RESOLUTIONS
AdOptcd by the Fourteenth Irrigation
 Congress

commended by the committee on reso- lutions of the fourteenth National Irri- gation congress. which closed its ses- sion Thursday. as adopted by the con- gress:
 The congress desires to express its high appreciation of the national irri- gation law. and halls with pleasure the opportunities afforded under its benefi- cient provisions for home making and hopes that the several governmental enterprises now under contemplation. as well as under construction, will be pushed to a speedy and successful completion.
 We heartily approve the efficient and thorough work of the reclamation service in carrying on the work of na- tionaI reclamation where works have been commenced and are now being executed and have the fullest confi- dence in the honesty and ability of that service.
 We recommend that the reclama- tton service and its representatives CO., operate with state officers in matters affecting the states landed interests.
 This congress indorses and com mends the earnest and efficient work Of the United States weather bureau of the department of agriculture in estab- fishing highly useful chronological service in each state which work has proven of great benefit to the irriga- tion development of the west.
 We heartily commend the excellent work being carried forward by the irri- gation and drainage investigations of the office of the experiment stations. United States department of agrlcul- ture. and recommend the continuance and extension of this work and urge upon the United States congress the continuance of the appropriations for this service upon liberal basis as an essential feature of the thorough devel- opment of the arid west.
 INDoRSE FARMERS CLUBS
 Whereas. the building of irrigation works is but means to an end, since the ultimate success of all irrigation enterprises. whether public or private, depends on the intelligence, skill and industry of those who settle on the lands, and
 Whereas. The organization of farmers clubs. the holding of farmers institutes, the establishment of agricul- tfral and industrial high schools, the carrying on of practical experiments for the benefit of the farmer, and the training given by the agricultural col Ieges and experiment stations are all valuable agencies in the industrial up- building of rural communities in irri- gated districts:
 We heartily commend and indorse the work of these various agencies, and urge upon the legislatures of all west ern states and territories the granting of increased appropriations for the pur- poses.
 FOR SECURING INFORMATION
 We recommend that the president of this congress appoin a committee consisting of five members of this con- gress, whose duty it shall be to secure the widest publicity of scientific infor- nation concerning irrigation. with the view of educating the new settler on irrigated lands in the proper use of water, stimulating the older users of wafer to 2 full aDDreciation of the value

dorsing Zea Maize as the national floral emblem.
 Therefore, We rescind said reso- lution.
 We recommend that the congress of the United States consider the ex- tension of the jurisdiction of the United States courts to provide for the judicial determination of water rights on inter- state streams.
 CONCERNING SUGAR BEETs
 "Inasmuch as the sugar beet indus try in irrigated America returns to the farmers an annual revenue of over $2O.- GOO, ,OOO. and as the production at home of the sugar we now import from the tropics would afford our farmers an additional market for beets amounting to $1OO.OOO,oOo. and as 1t has been urged that the United States congress further stimulate the sugar industry of the Philippine islands to produce all or portion of the sugar we of arid Amer lea had hoped to produce.
 Therefore, We prorest against any further legislation favoring Philippine sugar and urge that legislative agitation and attacks on the sugar production of this country cease. that this great in dustry of arid America may be fully developed
 LOTS OF THANKS
 We thoroughly appreciate the in- terest shown by President Roosevelt in irrigation, as evidenced by his letter to this congress, and extend to him our thanks, for his untiring support of na- tional reclamation of the arid and semi arid lands; and we express our hearty appreciation of the patriotic address of Vice President Fairbanks, wherein as a broad minded American he so un- qualIfiedly indorsed the purposes of this congress, and having in view the best interests of our entire nation so forcibly urged the merit of the recla- nation of arid lands.
 We extend thanks to the local press and the press in general for Its generous notice and fair consideration.
 "Our thanks are rendered to Hon. L. w. Shurtliff, Senator Thomas H. Carter and Governors Chamberlain and Mead for the able and impartial man. ner in which they have presided over our deliberations. We also extend our thanks to Hon. Montie B. Gwinn and to the other executive officers fer their untiring work and efforts in mak- Ing this one of the most interesting and instructive sessions in the history of irrigation congresses.
 We extend our hearty and sincere thanks to the people of Idaho and par ticularly to the people of Boise for their splendid welcome. kindly courte- sy and marked hospitality and we shall carry to our respective homes the most pleasant recollections of our visit to this state and its capital city"

PUSSY WANTS A CORNER.

The case Of the Territory vs Dennis
Cahill last week, in which r. J. Brewer
was the complaining witness, came up
in Probate Court. 1t Ia another one
Of those strange things that you read
about. II seems that the difficulty
arose over the setting Of a certain
corner post. Mr.. Cahill first placed
the post over on Mr., Brewers land
about six inches. Beaver county land
has became so valuable that the owner
could not stand for that and 60
proceeded to move IL back and this
time aoout an equal six inches on
Mr.. Cahill's farm. Then the fun
commenced. Dennis sholdcrcd his
spade and meandercd toward the
disputed post to place It some place
perhaps trespassing twelve inches this
time. Mr.. Brewer had business at that
point at the same time and some way
they got to flourishing spades and
crowbars until one finally turned to
gun and Brewer quit the premises and
came to town swearing out warrant
for Cahill charging him with too free
use Of one Of those implements OF
warfare that are dangerous without
lock, stock or barrel
The case received due attention in
Judge Meese's court Of Justice and
judgement was rendered in favor OF
defendant, the costs in the case being
assessed to complaining witness

We understand thot the various bus
mess men Of Beaver have agreed that
after this week they will close their
places of business at o'clock p. m.
This is a good move for 1t will give not
only the clerks in the various. cstab-
lishments a little freedom but the
proprietors themselves, who are al
ways overworked. a chance to get away
from business few hours. We hope
that the agreement will be strictly
adhered to.

The case Of Mrs. Calvin Melton vs.
Dennis Cahill in which X. J. Brewer
was the complaining witness. and in
which the defendent was charged with
drawing gun on the plaintiff, came
up in Probate Court last week. The
case was continued till the July term.

1t has been said and resaid that there
is nothing in . name but the contrary
was proven this week. X. J. Brewer
was committed TO Jail for failure to pay
fine and costs in civil action in the
probate conrt. last week. H. A.
brewer who resides at Kokomo, but
who is no relation to the aforesaid,
came in and satisfied the judgment
and the prisoner was released. He
did not propose to have even his name
in the county bastile. Now we are
glad that we possess such q common
name as Thomas. IL may help US
some day.

played, one with Hibbs and one with

Miss Ella Empy swore out warrant
last week for the arrest of her uncle,
Pat Farwell, charging him with assault
alleging that he tried to choke her.
1t appears that the plaintiff owed
Patrick the sum OF 1900 and refused
to reimburse him. Unlike many men,
instead Of letting his arm go to

and proceeded to choke the gentle
