ATTENDANCE

Those of Stock, Poultry and
Farm Machinery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. S.-The
Tennessee State Fair was inauguarted
today with an attendance estimated all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000. All the
school children were admitted free and
these helped to swell the crowd. Many
of the displays were not in place as a
result of the recent rainy weather, but
the exhibits are creditable. especially
those of live stock, poultry, farm ma
chinery and ladies' handiwork There
was harness racing in the afternoon
between Tennessee-owned horses.

EFFORT
TO CHECK RIVER
WAS AcclDENTLY TURNED FROM
ITS coURSE-lS NOW FORM.
ING VAST LAKE,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Who is re-
sponsible for the creation of the Sal
ton Sea in Southern California, which
already covers an area of 400 square
miles and threatens to spread over q
900 square miles if some means of di-
verting the Colorado River cannot be
devised?
This question is perlexing Mexican
and American diplomatists, but for the
time being diplomatic representations
have been suspended and both the
United State and Mexico are bending
every effort to check the river which
has been accidently turned from its
course through the efforts of the Cal
ifornia Development Company to irri-
gate lands in Northern Mexico and
Southern California.
Interesting complications of an in
teresting character are threatened
when the two Governments attempt to
settle their differences. The Califor-
MIA Development Company original
ly tapped the river below Yuma Arizo-
ma, and carried water from Arizona
through a canal into Northern Mexico
and back into a great valley in South
ern California. In 1904 it was found
that this canal was inadequate to sup
ply water required for the irrigation
project and Mexican corporation con-
trolled by the California Development
Company was authorized by Mexico to
take water from the Colorado in Mex
leo. a short distance from Yuma. The
irrigation canal was only one-fourth
of a mile from a river at the point In
Mexico where ditch was cut through
the sandy bank of the river connect
ing. with the great irrigation canal.
No gates were provided and with the
high water of 1905 the Colorado Riv-
er was diverted from its al-annel, cut
away its bank and went raging into
the lowlands in California for below
sea level.
Several small towns are now be-
meath the waters which the Colorado
has poured into the basin and in many
places only the tops of the railway
telegraph poles indicate where the
r6adbad fofmeiy was. I'd the lowest
part of the sink the water is now sew
enty feet deep.
FafidTg to cohtroi the river would
give this country aud Mexico lake
comparable to the Great Lakes sepa-
rating the United States and Canada.
The Mexican company to which per-
mission was granted to take water out
of the Colorado In Mexico, was merely
created in Mexico to assist the Cali
fornia Development company in max
ing a success of an irrigation project
which was a partial failure when the
water was taken from the Colorado
in Arizona. Most of the land to be ir-
rigated was in the United States and
the Mexican Government had compar-
atively little to gain from the conces-
sion granted to the irrigation COM
pany. |

praise is due for the success of this

of the United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy the monument would per-
haps have never been erected.

be a great success. Several of the

nation OF Mr.. Galloway was made
unanimous Calls for the nominees
was heard, and Mr.. Galloway arose.
He thanked the Convention for the
honor, and said he realized that it was
not bestowed on account of any trans
cendant ability he possessed, but be-
cause of the confidence the people had
IN him, and he appreciated it all the
more for this reason. That the peo-
pie could feel assured that it would
never be necessary to send commit
tee to Nashville to have him vote right
upon the temperance question. Mr..
Galloway announced that he
favored better road system
and would give the subject of
roads a part of his attention, If he
should secure election.
Capt. Lipscomb thanked the Con-
vention for the honor. He said he
realized the grave responsibilities of
the office and If elected he would 90
to Nashville with the determination
to be of some real service to the
State and county.
Mr.. F. D. Lander then submitted a
list of delegates from Maury county
to the Senatorial Convention, and on
motion they were adopted. On mo-
ton the Legislative resolutions were
adopted as the guide of the Maury
County Senatorial delegation, and the
delegation was instructed to vote as
a unit upon all questions.
Mr.. Smiser paid a high tribute to
the Democratic Executive Committee
of Maury County and urged the neces-
sity Of electing good men to the Com
mittee. The thanks of the Conven-
ton was extended the Committee for
their splendid work of the past few
and the Convention adjourned

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
The Senatorial Convention was call
ed to order by Mr. James A. Smiser.
On motion Mr.. W. n. Sloan, of Perry
county, was elected permanent Chair
man and c. P. Hatcher of Maury, per-
manent Secretary. The counties of
the district were represented as fol-
lows:
Lewis County-Fred L. Schubert

The platform and resolutions adopt

adopted as the platform of this con-
vention, with the exception that Miss
Minnie Bolton, of Franklin, was en-
dorsed for Engrossing Clerk of the
Senate, where Miss Flora Harlan had
been endorsed for Engrossing Clerk
of the House.
The Convention then went into the
nomination of a Senator, Mr.. w. B.
Greenlaw. of Maury County, being
nominated by Mr.. E. H. Hatcher, and
Capt. W. c. Webb, of Perry County,
being nominated by Senator Fred L.
Schubert, of Lewis. Capt. Webb had
previously been nominated by the peo-
pie of Perry county, who. acting un-
der the Hohenwald rotation agree
ment, felt that the Senator should
properly go to Perry county this time.
The Maury delegation, however, felt
that the Hohenwald agreement was
ultra wires and void and was not bind

private conference between the dele

The Annual Hoss Race

The annual Chanute horse race
miss called a fair is now on. Wednes
day the crowd was light, composed al
most entirely of residents of the city
We heard no one Dragging on the
quality of the races.
Thursd ~ is the usual day for the
crowd. The floral hall is sparcelJ
tillee and scarcely decorated.
We notice the Gritfia Music Co
makes the biggest display there OF
any other concern. They show tine
line of pianos, organs and sewing ma
chimes and small musical goods. This
firm is pushing out for business.
The Rosanthal Co. has stall on the
west side but did not take the pains
to fill it.
The art display is very small and in
significant. In the fancy needle work
department the display is small but
noticibe for the great preponderance
of truly elegant work,
Joe's Place is filed by glass case of
gents furnishings
Nothing 10 the cookery line.
Heminger & Montague display bug
gies. harness aud robes. They are
pushing the ball bearing buggy axle.
The stall devoted to dolls is about
the pretlieSt in the hall.
Lowey g. Son make very nice
hardware display.
The Oriental Tailoring company
makes display of some very elega 1t
suit goods.
L. B. Keifer and the Chanute Dry
Goods Co., side by side, make a very
creditable display of their lines.
The canned fruits and jelly display
is small but the goodies look tempting.
The fruit and vegetable display is
nothing like it might have been.
There are few fine specimens of big
ears of corr, we think the largest we
ever saw. We also noticed one coop,
containing two chichens.
We are told the races might be
termed thin on Wednesday. The in
dlcations are that there will be no
record breaking crowd on Thursday.
The association seems to have made
no .lfJrt to hold fair, though one
was advertised. What is the matter?
Are the DAYS of the county fair
numbered? Or, don't our people care
for one?
