A Distinction,

A Distinction.
A note from J. C. Raybon,
Parkton, R. F. D. l, advises
that the statement in Thursdays
Robesonian that he was tried for
stealing pigs was a mistake. He
writes that he was tried for hav-
ing the pigs in his possession
when they were found with a
search warrant ard that there
was no charge at all Of stealing
the pigs.

EXTRA SESSION CALLED.

General Assembly to Convene
June 18th to Take Action in
Bond Issue Matter.
Governor kitchin issued Fri
day proclamation calling the
North Carolina General Assem-
bly, to meet in extraordinary ses-
sion in Raleigh June IA to take
action as to the impending$3. 43O,
600 refunding bond issue to take
care OF the bonds due July /. The
special session is made necessary
by reason Of the inability of the
Council of State to market the
refunding bonds at this time in
sufficient quantities under the
restrictions Of the legislative act
authorizing them to meet the
July bond obligation.
On May 18, the first date for
the bond sale, 81. 765, 900 were
bid for and all bids were reject
ed. On May % the second bids
were opened and it was found
that there were only bids for
81, 1876, 600, which bids were ac-
cepted. Governor Kitchin has
called on all the banks of the
State to have representatives in
Raleigh June 8 for conference as
as to the bond situation. State
Treasurer B. r. Lacy has issued
a statement in explanation Of the
bond situation in which he re.
views the difficulty experienced
by other States and cities in

Pueblo, Col, Aug. 16.-Active inter

National Irrigation Congress win be
held in 1911 Is now being manifested
Letters TO Secretary Arthur Hooker
and to other officials OF the eighteenth
congress that will meet at Pueblo,
September 26 to 80, indicate this.
So far, there are eight entries: San
Francisco, Chicago. Charleston, St.
Louis. Milwaukee, Rochester, Kansas
City. st. Joseph and some Texas
points.
San Francisco was a candidate last
year at Spokane when Pueblo was sue
cessful. Word received at congress
headquarters here indicates that there
will be renewal of the attempt to Sc
cure the congress. and that San Fran
cisco and California will come to
Pueblo in September with a strong
delegation.
Rochester was also candidate at
Spokane. The theory on which it en-
tered the lists was not because of ir-

Fight for Next National
irrigation Congress is On

Irrigation itself, but growing interest,
Typical now Of the east with reference
to the work Of the National Irrigation
Congress. in the big development work
the congress accomplishes.
This is best illustrated in letter
Secretary Hooker recently received
from Secretary Woodwork Clum of
the Rochester Chamber of Commerce.
He says:
New York's principal interest in
the general plan of irrigation must
necessarily be confined to financial
interest. 1t was upon this theory that
Messrs Russell and Robbins Of Roches-
ter appeared before the irrigation con-
gress at Spokane last year and urged
that Rochester be selected for the
congress in 1911. We hope to have an
active committee at Pueblo next Sep
tember.
Our work in New York is along the
line of intensive farming-of demon
strating manner of cultivating the
soil so that greater productive value
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-08-17

may be enjoyed. The matter of irri-
cation enters into the problem in a
VERY limited degree. We have hun
dred thousand acres, more or less, of
swamp land, and great deal of up
land, that must be drained. This We
|are trying to accomplish through a
campaign Of education, and If there is
amy way for us to cooperate with you,
II will be glad to be SO advised.
Il promised you this: That if the
National Irrigation Congress will meet
in Rochester next year, you will have
at your meetings, men who control
the finances Of the east, and who, when
convinced as to the reasonableness of
an expenditure, will be valuable
friends for your organization and
staunch supporters of your policy"
Secretary Hooker also has letter
from c. F. Garfield. a landman Of
Rochester, who has previously attend
ed irrigation congress sessions and
is familiar with the value of such a
meeting to any town. He says:
Rochester has not given up the
idea of trying to secure the conven-
ton for 1911. and intends to be repre-
sented at Pueblo in September We
believe that you thoroughly realize
with us that if the west is to continue
to secure money from the east for irri-
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-08-17

