FEDERATION Is
NOT SOClALISTIC
Rabid Resolutions 0verwheIm-
ingly Defeated.
PEACE ONCE MORE REIGNs
HEALING BALM POURED UPON
MONDAYS WOUNDS.


San Francisco Nov. 22-DisDutes re-
garding trade jurisdiction occupied most
of the time of the delegates to the
American Federation of Labor in todays
session. There was e ripple of yester-
days exciting proceedings when. upon
the opening of the session, two resOlu-
tons. introducing Delegate Victor Ber-
ger, leader of the Socialists, were pre-
scented for consideration One of these
provides for the abolition OF the militia
as IL now exists in the United States,
and the substitution of the Swiss sys-
TEN. The convention Overwhelmingly de-
feated the measure.
The second socialistic resolution asked
the federation TO go on record as being
IN favor OF petitioning congress to pass
q bill providing for an old age pension
for worklngmen. This measure was also
defeated.
The convention ACCORDED Delegate Vic
tor Berger the floor, Under a suspension
of the rules that he might make a state
ment regarding the aspersions cast by
the contents of a printed slip from his
newspaper office upon Samuel Gompers
and John Mitchell.
Authorship Denied.
Healing balm was poured on the wounds
when Mr.. Berger stated that not only
did he deny the authorship of the slip
lnferring that Samuel Gompers and John
Mitchell had been traitors to the cause
Of labor but stated that he knew nothing
about the charges and was not in SYM
PATTY with the same. and regretted the
incident that caused the tIl-feeIinG OF
yesterday.
John Mitchell thereupon arose and
asked to have stricken from the records
the statements made by him TO the eff
rect that unless Mr.. Berger proved his
charges he must stand before the con-
vention stamped as a liar.
The convention gave its unanimous
consent to this procedure amid ap-
plause and so ended the bitterest con-
troversy yet waged on the floor of the
convention.
A great number Of resolutions re-
garding trade jurisdiction were intro
duced and debated upon. In but few
instances were agreements reached.
Disputes Referred.
The most bitter fight was waged over
the differences between the boilermak-
ers and the structural iron workers.
The matter was finally compromised.
A score Of other disputes between the
crafts were referred to the executive
council for final adjustment. The dis
putes in each instance pertained to de-
filming classifications of occupations.
The woodworkers and painters both
claimed jurisdiction over finishers, but
the grievance committee sided with the
woodwOrkers. The committee was
Overruled by the vote of the conven-
ton. In like manner the upholstererS
were given jurisdiction over the carpet
layers and mattress makers and the
blacksmiths over men of their craft
working with wagonworkers.
1t is believed that these trade juris-
dietion disputes will occupy most of
the time of the remainder of the ses-
sion.

SETTLED DOWN
INTO MAN HUNT
No Clue in the Murder Case of
Chauffeur Bate.
OFFICERS LOOKING FOR DOVE
COMPLETE DISAPPEARANCE OF
ALLEGED SLAYER.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-No clues devel-
oped today in the murder case of
Chauffeur Bate, who was killed three
days ago. The officers are still seek
ing diligently for MIR. Dove the
man who hired the automobile. but
apparently have not succeeded in gain
ing any knowledge of his Whereabouts.
The case has settled down to a man
hunt, with few facts upon which the
search can be directed. John Henness.
the young man who last night and this
morning was thought TO have valuable
information regarding the murder, has
announced that he knows nothing of il.
He was credited with statements to the
erect that he had seen the murder:
that he had seen the flash of the re-
VoIVer, and heard the shots that took
the life OF Bate, but tonight he de-
clared he had seen none of these, and
said he had not seen them. He said
be observed an automobile pass along
the road that. night, and that was the
extent OF his information.
Reports Of the capture of the muir
derer today at a small station near
Minooka proved groundless. On a
superstition that Dove" may have
committed suicide when he left the
boarding house where the last trace of
him was found, a careful search of the
Fox river in the immediate vicinity
Will be instituted.

Los Anceles' Wants.

The trouble with Los Angeles, says
the Los Angeles Times, is that we
want so many things, and we want
them all at once-good telephone ser
vice, more shade, clean streets, more
paved streets, wires of all kinds TN
derground, bigger water mains, more
school houses, another sewer to the
sea, no third rail in the streets, a
convenient hall, a speed ordinance
that is strictly enforced, fewer sa-

home with him last week a splen-
did sample of the tall meadow oat
grass, which is now on exhibition
in his office.
son the foothills between George
town and Montpelier he has sue
ceeded in growing 55 acres OF
meadow grass without a drop of
water. We are satisfied that where
ever the rye grass has grown the
tall meadow oat grass and Bronze
grass will also grow. DIR. Hoover
has discovered that the secret lies
in properly preparing the land and
using good judgment in planting
the seed.
Il do not believe the tall mead
ow oat grass will grow in all parts
of Idaho but it will certainly thrive
wherever the rye grass has grown.
This is great news for the stock
growers and farmers of the state,
and We feel sure others can do
qnite as well as DIR. Hoover has
done if they persevere intelligent

MEADOW OAT GRASS
Experiments Indicate That 1t can be
Readily Grown on Arid Land
Without Irrigation.

