THE IRRIGATION TRIUMPH

Saturda ylast was stupendOuS day
ion Of the great irrigation system in
which the government has expended
some three millions of dollars.
The vast work was completed in
the best possible manner under the
supervision of Engineer Taylor and
the government has received the full
worth of its money and the vast I'M
dertaking completed without graft or
scandal.
The concrete dams are built to last
century and the completeness
of the workmanship elected admi-
ration and praise for all who were
present to witness the initial turning
the diverting ditch. In less than
three minutes after the signal was
given the machinery of the dam, work
ing by hand lifted the entire river
into the diverting canal and it's bed
was dry below the dam.
There are miles of concrete ditch
and tunnels and spill ways and ap-
planes for handling water which
would astonish the Egyptians who did
the same thing with the Nile six
thousand years ago, but with crudcr
appliances.
At the banquet which followed the
successful Inauguration of the under
taking the Senators and Congressman
of the Committee with one accord
gave Frances G. Newlands the credit
for having for six years fought the
great battle which won the victory fo-
the arid west. Mr.. Newlands in his
speech was broad enought to admit
however that but for President Roose-
welt forcing members of his own party
into line, that no legislation on that
subject would have been enacted.
The credit belongs to Newlands and
Roosevelt and this being an admitted
fact it is about time to drop the politi.

If the prominent member of Con.
gress in both parties give Senator New
lands the credit, it i'll becomes any
man in Nevada. or any newspaper
to attempt to rob him of it.
He has performed task fraught
with the greatest benefit to future gen

and the citizens of Nevada should give

position and redicule and he has won

great deal of hard work.

GOVERNMENT AUTO ROAD.
Seven Miles of New Jersey for Exclus-

Nv York, June 29.-Seven miles of
broad automobile road is to be the
latest investment OF Uncle Sam. II Is
to run from the point of Sandy Hook
through the government reservation
south to Highland Beach. under the
Navesink Light, and will be used ex-
clusively by army officers and their
friends. Bids for the construction of
the road are to be opened at noon
today at Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook,
by Quartermaster Abe S. Bickham.
The road will have a minimum width
of Is feet and will parallel the New
Jersey coast. 1t will connect with the
broader county road that runs from
Highland Beach to Seabright.
None of the officials at Fort Han
cock would admit yesterday that the
proposed seven-mile road is intended
for automobiling but road builder
who applied for specifications was told
that the road must have special quail
ties for automobile travelling.

COST OF LIVING HIGHER.
Increase in Last Four Years Is Indeed
Startling.

The price of fuel, clothing and
practically all food products are con-
stantly increasing, according to a bull
letin issued by the bureau OF labor
covering the period from 1890 to 1904.
In the early nineties prices were
very high, but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing
until now they are relatively higher
than in 1892, Just before the memoir

sion. The average increase in 1904
in the wholesale price of farm prod
ucts over the average for the years
1890 and 1899 is 26.2 per cent.
OF So articles included under tho
head of food It is shown that in 1904
the prices of all but IA articles were
higher than the average prices from
1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head OF

was especially encouraged by the out
look for future success in the far
west.
After the opening prayer the Of
ficial call for the gathering was read.
This was in part as follows:
A government of men and women
not by women alone, not by men
alone, but a government of men and
women, by men and women, for men
and women-this is the aim and ideal
of our association. One hundred
years ago Oregon was an untrodden
wilderness The transformation of
that primeval territory into prosper
Gus communities. enjoying the high
est degree of civilization, could not
have been accomplished without the
work of woman. No restriction should
be placed upon energies and abilities
so potent for good. The extension
of the right of suffrage would remove
handicap from the efforts of women
and give them an opportunity to work
for the welfare of the state.
I'VE do not claim that woman's
voice in the government would at
once sound the death knell to all
social and political evils. But we do
believe that a government represent
ing the interests and beliefs of women
and men would prove itself, and is
proving itself, where 1t now exists,
to be a better government than one
which represents the interests and
beliefs of men alone. The movement
for the enfranchisement of women is
based upon the unchanging and un-
changeable principles of human lib
erty, in accordance with which sue
cessive classes of men have won the
right of self-government.
ION such a foundation ultimate
J victory is assured-and, in truth, is
conceded, even by those who oppose.
The day is ever drawing nearer when
the nation will apply to women the
| principles which are the very foun-
| datlons of its existence; when, on
every election day, there will be re-
affirmed the immortal truths Of our
! declaration of American independ-
ence. Then indeed will this be just
government, deriving its powers from
the consent of the governed"
The remainder Of the opening ses-
sion was devoted chiefly to the APP
pointment of fthe necessary commit
tees, the reception Of reports from Of
ficers and other business of a per-
functory character. The convention
is to continue for one week, during
which time there will be addresses by
number Of men and women of ma
tional prominence. The afternoon
and evening sessions each day are
to be opened to the public at large.
Executive sessions will occupy the
