WRANCLE over
GOVT. POLICIES

SALT LAKE, Aug. ga fight that
VIII be one of the bitterest and most |
important ever waged by Western
arid land owners against the reclama-
tIon policy of the government as it is
now executed and has been for several
years, promises to be the feature of the
great irrigation congress to be held in
Sacramento September 2 to 8.
From advices which reached Salt
Lake yesterday, it is evident that Chief
United States Forester Pinchot's fight
with the Western livestock men as
Isembaed in convention here several
months ago over the administration of
the government forest reserve policy,
lwin be overshadowed tenfold by the
;rogblc between the men behind the
big irrigation Drojects of the Western
states, particularly Arizon and Cali
forslia, and F. H. Newell, director of
| the United States reclamatien service,
and his chief advisers at the coming
irrigation congress at Sacramento.
The nucleus of the trouble is this
fShe private irrigation men claim the
government is encroaching on their
rights and causing them to hose hum
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
through the unfair manner in which
the governments reclamation policy
has been executed. Mr.. Newel1 is open
| ly charged with being autocratic and
unfair
The fight between the reclamation
agents and the private irrigation men
has been growing steadily in intensity
for five years past, until it Is at white
heat.
Back of Newell stands Roosevelt
just as back of Pinchot Stands Roose-
velt--decfare the arid land men of
the West. 1t is the presidents policy
| these men are carrying out. They are
virtually in control of the situation. be
cause Notwithstanding all their wrath
and anger, the only club the irrigation
| men can hold over the president and
Newell is that of public opinion and
the demand for square deal. That is
why the coming irrigation congress
promises to be a mighty lively affair.
About 5000 delegates will attend the
convention. Many of these will be
duly accredited agents Of the United
States reclamation service, appointed
to the congress as delegates by friend
ly governors. mayors or commercial in :
stitutions throughout the West.

RAILROAD
WASHED AWAY

HATTON. Wash, AAg. 26.-Before q
moving wall of water seven feet high
and varying in width from 25 to so
feet, the roadbed of the Northern Pa
eific between Hatton and Connell
crMmbled away yesterday afternoon in
the coulee. so suddenly that a. freight
train coming from the West ran over
the trackless brink unawares and HI. A.
Piegner, riding on top Of the cars, lost
his life.
The track is destroyed in spots for
a distance of several miles.
The freight and passenger trains are
stalled on either side of the washouts,
and the Northern Pacific main right OF
way may be useless for this section
until Tuesday.
The water swept down upon Con-
nell and caused some property dam
age there, moving structures so feet
from their foundations and scattering
the debris, for miles.
So FAR as known no lives were lost
at Connell. although there doubtless
were some narrow escapes.

AMSTERDAM,

AMSTERDAM. Aug. 26.-Every
country of Europe has sent some of its
most efficient secret police to Amster-
dam to keep an eve on the anarchists
who gather here this week for their in

COAL ORDER

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Aug. 26.-Be-
cause of its inability to fill the order,
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company was compelled to de-
cline a contract for 100000 tons of
anthracite, the order for which was
rendered by a representative of the

was willing to pay the regular price
for placing the coal on board vessels
either here or in New York
Another order for 100000 tons of

The great demand for coal by foreign
governments is attributed to the in

used for this purpose and the supply is
not equal to the demand

AMERICAN BAR
ASSOCIATION

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. ga dis
tinguished company gathered this
morning in the city hall to attend the
thirtieth annual meeting of the Amer
lean Bar association. InclNded among
those present were many noted jurists
and men who have served their state
and nation in the highest official posi-
lions.
When no o'clock arrived the hour
appointed for the opening session, sew
eral hEndred members, representing
the pick and flower of the legal pro-
fessioz and every section of the coun-
try, sat before the platform as Presi-
dent Alton B. Parker of New York,
ereG, dignified and kindly Featured,
appeared. He invited to the Iostrum
Ambassador Bryce, who is to deliver
the annual address, and several others
of the most famous members of the as

After expressing appreciation of the
cordial welcome extended to the as
l'ssciation by Portland. President Par
kHr delivered his annual address. which
wUas mastery in dts logical construc-
tim and perspieuous diction, and
which was followed with the closest
/ attention. HIS survey of the recent
, enactments of congress and of the Leg
isfative bodies Of the several states in
tsrested his listeners extremely. His
KEEN raillery at some apparent incon-
grpities and absurdities of certain
i statutes provoked frequent merriment,
/ whEe his learned, yet sometimes caus-
tie, analysis and comments upon more
| serious measures seemed to impress
his professional brethren as judicial
and comprehensive. It was song
paper, bslt the scholarly manner of the
address and the bright humorous
flashes which relieved the long review
OF state legislation served to induce
patience and promote good nature
among the listening lawyers.
Following President Parkers ad-
ldress came reports from Secretary
John H!nkley of Baltimore, Treasurer
Frederick e. Wadhams of New York
and of the executive committee. which
were of interest only to the members
of the association. No general session
of the association was held this after

WHIPPING POST
IS A FAILURE

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 26.-Dis-
approving of the Delaware whipping
post, declaring that it is failure, and
refusing to further lash prisoners, AS
monds Meserve, warden of the New
Castle county workhouse near here,
and one of the leading criminologists
of the country, has resigned.
Meserve, who came from Wellsboro,
Mass, took charge of the workhouse
six years ago. Coming in the wake
of almost general condemnation of the
Delaware whipping post, the attitude
of Meserve will probably result in the
abolition Of the lashing. The warden
says:
Il have made a very careful and un-
biased study of the effect of the whip
ping post on men of this class, and
! have come to the conclusion that it is
all bad. 1t brings out in man all
that is revengeful and hurtful, and he
arrays himself against law, order and
society"
| Mr.. Meserve has lashed hundreds OF
negroes and white men. He has re-
lpeatedly stated that the principle is
wrong, and has strongly advocated
the repeal of the law. He has always
had unanimous support of the work
house trustees in his management o.
the institution, and leaves the position
with the regrets of every member o
the board
