Appropriate SIS, 900, 900 to
Be Repaid Within One Hun
dred Years.
WANT UNCLE SAM TO

Governor Hay in Making Ad-
dress of Welcome Today
Tells of the Great Work
Which Has Been Done.
(Amerrcan News Service)

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 9.-The Seven
teenth national irrigation congress
opened it's sessions here today ready to
consider a proposition for the govern
ment to issue S5.oOOoOO worth of
bonds redeemable in one hundred
years for the development of the west.
The resolution putting forward this
proposition contains the unique offer
that the government shall not appro-
pirate cent but derive it's return
from the revenues of the improve
ments. In other words Uncle Sam will
act as the banker.
Among the speakers today are
George Ames Barstow of Texas, presi-
dent OF the congress: Joseph Nj. Carey
Cheyenne, Wyo.: DR.. Enoch A. Bryan,
president of the Washington state
college: F. Fl. Newell, director of the
United States reclamation service; DR.
George c. ParGee, ex. Gov. of Califor-
mia: James J. Hill, head of the Great
Northen railway. company and Gov
ernor Hay of Washington.
Conditions, the outgrowth of an
other development Of this country
have forced upon us the necessity of
reclaiming our waste areas and adopt
ing more economical methods in utili-
zation." said Gov. Hay in his address
of welcome today.
History Repeating.
History is repeating in America
the experience of the older seats in
%,,~v, ,f,or <<
the countries of Europe for examples
in seeking scientific and effective
methods of conserving and perpetual
ing the gifts of nature upon which we
depend not only for economic pro-
gress. but for sustenance itself.
PROCLAMATION was used by the Chi
nese forty centuries ago. The waters
OF the Nile were diverted while the
pyramids were building. Irrigation is
prehistoric.
Doing Great Work.
ut is estimated that 13.o00,0O acres
were irrigated last year west of the
Mississippi. Forty-two millions of
dollars have been expended since the
formation Of the United States reclaim
alton service. The possibilities are
great. We can reclaim 75.O0O,OO acres
of swamp land by drainage; we could
secure use of 35OOO,OOO more by wat
er courses Since 1900 the yearly
damage by floods is $255 100000. This
could largely be prevented by pro-
tecting the sources Of the streams and
by forest growth
Last year this association had 100
men in the field and expended $2o.-
OOO,OOO At the present time, too, we
are wasting 65 per cent of the lumber.
We are consuming 40 cubic feet per
year: the growth is IL cubic feet. This
is not a cheerless picrure-only fact

At Methodist Celebration One
Of Features Will Be
"Line Reading"
BADGES ARE NOW READY
THEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED At
THE CHURCHES, SUNDAY-coM.
BlNED cHoIRs ARE TO FURNISH
MUSIC.

One of the features Of the Method
at Glen Miller park, August 10. will
be the old fashioned line singing num-
Der of the afternoon program. 1t was
the custom when Methodism made it's
advent in this county for the circuit
rider minister to read line or two
of a song and then lead. The con-
gregation was supposed to remember
the words and follow the minister.
The minister in those days was the
only one who possessed a song book.
The concert to be given by the COM
bined Methodist choirs of the city in
the evening will be one of the best
ever held in the city. A rehearsal
will be held next Friday evening and
a number Of other times before the
centennial date.
Yesterday. a number of local Meth
odists visited all the Methodist
churches in the county and issued
special invitations for them to take
part Centennial badges bearing a
picture OF John Wesley and an
nouncement Of the celebration were
distributed. Methodists from out Of
the city were urged to attend, partic-
ularly that they might hear Bishop
Moore and Bishop Berry make ad-
dresses in the afternoon and evening,
respectively. 1t is probable that this
will be the only time that it will be
possible for local persons to hear
these two men.
Special announcements Of the cele-
bration will be made in the local
churches next Sunday morning and
evening. The distribution Of badges
will also be made at this time.

An important change In foot ball
rules was made by the intercollegiate
foot ball rules committee which COM
pleted its session in New York on
Saturday, in the reduction of points
for a goal from the field from four to
three. The object for this change. it
was said, was to prevent two goals
from the field counting more than a
hard-won touchdown and goal.
Commenting on the change, mem
bers of the committee said that 1t
would reduce the Importance OF teams
of star field goal kickers and make 1t
harder for a mediocre team with a
good kicker to beat out q better all
round team without star kicker.
Another change of Importance was
one designed to prevent confusion in
conflicting penalties when two penal
ties had been incurred by one team
for the same play. by giving the Of
Tending team the option of saying
which penalty shall be imposed.
A substituted pitcher must pitch
