(. The delegates who attended the
Fourteenth Annual Irrigation Con-
gress held at Boise, Idaho, last week,
have returned and report that this
congress was beyond question the
best Of its kind ever held. The peo-
pie of Boise arose to the occasion and
subscribed over scr, 900 for the necces-
sary arrangements and in providing
entertainment for their guests. The
streets were beautifully decorated and
the exhibition of products Of irrigation
were of the highest order and demon
sstrated In the best way possible the
great profits Of agriculture by that
method. About 1900 delegates were
present among them were Vice Presf-
dent Fairbanks, Governors Gooding Of
Idaho. Mead OF Washington, and
chamberlain Of Oregon. Governor
lPardae Of California, president Of the
congress, was delayed at the last
moment and sent his regrets. Among
the other prominent persons present
were Mr.. Walcott director Of the p.
s. Geological Survey. MT Newell,
chief engineer Of the U s. Reclama-
Ition Service, Nj Mead chief of the

4 There were two issues In the Maine
election that had to do with the result
in q great degree. The republican
candidate for governor was chosen by
a reduced plurality upon a platform
whose chief issue was the continuance
of the prohibition law. His demo-
cratic opponent pol1ed one of the larg-
est Yotes ii the history OF the state
on the democratic side, upon a plat
form calling for a resubmission OF the
prohibitory law. While national Isl
sues may have played some part In
the result It is likely that the state
issues were those upon which the
vote was cast one way or the other.
50 that the reduced republican p1lir-
aIity is due to state issue which has
proven a perplexing one In every
state In which there has been pro-
hsbitory law. IN the congressional
aisction. Congressman LittIefeld was

Now that the council is about to
make the appropriations for another
year would it not be good idea to
have a financial! city housekeeping?
No one seems to know the exact
financial condition of the city. There
are a mass of unpaid bills on the
auditors desk and in the hands of
committees, some of them many
months old. They aggregate large
amount. Most of them have been
held up for lack of funds. Objection
has been raised to some of them.
The parties at interest should get to-
gether and agree upon basis of set
Element so that these bills, with those
unquestioned, could be paid off now
that there are funds with which to do
it, and a clean sheet started for the
new year. The postponement of a
settlement from meeting to meeting
will neither lesson the burden nor re-
lieve the councilmen of their worries.
The situation should be met fairly and
disposed Of Inasmuch as very few
taxpayers have. the slightest idea of
the city's financial condition an item
lied statement including the various
unpaid bills, cash ON hand in the
various funds, ETC., might give the
people information on this subject
they are entitled to know.

mendation favoring the tariff on sugar
from the Philippines was adopted
after some opposition. Resolutions of
thanks TO- President Roosevelt and
Vice President Fairbanks, the city OF
Boise and the state of Idaho, the
chairman and others we're unanimous
ly adopted. Considerable discussion
was aroused over the introduction of
a resolution recommending that con-
gress authorize bonds to provide
money to facilitate the construction
of still other Irrigation projects, but
the resolution was voted down.
After the close of the congress
many Of the delegates took advantage.
of the opportunity offered through the
generosity of the people of Idaho in
furnishing a special train for the pur-
pose of visiting a number of the most
important irrigation districts of the
state. About four hundred made this;
trip and all were exceedingly enthusi-
astic over what they saw. Stops were
made at the cities of Twin Falls, st.
Anthony, Rexburg, and Pocatello, and
the great PayettelBoise and Minidoka
projects under construction by the
Reclamation Service, the Twin Falls
project being constructed under the
provisions of the Cary act, and the
great irrigated section of the Snake
River where over 100000 acres has
been reclaimed by private capital
were traversed. Everywhere were
evidences of the greatest prosperity,
this being more especially where irria.
cation has been practiced longest, al
though the results shown from irriga-
ton for single year at Twin Falls
were truly marvellous.
Everywhere the people were the
embodiment of hospitality, and fried
chicken, fruits of all kinds, cantaloupe,
and watermelons were the order of
the day.
There seemed to be no reason to
doubt the assertion that in a very
short time the state, of Idaho, will
have million acres under irrigation
worth on the average 5000 an acre.
To one who has not seen it the trans
formation Of gray sage brush covered
desert to veritable Garden of Eden
seems absolutely impossible, but see
ing is believing.
/ In general it may be stated that the
congress was the best and most salts
factory yet held. The delegates were
enthusiastic and the debates were in
general without bitterness, although
there were exceptions to the rule, and
there can be no doubt but that the
results will be far reaching and bene.

