SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. S.-A new
constitution in prospect. warm fight
over the selection of the next meeting
place, and the possibility that Cover
nor John F. Shafroth of Colorado will
be factor in the campaign for the
presidency today occupied the pre-con-
Vention thoughts of the delegates ia
the national irrigation congress, which
will convene at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The new constitution for the con-
gress is the result of a friendly warfare
between the executive heads and the
board of control for active manage
ment.
At this time business-like manage
ment is impossible according to sew
eral officers, because there is nothing
in the present constitution empower
ing them to act with the desired lat
itude between sessions. The new con-
stitution will enable the executive
heads to work throughout the year
with sufficient legal powers.
San Francisco, Ell Paso, Chicago, St
Louis. Pueblo and Rochester are the
more active cities in the race for the
next convention. 1t is said Denver
will lend it's aid to Pueblo. San Fran
cisco perhaps has the strongest dele
cation in the field and is advertising
heavily.
L. Baeta Neves, chief engineer of
the department of public works, state
of Minas, Brazil, probably will reply
to the address of welcome on behalf
of the foreign representatives. China
is represented by Moy Back Hin.
Germany has sent NJ. Koumanns OF
Berlin. Don Alberto Alibaud repre-
cented Chile. H. Uyeno Japan and Eu-
gene Skorniakoff is here representing
the imperial government of Russia.
James ]. Hill, chairman of the board
of directors of the Great Northern rail-
way, has telegraphed he will not be
present. He has sent a letter which
will be read. Nearly 1000 delegates
were registered tonight, and it is ex-
pected that nearly 5000 will be in the
city before tomorrow night.

CHOICE OE TWO EVILS

When Charles Dudley Warner was
the editor of the Hartford Conn.,
Press back in the '6Os, arousing the
patriotism Of the state by his vigorous
appeals, one of the typesetters came ir
from the composing room and planting
himself before the editor. said: "Well
Mr. Warner, I've decided to enlist In
the army"
With mingled sensations of pride and
responsibility Mr.. Warner replied en-
couragingly that he was glad to see
that the man felt the call of duty.
"Oh, it isn't that" said the truthful
compositor but I'd rather be shot
than to try to set any more of your
copy. ."-CleVeland Leader.

The waste wood heap continues to diminish

The waste wood heap continues to diminish
and pass away
Massachusetts manufacturer of brushes
recently made discovery In Maine which
supplied him with material exactly suited
to his purpose He went to the Pine Tree
state to buy wood for the backs Of hair
brushes and the handles of shaving brushes,
and chanced to visit the yards Of a spool
maker who using white birch. The spool
man took the white part Of the wood only
and was throwing away the red hearts ThoI-
sands of cords had been burned or dumped
into the lake to be got rid Of
The red hearts were exactly what the brush
maker wanted and at little more than the
expense Of freight he supplied his factory.
This is typical Of the trend Of manufactur-
ing. Waste of wood Is still great, but 1t is
decreasing. What one factory cannot use
another turns to profit. Formerly mills threw
away half the forest-tops left in the woods,
sawdust dumped in streams to pollute them
and destroy fish, slabs burned in perpetual
bonhres, and defective logs and low-grade
lumber abandoned as not worth moving.
Odds and Ends Used
This policy does not generally prevail now.
Some mills have put in machinery 20 work
up their own by-products, others sell their
waste to manufacturers who can use It, as
and uses of woods are now subjects of careful
investigation, and the problem OF turning to
account the odds and ends and the by-products
is brought more to the front now than for
merly.

up this study in a comprehensive and sys-
tematic way. Investigations of the woods Of

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. S.-From a
heap of more than 10000 envelopes,
drawing will be begun at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning to decide the win
ming applicants for lands thrown open
to entry and settlement in the Occur
d'Alene reservation. The envelopes are
now in sealed cans at the Occur d'Alene
land office.
To convince the people who watch the
ceremony that the proceeding is regu
lar, the cans will be cut open on a big
wooden platform. The envelopes will
be mixed with shovels and the selection
Of the first 100 will be made by Miss
Helen Hamilton of Occur d'Alene. Each
envelope as drawn will be opened by
the land officers and the name an
nounced.
The drawing of 5000 applications for
the Flathead reservation will be done
Thursday and Friday and the 250 for the
Spokane reservation Monday, August 16.
After 100 applications of the Occur
d'Alene reservation have been drawn
by Miss Hamilton, two other girls will
help her until 1900 have been taken,
about twice the number of homesteads
on the reservation. A similar procedure
will be followed as to the other reserva-
tiOns.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-09
APPLICATIONS Are Many

The grand total of land applications
now reaches S6,238, about 100 having
arrived in today's mail Less than an
other 100 is expected tomorrow morn
ing before 9 o'clock. The net number
of available homesteads, according to
official figures given out tonight, are:
Spokane reservation, Al; Occur
d'Alene, 1850 Flathead, 2400.
1t is intimated, however, that for
various reasons these may be in
creased. Some may prefer an eighty
,acre tract of choice land to 100 acres
less valuable.
The total acreage in the Coeur
d'Alene lands is a little over 200, 900, ex-
cluding Indian allotments and sections
reserved by the government.
A Coeur d'Alene capitalist has Of
fered $40, 900 to whoever draws the first
number, but as the government regula-
tions prohibit any traffic in the lands
there is no way that he can secure it.

The meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association Of Hattiesburg held at
Odd Fellows Hall last night, was the
largest and most enthusiastic gather
ing in the history of that excellent or
ganization. A number of new men,
,bers were added and others signified
their intention of enlisting in the
movement later on.
Mr. H. Katz, temporary secretary,
rendered his resignation, as his other
interests were such that he said that
he could not devote sufficient atten-
tion to the affairs of the association.
]. T. Williams was elected permanent
secretary and will devote his time to
the promotion of the interests of the
organization. An office will be open
ed in the business district where Mr..
Williams will be accessible to the gen.
eral public and convient to the men,

An important matter which came up
for consideration at last nights meet
ing was the entertainment of the State
association which meets in Hatties-
burg during the month of May. 1t
was agreed that an elaborate program
of entertainment should be provided,
but the hour was late and it was de-
'cided to defer the appointment of the
necessary committees until next Tues
day night, when definite steps will be
taken to arrange for the convention.
1t is said that several hundred dele
gates will attend the forthcoming con-
vention. These will represent the re-
tail merchantile interests of all the
larger towns and cities of the State.
hence 1t is especially important that
their stay in Hattiesburg be made both
pleasant and profitable.
