priation of $5O,OOO,O0O for the rivers

it is to secure reasonable share Of
this sum for California that the CON
gressional delegates were addressed
today by nearly fifty prominent speak
ers from all parts of the state.
The convention took place in the
hall of the California Promotion Com
mittee. Those of the California dele
gates present were Senator Perkins,
Congressman Knowland, McLachlan,
Kahn, Hayes and Smith and Senator
Belshaw. The purpose of the conven-
ton was to place the various districts
of the state in touch with these dele
gates that they might learn the de-
sires of all and frame measures to be
used in presenting CALIFORNIA; needs
before the national congress.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Chair-
man W. A. Beard of the National r.
rigation Congress said this morning,
at the conference with the California
delegation here:
THE irrigation situation in CalifOr-
MIA is very easily described. We need
| irrigation The first great work of the
Reclamation Service in California is
at Orland, where work will be done
Immediately which will result in The
irrigation of $4,000 acres of land in
the Sacramento valley.
THE Orland is the first of a series
of similar projects, all planned by en-
gineers of the United States Reclama-
ton Service, and all of vital impor-
lance to the interests of the Sacra-
mento valley and the State in general.
The great need of this State today is
a realization of the full meaning of
this project and an energetic and con-
sistent effort, both in Washington and
at home, to carry out the policy in
this argument"
c. M. Percy, supervising engineer OF
the United States Reclamation serv-
ice, spoke at length Of the work being
done in California and improvement
by the service which he represents.
He dwelt especially on the possible
ties of the Sacramento valley under
irrigation and ended by promising the
support Of the Secretary of the In
terror.
Col John Biddle, of the corps of en-
gineers, read a paper which told OF
work accomplished in the rivers and
harbors throughout the State, and
pointed out existing needs and meth
DDS by which Improvements can be
carried out with federal aid
Major C. H. McKinstry, of the en-
gineer corps, spoke of the relation OF
the work of the California Debris
Commission to the improvement of
the overlooked lands IN the Sacrament
to valley. He referred to the law on
the requirements of hydraulic mining
and spoke of improving the naviga-
bility of the rivers, He also referred
| to the commissions work on the Yuba.
Captain Amos A. Fries spoke prin-
cipally of the work in the Los Ange-
| les district, beginning with Monterey
bay south to Mexico, and the San Die
go district, where a channel 600 feet
| IN width should be dredged across the
bar at the entrance of the harbor

he had complete mastery over politi-
cal affairs in Utah and could deliver
the state to the Republicans, that be-
lief was shattered by the torrents Of
ballots which covered the apostle-poli-
tician with defeat. His own ward IN
his home town, Provo, gave the Demo-
Gratis a majority over the Republican
ticket
The only four cities in Utah repu-
dated Smoot and his TO lowers with a
perfect avalanche of ballots.
Salt Lake City, the capital and larg-
est city in the state, gave John 5.
Bransford, American, a plurality e.
$500 over DR.. Plummer, the Smoot-
Republican-church candidate for may
or The Smoot machine made a des-
perate fight to save the day for the
Republican ticket, but lost miseraOiy.
Republicans rallied under the Amerl-
can flag and voted for Bransford to
get back at Apostle Smoot and Nor
mon church domination in politics.
Many MormOns who have grown
weary of Shoots interference and his
leading the church into the political
arena showed their disapproval by
casting their ballots for the American
Gentle candidate. Take the church
out of politics and get this awful
abuse of it stopped" is the cry of the
more conservative Mormons who have
become tired of the humiliation they
are subjected to by the political ma
neuvering of Reed Smoot and his al
lies.

.MOpDnOnS Turn
Against SmOOt

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. IS
Utah politicians believe that Senator
Reed Smoot, Mormon apostle, will not
seek reelection, but will retire from
all active participation in politics. The
humiliating defeat which all his
friends and his tickets suffered at the
election in this state November 5 will
be the cause for Shoots retirement II
he does step down and out.
A movement has been started among
gentle republicans in Utah to get a
petition signed by thousands of repub-
licans asking Reed Smoot to withdraw
publicly from any attempt to lead the
party and to make no attempt at re-
election to the United States Senate.
Reed Shoots own neighbors in Provo
say that the apostle, who caused sucn
a sensation by his election to the Unit
ed State Senate has made up his mind
that his power has gone, and he will
soon make an announcement of a de-
cision to retire when his senatorial
term expires in March, 1909.
At the polls Tuesday Utah voters de-
livered the most crushing, singing re-
buke to Reed Smoot that he ever re-
ceived in his political career. It was
humiliating, because Smoot will have
no excuse to offer for it when he gets
back to Washington and is questioned
by the President and other national
party leaders.
If Reed Smoot succeeded in making
them believe before the election thai

morning Judge Howell told the young
men he story of the fool who rocked
the boat" and discharged them with a
reprlmand.

But Bill had other strong characteristics.
He kept in his cellar the best liquors that
could be bought and occasionally went on a
spree, but he insisted that a Bible be kept
In every room In his hotel. Tradition does
not tell of his personal piety, only OF the
