MESSAGE FROM TAFT
GOV. SHAFRoTH WELCOMES DEL
EGATES AND Ex-Gov. ADAMS
DELIVERS ADDRESS.

Pueblo.-The National Irrigation
Congress opened Monday under the
most favorable auspices, the apparent
disposition being to attend to the work
for which the congress is organized,
and to eliminate factionalism as much
as possible.
Governor Shafroth in his speech of
welcome said that he had been pres
ent at the first Irrigation Congress,
in Salt Lake City in 1891, not as a
delegate but as an interested specta-
tor. He declared that the congress
had exerted a good influence on the
national legislature at Washington; an
influence that led directly to the max
ing of the irrigation laws which the
governor said the people had much
reason to be proud of.
"Nine-tenths of the water that falls
in Colorado leaves Colorado" Governor
Shafroth said. mo adequate attempt
has been made until recently to retain
these waters within the state, for state
use. 1 realize it will not be long be-
will be retained excepting that taken
out under prior appropriations"
The governor pointed out the fact
that the eyes of the world are focused
on the Western irrigation states be-
cause of the wonders that are made
possible only by state conservation Of
state water. For the benefit of dele
gates from other states and from for
eign countries the governor devoted a
mi IN Of 40
irrigation had done and is expected to
do for Colorado. He quoted statistics
which must have been startling to per-
sons not already familiar with the
facts. In conclusion the governor invit-
ed the delegates to see for themselves
some of the best agricultural and hor-
ticultural districts Of Colorado before
going back to their homes. He hoped
they would visit Denver, too.
Mayor Fugard of Pueblo delivered
short, well-worded address on behalf
of the city.
President Fowler responded elo.
quently to both welcoming addresses
at once. and then he read message
from President Taft as follows:
Il regret that my official duties pre-
vent my presence at the National Irri.
cation Congress, as it would be plea
sure to extend personal greeting to
members and to show my regard for
the policies for which it stands and
the work in which it is interested. My
views on irrigation and reclamation
are known from my public utterances,
but wish to take this occasion to eX-
press to the congress my thanks and
the thanks of the country for what
you are doing in the great work Of
roclaiming the land of the arid
districts. trust your counsel may
be wise and your deliberations result
in much good. VIM. II. TAFT"

address by Ex-Governor Alva Adams
of Colorado on Colorado Conquest

jim CORDETT is GOOD EXAMPLE

Cong. Jiror Of Sullivan Never Had
Knockout Wallop--Jeffries a Terrific
Hitter-Johnson Also Has Good Kick.
WoIsast Not Puneher.
"Jack johnson can't hit hard enough
10 hurt Jim Jeffries. How can the
negro expect to put JEFF away when
such hard hitters as Fitzsimmons and
sharkey couldn't feaze himT' are ex-
pressions heard every day in discus
sions Of the coming battle. The fact
that johnson took fourteen rounds to
dispose of Tommy Burns and twelve
for Ketchell are pointed to as recent
evidences OF the lack Of steam in John
sons blows. 1t is strong argument
in many respects, for johnson has not
shown as well at times as men Of less
class against the same men.
But when it is argued that johnson
cannot bit hard enough to beat Jeffrles
the argument is weak Take, for in
stance Battling Nelson. who met de-
feat at the hands Of Ad Wolgast No
body ever accused Wolgast Of being a
hard hitter. Still he chopped Nelson
to ribbons and gave him one Of the
worst beatings any man ever suffered
in the ring. Young Corbett, Aurela
Herrera, Joe Cans and George Mesmic
are some Of the murderous wallpapers
Nelson beat after standing their hard
est blows without wayering.
Jim Corbett never was hard hitter,
yet he easily defeated John L. Sulli-
van. one Of the hardest hitters the
game has ever known. Attell has new
er been regarded as hard hitter. and
yet he held the featherweight cham
nionship for years. Frank Erne. a
clever boxer with only fair walIop.
gave Kid Lavigne his first beating. and
Lavigne was just as tough as Nelson.
Previous to his fight with Nelson the
best Wolgast could boast OF were vic
tories over second raters, and even his
most ardent admirers did not claim
punch for him, yet he put it all over
Battling Nelson.
Jeffries must be recognized as hard
hitter. yet he could not put Tom Shar-
key away 10 twenty to twenty-five
round bouts, and Sharkey was as easy
to hit as q barn door. Sullivan per-
haps never had a superior in hitting
power, yet he was beat by a weak
hitting youngster from California
James j. Corbett. 1t is true that
Johnsons record does not make him
look like hard hitter. vet he was not
beaten for several years previous to
winning the heavyweight champion
ship
Stanley Ketchel says Johnson has d
punch with the force of a mules kick
behind It. There must be something
in that. because Stanley felt the power
OF jacks big mauler
The oil STUFF to the effect that JEFF
fries never dared to hit any man as
hard as he could is too ridiculous for
consideration by any one well posted
IN the game, yet many give II serious
consideration. Still. how could any one
be so silly as TO believe that Jeffries
held back on the steam in his punches
when Fitzsmmons broke his nose and
made his face look like a jellyiish or
IN his two fights With Sharkey. in
which the referee was forced to give
hairline decisions?
