THE GOVERNOR
Pardee VIII Be Elected to
the Presidency of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress

Ell PASO, Nov. 1.-THE third day of
the National Irrigation Congress was
marked by the reading Of number of
interesting papers in the various sec
tion meetings in the morning, a re-
ception in the afternoon in the sister
city of Juarez, Mexico, by Governor
Enrique Creel of Chihuahua, the wit
Messing of a bull fight in Juarez after
the reception, and the selection of the
next meeting place and the adoption
of many important resolutions tonight
During the day Senator Newlands of
Nevada and William L. Smythe of
California withdrew from the race for

The committee on permanent organi-
zation tonight recommended that the
following officers be chosen for the en-
suing year Governor George c. Par
dee of California, for president; Judge

dent; Congressman j. II. Stephens,
second vice president; Hon. e. l..
Smith of Oregon, third vice president.

tions and the big ball at night in the
convention hall will close the twelfth
national congress.
Texas. New Mexico and Mexico occu-
pied the attention of the delegates to-
day with their fight over a dam for
storing the flood waters of the Rio
Grande. Texas. and Mexico advocated
the construction of dam at FL Paso,
and Government engineers approved
the plan of New Mexico for a dam at
Elephant Butte. The Elephant Butte
site was selected and work probably
will be commenced soon. The new dam
will serve to reclaim 10000 acres of
land in New Mexico, Texas and Mexi-
co above and around Ell Paso.
At a reception in Mexico this after
noon addresses were delivered by Gov
ernor Creel and President lark of the
National Irrigation Assoc ttion

next meeting place of the congress, on
the first ballot, after two hours of
speech making. Boise, Idaho, was the
only competitor. Boise and Los An
geles both gave notice that they would
ask for the convention the following
year.

great delibe1ation and in measured
tones. Some account of what the Brit

Delegate .Driscoll reported concern
ing his visit TO the thirty-seVenth annu
al trade union congress of Great Brit
ain, that was held in the Town Hall
at Leeds in September. There were 453
delegates present, who represented 212
societies. Lady Dixie, the Countess of
Warwick Sir John Cant, NJ. p; John
Burnett of the Labor Department of
the Board Of Trade; the Lord Mayor of
Leeds and his wife were on the plat
form. A resolution calling for compul-
sorry arbitration was defeated by
large majority.
1t is now probable that the question
of Endorsement of socialism is some
form will go before the convention. Res
olutions were submitted for consider
alton to the committee on resolutions
yesterday by Victor L. Berger. a dele
gate from the Typographical union.
Resolutions have been approved by the
committee on resolutions favoring a
bill to prevent carelessness in handling

gagements at the various theaters.
Groups of the visiting delegates paid
fIaternal visits to the stationary
building last night.
The meeting of the Building Trades
| Council last night was short and no
| important business was transacted.
The brief session was owing to the
enormous amount of executive work
heaped upon both President P. H. Nc
Carthy and Secretary Tveitmoe dur
ing the past three days. At the next
meeting of the council on Thursday
evening a reception will be rendered to
all of the visiting delegates who may
see fit to attend

HEATHSyILLE, VA, July 2.-Much
damage has been done to the tomato crop
in this section this year by the potato
bug, a small insect little larger than q
ny. The insects have been known to
destroy a large number of vines In Il
few hours, Many preparations for kill
ing them have been used by the truck
/ ers, but the only way to rid the vines
OF them seems to be to pick them or
and burn them each day, In fargo field
this is almost an impossible task. Until
this year the little insects. which seem
10 increase each year. have confined
themselves to the Irish potato vine, from
which fact they gained their name. Paris
green has always been used heretofore.
and has been very effective, killing the
insects almost as soon as applied. On the
tomato vine, however. this remedy cannot
be safely used for fear of the poison en-
tering the young tomatoes. 1t takes the
bugs only short while to destroy amer
tire crop, so that the farmers have to
DO constantly on the outlook for them.
CANNING CHERRIES.
Tho canning factories in the Northern
Neck have been opened up and are
canning cherries. This is tho first time
that the factories Of this section have
ever attempted to can cherries. ana y

Therefore thousands OF bushels q cherries
have been left on the trees for the BIRDS
and to rot. Now they are bringing good
money to those who choose 70 pick them.
The canning factories are also pre-
pairing to can blackberrIes on a largo
scale. This experiment has been tried,
before In a small way, and has been
found to pay very well,
