LIVE TOPICS FOR ORATORS
AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS
MEN OF NATIONAL REPUTE TO
SPEAK
California Will Be Well Represented
at Sacramento in September.
Water and Timber Sup
ply to Be Discussed

Various civic and other organizations
in Southern California have appointed
delegates to attend the fifteenth national
irrigation congress to be held at Sacra-
mento, Cal, beginning September 2.
The official program includes the
names of many men of national prom
inence. One of the star features Oh the
program will be an address by vice
President Fairbanks, who can always
be counted upon to speak forcefully on
the subject of the irrigation movement.
Senator Newlands of Nevada, author or
the national reclamation act, has con-
scented to address the congress. Other
eminent statesmen are on the list
The inland waterways commission, re-
Gently appointed by President Roosevelt,
will be represented by a majority of
it's members This commission has in
hand one of the most important func-
lions ever entrusted to a national COM
mission of the same character. Its mis-
sion and work will be explained and the
relation of the resultant benefits to ev-
ery national material interest pointed
out.
Hon. F. H. Newell, director of the
national reclamation service, is prepar-
ing a lecture on the work of the service.
The address will be profusely illustrat-
ed with stereopticon views of the va
rious projects in progress of construc-
ton under the auspices of the depart
ment of the interior.
A number of spirited and illuminating
debates have been arranged between
prominent advocates of the new national
policies of irrigation and forestry, ana
their administration, and no less prom
inent critics of both. This ought to
prove a valuable feature of the proceed
ings of the congress

CRITICAL PERIODS
IN TWEL We MONTHS
HOW FINANcIERs ARE KEPT
GUESSING
The Sprinetime, September and De-
cember Cause Anxiety at Lead
Ina Financial centers-The
Autumn Test

An actually strained financial situation
has to pass in the course of single
twelvemonth three distinct periods of dis
tress and difficulty. They occur in general
at the opening of springtime, and In the
first weeks of September and the last days
of December, says the New York Evening
Post. 1t is at or around these dates that
the actual character of a financial market
is usually to be discovered However ap-
pearances may be confused or disguised
at other times, market where something
is radically wrong cannot pass any one
of these three periods with impunity.
The light cast on real conditions by the
markets of last March and of December,
September and April 1906, and of Decem-
ber 1905, was so clear as to reverse com
pletely many judgments previously held
with confidence by Wall street. The stub
born strength with which the markets
passed through the last few days OF 1900,
despite the extravagant rates required for
money, was, as it turned out, a very fair
reflection of a condition of things which
continued to exist for at least eight
months longer. The same may be said OF
the very different action of the markets
at the close of 1906. Looked at in retro
spect. the bewildered liquidation and fall
in stock exchange prices at that time,
despite the fact that money was easier
than a year before, fairly foreshadowed
what has happened since.
The Autumn Test
The autumn test has perhaps been as
rule the one which. more than either of
the others, has marked an actual change.
1t did so most emphatically in such years
as 1901 and 1902, when nobody could have
known, until the money market frightened
in September Just what the character and
prospect of the season actually were.
| Until the early autumn days there was
| very general belief that, in 1901, the vio-
| lent stock exchange boom" of the pre-
yious April was to be resumed, and that,
in 1902, the excited midsummer speculation
| for the rise was to continue. No one con-
| tinued to maintain such beliefs very lar
into September.
| Conversely, it was rather generally be-
lieved, during August, 1908, that severe
money stringency was before the markets
| in September 1t did not come; low rates
for money and comfortable level for the
bank surplus were maintained, and even
the autumn disturbances of Industrial
markets did not disguise the fact that, in
its fundamentals, the financial situation
had altered distinctly for the better, and
that the remedy of liquidation had gone
far to effect cure 1t remains to see how
1907 will pass through this September test
"a test more interesting because of the
great diversity of opinion, among practi-
cal banking experts, as to what will hap
pen.
