extra pay by volunteers.
The total expenditures made by Pay
master General Bates were $52,523, 479.
The paymaster general is an earnest
advocate Of the creation of q retired list
for government clerks, and his report
contains strong plea for the establish
ment OF a system of retirement based
on the deduction of small sum month
ly from the salary OF each clerk. He
says that he sees no trouble in adjust
ing such scheme to a practical work
ing basis without expense to the United
States.
A financial statement, setting out in
great detail the expenditures of the
paymaster generals Office, makes 1t ap-
pear that the total approximate cost Of
the war with Spain on account of pay
and extra pay to volunteers and regu-
lars and mileage to officers $73,66S, ,440.
Gen. Bates takes satisfaction in not
ing the fact that every cent of money
dfsbursed thru his department from the
date Of the outbreak of the Spanish war
has been satisfactorily accounted for,
and that the government has not lost 1
cent thru defalcation, captures by the
enemy, robbery or any other cause,
while the cost Of disbursing the vast
c,,,,, NJ nvar S20C OOO 600 includinp sal.
aries and mileage Of paymasters and
their clerks, has been about seven
tenths of per cent of the amount dis
bursed.
The report contrasts this record with
the civil war, when nearly 100000 was
lost by the government.

In the struggle, If that can be called
a struggle in which the Ghost, with
no visible resistance on it's own part,
was undisturbed by any effort of Its
adversary, Scrooge observed that its
light was burning high and bright;
and dimly connecting that with it's in

He was conscious of being exhausted,

squeeze, in which his hand relaxed;
and had barely time to reel to bed be-
fore he sank into heavy sleep.
