MEN Of THE WEST
SOON To MEET.
San Francisco to Be One
of Topics at Trans
Mississippi Congress

| KANSAS CITY, Aug. 5.-The official
call for the seventeenth annual session
of the Trans Mississippi Commercial
Congress. to meet in Kansas City. Mo-.
November 90. 21. % and %, next, was
issued here today by the executive
committee. The congress promises to
be the most important since It's organ
ization. In part, the call says:
In issuing the call the executive COM
mittee directs attention TO the neces-
sity for some concerted action on the
great question of navigation upon the
rivers OF the Trans Mississippi States.
In various sections Of the Trans Mis-
sissippi region there are many natural
waterways which only need Govern
ment aid to make them commercial fac
tors in the upbuilding Of the State to
the executive committee places the
/ subject OF river navigation upon the
programme as question OF great i'm
Inasmuch as recent agitation. both at
home and abroad, has had an effect det-
| the Trans Mississippi states, the exc
cutive committee has placed this sub
| ject upon the programme with the hope
that results may be reached beneficial
| to stock raisers.
The marked progress made by Prest-
dent Roosevelt and the National Con-
canal across the Isthmus Of Panama
has again brought this project to the
attention OF the Trans mississippi
Commercial Congress. The enormous
benefits that will accrue to the region
west of the Mississippi River by the
construction of this international
waterway appeals with peculiar force
to the people of the Trans Mississippi
States, and 1t is proper that the dele
gates to the Trans Mississippi Com
mercial Congress be afforded an op
portunity to express their views upon
this subject.
Commercial activity is greatly re-
| tarded by the lack of transportation
| facilities. Chief among the evils in this
respect is bad roads Any moveme ment
that has for it's purpose the improve
ment of the public highways should be
! encouraged.
Requests are made that the subject
"A department of mines and mining
with its head member of the Cabinet
| of the United States" be placed upon
the list of topics for discussion.
| Other subjects to be considered are
as follows: Flood control, harbor i'm
provements, merchant marine. Oriental
] trade, Alaska, Columbia River, irrfga-
| tion, forestry, San Francisco, naval
construction on the Pacific Coast. trusts

ARE AROUSED.
Believe GovernmentMay
Flood Their Country
With Coolie Laborers
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 5.-The effect
of the decision of the imperial Privy
Council in London in allowing the ap-
peal of the Canadian Government in
the case of the Attorney General
against Cain is to upset the famous
decision of Judge Anglin in the Pere
Marquette Railway case, whereby 1t
was declared that the Dominion had
no power to deport employees under
the Canadian alien labor law.
In the spring of 1905 Judge Winches-
ter as commissioner found that the
Pere Marquette Railway Company had
imported Americans to take the places
of Canadians. On appeal to Judge An
glin the latter held that 1t was not In
the power Of the Canadian authorities
tional border, inasmuch as Canadian
Jurisdiction ceases at the boundary line
itself. 1t was against this point that
the Dominion Government appealed to
the Privy Council, with the result that
Judge Anglin's decision has been re-
versed.
Unless the Canadian people protest
in force Canada is likely to be flooded
with coolie laborers from Asia. This
seems to be the purpose which Sir
William Van Horne had in mind when
he recently urged that all limitations
be withdrawn against the admission
of foreign labor into Canada. 1t is
significant that this should be follow ed
by the utterance OF the Hon. Walter
Scott, Premier of the new province of
Saskatchewan. when he said: we are
going to have lot of work between
the lakes and the mountains in the
next ten years, and unless we get for
eign labor there great difficulty will
arise in the way
That Scott's statement probably fore
shadows a suspension of the Chinese
head tax of $500. at least for imported
coolies under Government regulation
seems apparent, as he has been In OF
tawa for some weeks past and recently
has been frequently cioseted with Sir
Wilfrid Laurier in respect TO the ne
cessity in the west for rapid and ex-
tensive railway building.

PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE

MIR. Roosevelt in Letter to Audubon
Society Expresses sympathy With
Work of Association.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.--In a letter
written by President Roosevelt to
William Dutche, president of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Socie-
ties, made public today the President,
speaking for both himself and Mrs.
Roosevelt. expresses hearty sympathy
with the efforts the society is making g
to prevent the sale and use of white
herron plumes commonly known as
'aigrettes," which are worn on wo-
mems hats.
Dutche in letter to the President
said that Queen Alexandra of England
had recently publicly made known her
disapproval Of the use of the plumes
and suggested that similar express
sion from Mrs. Roosevelt would do
more toward abolishing them as mil
linery ornaments than months of work
by the Audubon societies.

MARE ISLAND WORKSHOPS
TO RECEIVE NEEDED REPAIRS
Steam Engineering Department to Be
Given Thorough Overhauling by
Lieutenant Commander Carr.

VALLEJO. Aug. 5.-The advent of
Lieutenant Commander Clarence A. Carr
as head of the steam engineering de-
partment Of the Mare Island navy yard
means the expenditure of $175,000 in
the improvement of the workshops.
The money has been available for four
years, but for some unknown reason
1t has not been used and as a result
the steam engineering department has
made one of the poorest showings of
any section of the big Government
plant.
The improvements will include the
installation of the very latest labor
saving devices in the building erected
for the department three years ago but
never occupied.

their principal knowledge Of the story
from the pen Of their famous poet,

Great Future for Cache
E. H. Wilson, Who Bonded Mineral Point
And Lucky Star, Predicts Great Things.

The following good word for Caches

bune, the article being an expression
from +. ii Wilson, mining expert who
has recently bonded the Mineral Point
and Lucky Star prospects for 800, 600
each. The Tribune says

nected with many properties in this
state, has in an iron mine i'm Cache

not only is enthusiastic over this prop.
erty, but he sees for all Cache county
an era of prosperity which will assume
no small dimensions as soon as present
plans are under way. Little has been
said about the iron deposits of this
Utah region, but it is an industry
which will mean great deal within a
short time. Mr.. Wilson recently Sc.
cured an option for one year upon this
iron deposit, and he stated Tuesday
before departing for Beaver county
that this option would be taken no in
good time.
The property he states is within
eighteen miles of Logan, and was
owned by the Logan Mine company.
Recently three different parties OF ex.
perts representing large iron and steel
interests of Minnesota, Pittsburg and
the west have made an inspection of
these deposits. Mr.. Wilson and his
associates have, refused several offers
for the property, They are doing a
great deal of development work upon
their own account, but Mr.. Wilson
states that they are considering a
proposition recently made them by
prominent iron people foi long lease
upon this ground. This lease if let

Wonderful Property.

Mr. Wilson is one OF the iron en-
perts of the country. He has had
many years of experience in this line
OF activity, and he states that while
he has seen equal tonnages elsewhere
he never ran across such magnificent
quality of iron ore before. He states
the quality Is ideal, there being no
PHOSPHORUS IN the ore, and that it
will run over 20 per cent pure. The
deposit is | 900 feet wide, and extends
for distance of 5000 feet across the
property. From the nature of the
outcrop upon the PERCEPTIONS noun
tain the deposit can be seen to be fully
1000 feet in depth, and will, OF course,
extend still deeper. Experts who have
made an examination of this ground
unite in saying that there is only one
property in the country that equals
this in every way, and that is the Re.
public mine in Michigan.
"The holders of the option are do
ing great deal of work at this time,
one shaft being down 200 feet, having
gone down from grass roots upon the
above described character of ore. Such
showings, taken into connection with
the ilattering offers that have been
made for the mine, have fully justified
Mr.. Wilson and his associates in say
ing that this property will be a great
proposition for themselves, for Cache
county and for Utah"
