DELEGATES TO IRRIGATION CON-
GREss. DIVIDED ON REPEAL
OF LAND LAWS.
VOTE AGAINST AFFILIATIoN
MEMBERS DECIDE NOT TO MERGE
IRRIGATION WITH TRANSMITS
lsslPPl CONGRESS.

Ogden, Utah, Sept. lit developed
during the day that the fight over the
proposal to commit the National lrrl-
CATION congress in favor OF a repeal OF
several of the existing land laws, in
Guiding the desert land act, the timber
and stone act and the commutatlon
clause of the homestead act will be a
close one. Champions both for and
against such action were heard at the
DAYS session of the congress.
George H. Maxwell of the executive
committee of the National Irrigation
association, and Senator Paris Gibson
of Montana, favor such action. wnlle
Congressman Mondell, in a lengthy
speech. took strong grounds against
such repeal. Both the repeal resolu-
lions introduced by Mr.. Maxwell and
the speeches of Senator Gibson and
Congressman Mondell were ~applauded.
It was a day of hard work for the
delegates. Besides listening to half a
dozen speeches, numerous resolutions
were introduced and referred to the
resolutions committee, of which Sena-
tor Smoot of Utah is chairman. A
committee appointed last year to in
vestigate the desirability of affiliation
with the Transmississippt congress,
reported against such action on the
ground that the time had now come
for action, and the report was adopted
unanimously.
The morning session was devoted to
colonization and the opinions OF rail
road men and sociologists on the best
methods of settling the arid region
with a desirable class of farmers and
stockmen.
Feature of Morning Session.
One of the features of the morning
session was the speech of Commander
Booth Tucker of the Salvation Army,
who gave a complete description of
the methods pursued in the Salvation
Army colonies of California and of
Colorado in settling them with people
from the tenement quarters of the
East.
All of the speakers urged cO-opera-
ton between the states, land owners
and railroads in the general scheme
OF colonization, without which, they
said, the scheme of irrigation was of
no value.
The report of the committee on ere
dentials showed 946 accredited dele
gates. representing states and terri
tories. The large number of delegates,
it was said, was due to a violation OF
the clause Of the constitution provfd'
Ing for the appointment Of delegates
The first fight of the convention, pos
sibly involving the meeting place fol
next years congress, came up on a mo
ton by a Montana delegate to allow
each accredited delegate to vote, in
stead Of combining each states vote tc
a maximum Of twenty. Idaho, with
delegation numbering 146, and Other
states with large delegations, favored
this. but a motion to lay the proposed
amendment on the table was carried
almost unanimously. This. it is
thought, will greatly favor the chances
of Ell Paso and IF St. Louis.

The Next Governor.

The editor Of the LEADER had the
pleasure Of meeting . gentleman At the
depot last Wednesday who will be the
next governor Of South Dakota. He
has the confidence of the republican
leaders and the people. Is gentleman
who would grace the position, and was
q brilliant soldier in the civil war. He
was member Of the last Territorial
legislature and was q leader in that
body. He is not q lawyer but . splen'
did judge Of law and is not strictly .

ion. We have no authority to give bis
name to the people at present. and what
we'have said betrays no confidence.

The team that msnipulates The
Rudolph hotel train buss was inclined
to run away when opportunity offered,
and it found the opportunity last
Thursday night. The horses became
frightened at train switching and
backed the buss against the depot plat.
form, breaking the tongue. The horses
started to run, but with broken ton.
que the driver was powerless to stop
them, and he was soon thrown out.
The team headed for the barn and in
going in the door one Of the horses was
thrown and the point Of the tongue was
driven into the poor animal over two
feet, killing it instantly. The broken
tongue was about all the damage the
buss sustained. Twas fine team but
entirely too nervous for train buss.
