NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS AT PUEBLO WILL BE
 LIVELY.
WATER RIGHT CONTESTED
New Mexico, Texas and Kansas Dele- oatiors Opposed to That of Colo rado-Bryan and Others Ad-
 dress Opening Session.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 16.-Second on- ly in importance to the subject of irri- gation itself, the question of state versus federal control of waters and natural resources looms large before the eighteenth National Irrigation congress which opened here today.
 The fact that the meeting place is this year in Colorado, which state has several very important interstate streams rising within its borders, gives the local people an unusual in- terest in this phase of the meeting. The Colorado delegates, both from the San Luis valley and from Denver, are prepared to attack the governments position in refusing reservoir sites in the San Luis valley while the water of the Rio Grande Is flowing out of the state because it is claimed it may be needed for the Eagle dam project.
 New Mexico and Texas have sent unusually strong delegations to resist any attempted action on the part of Colorado looking to state control of water The Kansas delegation will work with New Mexico and Texas on this question, as the use of the Arkan- sas waters in Colorado is preventing Kansas from filling her irrigation ditches, and within the last few weeks Kansas interests have entered suit. as a sequel to the famous Kansas-Col- orado case, to secure some of the Ar kansas waters.
 In connection with the congress Is held this year a splendid National Ir- rigation exposition, where delegates and visitors see the practical results of the irrigation work. This exposi- ton was opened this morning.
 Bryan Talks at First Session.
 The congress proper opened this af- ternoon, with addresses of welcome from Governor Shafroth and others, and responses by the officers of the congress. The chief addresses of the session were made by William Jen- nings Bryan and Former Governor Al va Adams of Colorado.

PRESCOTT PUBLIC
 SCHOOL OPENS

Our public school opened this morning with the largest first day attendance in it's history. While the exact figures were not obtainable at noon, there were over 500, and the sixth grade was so large that it was necessary to divide it between two teachers. There were over 70 Tn the high school department which establishes the wisdom of erecting a separate building for this department.
 The teachers were assigned to the different grades as follows:
 1st grade-Mrs. P.F. Chappell

One of the most remarkable
families the world has ever known
will be in Tacoma tomorrow. 1t
is truly a wonderful family, one
the like of which few living beings
have ever seen.
Probably not in the whole city
is there a man or woman who has
seen the famous hunchback of his
tory and his three little ones to-
gether at the same time.
That curious family, which
dates it's geneology back through
centuries has been united but
twice, but these reunions were SO
long ago that it is hardly probable
that anybody in this city recalls
them today.
Science maintains that all
things age, that every living thing
withers away into nothingness; ii
also asserts that the father must
necessarily be older than his child /;
that it is impossible for three chill
dren born at widely different
years to be triplets.
Be that as 1t may. We do not
intend to start an argument with
learned scientists.
l But we do know that arithme-
tics say theirs an exception 20
every rule. Maybe the hunchback
and his three little ones are the
exception to the rule discovered
by the scientists.
We don't say that they are, and
we don't say that they are not.
We merely say that while this
globe has been blessed with many
historical characters, both good
and bad, none can ever achieve
the fame nor the deeds of this
hunchback, not to say anything
about his dear little ones.
To begin with, they are unique.
The hunchback has often moved
about throughout the country, es-

qREAT Events GIVE 1910 HIGH PLACE IN HISTORY

place in history as a year I'M

Foremost, the year 1910 saw a.

A far-reaching event was the
passing of an entire continent

hands of politically organized la

as the chief officer of the nation.
The first step to taking away
