FL Paso, Tex. Nov 15.-The 18th
National Irrigation Congress was call
ed to order this morning by Senator
William A. Clark of Montana, presi-
dent of the Congress. The morning
session was occupied with addresses
of welcome and responses. The ses-
sions will be continued this afternoon
and evening. The city is lavishly dec
Grated and the attendance fully up to
expectations
Following is in part the speech of
of Senator Clark, president of the Ir-
rigation Congress:
Active operations for the constrllc
tion of dams and canals and other
improvements are now going ON in
Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho. For 9th
er projects in California, Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana available sites
have been selected and adopted, esti-
mates are being made and contracts
will be let in the near future. In all
these cases sums have been set aside
ranging from two and quarter to
three million dollars to carry on the
work when the contracts are compiet-
ed In order to prevent private ap-
by spectators in localities which
seem to be applicable to the proyis-
ions of the law, the Department Of
the Interior has withdrawn from en-
try large areas of land in several
states and territories amounting to
forty-three and a half million acres,
ions have been restored to the pub
lie domain. The total amount of land
available for irrigation has been var
iously estimated from fifty to sixty
million acres, which when made pro-
ductive by irrigation will sustain u
population of from twenty to twenty
five million people. AS the govern
ment cannot proceed until all titles
are properly vested in it, it is evident
that rapid progress in every locality
cannot be expected.
Work is being prosecuted in thir-
teen states and territories. and all
possible projects are being examined.
Some of them which on the surface
appear easy and feasible are found
upon careful examination entirely I'M
practicable and their abandonment
gives rise to disappointment and ad-
verse criticism which is entirely IN
justifiable.
THE reclamation fund will be re-
imbursed for every dollar in course
of time by the settlers, for the price
of the land to which they acquire IL
tie and the cost of improvement that
are assessed against the land. No
returns can be expected for some
years to come. and under the ten
year installment plan the reimburse
ment will be slow. After ten years
the receipts will be very large and
they may be re-invested in new ina
proyements. In the mean time the
aid OF the government should be in
voked. Sufhcient has already been &C

COURT UPHOLDS
Hill s PROPOSALS
Application to Restrain Distribu-
ton Of Merger Stock Is
Dismissed.

New York, April 19.-Vice Chan
cellor Bergen in Jersey City dismissed
the application for an injunction
against the Northern Securities COM
pany and the distribution OF stock,
and he sustained the Northern Securi-
ties contention that the suit was un-
warranted.
The suit was brought to secure a.
restraining order against the an.
nounced method of distribution of that
conpany's holdings of Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad stocks.
Vice Chancellor Bergen stated that
there was no question of the right Of
the Northern Securities company to
reduce it's capital stock, which action
was conceded to be legitimate; that no
proof had been presented that the
proposed method of distribution Of
the stocks would be an injury to the
complainants; that the decision Of the
and Of the United States supreme
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railroad stock or describe any
method for their distribution, but that
the decree simply prevented the
Northern Securities company from
getting any benefit from the holding
of those stocks; that the stocks of
those railroads are actual assets Of the
Northern Securities company and may
therefore be distributed to stockhoId-
ers, as in the opinion Of the court their
sale in the market would be a tremen-
dous injury to the public welfare; and
that the method adopted and hereto
fore announced for such stock distri-
button is perfectly fair. ~

IKNUTE USES CUSS
WORD In SENATE
SENATOR'S Zeal In Advocacy Leads
to a Break in His
.,t,. Language.

Washington, April 19.-During the
discussion Of the army appropriation
bill in the senate yesterday Senator
Nelson of Minnesota predicted that
within the next generation Alaska
would have a population Of l,OO0,0 900.
j. Mr.. Nelson related many details OF
his observation in Alaska while visit
ing the country as q member OF the
senate committee, and he aroused
much interest as he told of its re-
sources, the hardshfps to which the
settlers are subjected, and the little
that had been done for the people.
He grew especially jealous in his
presentation of the production Of pre-
cious metals, furs, ETC., and his zeal IN
this connection was scarcely exceeded
by the indignation he exhibited as he
depicted the niggardliness OF the gov
eminent in dealing with the Alaskans.
At last, completely forgetting him
self, he exclaimed: ''All this they
have done, Mr.. President, and in re-
turn we have not done a ID
thing for them.
The statement was a surprise to all
present, apparently as much to the
speaker as to his audience. There
seldom has been as spontaneous an
outburst Of laughter in the senate as
the exclamation provoked.
Mr.. Teller asserted that If 100000
could be spent in the building Of roads
in Alaska there would be a rich return
in the increase of gold production.
Messrs. Proctor and Quarles said
that it had been impossible to secure
more than $250,O0O from the house
conferees and the bill was laid over.

STRIKERS AT RED

Coal Miners Return to Work on
Assurances Made by General
Manager Horn.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Red Lodge, Mont, April 19.-After
being out more than a week, 900 coal
miners, employed by the Northwest
ern Improvement company, returned
to work this morning.
The trouble arose in the selection
of a check weighmaster, an official
who weighs the coal as it comes to the
surface. The union, following it's
usual CUSTOM, elected one of it's men,
bers for the position and to this selec-
ton the company objected, insisting
that it make the selection.
H. J. Horn, general manager of the
Northern Pacific, sent, a telegram
yesterday stating that the company
was prepared for a long shutdown If
necessary. In another he urged that
the men return to work and assured
the union that the matter would be
taken up by proper officials. The
unionists agreed to this, but assert
that unless the matter is settled
satisfactorily this week they would
again go out.