lgation, it must show us here in the
east. Therefore the quicker your con-
gress comes east, the better off finan-
cially irrigation will be as a national
policy"
Kansas City and st. Joseph, much
for the same reasons. and, as well, be-
cause they are in the great Mississippi
river basin where industrial matters
and manufacture and jobbing for the
great middlewest originate, have their
eyes on this congress. Kansas City
| is the home of Colonel F. w. Fleming,
fourth vice-president of the National
Irrigation congress. and, while favor
able to Pueblo at Spokane last year,
said at the time that he hoped in the
Ivery near future to see Kansas City se-
J cure the congress. Effort is now be-
ling made along this very line.
Milwaukee and the state OF Wis
Iconsin are ambitious. and for this rea-
son have picked strong delegations to
the Pueblo congress in September. The
Milwaukee News said only few days
ago, commenting on this fact:
"The delegates will make an effort
to induce the congress to hold its
meeting next year in Milwaukee and
a special committee of Milwaukee
boosters will probably attend this
meeting this year for that purpose.
"a. j. Cobban, clerk in the office
of the secretary Of state and a mem
ber Of the executive committee Of the
congress, has secured assurances from
the delegations Of the states of Ore
gon, Washington. California, Montana
and Utah that they will cooperate
with the Wisconsin delegation in try
ling to land the next congress for Mil
waukee. The congress usually has an
attendance of $500 delegates"
There is also the possibility of
Charleston, South Carolina, which sent
a fine delegation to Spokane last year,
and st. Louis, entering the lists Both
have already put out feelers, and will
probably come up strong at the Pueblo
meet.
AS to 1912, Phoenix, Arizona. which
by that time hopes to have the great
Salt Sal river project, the Roosevelt dam,
completed, has already signified its
candidacy. There was some talk of
Phoenix for 1911, but President Fow-
Ter of the congress, who lives at
Phoenix, said on recent visit to
Pueblo that he did not believe his
town would be ready before 1912.
Doubtless there will be other en-
tries withia the next few weeks. for
the sessions of the National Irrigation
congress are a prize eagerly sought by
alert cities.

LAST YEARS OLD CALENDAR.

The last years old calendar
Still hangs on the wall;
How pretty we tho't it.
Because It was small.
Torn, shabby, old-fashioned.
It now looks detected
Beside the brand new one,
Seems old and neglected.
The new ones appropriate
A cold winter scene:
With snow storm prevailing,
Old Santa. with reindeer for team.
Will look rather curious
A few months from now
Az we'r swelt'ring and painting
With harvester and piow.
But we welcome each season,
Winter, Spring, Simmer, Fall,
For each have their missions
For coming at all.
So farewell to the calendar
OF old nineteen ought nine,
With it's beauty gone, forever
To join ''Old Father Time"

The proposed route of the
Boise Butte covers in part the
survey for a road into the Basin
made several years ago made by
the Barber Lumber company,
and for it's entire distance
through the state the Pittsburg-
Gilmore survey, stakes for
which were driven last summer.
Over a part of this same route,
through the Boise canyon, Ore
gon Short Line surveyors have
been working on survey in
procuring an entrance to the
city for the main line, by route
which it is stated although car
trying a little heavier grade in
places will shorten it in distance
in crossing Lincoln, Elmore, Ada
and Canyon counties.
The construction of road ov-
er the proposed route will tap
that section of the state which is
believed to contain Idaho's rich

ces, provide transportation to
the lumber companies in getting
timber to the mills and open up
a vast market for Boise valley
and Southern Idaho agricultural
products.
The route as indicated by the

Boise Butte road, is identical
with one of the routes indicated
in the articles of incorporation
of the Pittsburg & Gilmore as
Iamended several months ago. In

which is already engaged in ac-
