Congress was held this evening To-

spoke on the storage of California

Fairweather declared that too much

home initiative Funds secured were
almost useless unless the formation
of vigorous local associations to car
ry on the work assured good living
conditions for the settlers He said
the present wide EXPANSION Of pump

the end be a failure. The impoundine
of water in vast reservoirs and the
equitable distribution through surface
bitches was the only economical meth
cd and could be maintained only on a
large scale to do justice to any con

The mission is officially describ-

act for both governments. and
it is probable that like authorize

conferred on them. Russia, it is

conferences which preceded the
