National Irrigation congress was
called to order today by Senator Will
liam A. Clark of Montana, it's presi
dent. The attendance was fully up tc
expectations. The city is everywhere
decorated with American flags. Music
is furnished by Mexican bands, in.
Guiding n specially rendered by
President Diaz.
The morning session was devoted to
addresses OF welcome and responses
thereto. Congressman w. r. Smith
of the Sixteenth Texas district ex-
tended a welcome on behalf OF the
state. W. B. Philips spoke for the
state university and Captain r. J.
Beall for the city. Responses were
made by Clifford Pinchont of the
United States geological survey, W. G.
johnson of Denver, C. A. Carlisle OF
South Bend, Ind, and l. L. Smith OF
Hood River, Ore.
Senator Newlands Of Nevada, Gov
sernor Pardee of California and Cover
nor Morrison of Idaho also delivered
addresses at the morning session.
This afternoon President Clark de-
|livered his annual address,. He spoke
nm part as follows:
Active operations for the construc.
tion of dams and canals and other
improvements are now going on in
Arizona, Nevada and Idaho. For
other projects, in California, Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana, available
sites have been selected and adopted,
estimates are being made and con-
III acts will be let in the near future.
In all Of these cases sums have been
tset aside ranging from $2,225,O 900 to
5 8 1000, 900 to carry on the work when
the contracts are completed.
To Prevent Fraud.
I'm order to prevent private appro-
priation of land and water rights by
SPECTATORS in localities which seem
to be applicable to the provisions OF
the law the department of the interior
has withdrawn from entry large areas
OF land in the several states and ter
%ritories, amounting to 43, 500, 900 acres,
OF which some 100000 acres have
been found to be inanplicable and re-
stored to the public domain. The to-
tai amount of land available for irriga-
ton has been variously estimated to
be from 50,OO0,0O to $4,000, 900 acres,
which, when made productive, will
sustain a population of from 20, OOO, 900
to 5 5000, 900 people.
las the government cannot proceed
until titles are properly vested in it, it
is evident that rapid progress in every
locality cannot be expected. The work
Is being prosecuted in 13 states and
three territories, and all possible pro-
jects are being examined. Some OF
them which upon the surface seem
easy and feasible are found upon care
ful examination to be entirely imprac-
ticable and their abandonment gives
rise to disappointment and adverse
criticism, which is entirely unjusti-
fable.
To Reimburse Government.
"The reclamation fund will be re-
imbursed for every dollar expended in
the course of time by the settler for
the price of land to which he acquires
title and the cost of improvements
which shall be assessed to him. No
returns a be expected for so>e
years to come, and under the 1O-year
installment plan the reimbursements

AuToMoBILE LEGISLATION.

The result Of the suit by two men, who
were injured near Middlebury, against
two automobile drivers whose machine
was the cause OF smash-up of their We
hlele and injury to themselves, will be
watched with interest by antomobilists
and drivers Of teams as well. II the plain
tin gets damages from the autoists II will
form precedent for action In other parts
Of the state. But It is understood that in
this particular case the defendants have q
fairly strong case, they claiming that they
needed the s.raised hand warning ofsone
Of the two men IN the team and stopped
their machine 90 feet away. They further
claim that the accident was largely the
fault Of the driver Of the animals, who
showed poor ability to manage his team
The defendants further showed their dis
position to settle damages by going to The
lyeryman in Middlebury OF whom the
team had been engaged, and volunteering
to pay the damages TO the horses and We
hlcle and satisfactory agreement was
reached.
Coming at this time the suit VIII have
an important bearing on the automobile IN
Vermont, as the state legislature conyenes
in seven weeks, at which session measures
win be taken for further restricting auto
mobile driving. Particularly'the farmers
are interested in this movement as Is
shown by a glance at our news columns
today The Farmers league has agreed
upon several matters to bring before the
session Of 1904, and in the list is one re-
curing the licensing Of autos and their
restriction to certain thoroughgares Inc