As the result of FIVE years OF con-
stant experiment, DIR. G. A. Hoover
of Montpelier has, in the opinion
of competent authorities, succeeded
in finding grass which can be
grown in the arid regions without
the aid of irrigation, Says an ex-
change, and which, it il confident
ly believed, will prove OF inestim-
able value to wool growers and
stock raisers. The grass is known
as the tall meadow oat grass and
can, it is asserted, be grown wher-
ever wild rye grass hourishes
The oat grass is said to be more
nutritious that timothy, and DR..
Hoover succeeded last season in
harvesting between one and two
tons to the acre on land as dry as
bone.
DIR. Hoover began his expert
ments some five years ago with
fescue, alfalfa, Esperset's rye,
Bronze grass and other varieties.
He finally succeeded in raising
Bronze grass (Russian) on unirri-
gated land. This grass, while max
ing a good stand, does not grow
high enough in Bear Lake county
to make hay. The tall meadow
oat grass, however, grew to height
of three and four feet and yielded |
handsomely.
The greatest difficulty expert
enc-d by DR.. Hoover was in getting
an even stand of either the Bronze
or tall meadow oat grass Anotwith-
standing that it pe55bPagates from
the rootlets, every joint throwing
up new stkals.
In seeding DR.. Hoover found that
the seeds were so light cased and
fluffy that he could not get an even
stand. After preparing the soil by
ieep plowing and narrowing he
raised crop OF rye. Next year
ne crossed plowed the land seeded
t in the fall and narrowed it twice.
The grass then came up in punches,
,ut was not very thick. The doc
or let the crop stand until the
eed shelled out and the wind carr I
led it evenly over the soil. After
he seed had dropped and been
distributed, the grass was cut and
he land disced and narrowed in
he fall. Next spring the grass !
rev up thickly and averaged from
ne to two tons to the acre on the s
5 acres under cultivation. The
rass should be cut IN the blossom c
,r hay. !
From the product of the 55 acres
own, DR.. Hoover is now feeding /
26 head of cattle and 20 horses, :
nd he expects to have 80 or so
ms OF hay left over in the spring.

HOLLISTER WON CASE

Supreme Court.

in the condemnation case of H. |
Hollister, respondent, VS.. w. A
Clark ct al, appellants, says tn
Boise Statesman.
This is the second branch OF tn
case brought by Hollister to con
denim a site for a power plant a
Shoshone Falls on the north sid,
of Snake river in section 36, belong
ing to the state. The case wa.
brought against the state and w
A. Clark and others, the latter
owning section 81, Immediately
east Of So. The state answered
but the other defendants defaulted
The case went to trial and judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff,
the state being awarded a few
hundred dollars damages. The
state appealed and the judgment
was affirmed Afterward the other
defendants appealed from the judg
ment against them by default.
A peculiar condition respecting
surveys exists at that point. What
is said to be the southeast corner
OF section 36 has been found on the
south side OF the river Immediate
ly back of the hotel. A line run
ming northward from that corner
would bisect the falls and run east
of certain rocks on the north side
of the river above the falls, which
the plaintiffs have been granted
authority to use in connection with
the construction of a light dam for
the purpose of diverting the water
into the head of the tunnel they
are constructing for power pur-
poses. On the north side of the
river, however, the section corners,
so nearly as can be determined,
are several hundred feet west of
the point where they should be To-
Gated. This makes the east line OF |
section 36 cross the river below the
falls, passing just east of the Hol-
lister power house site. Thus there
is created a contest as to the own
ership of triangular piece of land
through which the power tunnel
partially runs and in which the
dam above the falls will
be located.
In the trial of the case the site
of the proposed dam was indicated
IN map filed as an exhibit, this
'eing made part OF the complaint.
The case on appeal that has Just
'een decided turned entirely upon
his portion of the complaint. The

MORE POSSIBILITIES
Great Opportunities for Power De-
veIopment In Connection With
Irrigation Reservoirs.

conclusions by the United States
reclamation service involve some
. features not observed by the people
generally, says the Spokane Re
view. Chief of these is the posi-
bility of extensive development o.
power in connection with the stor-
age OF water in large reservoirs OF
the diversion OF streams into canal
systems.
Many immense dams are to be
built, some of them 200 feet or
more in height, and when water
for irrigation is drawn from the
great artificial lakes so produced,
an enormous amount Of water pow
er becomes available. 1t is pro-
posed to erect power plants at many
localities and transmit the power
electrically over distances aggre-
eating hundreds of miles to other
localities where the power can be
utilized for pumping water from
deep wells for irrigation and do
mestic purposes.
Thus the water which is impound-
ed in the reservoirs and diverted
from the streams is made to perform
double duty; primarily, by its di-
rect application to the irrigation of
land, and incidentally, by furnish
ing the power for lifting from un-
derground sources additional wa
ter supplies.
The construction of these great
irrigation works requires the use of
much machinery and the trans
portation of large quantities OF ma
terials. Usually this construction
work has to be carried on in places
remote from railroads and other
bases of supplies, where the cost of
labor, teams and fuel is abnormally |
high. To meet this condition pow
er is frequently obtained from a
stream close at hand by means of
temporary dams, power canals, ETC.,
and applied to the work Of excava-
ting, quarrying, hoisting, hauling,
and lighting Thus many short
electric railroads will be construct
eb between the great irrigation
works and the nearest railroad sta
tions, which will be useful when
the construction work is completed
for affording easy access to the
works.
Whatever power, in excess of
hat required for pumping purposes
S obtainable from the national
works OF irrigation may serve for
'perating street railways and cleo /,
ric lighting in the communities
which have grown up as the result
# the governments work in supply
ng water to lands previously un-
These great works :
yill, after the lapse of limited :
ime and upon the return to the
overnment of the money expend- !.
d on construction, become the pro- =
erty of these communities, and
nv revenue derived from the sale Q
power obtained in the process of
soring and distributing irrigation,
ater would serve to Offset in part ft
he operating expenses of the irri- Il
alton system. a
Since these reservoirs frequently ol
ust be built far up in the noun b
.ins near the headwaters of streams Of
will often happen that power can tt
} advantageously supplied to ad- IL
cent mines where power is espec- ell
lly valuable on account of the pl
.fficult;es in transportation of fuel gr

however, that the beef thus obtained
