ESTIMATES OF
DAMAGE BY FROST

Denver. Sept. 2l-Tke Republicans
correspondent at Rocky Ford tale
graphs that the part Of the cantaloupe
crop still on the vines is almost total
loss. Over one-half of the orders for
crates have been cancelled. The seed
buyers loss. while very heavy, will
not be so great as that of the shippers,
for some of the melons thar will not
do to ship are still good for seed, but
as many cantaloupes are small and
green and in others tho seed has ger
minated, the loss will be very heavy
with these dealers also.
A La Junta correspondent says that
while the frost did much damage the
first reports were overestimated. All
the vines were frozen and this retard-
ed the ripening of the cantaloupes
that are not matured. The loss from
this source is placed now at from 80
to so per cent. Garden stuff was
ruined and the fruit injured slightly.
A Greeley dispstch says that a con-
servative estimate of the damage done
to the potato crop by the heavy freeze
of the first part of the week is that
between $500 and 5000 carloads have
been ruined. This amounts to be-
tween % and 80 per cent, or from
5 to 20 sacks to the acre. The districts
that suffered heaviest are those visit
ed by the terrific hailstorm of a month
ago. The onions were not injured as
they were all ready to be pulled and

IRRIGATION CONGRESS ADOPTS
COMPROMISE LAND LAW REPORT

Ogden. Utah. Sept lo.-The eleventh
National Irrigation Congress came to
An end late yesterday afternoon. II re-
elected Senator ". 4. Clark OF Mon
tana president. and decided to bold the
congress IN 1904 in FL Paso, and
adopted a platform which requested
congress to make needed notifications
In the existing land laws IN order that
speculation and monopoly OF public
domain be prevented.
The great fight Of the congress came
up this afternoon when the report OF
tho committee on resolutions was
made. Over the adoption or rejection
Of the clauses of the majority report re-
Quesung that Congress repeal the de-
sert land act. the timber and stone act
and the commutation clause OF the
homestead act, occurred debate Of
four hours duration, exceedingly bit
ter at times. and participated in by
some OF the most prominent men IN
the work Of irrigation. The opposition
to the National Irrigation Congress
committing itself in any such manner
Was led by former Senator Carey Of
Wyoming. Congressman Mondell sof
"yOlElup anu congressman SudIIolu
OF Colorado and when substitute for
these provisions Of the majority report
was offered BY Congressman Needham
of California, simply requesting Con-
gress to modify the land laws. the
whole strength OF the opposition was
thrown in its favor The result is re-
garded by them as decided victory in
that the national body of irrigatiCnists
did not come out In direct opposition to
the laws they SO strongly defended.
The majority report urges the imn,e-
date and absolute repeal OF the desert
land act. the Communication clause Of the
homestead act. the timber and stone
act and the lieu provision of the forest
reserve act, and the purchase or con-
demnation of private lands within for
est reservations. 1t urges the ezten-
sion of tho forest reserve act and that
the forest work be concentrated in the
hands Of the Bureau of Forestry OF the
Agricultural Department. The report
urges the conservation Of the food wa
ters Of the Columbia, Sacramento. Col
oado. Rio Grande. Arkansas and Mis-
souri, rivers, and their tributaries, and
the subsequent extension OF the vast
irrigation projects. 1t recommends the
appointment of a committee by the
President to investigate and report

1000 people had gathered in front of

TO INVESTIGATE
ELECTION FRAUDS

Denver. Sept. 19.-Yesterday Judge
Malone Of the District Court ordered
grand jury summoned for Friday to in
vestigate the alleged registration
frauds and any crimes that may be
committed against the ballot on cleo
ton day. This order was made in re-
sponse to a petition accompanied by
affldavits, filed by the charter cam
paign committee alleging that the reg
istration books had been padded to an
alarming extent, and that conspiracy
existed to steal the election against the
charter.
In his finding on the petition, Judge
Malone says:
This court thoroughly agrees with
! the remarks of one of the petitioners.
that because election frauds and
wrongs have been allowed to go unre-
buked and unpunished in the past, is
no reason why such frauds and wrongs
should be now perpetrated or encour-
aged, or why the wrong-doers should
longer go uuwhippcd of justice, This
court will try and not be imposed up-
On or be used to impose upon others.
, but can be counted upon to do its duty
to the limit of its wisdom and power,
The court will, therefore, make an
order that grand jury be drawn, re-
turnable one week from to-day, at 10
O'Clock, to consider such matters as
may then or thereafter be lawfully pre-
scnted for its consideration.
The petitioners and all other per-
sons may then present to the district
attorney. or to the court. any evidence
they may have to offer"

news of their arrival in the town soon

tions. The small squad of infantry was
powerless to keep the streets clear.

New York. Sept. 10, 19C3.-To the
Denver Republican: Answering the
Republicans inquiry, It seems to mo
that every obligation of good citizen
ship demands approval of the new

mirable and in no way hostile to any

great expense and injury to Denver's
