duced and delivered his lecture on Amer
lean Scenery" which is published else

Address by Judge Colhorn-
After the applause that greeted DR..
Grants address had subsidized Judge
E. F. Colborn Of Salt Lake City was
recognized by the chair. He endorsed
heartily the idea OF the previous
speaker Of associating the history or
each great work of nature with the
work itself. He reminded the meeting
that Great Salt lake was all that was
left Of Lake Bonneville, that at one
time covered the greater part or the
valley, and that on the spot where the
convention was held were dug the
first irrigation bitches used by Anglo
Saxons on the American continent.
Judge Colborn called attention to the
fact that the document appointing the
members of the executive committee
did not provide for filling vacancies.
It was discovered that this was pro-
vided for in the general plan adopted
earlier in the meeting.
James w. Cairbreath Of Colorado
presented the following. which was
adopted by rising vote, and amid the
greatest enthusiasm of the day:
Whereas, The efficiency. tact and
energy Of the father of the great See

WINGED every member Of this confer
ence Of the supreme fitness OF Fisher

Committee"
Major S. K. Hooper took the floor
and reminded the delegates that no
provision had yet been made for
spreading the idea for which the See
America league stands. He thought 1t
would be a mistake to adjourn until
some plan for the raising Of funds
had been adopted. DR.. Grant second
ed the motion and emphasized the ar
gument of Major Hooper. 1t was
finally decided after considerable dis
cussion to hold another session Of the
conference beginning at 10 o'clock.
Major Hooper, Fisher Harris and Sec
rotary Z. J. Westlake were named a
committee to map out a programme
for the morning session.
L. W. Pratt, who occupied the chair,
suggested that committee should be
appointed to express the sentiments Of
the visitors in regard to the enter
tainment accorded by the Commercial
club and the citizens Of Salt Lake City.
Leonard Merrill Of Los Angeles said
that this would be impossible. When
pinned down for a reason he said It
would be impossible to find words.
The chair concluded to test the point
and appointed Mr.. Merrill the chair
man of the committee. The other MEM
berS are J. A. Runyon of Missouri and
Douglas White Of California
Adjournment was then taken to 10
o'clock this morning when the dele
gates win meet In the smoking room
of the Commercial club.