They are still killing bears in Cava-
lier county. A recent report from
Milton states that a farmer of that
prosperous county, returning from
harvest work, saw a bear weighing
three or four hundred pounds, and sue
ceeded in, killing it. Coming from
Cavalier county, where Uncle Dan
Mcmillan and other substantial and
solid residents of the state have an
abiding place, we are confident that
the report of the bear killing is true
otherwise it would not have been told

Forest Reserve. Senators Dubois and
Hepburn of Idaho, Mr.. Reeder, men,
Der of congress from Kansas and
many others Delegates present from
this state were: A. Z. Fellows, state
engineer, John Bruegger, r. M. Calder
wood, and E. R. Brownson, secretary
of the Williston Water Users Asso-
citation, and T. T.. Beiseker of Fes-
sender. OF these Mr.. Fellows was ap-
pointed member of the committee on
resolutions, Mr. Calderwood member
of the committee on credentials, and
Mr.. Beiseker member of the commit
tee on organization, while Mr.. Brown
son was honored by election to the
Office of president of the: Federation
of Water Users Associations, an
honor well earned by Mr.. Brownson
through. his untiring efforts in the
formation of a Water Users Associa-
ton at Williston.
The sessions were extremely inter-
esting, many valuable papers being
read, and addresses delivered, all of
which were listened to with close at
tention. The address of perhaps as
great Importance to North Dakota as
any was that of Mr.. f. H. Branden-
burg of Denver upon "The Western
Limit Of Precipitation Sufficient for
Successful Farming without Irriga-
ton, and the Relation of the Water
Flow of Streams" We hope to be
able to give an outline of the contents
of this paper at some later date.
Especial interest was displayed in
the quest Of officers and place of meet
ing for the en"uing year. Officers
finally selected were: President, Gov
ernor Chamberlain of Oregon; vice
president-frst, Hon. John H. Smith
of Utah; second H. B. Maxson of
Nevada; third, G. w. Barstow of
Texas; secretary, ID. H. Anderson,
editor of the Irrigation Age, of Chi
cago. The honorary vice, president in,
North Dakota is as formerly-Hon. E..
A. Williams, and member of the exc!
cutive committee is State Engineer
Fellows. The, place selected for the
next meeting is, Sacramento, Cali
fornia. Already there is movement
on the part of those interested in the
state of North Dakota to charter a
special car for the congress.
A number of resolutions were
adopted, which are summarized as
follows: Resolutions endorsing the
reclamation act, and the reclamation
service, the U. S. weather bureau, and
the division of irrigation and drainage
investigations, the forest service, and
the organization of farmers clubs
The creation Of experiment stations
and the distribution of information
concerning irrigation were advocated
and resolutions were adopted recon-
mending the passage of an act to
facilitate the requirement of reservoir
sites, conservatism both on the part
of the U. s. Reclamation Service and
private capital in interfering one with
the other, the enactment of a fedora
law providing penalties for interior
ing with federal irrigation works. 4

ORGANIZED FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

ORGANIZED FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
The republican state central COM
mittee met at Fargo yesterday, with
the candidates on the republican state
ticket and prominent republican lead
ers from all parts of the state and
organized for the republican campaign
in the state. An executive committee
was chosen from the several judicial
districts of the state composed of the
following republicans:
First District-J. H. Bosard of
Grand Forks.
Second District-C. ]. Lord of Can
do.
Third District-J. F. Callahan of
Casselton.
Fourth District-J F. Shea of Wah-
peton.
Fifth District o. j. Seller of
Jamestown.
Sixth District-N. F. Boucher of
Bismarck.
Seventh District-Gunder Olson of
Grafton.
Eighth District-James Mcintyre Of
Bantry. zefE
Oscar J. Seller of Jamestown was
unanimously chosen as chairman of
the executive committee and will CO.
operate with Chairman Hanna of the
general committee in laying out the
general campaign. Mr.. Seller is a
I successful business man, an organizer
0f abality and has been an important
factor in the politics of the Fifth dis
trict. That he will be a valuable
chairman of the executive committee
is assured. NJ H. Jewell of Bismarck
was chosen as general secretary of
the state committee, position he has
held in four campaigns. Mr.. J.. W
Foley, private secretary to the COVER
nor, is urged by the executive commit.
tee to act as it's executive secretary
and will doubtless devote much of his
time to the details of the campaign.
In the selection of the executive
committee the republican organiza
tons in the several districts art
represented. The battles within the
republican party have been Tough
and there are not and should not BIZ
any line of division among republican!
in the campaign In the state. Reports
from the various districts show tina
the disaffection sought to be mad
much Of by the democrats in the stat
does not exist and there will b,

ticket on the part OF all republicans
Notwithstanding this it is the inter

sufficient answer TO say that It serves
him right that he ought never to put
his opinions on paper II he is unwill-

A public man may often say as
private citizen what propriety would
not allow him 10 say in his Official

mental misconception OF the nature
