IRRIGATION PLANS PASS
 FIRST STACE
Public Sentiment That Will Be Reflected By the National Irrigation Congress at Albu- querque This Year.
(Ry Marcus p. Day, Secretary Albu-
 querqne Commercial cIub.)

lRy Marcus P. Day, Secretary Albu-
 querqne Commercial club.)
 Centuries before there was any civ iiizaiion along the Atlantic coast sec. tion of this country there were effect. ual, though rude systems of irrigation In operation in the southwest portion or what is now the United States oi America: yet the writer has often heard it said, by residents of the east ern and even of the central western states, that the idea of growing crops of grain, vegetables and fruits upon the arid lands of America, by means or irrigation. originated and was first successfully undertaken by the Nor mon immigrant at the time ot the set clement of the valley of the great Salt Lake.
 Most appropriate was it, then, that fifteen years ago there sprang into ex- istence, full-fledged at it's birth, the organization known as the National Irrigation congress: the child of the ambition, intelligence and patriotism of the men who settled in that south west land to create homes, build for tunes and erect an inland empire.
 4 measure of the fruitage of the ia bors of this organization is bearing now and our people call it good. Re sultant of these labors, the attention of the president and his cabinet was so drawn toward and fixed upon the objects of its efforts as to win their hearty approval at the same time edu- cation followed agitation, that there was also created a public sentiment demanding special provision by which the great burden of the first cost Of the establishment of irrigation sys- tems might be borne by the govern ment, yet with justice to all sections of the country and with the ultimate return to the national treasury of all amounts used in construction of ir- rigation systems. The National Irri- gation congress reflected this public sentiment. The organization was so potential as the congress of the Unit ed States. The latter is but a servant of the people. The voice of the Ma tional Irrigation congress was heard in the councils of the nation and crys- tallized into what is known as the na- tional reclamation act, which became law on June IT. 1902, on which day the president affixed his signature to the act. Since that date operations under the act have been carried on energetically by the reclamation ser vice. In the service are employed more than 1000 skilled engineers and more than 10000 men and 5000 mules and horses are engaged in the con

LICENSES CHANGE IN SHELTER CITY
Tax Rate Also Fixed By the Council at Ten Mills
 This Year,

DOUGLAS Sept 2.-(Special)- At special meeting of rhe city council last night the city tax rate was fixed and a number of saloon licenses were transferred. The tax rate was established at ten mills, a raise of four mills, which is the rate upon which the receipts of the city for the coming year and the expense budget have been predicated. Five saloon Ii. censes, including those of the Boauet and Crystal bars, were transferred from the names in which they were originally issued to the Copper City Brewing company.
 During the session a number of sub, jects were under consideration, among these being the subject of municipal ownership of telephone and electric lighting systems The council with. out much argument decided that the proposition of municipal water works is as great as they care to tackle a, one time.
 The regular monthly meeting of the council will be held next Monday.

struction of the great irrigation sys- tems in all parts of the arid and semi arid America That part of America under the reclamation act has abund- ant reason for congratulation. The process of the work has been rapid The infancy period of the work has
 passed. The president has said, there is now no question where The work will be done, how 1t shall be done or the precise way in which ex- penditures shall be made. All that IS settled, there remains, however, the critical question of how best to utilize the reclaimed lands by putting them into the hands Of actual culuyators and home-makers, who will return the original outlay in annual installments paid back into the reclamation Iund.
 The sixteenth session of the con gress will be held in Albuquerque. N. NJ. beginning September 29, and con tinuing until October 3 The Inter state Industrial exposition will open on the same day as the congress and will continue until October 10.
 The exposition will cover the al most fnnumerable products of the ir- rigated lands of arid America includ- ing agriculture, horticulture and hori- culture. The annual fair which has been held for the past twenty-seven years will be merged into the exposi- tion for the present year.
 The city of Albuquerque entertained the third session of the congress. The congress in it's infancy was well treat ed, and now that it has come to well developed manhood, the city of Albu- querque is proud to extend the right hand of fellowship and do all it can to equal the pace of other cities who have acted as hostess in recent years.
 Albuquerque is beautiful western city of about 25,000 inhabitants. The city was first laid out in the year 1881, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company built its line across the territory.
 A journey to the southland will be interesting and instructive and those attending the National Irrigation con gress will receive for the time and expense necessary return of e thous- and fold.

The FOREGOING question was put TO

rather intelligent looking young man
who was taking his first glimpse OF
the Angel city. He Is not tramp,

stranger, who just had passed through
the gates "but what there might be
such a club here. 1t would come Ia
mighty handy to fellow making his
first appearance"
On being informed no such club ex-
listed in the city, the stranger moved
on, carrying his heavy grip, with
slight suggestion or gathering tears IN
his big, blue eyes.
WHY not q strangers club, indeedI
Beautiful, palm-crowned Los Angeles,

by it's history, but some movements

Why not a strangers club organized

of those coming from particular states.
They give picnics every summer and
a strong fraternal feeling exists be-
