five or six states above us on the Col orado and its tributaries from robbing us of our water should they ever at- tempt to do it. These two resolutions were the most important of all that were adopted and were certainly of greatest importance to the people of this Valley. The rest of them were principally endorsements of the recla- nation service and of the various branches of government work engaged in arid land redemption. Taken all together it can be said that it was a government ownership convention. No one could have gotten a resolution or endorsement through that conven- ton or through that resolution commit tee in favor of a private ownership scheme. The great work of the rec lamation service, the unquestloned in tegrity and ability of its officials and the justice and wisdom of its policy was emphatically endorsed without nurmur of dissent.
 While at the congress we talked with Mr. Newell and the rest of the reclamation service officials who were there about the Imperial Valley situa- tion. They expressed themselves as quite hopeful of the success of the Southern Pacific in shutting the water out and getting the Colorado under control. l asked them how the ques- tions affecting the Colorado as between the governments was progressing and they said they had not been informed but they did say that if it should be- come necessary for the government to undertake the control of the Colorado river they had no doubt but that a way would be found for them to do it. In reply to a question MT. Newell said that whenever the Imperial Valley peo- pie were ready 10 make proposition to them the reclamation service would be ready to consider 1t. Taken alto gether their expressions were far more hopeful of the possibilities for govern ment irrigation than we had expected to hear. We found great deal bet ter understanding of the Imperial Val

Newell, chief. and Morris Bein. at torney of the United States reclama- ton service. In addition to these there were also present MT. L. H. Taylor, the engineer in charge of the Truckee Carson government irrigation project and D, w. Ross, resident engineer of Idaho There were also a number of other gentlemen present who were con- nected with the government depart ments in various capacities. The busi- ness of the convention was conducted through it's various State delegations and for this reason each state delega- ton met promptly upon arrival at Boise and organized by electing a chairman and secretary and selecting member each for the committee on resolutions and the committee on permanent or ganization. In the case of the Cali fornia delegation this work was supple mented by opening headquarters and beginning 9 campaign for the next congress. We had 1000 badges with "Sacramento, California, 1907" printed on them and each one took a pocket full and went to work pinning them on every delegate he could get to wear them and pledgng all the support he could get to bring the congress to Sac ramento in 1907. But for this work being done promptly and pushed with all vigor St. George Tucker would have captured the congress for Virginia.
 Through the resolutions committee thus organized resolutions are consid- cred and prepared for final presentz- ton to the congress. Before a reso- lution can be presented to this com mittee, however, it must be endorsed by the state delegation of which its sponsor is a member. In this way ev- cry declaration to which the congress pledged itself was carefully scrutinized by the friends of public ownership and those who were looking out to see thar no private ownership schemes got en- dorsed. Our experience in this matter is a case in point We presented the following resolution to the California delegation: Resolved, That we urge upon the United States governmen
 the immediate necessity of solving the various problems involved in the use of the waters of the lower Colorado river for irrigation" Much to our sur
 prise leading delegate demanded tt know if this resoloution was in favor o private enterprise. We explained th' situation and stated that what we wish
 ed was an international agreement do
 ing away with the old treaty betweel
 Mexico and the United States and de
 voting the waters of the Colorado t
 irrigation. We also explained tha
 there were numerous other problem
 involved and we wished the support 0
 the congress in urging upon our gov
 ernment the necessity of their imme
 diate solution. The importance of thu
 resolution and the desire to act upon
 with caution and full information led t the appointment of committee 0 three, consisting of s. w. Ferguson, 0

The fourteenth session of the Ma tional Irrigation Congress. which con- vened at Boise City, Idaho, on Sept. 3rd, was memorable one in many ways. It was the largest and best at- tended gathering of the kind that has ever assembled. the speeches, papers and discussions were all of the very highest order of excellence and the work that was accomplished was most important. To begin with we will say that it is doubtful if a more beautiful or pleasant place could have been sel- ected for its meetings than the spIen- did little city of Boise. All Idaho is justly proud of its beautiful capital city. The large number of delegates and immense throngs of visitors which at tended the congress taxed their caPaci- ty. but everyone was cared for and all were made to feel and appreciate the abundant hospitality of the people Of Boise and the state of Idaho. The at- tendance of delegates was so large that it took three days to get them all listed and a permanent roll established.
 When this was done it was found that ll35 duly accredited and creden- tialed delegates were present and. that thirty states were represented in the congress. Many of our nations most eminent men were in attendance. Vice President Fairbanks brought us a per -sonal message from President Roose- welt and made us a splendid address on citizenship and how irrigated agri- culture contributes to its upbuilding Then there were Governors Gooding of Idaho; cad, of Washington; Cham berlin of Oregon. Cutler, of Utah Sparks. of Nevada and the governors of Montana and Wyoming. besides the senators from Idaho. Montana, UtaF and Nevada and a number of congress men from various states.
 But of all the great men that at tended that convention the most capti- vating personality was Henry St George Tucker, of Virginia, who came ito plead the cause of Jamestown il he contest for the location of the con press for 1907. Mir. Tucker is tht gifted scion of a most illustrious line age, being a descendant of the proud est names in Virginia history and il both bearing and address he ampl upheld the fame of his great famil and the reputation of his state. Blu for the hard work that was done b the California delegation, Sacrament would not have won the congress fo 1907, but the matchless Tucker woul have borne it away to Jamestown, Vir ginia. The programme for the pubi part of the congress had already bee prepared by the executive committe and consisted of great number of pa pers and addresses on all manner C subjects connected with irrigation an drainage, forestry, water conservation dry farming. climatology and all sort of matters connected with arid Ian reclamation and the development C the arid west. Among the emlner men in our government that wer present were Charles D. Walcott, tn chief of the Geological Survey; Giffor Pinchot Chief Forester of the Unite

Willows, and Judge William Conley, of Madera. After 24 hours this com mittee reported favorably and the reso- lution was adopted by the Calf rnia delegation as above given. It was then presented to the resolutions com mittee of the congress by Mir. Estudillo the California member. There it met with the same objection that was urged in the California delegation that it looked too favorable to private enter prise. Twitchell of New Mexico at- tackled it and said he spoke from his experience with the Rio Grande when he insisted that private enterprise be allowed no place on the international streams. He said the conflicting claims of private irrigation companies delayed the solution of the Rio Grande problem for years and that no progress
 was possible as long as they were al- lowed to figure in the matter but that as soon as they were shut out and the matter taken up by the government as a reclamation project the trouble was quickly settled. He therefore would not consent to anything short of the complete control of the Colorado river by the reclamation service. At this juncture Mr. Osgood, of Montana, took up the matter and stated that there were a number of streams along on the line between the United States and Canada and that as irrigation was be- ing practiced in that country On both sides of the line he insisted that the resolution be so amended as to cover all international streams where irriga- ton is practlced. The resolution was therefore changed to meet the wishes of these gentlemen, it being felt that the purpose for which 1t was drawn was thus accomplished and that by limiting the work on international streams to the reclamation service the certainty of solving the problems involved would be greatly increased and the interests of the settlers placed in the safest hands that can be found Also by in cludng all international streams the | recommendation fully represents the character and scope of the organization making it. The question of adopting this resolution was fully discussed by the committee and many of them ex- pressed their pleasure in seeing the congress take such a broad stand on this very important subject. There was one other matter before the reso- lutions committee and later before the congress that is very important and that is the question of giving the fed eral courts jurisdiction over all inter state streams. As it is now where . stream runs in more than one state the people of the state highest up the stream can take all the water, regard less of the prior rights of those in an other state lower down. This matter is we'll illustrated on the Arkansas riv
