IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The present session of the Ma tional Irrigation Congress at Sacramento is vested with more interest than any yet held. An effort to bring the grievances of several irrigation localities be fore the congress resulted in all debate on these matters being shut off at the outset, the ques- tions being passed up to a com mittee.
 Among the notable speeches delivered were those of Vice President Fairbanks, Chief For ester Clifford Pinchot, Senator Newland and Governor Kibbey. Senator Newland strongly advo- cated a National irrigation board of control, which has many sup porters in irrigation circles, the belief being that the reclamation act gives too much power to one man-the secretary of the inte- rior.
 MT. Pinchot ably defended the forestry servlce policy, and spoke at length upon the general and widespread waste of not only timber but of gas, oil and all our natural resources. In line with the present wise policy of the forestry service, he deprecated the disposition of wastefulness and strongly urged conservation in the interest of posterity
 A motion by a California dele gate to ''repeal the duty on tim Der" caused something of a stir, but a discussion of the question was not permitted, it being re- ferred to committee.

A Pastoral.

It was beautiful night, The gentle zephyrs of the evening played unsteady amid the silky leaves of the turnip trees and the onion bushes and waited delicate fragrance of the growing cab bage and the far-Off odor of the bean trees.

 ''Willyum," she whispered re- sentfully, "why should we want ter buy a pig? Ishan't want ter buy a pig when I've got yew."
 Then all was silent once more, except that that the gentle zeph- yrs still played amid the fropds of the cabbage bushes and the silver throated frog still sang from the roof.-Reynolds' News paper.

Verdict for Dr. Pierce
ladies Home J0urncl.

Sending truth after lie. It is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting it's boots on." and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce and his Favorite Prescription published in the May Q904 number of the Ladies' Home Journal, with it's great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with it's incon- spicuouS heading, published two months later Itwas boldly charged in the Sland- erouS and libelouS article that Dr. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful ingredi- ents. pr. Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies' Home Journal, for S200,00O,oO damages.
 Dr. Pierce alleged that MT. Box, the editor, maliciously published the article containing such false and defamatory matter wiY the intent of injuring his eSSSfurthermore, that no alcohol, or other ksjuriouS. or habit-forming, drugs are. or tSver were, contained in his "Fa- vorite EesgFiption that said medicine is madg fpom native medicinal roots and contaNS/no harmful ingredients what eve2aXd that Mr. Bok's malicious state- mcSx were wholly and absolutely false.

 These facts were also proven in the trial Of the action in the Supreme Court. But the business of Dr. Pierce was greatly injured by the publication of the Hbelous article with its great display headings. while hundreds Of thousands who read the wickedly defamatory article never saw the humble groveling re- traction, set in small type and made as incon- spicuous as possible. The matter was. how ever brought before a jury in the Supreme Court of New York State which promptly rendered a verdict in the Doctors favor Thus his .traducers came to grief and thelr base islanders were refuted.

SALTON SEA HAS NOT IN
 CREASED RAINFALL.

Much has been said about Sal ton Sea and the effect it is sup posed to have on the climate of the southwest, many people being of the opinion that the Salton Sea is responsible for the excess i've rainfall throughout thIs sec tion for the past few years. Prof. Alfred J. Henry in the Monthly Weather Review says that 27 cubic feet of rain fell in Arizona in excess of the average in 1905. This quantity, he says, is twelve times greater than the total volume of the Salton Sea. In other words, the total volume of the latter would barely suffice to produce one-twelfth of the surplus rain that fell in Arizona, to say nothing of the rainfall in adjoining regions. The total amount of water now in Salton Sea, if universally distributed in Arizona, would cover the ter ritory to the depth of about an inch and quarter, or the equiv alent of one good soaking rain. How, then, could the evapora- tion from Salton Sea, even if it amounted to s feet per annum, granting that it was all condens- ed and precipitated to earth, pro- duce the enormous quantity of water that fell in Arizona in 1905?
 AS pointed out by MT. Arthur P. Davis in the National Geo. graphic Magazine, January, 1907, the advocates of the idea that Salton Sea has caused an in crease in the rainfall of the great Southwest seem to have ignored the presence of the Gulf of Cali fornia, body of water hundreds of times larger than Salton Sea, and distant from Arizona about the same number of miles, This water body washes the shores of a region probably as arid as can be found on thls continent. It has done so for centuries, yet no progressive changes from arid to humid conditions have been observed.
 MT. Davis also pointed out that the disaster which caused the formation of the Salton Sea

Late Railroad Story.

A Phoenix correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, under date of Sept. 2, writes;
 The latest railroad story of in terest is that the Southern Pa cific is to have another crossing of the Colorado river to a polnt known as Cocopah Bend, about twenty-five miles north of Yuma, where rock bottom is to be se- cured. The main line referred to is that which is being con- structed down the Gila from San Carlos, through Phoenix. It has been reported that the road would cross the Gila abont ten miles east of Yuma, to a connec- tion with the present line.
 Now. according to private ad- vices, the road is to leave the Gila valley at Arlington, forty eight miles southwest of Phoe, nix, and is to run thence almost westerly to the Colorado, good route without grades having been found past or through the desert ranges that spot the map in that region. On the Califor- nia side an available route has been laid out north of the sand hills to a connection with the present line, about forty miles northwest of Yuma.
 This change would save at least sixty miles over the pro- posed connection at Yuma, and the road, in all, would save fully 120 miles over the route as at present and, even more impor- tant, the new line practically would be without grades.

It is a weakness, or a virtue, of President Roosevelt that he always wants his information as nearly first hand as he can pos sibly get it. For instance, he asked Secretary Root last sum- mer to visit the countries of South America in the belief that a more intimate acquaintance and a closer familiarity with the problems which confront our neighbors to the south would make for more friendly relations and greater success in any dip lomatic negotiations which may arise. The same purpose actu- ated the president when he asked Secretary Taft to go to the Phil ippines and open the Philippine assembly. It is the hope of the president and of Secretary Taft that the Filipinos may be gradu ally educated te point where they can successfully govern themselves. To that end they have been granted an assembly,, every act of which may be ve
 toed by the Philippine Commis sion, which will continue to be appointed by the president. This assembly, they believe, will ena- ble the Filipinos to learn the process of self-government. Mr. Taft goes there first to observe the progress that has been made in the islands since he left there two years ago; and, secondly, to impress upon the people the re- responsibilities which devolve up- on them as a result of the meas lure of self-government which has been granted them.

There is a rumor in circulation that if William J. Bryan will agree to make ex-Senator Petit grew his campaign manager and will, as president, further agree to direct the activities of his de. partment of justice away from those trusts which contribute to his campaign fund, he can have unlimited money with which to gratify his ambition to occupy the White House. The rumor may or may not be true, but somehow it sounds just like Tom Pettigrew.'

CONCERNING WOMEN.

The Oklahoma State Fedora tion of labor, at it's recent meet ing, adopted resolution in ia vor of woman suffrage, and pro- poses to make this a test ques- tion in supporting candidates.
 It is proposed to increase the salaries of the New York City school teachers by three million dollars & year. It was claimed by the opponents of the equal pay bill that if the women were given equal pay for equal work it would cost the city nine mill ions year. So, even if the three million increase goes thro' :, which is very doubtful, the wom en teachers will still be getting six millions a year less than if they were voters.
 Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, with a courage and degree of self-respect worthy of her illus trions mother, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, has brought suit against the management of the Hoffman House, New York, for refusing to serve herself and a woman friend in their roof garden cafe. Why should the vast number of respectable women be constantly subjected to insults because of the existence of that compara- lively infinitesimal5class known as "bad women?"
