The 18th annual Irrigation Con-
gress was convened at Spokane today
with almost the largest attendance
that ever sat down at the call OF
the chair.
This congress marks the transition
of sentiment from the local and in
SuIar idea in reclamation to the broad
er one of na,Ionai conservation OF
resources, particularly those of the
waterways and the reclamation of
arid lands throughout the country
The congress was originally form
ed to secure the passage of the rec
iamatiOn act, a work in which Sena-
tor Newlands Of Nevada took IA most
prominent part. This act provides a
for reclamation work in II states and
territories and the members of the
congress realized that this sum
would be a bagatelle compared with
the needs. 1t was impossible to get
more at that time, but now things
are different. sentiment back east
is different, they are irrigating in
Vermont and Maine and the country
has heard without a murmur that the
congress wants no less than $4,000
100000 for reclamation and conserva-
ton, George Maxwell declared five
years ago in FL Paso that the fund
should be $4,000. 900 600.
The $4,000. .O00 900 now asked for is
divided into five different purposes.
One billion dollars for drainage of
overtlowed and swamp lands. thus
reclaiming an area equal to loo.000
square miles.
One billion dollars for the reclaim
alton by irrigation of 4oO00,oo0
acres OF arid and semi-arid lands
now part or wholly waste.
One billion dollars to construct
and improve deep waterways. to de
velop thousands of miles of territory
now without adequate transportation
facilities.
One billion dollars for good roads.
and national highways. for the iack
of which the loss to the farm area of
the United States is approximately
$500. .O00, 900 annually.
One billion dollars for forest pro-
lection. refOreStratiOn and cOnServa-
ton of the forest resources, thus as
surfing timber and lumber supplies for
centuries to come.

ANOTHER FINE COPPER
PROSPECT NEAR HERE

Greeley French and one of the Bi-
cot brothers were in the city today
from the Bicot mine, above Jack S
valley.
French owns about 1910 acres OF
land on the mountain above the val
ley, 500 acres of which is untouched
timber. In this tract the BicOt Bros.
have prOSpected a copper ledge until
they are now down l40 feet on it and
the bottom assays $SS.4l IN gold, sill
yer and copper. or this vaiue $Sl is
in copper. The ledge has been pros
pected for several hundred feet and
Frencn and the BicOt's have located
l3 claims on it. The huge amount
of timber, 800 inches OF water and
proximity to railroad makes the
property one of the best undevelOped
ore deposits in the country. There
is no stock for sale.

RUSH EXHIBITS
SAYS TATE

! Once again the call is sent
! throughout Nevada to hurry along
! specimens for the mineral exhibit of
the American Mining Congress. The
| convenes in Goldfield September q,
! and there viii be three weeks work
in classifying. cataloging and print
| ing, so it is absolutely essential and
imperative that exhibits should be
| in GOldfield at the earliest possible
date.
The efforts of the American Min
ing congress commissioners, the two
solicitOrs-ChaTies F. Kapp and
Branch II. Smith, and the press of
the State of Nevada finally are bear
: ing fruit, and cases of valuable min
ing specimens are being unlOaded
daily" said John II. Tate, who has
charge of the classification. 1T
merely goes to show that the people
of Nevada are awakening to the pos
sibiities that the meeting of the
American Mining Congress affords
them, and are responding nObly.
"However, to date, while promises
galore have been received of what is
to come in the near future, only the
following districts actually have all
or part of their exhibits on the
ground: Tonopaa, Lucky Boy, Aus
tin, White Plains, Millets, Icrington.
Lodi and Jessup.
The classification and tabulatiOns
of the specimens are being carried
on Systematically, but the amount of
work probably is not appreciated by
the average mining man. and cOnse-
quently, many are lax in sending in
their exhibits 1t must be under
stood at this time that there are to
be printed pamphlets containing ali
of the data concerning the speci-
mems, and that this IN Itself is a
three weeks job. Therefore it may
be easily seen that if the exhibits
are not in GOldfield by the first of
September at the latest. they run a
chance of receiving but the brief
mention in the catalogue of "TOO
LATE TO CLASSIFY"

ing it so classified !-GOldfiel News.

WOODPECKER
DRILLS POLES

Considerable damage is being don,
. To telephone. telegraph and electric
light poles by members of the wood
pecker family These binds origin
ally built their homes in the dead OF
for some reason best known to them
selves, have come To the conclusion
that the peeled pole offers better
conditions for a home.
They have become SO ravenOus OF
late that their depredations are at
tracing considerable attention am
ong those who are compelled to use
quantities of wooden poles. Their
activities spread over Il wide portion.
of the United States, notably in The
South. Southwest and Central West,
Cedar poles seem TO be the ones
most frequently attack I'd. The birds
bore into them at any height from
the ground. and the holes which they
make are often two or three inches
in diameter and four or five inches
deep. Such an amount of wood drill
ed from a stick of timber which is
carrying Il load of wires naturally
weakens the strength of the line.
1t would, OF course be a diftictAt
matter to eXterminate these birds.
However. this is not desirable. as
they are among the most beneficial
forms of bird life native to this cOun-
try, because they destroy large
numbers OF insects whicn seriously
damage forest and food crops. |,
seems, therefore. that methods should
be undertaken to compel the birds
to revert 10 their former habit OF
boring rather than to SNterminat'
them.
Frequent inquiries have been made
by the Forest Service in this connec-
ton, but he information TO date
which the Government has been able
to obtan is that on a casual inspec-
lion of treated and untreated pole
lines in Louisiana. In that region ii
was found that poles which had been
impregnated with CreOsOte oil were
not attacked by the birds, whereas
untreated poles under the same con-
ditiOns We're very severely injured.
Whether or not creOsOte Will pre-
vent such attack is not definitely
known. but the Service is investisat,
ing this problem. and shorld this oi
prove a preventative. it will fulfill
two fold purpose: 1t will protect the
poles from decay and destruction by
animal life. In southern Indiana.
some members of a traction company
thought they could prevent further
destruction of their poles by filing
the holes in the wood with stones.
The birds, however. simply drilled
around the stones and made the con-
dtons much worse. This apparent
ly does not seem to be Il means OF
preventing their depredations.
