The Denver Conference.

What apparently looks like a very
interesting program has been arrang-
ed for the conference to be held at
Denver next week which was called
by Secretary Lane to discuss irriga-
ton matters pertaining to the north
west. Unfortunately Mr.. Lane will
not be able to be present, but he will
have a personal representative pres
ent who will act for him.
1t is proposed to divide the confer
ence into sections, which will deal
with the following subjects:
/. Cooperation between State and
Nation.
2. Carey Act projects.
3. Irrigation Districts.
4. Administration and operation
OF desert land act.
5. Settlement OF irrigated lands,
crops, markets, finances.
6. Ways and means OF financing
future work.
mediately following the meeting OF
the governors of the western states
which is to be held in Denver or
April and 8.
The Irrigation Conference will be
open to anyone interested in the gen
eral subjects to be discussed. Tn,
limited time will make it impossibl,
to consider any but the larger sub
jects in connection with irrigation
generally.
Individual projects will not be dis
cussed. excepting, perhaps. as the.
may bear upon the general question
under consideration.

The Hollister Herald has evidently
seen or heard OF some of the results
of Don Bark's experiments on the
duty OF water. for it takes occasion to
copy a recent editorial in the Times
relative to the land board turning
down his application for further
funds. and preceedes the same with
the following: "The Herald takes
pleasure in bringing to the attention
of it's readers on the Salmon River
tract, the following editorial which
appeared In the latest issue OF the
