For the irrigation Congress.

John McMillen chairman Of the board
Of control for the Irrigation congress
was here recentlyIn the interest Of or
ganization for the purpose Of co operat-
ing with the officers of the congress to
carry on the work Of the meeting and
the exhibit connected whit. Blackfoot
is expected to raise some money for gen.
eral expenses, and. if we want our pro
ducts represented in the display, get up
an exhibit and take it over there.
The congress will convene September
Bird at Riverside Park, Boise, and after
about three days Of business session will
60 out for tour Of the state, taking in
everything along the railroad lines from
Weiser to ST. Anthony. Mayor Ray
mond is expecting to call a meeting Of
citizens to act upon this matter soon.
1t is only month now, and we should
be pushing arrangements.
For the information Of those who do
net understand, we wish to say that
each canal company or other similar or
ganization Of property holders is expect
ed to send accredited delegates to the
congress. Each county and village is
expected to send delegates. These dele
gates do not receive any pay for attend
ing nor are they furnished any transpor
tation or expenses by the congress
Everybody can 60 who wants to. and
everybody is invited to attend. The
object in having delegates appointed is
to have things more systematic, and to
control the voting privileges when en-
pressions are taken on matters of public
interest. A resolution passed by the ir-
arigation congress on any subject may be
used to influence Legislative bodies next
winter to. show the trend Of public
opinion on that subject. An accredited
delegate may also receive some priv
leges in the way Of entertainment, re-
duced rates etc, that others would not
receive.
This locality ought to send good ex-
hibit Of agricultural products to Boise
and a good corps Of boosters to take
turns caring for the exhibits during the
sessions, SO that by the time the con
gress reaches Blackfoot they will have
become acquainted with the locality and
some ofthe people and things Of interest.
One of the things we ought to show
them is the big garden at the asylum,
and convince them that we can beat the
world raising vegetables. 1t may take
six hundred carriages to carry them
from the depot to the, garden, but if all
the people around here get together
with their vehicles, i can be done in the
houror SO they would stay.

A delightful reception was given yes
terday afternoon by Mrs. Henry Will
son Hart of $40 South Burlington ave-
nue., when members of the Ruskin Art
club were the guests. Many beautiful
gowns were worn, one of the most
handsome being the salmon pink satin
covered with chiffon and point applique
worn by the hostess. Artistic decora-
tions of cut flowers were arranged by
Miss Waite. A large basket of liberty
roses formed the centerpiece for the
refreshment table, while the Ruskin
club colors, green and white, effectively
decorated the dining room. The library
was frightened with red roses and
American Beauty roses were in pretty
clusters in the hall. Dainty baskets
of poeticus narcissus were placed in
the punch rooms. A short program of
instrumental music was given by Herr
Franz Robert Leichner.

by ASSUCld ITeSS.
PALERMO, March 22.-There have
been twenty-one earthquake shocks on
the island of Ustica during the last
three days. The population lives in
constant terror. A great valley has
been formed in the center of the island
and all the houses have been demol-
ished. The shocks We're vertical, not
undulatory, and We're accompanied by
loud Subterranean rumblingS.
The last shocks, which occurred yes
terday, finished the work of destruction.
Panic seized upon the 20O0 inhabitants
of the island, who abandoned their
homes after the first visitation of the
earthquakes and camped in the fields
and public squares. Many took refuge
in boats in the harbor. The island is
used as a penal settlement for har-
dencd criminals, of whom there are 500
quartered there. These were also panic
stricken and attempted to escape, at
tacking their guards, but were sub
dGed, One of the three mountains ON
the island is reported by the sub
