Boise. Ida. Sept. 4.-Utah will not
win the Clark cup. One reason is that
the Idaho people maintain that there
were no conditions attached by Senator
Clark to the gift of the cup requiring
II to be won more than once. They in
sist that they have won IL, and that IL
Is theirs. The executive committee ap-
pears to coincide and the silver cup
will not be given for the grand prize in
the fruit exhibit. A. f. Hit, horticulS
tura1 inspector for the state OF Idaho:
DR.. Blalock of Walla Walla, and o. r.
Ballou of Union, Ore, began the judg-
ing of the fruit today, but have not
completed their work. 1t will probably
be late tomorrow before the result will
be announced Members of the Utah
delegation remain exceedingly sanguine
OF winning the state prize, despite the
magnificence of the Idaho display.
KIeseI for President.
Fred ]. Kiesel of Ogden stands an ad-
mirable chance of being elected presi-
dent of the congress. He is what is
known in politics as a receptive candi-
date and, while preferring not to be
burdened with the duties of the posi-
ton, would accept the honor should the
congress decide on him. Senator Thorn
as II. Carter OF Montana and Governor
Mead of washington both have small
booms far the place. and the Oregon
delegation today formally endorsed
Governor Chamberlain. Frank Goudy
of Denver and Governor Pardee of Cal
ifornia are also mentioned. Bozeman
drew out Of the contest for the next
congress today, and Las Vegas. n. NJ
began a lively campaign. The ballot
on the place of meeting will come on
Thursday, and II is believed tonight
that Sacramento will win. The actual
campaign viii begin in earnest tomor-
row.
Common Sense Speech.
Fred ]. Kiesel today in the course of
an extemporaneous speech on "One
Hundred Million Dollars for Reclama-
ton" put Washington, D. c., in nom
ination in a speech that bristled with
wi. and hard common sense. It is not
believed that Mr.. Kiese1 really expects
Washington to be selected. It is more
probable that he is endeavoring to at
tract the attention of the country to
the need of another appropriation or
loan for the many great projects that
should be undertaken. He said he was
credited with the honor of originating
the congress slogan, I'VE are coming.
Father Teddy for 800 600 900 more. -
He said the sum of 800. 600 600 was not
absolute, and he might be willing TO
haggle about the amount if It became
necessary. THE sum-" he said, while
# may appear large, is not so when the
results to be accomplished are consid-
cred There are twenty-three govern
ment reclamation projects and about
$40, 600 600 has been raised for these.
largely from sales of public lands II
is estimated that it will require S55.-
C00,0O additional to carry the projects
TO completion. Some of the timid ones
are in favor OF waiting for returns of
the present projects before more money
was asked for" He said agitating the
matter was the only way 10 gain what
was wanted. In this connection he IA
vored holding the next session of the
congress at Washington. D. c.. during
the session Of the national congress. SO
as TO insure the attendance Of a large
number of senators and representa-
tives. The plan, he admitted. was new
and novel, and savored somewhat OF
gall but he believed in converting the
heathen." Mr.. KieseTs address was
warmly applauded.
The Commercial Club as a Factor IN
Building Great Cities" was the subject
