IDAHO AGAINST
WALLA WALLA
Delegates not for Garden
City as Meeting Place

Outside of the fact that we failed
to secure the next meeting of the con-
gress Walla Walla delegates to the
Fifteenth National Irrigation congress
have no complaints to make" said
President F. W. Kaiser, of the Com
mercial club, who returned from Sac
ramento this morning. There were a
number of influences which combined
to defeat us in our efforts to land the
next meeting of the congress. Among
these may be mentioned the fact that
Albuquerque had conducted a longer
and more systematic campaign than
we had.
THE big men of Albuquerque and
of the territory of New Mexico were
on hand to help secure delegates for
Albuquerque, the Santa Fe railroad
system did everything in its power to
land the congress for Albuquerque, and
were seconded in this by the officials
II
hand, while the northern railroads fav
ored Walla Walla as against Albu-
querque, they We're lukewarm in their
support.
But more than all this. Albu
querques friends argued that every
previous meeting of the congress had
been held in the northwest, and being
east of the Rocky Mountains they We're
able to secure the solid support Of
every eastern delegation. The appor-
tionment was such as to make this
support very valuable, as under the
rules of the congress any state dele
cation was entitled to at least ten
votes even though the delegation con-
sisted of but one delegate, while no
state delegation was entitled to over
twenty votes, even though it might
have so delegates present. Thus while
Oregon. with over so delegates present,
was able to cast but 20 votes for Walla
eastern states with but one delegate
present, and there were several of
them, We're able to cast ten votes
each for our rival
Idaho for New Mexico.
Mr. kaser said that not to exceed
one man in a hundred has any idea
of the magnitude of congress and feels
keenly Walla Walla's misfortune in no.
securing the next congress. He is loud
in his praise of the loyalty of the Ore
gon delegation, which stood by Walla
Walla to the end. Contrary to pre-
vious reports, which stated that the
! Idaho delegation voted solidly for
Walla Walla, Mr.. Kaser said that this
city secured but one of that states
30 votes. the remaining 10 going to
Albuquerque.
After leaving Sacramento. a num-
Der of the Walla Walla delegates went
to San Francisco, where they spent
day looking over the city.
In addition to Mr.. and Mrs Kaiser,
the following members of tbs Walla
W&lla delegation returned this morn-
ing: Senator joan Yeend, DR.. \. G.
Blalock, County Treasurer W. ]. Hon
eycutt. George Struthers and Mrs
Brewer and daughter

NOW At WORK
CONVOCATION EXERCISES HELD
IN WHITMAN CHAPEL LAST
NIGHT.

Before an audience which taxed the
capacity of the chapel, the convoca-
ton exercises, opening the college
year, were held last night
Previous to the public exercises, the
college council, consisting of the trus-
tees, faculty and alumni. met in the
library and discussed matters pertain
ing to the welfare of the college. At
the time appointed for the convocation
exercises, the procession was formed
consisting of members of the council,
and was led to the platform by Mar
shall Harry Davenport.
The scripture lesson was read by
Rev. Austin Rice and prayer was Of
fered by Rev. James c. Reid. AS Mrs.
Apply failed to arrive, her place on
the program was supplied by MI

a red, red rose He was accom-
, panied by Miss Branscombe
! President Penrose then introduced
| the speaker of the evening, Mr. Har-
ry E. fash '01. who has, since ht
graduation, spent several years teach
| ing in the Philippines. His subject
was Opportunities in the Philip
pines" and in a pleasing and interest
| ing manner he told of his response 10
| the governments call for teachers. his
| trip to the islands and his experiences
! in starting a school where only five
| n Ia Of
| could speak Spanish and not a soul
could speak English He pointed out
! the development of the country under
the American supervision and told of
! the present conditions in the schools
| there, where Row the lower grades are
the branches are taught and manual
| training has also been added.
For young men with a missionary
spirit there is no place where the op-
pOrtunity of serving his fellowman is
so great. There is no place where
! lives can be made to count for so
much as in the Philippines. in the
| schools of those islands. If l have
been instrumental in raising 1900 lives

| work has not been in vain"
After this speech Roy A. Williams.

lation to the audience and the Whit
man authorities are assured they have
one of the most brilliant concert play
ers who has ever appeared in the city.
| His technique is perfect and his play

After the address of welcome to the

cOmbe made her first appearance,
! playing Chaminade's "Scherzo" and
Godard's "Mazurka'' Miss Brans-
comes playing sustains the high rep
utation she has as pianist and her

| monstrated that her playing is entire
ly above the ordinary.

WARDEN K|NCA|D
HAS RESIGNED
Will Take Position with
North Bank Road

Announcement was made today of
the resignation of Warden NJ. F. Kin
caid of the state penitentiary, which
four or five days ago. Mr.. Kincaid
leaves the control of the state prison
to accept a position as assistant SUI
perintendent of the North Bank rail-
road and will take up his new duties
as soon as the state board of con-
troll can secure successor.
Asked about his resignation and it's
causes, Warden Kincaid said today:
Il simply resigned my position here
because | was offered a better job. l
felt that in justice to myself l could
rot afford to turn the position down,
as it is great advance over this one.
There is not the slightest friction
here in the prison or between myself
and the state board of control. | am
simply resigning because the position
is so much better l cannot afford to
lose it, There is not, and has not
been any trouble or friction of any
kind between myself and anyone con-
! nected with this institution.
"Just what my position with the
railroad will be 1 cannot say. l will
have charge of the rail end of the road
as assistant to Marcus Talbot the su-
perintendent. 1t is good position and
one which pleases me very much.
q do not know yet where my Of
fees will be. l do not know either,
just when l will leave, but it will be
as soon as my successor can be
named and can reach the prison.
NO. | cannot say that I am glad to
get the place. | have become interest
! ed in the men and have. I think, help
ed them some. At any rate, they have
| treated me we'll and l would trust
nearly any of them. l did not dislike
the work at ALL but the other posi-
| ton is better one and | cannot ar
| ford to turn it down.
| Mr.. Kincaid has been warden of the
prison for about a year and in that
length of time has inaugurated syS-
tenn which has greatly facilitated the
! handling of the men and the prison de-
! tails.
| News of his resignation has reached
| the prisoners and as soon as the ward
en- steps within the gates OF the prison
he is surrounded by crowd of men
Igarbed in the prison stripes, who with
tears in their eyes, beg hi INTO With
draw his resignation. He has, by his
judicious administration of the prison
affairs, endeared himself to the men
and it is with the greatest regret the
men see him leave.
! AS loathe to see the warden leave
| as the men, are the guards and other
prison officials His resignation is re
GREETED by all and all are sincerely
sorry to see him leave.
! "Never has the prison run more
smoothly and never has there been less
friction said one of the employees at
! the penitentiary this afternoon.
Mr.. Kincaid has had 25 years of ex-
perience in the railroad business, and
is thoroughly competent to fiji the po-
| sition he has accepted. He began as
! q wiper in the roundhouse and worked
his way up as call boy. fireman and
engineer He has had experience in
! all lines of railroad work.
