 The general public has but faint idea of the importance of such a con ference. and of the great benefits de- rived from it by the engineers. the settlers. and ihe irrigation movement generally" said J S Keerl. of Helena. Montana.
 Here was afforded a review of questions whose solution has required muon detailed study. with the result that every ngineer in attendance now has guide ln The future for the soly- ing of similar problems. Here also problems that have been the cause nf friction heretofore between the recla- uatrou service and the settlers were freely discussed. resulting in the es- tablishmeut of more harmonious feeling between the two and a band of closed cooperation"
 "I was lost in wonder and admira- ton at the accomplishments of the reclamation service. ThoroughneSs is the keynote through it all. IL buitls works that are permanent, and it tack les every detail in the same way When the service gOts through with d prob lem you may rest assured that it iS solved. and solved in the best possible way"
 "To the civil engineers in the pri vate practice of their profession this G.4N te course of instruction of immeasurable benefits"
 This is the first public conference that the reclamation has held" said Mir A J Fisk. another local civil en- gineer." and it offered the first oppor- tunity for persons interested to profit from the experience gained in actual construction of irrigation works as we'll as from the wide learning and practical knowledge of the personel .of the reclamation service. We pri- vate engineers hope more meetings of the same nature will be held"
 Mr. C. G. Calwell. settler delegate from the Shoshone project Wyoming said: ''I believe that the settlers should give you all the help and cooperation that they can. but now after three days of deliberation I believe that they cannot give you any if they wanted to.

sir: Recent events have so stirred the minds and hearts of our people that The National Civic Federation believes the hour is timely for a meet ing to consider industrial peace as related to industrial progress. For that reason it is proposed to dedicate especially to the question of Indus trial Peace the first session Of the annual meeting of The National Civic Federation. which will be held in Washington. D. C.. March ,. and :. 1912.
 The industrial Peace session will be presided over by his eminence. Cardinal Gibbons. and it will be held in the Peace Hall of the Bureau of American Republics. on Tuesday. March j. at ten o'clock. The program for this day will be devoted princj pally to the consideration of the sue cessful operation of the Erdman Con- ciliation act. which has long main tained peaceful and industrial rela tions in the business of interstate railways: and to the various effective methods of negotiation between em-
  trated by collective bargaining in such lines as interstate. municipal and interurban railways. the large daily newspapers. the building trades. stove manufacturing. coal mining. brewing and other industries.
 At succeeding sessions there will he considered problems involved in the relation of the public employe to his employer. the people. such as:
 Assuming that strikes in official service are inadmissible. how can public employers secure redress for just grievances which in private em- pIoyment would lead to a strike
 May public employees properly or ganize to better their conditions of employment"
 Pensions for federal state and municipal employees"
 On the third day of the annual meeting there will be sessions of tho federatiOn's departments on:
 Compensation for industrial acci- dents and their prevention. Regulation of interstate and nun icpal utilities
 Regulation of industrial corpora tions
 Pure food and drugs. Reform in legal procedure. and The woman's welfare and the em- ployers' welfare departments. devoted to interesting employers. whether pub lie or private in improving the con ditions under which employees in all industries and in all occupations work and live.
 In view of the direct bearing which the topics mentioned have on the l.public welfare in every state. l have the honor to invite you to send a delegation to Washington. which shall be representative of your state. to participate in this meeting of The National Civic Federation. Very respectfully,
 SETH LOW, President.

Comiskey Back in Chicago from Eastern Trip and Will Wire Phoenix Gossip of Other Sport Branches.
We'll all know today.

We'll all know today
 4 wire from Ed Smith. sporting editor of the Chicago American. to Secretary Welch of the Phoenix board of trade. brought the information that Charles Comiskey. owner of the Chicago White SoX, had been out Of the city. would return last evening and. this morning. will send his am swer to this city's invitation to spend the spring training season here.
 AIr. COmiskey has been in Cincin- nati. probably on business connected with baseball. and that is the per fectly good reason why he has not answered the letter sent last week.
 Smith did not intimate what course the baseball magnate might take. Chicago newspapers have been guess ing that the SoX will make Galveston their headquarters this spring. but as the big boss of that club has been out of town, they could print no authentic news. However. Phoenix enthusiasts are hoping that this city has at least an even chance with the Texas town or any other that may be on Comskey's list

TEXAS NEEDS -
GREAT MEN
xxx. CONQUEST

At OMPEY said that three times he had %triumphed and each
Ill time for the conquest of a continent; first, Africa, then
~ Europe and next Asia, which completed the conquest Of
the world. Texas has three continents of industry yet uncon-
quered; first, Agriculture, then Manufacturing, and next Mining,
and we await the advent in the life of the State of a powerful
man who can take them. Commerce belongs to the country that
can conquer it and we need in Texas mental giants who can
conquer the mighty forces of nature and wave the flag of Texas
over the commerce Of land and sea.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-04-25

Let those who would soar to the altitude of greatness,
subdue nature and conquer commerce, wave a wandmof genius
over our magnificent resources that will widen the industrial
horizon of the State; rise out of the feverish throb Of modern
civilization like a Colossus of medieval times and set up a throne
Of industry in Texas that will levy tribute on the commerce Of
the world. Texas Needs Great Men.
