THE IRRIGATION CONFESS.
Senator NeW!ands Addresses the
Meeting.

Senator New!ands Addresses thu
Meeting.
An Ogden dispatch dated yesterday
says:
Methods Of colonization of the vast
1rrigab!e districts of the West and the
legal aspect of the whole question Of
irrigation and the existing land laws
were the subjects scheduled to come
before the National Irrigation Con.
gross at today's sessions.
The first named subject was expec.
ted to take up the entire time of the
morning session as besides Command
er Booth-Tucker of the Salvation
Army, who was to deliver the prln.
cipal address on the subject, a doz-
en- other speakers including Western
railroad officials and Governors, Sem
ators and Congressman from a mum.
Der OF States were expected to make
an informal talk on how to best briny
people to the newly irrigated lands
and make them profitable.
At the afternoon session the desert
land act act, which was attacked by
President Clark in his address yes.
terday, was to be defended by Con.
gresham Mondell, of Wyoming, and
here if anywhere, division on one Of
the greatest problems to come before
the Congress was expected.
Discussion Of this question was
quite free among the delegates before
the congress met this morning with
the sentiment apparently evenly di.
vided as to whether or not the con.
gress should recommend the repeal
of the desert land act, and apparently
the fight will be sharp one.
Belated delegates still continue to
arrive. mostly form the nearby West.
ern States, and the number Of dele.
gates present has now exceeded all
precedent or expectation.
Senator Francis G. Newlands Of Me-
| vada was one Of the principal speak
ers at the afternoon session of the
congress, the subject Of his address.
being State Cooperation in Nation
al Irrigation"
Mr.. Newland remarked that one
OF the difficulties in framing the nat.
ional irrigation act was the unwilling.
ness Of the arid States which had
already placed their systems of ir-
rlgation under the directions OF State
boards OF control and State engineers
to yield to any legislation which gave
the Federal authorities right to in
terfere in State control.
He then described the workings Ct
the Nevada laws, which secured the
ampiest cooperation Of the irrigation
of the State and which placed the
streams in entire control of the gov.
eminent while the work of construc-
ton was going on.
The State administration moves
along the same groove and in harmony
with the national administration. aud
so when the government turns con-
troll over to the State as provided In
lie irrigation act. the State beureau
will be thoroughly organized pos.
sessed OF all data, information ami
plans necessary to go on with the
work OF construction if any is neces-
ssry.
Mr.. Newlands urged that similar in
dependent legislation should bring abb
out the spirit of cooperation SO nee.
essary to successfully inaugurate great
projects within their boundaries.

Strange Writings.

Tim O'COnner, President of the Min.
ers' Union was in from Juniper camp
last Friday to attend the meeting. He
tells strange story that would be well
for scientists and antiquarians to look
into. Tim states that while out hum
ing last week some distance from
camp he began to feel pretty thirsty
and decided to look around for water
After searching for a considerable
time without success, he came to the
foot of a high peak and sat down tn
rest While thinking over his hard
luck he thoubht it would be a good
plan to ascend to the top of the noun
tain and take observations. After 2
tedious climb he reached the summit
when, behold his surprise to find a
small stream of water coming from 2
spring and falling over a perpendicular
cliff 100 feet in height. He then dis
covered that the cliff was covered over
with strange writing, and a few DAYS
later while at Needles, he found a

and who declares that no Indians arc
able to explain their meaning. Tin

urges the acquisition by the govern
ment of the land I'm those parks now
owned by private individuals In Sc
quota park there are many large tracts
thus owned, and after waiting i'm vain
for years for the government to pur-
chase their property, the owners are
beginning TO sell off the large timber.
Many of them are tired of watt
ing.' says Captain Young. These big
trees grow close TO the county road.
The owners have cut them by the
wholesale and put the lumber upon the
market, and where once was a fine
forest of magnificent giants there now
is but devastation and ruin in the
shape of stumps and saWdUst piles
on either side Of the high road 1t is
but just to the owners and for the best
interests of the government that the
purchase of these patented lands

gress if the parks are TO be continued"
He says the land can be secured for
reasonable prices. Captain Young
says game is Increasing.

the condition OF the game IN that pre-
serve. He recommends that provisions
be made for feeding game in the park
in the winter. The danger * loss by
starvation, he says is increasing year
~, owing to the fact that the country
around the park is settling up, thus
limiting the range. He thinks it would
not be a difficult matter 90 feed the
antelope and sheep, as their winter
range is close to Fort Yellowstone. He
places the number Of antelope IN the
park al about LOCO
The mountain sheep have increased
considerably i'm number ia the pas
year and there are now over 100 IN the
park.
The. bear seem to be about as ru-
meTOus as a year ago. They have done
no harm to anyone during ne past
season.
The deer seem to be increasing more
rapidly than any other game in the
park. at least they are becoming tanner
and more fearless than any other spe-
cies. The new buffalo herd, which is
under the immediate charge Of @. J.
Jones. is doing exceedingly well, but
the increase in the herd this year was
not as great as was hoped for.
Major Pitcher says it is of the great
est Importance that the boundary lines
of the park. in addition TO being sur
veyed. should be so thoroughly marked
- to render it impossible for anyone
10 cross the line without knowing that
ne has entered the reservation.

The story of the part Varilla took i'm
the Dreyfus case is an interesting one.
A dozen years ago Philippe Narilla set
out on an expedition 20 Central Africa.
Upon the eve of his departure he re-
celVcd letter from Dreyfus. who had
been one Of party of French engineers
TO explore the country Narilia Intended
TO visit. Dreyfus' letter was written with
the object of advising him of the charac-

Varila saw the importance Of the docu-
ment as a newspaper story and asked to
be allowed to take it Until the following
day. He carried the bOrdereau to his
home and compared it with the letter be
had received from Dreyfus on the eva
of his African journey. To his great
surprise there was not the least sim.
larity I'm the chirOgraphy. He carried the
two documents Co his brother, the editor
of lie Matin and the two became con-
WINGED that the bordereau was a forgery.

In response 20 this appeal Partisan

Matin with a number of letters written
by Colonel ESterhaZy. These letters were
compared with the writing of the bOT-
dereau and 10 was shown beyond question
