irrigation Congress Turns Down Free
Lumber Resolution.

Sacramento, Sept. 9.-The effort To
have the 18th irrigation congress rs, 40 a
presented by Judge Raker,
cailing for the withdrawal Of the duty
levied on lumber failed. Another i'm
portsnt action of the gathering satur-
oay was it's decision to eliminate a res
oiution protesting against the enactment
OF any further legislation favoring Phil
ippine sugar. With this latter excep-
tion, the report Of the committee on
resolutions. was adopted 'as,read and the
policy Of Pres dent Roosevelt and his
administration in relation to reclama-
tion, conservation Of water and forests
and other matters was endorsed.
Judge Raker withdrew his motion
Tor the purpose Of harmony, but the
sugar question was only settled after
great discussion, the friends Ct the beet
sugar industry making a strong fight in
their interest. The sentiment IN favor
Of eliminating politics from the con-
gress was responsible for the withdraw
ais OF the lumber and sugar PROPOSE

Arthur Briggs succeeded in getting
the congress to pass his resolution In
the interests Of California fruitgroyers.
IN relation to the use Of sulphur in dry
ing fruit. The resolution asks the de-
partment Of Agriculture not to enforce
the regulation Of the pure food law in
the matter without further inyeetiga-
ton.
The congress adopted unanimously
the report Of the committee on perma-
nent organization. The newly elected
officers are: Frank c. Goudy, Of Dem
yer, president; George E. Barstow, Of
Texas, fret vice president; John E.
Baker, Of MOdoc county, California,
second vice president; Herbert z.
Strain, OF Montana, third vice presi-
dent; q. B. Fowler, of Arizona, secre-
tary.
Albuquerque, n. NJ, was selected as
the meeting place Of the 18th irrigation
congress. The only city named in op-
position was Walla Walla, Wash. DR..
Bialock, of the Washington delegation,
extended the invitation on behalf OF
that place. Hon. R. f. Twitchell, of
Las Vegas, n. NJ, made an eloquent
appeal for Albuquerque. With the ex-
ception Of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, the state delegations voted for
Albuquerque. California was excused
from voting at the request Of Chairman
Estudillc, who said the delegates did
not care to be discourteous to the repre-
sentatives of the two cities, as they
were their guests.
After a few other matters were dis
posed Of the congress adjourned.

He had handed out number of de-

home team felt that it got the worst
of the decisions, and of course the
crowd thought so, too. We won the

tried to get away but they caught
him and were handling him pretty
roughly, till some fellow suggested
that they duck him. There was no
pond handy, but the water barrel,
where the players quenched their
thirst, was near, and they tried to
poke him into it, but he managed to
squirm out of it. Finally some one
got a bucket and proceeded to
drench him thoroughly, throwing
water all over him. He looked like
