LIVE TOPICS FOR
THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Chicago Meeting in December Prom.
Use to Be One of More Than
Usual Interest.

Chicago, Ill.,. Feb. 20-"The people
of the United States are today alive
to the subject OF irrigation" states
Governor Jos. NJ. Carey of Wyoming
With reference to the National Irriga-
tion Congress, which holds its 18th
session in Chicago, December ) to 8,
Governor Carey adds, The Irriga-
ton Congresses have been one OF
the greatest factors in advancing irri.
cation investigations and the promo
ton of irrigation enterprises.
The congresses do not vote money,
nor inaugurate the building OF dams,
or of reservoirs and canals, but they
do bring together scientists, experts
and practical men, which results in
the education of the uninformed, and
in creating a sound public sentiment
on the questions affecting the reclaim
alton of the desert lands of the Unit,
ed States
THE irrigation question is one of
the most important affecting the
state. and territC sicS west uf the ms
scuri river. 1t becomes a great tco-
nomic question to all the people of
the United States. Nothing else has
done as much to bring about the pres
ent favorable conditions as the irriga-
ton congresses. They have done a
great work but the work has just be
gun. These congresses should
be encouraged, supported and widely
attended, and no progressive man can
afford to neglect them"
Governor Carey, after whom ths
Carey act is named, was president of
the National Irrigation Congress OF
1897 at Lincoln, Nebraska, and that
Of 1898 at Cheyenne, Wyoming.

ONLY BASIS
FOR PEACE
Insurrectos Must Lay Down
Their Arms Pending
Negotiations
SO SAYS JOSE LIMANTOUR
Then Government VIII Do Its
Part to Grant the Reforms
Demanded

Paris. Feb. 2O.-In a review Of the
crisis in Mexico made today fer the
Associated Press, Jose Yves Liman-
tour, minister of finance OF Mexico,
declared that the only basis for peace
was that the insurgents lay down
their arms pending negotiations with
the government which on its part
should grant a reform of the evils
that made the revolution possible.
FeudaI System Must Go.
Paris, Feb. 20.-The only alterna.
tive that therefore he saw, was the
probability of a long wasting strug-
gle, for, said the minister, The fed
eral troops are no match for the COW
boy insurgents" In the opinion of
Senor Limantour, the feudal system
of Mexico must go and the great es'
tates to the north which have been
passed from family to family, should
be distributed among the people. For
himself, the minister said he had no
political ambitions, though he had
been frequently urged to contest the
presidency with Diaz. He expects to
start home within two weeks.
Three Suggestions.
Paris, Feb. 20.-Minister Liman.
tour makes three suggestions: First
abuses communicating local admins
trations as in cities and towns which
have the greatest grievances should
be Immediately abolished. Second
some means should be found to al
low the people to share more exten
sively in the holding of land. In the
third place, there is opposition tc
President Diaz on the ground that he
has been too long in office and new
blood is needed to direct the affairs
of the Republic. But" added the
minister, "Diaz was legally returned
to the presidency by the people" 81
dislike to touch on the delicate ques
ton of neutrality" continued the min
lister; but 1 am convinced that the
United States Interpretation is too re

Mexican National Train Held Up.
Torreon, Mex, Feb. 20.-A passen
ger train on the Mexican Nationa
was held up here by band of insur
rectos who burned the Iona bridge
to stop the train. All men in the sec
ond and third class coaches were
searched, and all arms taken. The
train was allowed to return to Tor
reon.
Rumor of Battle.

firmation of the report that Genera
