PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 1S.-Ihe crew
of the auxiliary cruiser Dixie, now lying
at the League Island Navy Yard. is in
a state Of suppressed revolt against the
commander of the ship, Greenlief A.

According to the statement Of one Of
the DiXie's petty officers yesterday.
enough men have deserted the cruiser
since Commander Merriam took charge
on November 4. 1908, to man two ships

Forty-one Seamen Under Guard.
As a result OF a wholesale attempt at
desertion on the last cruise Of the Dixie
along the Atlantic coast. forty-one sea-
men are now under guard at the island
awaiting court-martial.
II IS alleged that eighty-two sailors
deserted the ship while she was In the

and too inconsiderate i'm his treatment
even when he does not intend to infiict
punishment. The men assert that they

SOME RESULTS
Of The international Irrigation
 Congress.

NO man Tn the country so DIg, but what he would feel honored by being elected president of this Congress" These were the words uttered to the writer by c. B. Booth of Los Angeles after the election for the ensuing term of Governor Pardee of California. The very efficient chairman of this epochmaking congress was right. No man. inclusive the pre- sent president of the United States itself, were he at liberty, would re- fuse such an opportunity for hene- fitting his nation at large and his fellow citizens as is granted the right kind of man in that posi- tion. Indeed Theodore Roosevelt anay be credited with Illuminating that specific subject of statesman ship, as he has so many others in such manner that literally even if q man runs, he may read. In fact, it would appear that all our time saving appliances have been so astoundingly successful that only that which can be read while we run is read at all But 1t has actually come to pass in spite of the fact that all irrigation advocates in the East, and in great portions of the West itself, es
 pecially the West of the "Cattle Kings" up till ten years ago were considered q cross between q monkey and prehistoric pere- nniati. These same unclassihable -cranks' are now treated with res pect. their annual gatherings are being competed for between each of the wideawake cities from the Missouri to the Pacific. So highly esteemed have the irrigationists grown that a city famed in song and story for it's superabundance of water from the heavens above and the earth beneath and around 1t, namely Portland, Oregon, sent to El Paso an exceedingly able delegation and one of its most famous orators, who pleaded the cause of irrigation for the Will- amete valley so masterly that there was no gainsaying his plea.
 The Irrigation Congress goes to
 
 Portland next year without fail, though we were warned by the mayor of Boise City, Idaho, that our principal requirement for a so- iourn there would be gumboots To the old-time Western man, who has seen this movement pass every stage of ridicule and opposition, Iegalized obstruction, public indiff- erence, etc., there is some com pensation in witnessing it's triumphant success. Governor Pardee proved model presiding officer. He is most unique com pound. His presence embodies at once the winning traits of high class, scholarly gentleman of trans parent good will. He wears a black Prince Albert,' a spotless white tie; his smile is invisible benevolence in action--but his ruling from the Chair brooks no appeal, and in fact none was asked for. In all the intricacies of what, or what not of the previous ques- tion' he proved himself past master of every parliamentary procedure. It was decided stroke of good luck for the convention to obtain such leader for its International

through the construction 0f thls dam. But the good will and the lands restored to normal fertility will make the completed dam worth a hundred million dollars the very first year it is opened. Nor is this sort of storage work on the part of the United States gov ernrnent an experiment.. The writer has personally visited the very creditahle diversion dams erected by the United States gov ernment on the headwaters of the Mississippi. Their object is to con serve the flood waters of the mighty river when it is at it's height in early spring. As the $, mmer ad- vances the navigable division be- tween Saint Louis runs low Then the waters are let out and in less than a weeks time, the level is raised from nnnavigable to the opp posite and maintained at this all summer. This is in behalf of the steamboat traffic. On the Rio Grande there are only irrigation interests but as we have seen they reach very far. All aspects of the case were duly considered. The Mexican delegates proved them selves fully alive to what was going on. They were headed by such men as Governor Creel of Chihua- hua, Governor Ahumada of Jalisco, Inocente Ochoa, president of the Banco Minero.
 El Paso, Tex, Nov. IS, 1904
 The undersigned Mexican dele- gates to the Irrigation Congress, have had no time to make a com parison of the two projects to store the waters of the Rio Grande, the International dam project and the Elephant Butte dam project, but assume, for actual purposes, that the data given by Mir. Hall in his report read yesterday at conven- tion hall in regard to flow. sed- iment, evaporation, distances to bed rock, etc, are correct and that it is thoroughly practicable to bring to the site of the old Mexican dam, above El Paso, the water necessary for the areas that were previously irrigated, and that said quality of water will be given to Mexico, without cost, at that point, surveys to be made by the engin- eers of the United States reclama- tion service 10 determi the num- Der of acres upon the Mexican side of the Rio Grande which can be so irrigated, and surveys to be subject to the approval of the Mexican government.
 Under those considerations, the Mexican delegation endorses the Elephant Butte dam project, as explained by Mir. Hall, said en- dorsement to be subject to the ap- proyal of the Mexican government, as the delegates have no instruc- tions whatever, as stated yester- day at convention hall by the dele gate from Tlaxcala, ST.

 The above signers were members of special committee selected to frame the resolutions, approving the remarkable report submitted by Mir. NJ. Hall, U. $. Photographic engineer, who has made the Rio Grande river life study. Mr. Newell, Chief of the United States Photographic Service, presided while Mr. Hall compressed into less than two hours address the scientific results of years of study. All present realized the weight and the unimpeachable authority of the modest scientist before them, and felt grateful for the opportunity of giving him their unqualified en- dorsement.
 Thanks to the Stars and Stripes, Empire" has indeed com Westward. But little did the scholar and writer, Berkely, over in moist England, realize the literal truth of his now immortal saying. The vanished empires of the far East were glorious in their day because of the water led on to their great valley basins. They are only names now, these ancient grand CUTS of Assyria, Phoenicia, Egypt. Macedonia, etc., because the fruit of the land and fatness thereof, were first of all for the kings and the oracles. At last the people have come into their own. The irriga- ble West holds material, moral and intellectual possibilities in its fold of destiny that has not yet dawned on the consciousness of our nation at large. II have seen landscapes" said Livingstone, after his first re- turn from Africa, lover which 1t | seemed as if an angel had brought them into existence through smile" The possibilities of inher- ent haryests in our irrigable val leys seems indeed like visit from invisible fairies lowering the land with beauty and abundance.
 But stern work is before all who believe in the realization of the magnificent prospect. The very first duty at hand is to support the present national administration in it's great and indispensable effort to protect the watershed of our rivers from further destruction. In Arizona that cooperation comes or must come in the substitution of other method of herding sheep on the range than which now pre- vails. Twenty odd years ago that wondrous interpretator of Mother Natures secrets, John Muir, of California, called the sheep in the Sierra Nevada forests the horned locusts of destruction" They are even more so in Arizona and So- nora. Witness the Santa Cruz valley. Substitute alfalfa meadows and all be we'll. more especially for the sheep owner.

When the contract for the new hose

and was unanimously passed.
1t was to be bought by tho special

Mr.. Stacey sent for the representa-

He then took the contract to the

signature the wagon cannot be Dur-
chased and the motion is useless.
