ment league to make tour of the
southwestern part of the state and
speak against the amendment. He
will hold meetings at Florence. Sail
da, Ouray, Montrose. Grand Junction

AGREEMENT
CLOSED.

Salt Lake. Oct. 8. Senator w. A.
Clark and E. H. Hartman have
patched up their railroad differences
and Clark has agreed to buy up that
portion of the Oregon Short Line sys-
TEN south of Salt Lake.
A close traffic agreement will be
made between the systems controlled
by the two men, although it is under
stood to be expressly provided that
the Denver Northwestern and Pacific
road of D. H. Moffat, when built,
and the Denver & Rio Grande system
of Geo. J. Gould will not be shut out
in any way.
There is at present controversy
on between the Oregon Short Line
and the Rio Grandle Western over n
track franchise in Salt Lake City, in
volving the part of the Short Line
which is to be sold. When j. M.
Herbert was in Salt Lake last week
negotiations were carried on with
General Manager w. H. Bancroft, of
the Oregon short line. looking toward
settlement ouside of court. As soon
as these and few other details are
arranged it is believed that the for
NAL announcement of the deal will be
made.
The price to be paid is said to be
around $4,000, 600. w. S. McCor-
mick, one of the directors of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, the
Clark road was today placed on the
board of the Oregon Short Line. At
the annual meeting of the Union Pa
cific, next week, he will be made a
director of the corporation.
The deal involves an entire reor-
ganization of railroad control in the
West.

IRRIGATION
CONGRESS.

Henry Nichols, one of the delegates
to the National Irrigation congress
from this county returned home last
night. He was asked this morning
regarding the convention and said in
part as follows:
There were no sectional PROPOSE
tions brought before the congress.
We could make no appeal for Mesa
county and the irrigation project now
being Investigated by the government.
as the congress was national in its
scope and it discouraged any attempt
to work sectional matters.
In his speech before the congress,
Chief Hydrographer Newell said that,
in the projects proposed it would have
to be demonstrated that there was a
sufficient water supply at all times
and land enough to be irrigated. That
they did not propose to consider pos
sible sites for storage reservoirs or
canals, where there was an INSULT
cheney of water or where it was not
possibl for the government to secure
returns for the Investment.
''All the work that the Mesa coun-
ty delegation did was done in lobby
ing. We joined or at least attempted
to join issues with the Utah delega
tion, but here we ran against an un-
expected obstacle, as we found that
the thirty -one delegates from there, a
very few of them seemed to under
stand that they had any land on tn e
eastern border to irrigate and they
all, or with some very few exceptions
had private schemes of their own to
boost.
cone of their schemes was to lower
the depth of Utah lake to irrigate-
about five thousand acres of land.
Another was in connection with Bear
lake.
1.-The men who seemed to realize
that they had vast unoccupied ter
ritory on their eastern border. We're
John Henry Smith, the president of
the Mississippi congress, State
There were seventeen delegates from
Salt Lake City alone.
| "We believe from what conversa-
tion we had with Mr.. Newell that he
is thoroughly apprised Of the value of
our great water supply in the Grand
| river and while he did not state that
he is favorably impressed with the
proposed great irrigation canal, to
take the waters of the Grand river
from in the canon and distribute
them over the great body of irrigable
lands in Colorado and Utah, it is
considered by him we believe one of
the best propo sitions offered the gov
ernment.
Mr.. Nichols states that there was
great interest manifested by every
body in the congress and that much
good will result therefrom. Every
section of the country was represent
| ed and Colorado will have to be alive
to secure its benefits from the great
appropriation.
