HISTORY was made last week Al
IL Kansas City when $50 farmers
and their representatives. gathered
from the various western states
.coolly forced into wedlock with an
other organization. one OF the Oldest
organizations Of the west-The Inter
national Irrigation congress.
For a public organization It had
reached a ripe old age. for It was Is
years old the day the wedding was
solemnized and it lost its identity. For
IS years the irrigation congress-firs;
the National Irrigation congress, then
the International Irrigation congress
had met regularly and some great
men had prOpouuded their ideas and
as great men had assailed the ideas
Of others as great. Delegations have
gone TO its meetings in special trains
that other delegations might not Sc
cure favorable approval for certain
legislation or uufavorable approval for
other legislation or legislative plans
Time was when what the Irrigation
congress said carried great weight.
Mighty battles have been waEed on
the floors when its delegates were in
session
For almost a decade FL Paso and
Colorado went at each others throats
at each recurrent meeting OF this body
over the proposition OF whether the
waters OF an interstate stream be-
longed TO the state where they orig
mated or 10 the state or states that
had first appropriated them.
Representing such a large constitu-
ency, the action Of this convention has
always been looked uDon as having
great weight with the interior de-
partment and upon congressional leg
islation- Some OF the biggest men OF
the country have been at the head OF
the rganization-notab senator
Clark. congressman Mondell. and 9TH
ers Of equal prominence. including
our own Richard F. Burgess.
William Jennings Bryan made one
OF the great speeches OF his career
when. in its sessions at Puebla. Colo,
in 1910, he matched oratorical wits
and words with the ablest men OF Col
orado and left nothing but a greasy
spot OF his opponents in a debate N
which he took the side in favor Of pri-
ority Of rights as the proper claim for
water from an interstate stream

defensively for long time yet ny falling back to rea-

HARVARD BOYS JOIN
NEW NATIONAL ARMY
GRANGE GIVES DANCE IN HON.
OR OF BOYS WHO GO TO
FIGHT FOR COUNTRY

MARVARD.-Eugene Cochrane ano
John M. Engel, both popular young
farmers of this section, were among
those called to go to Camp Fremont
August 9th. Eugene is son of Mrs
Orpha Cochrane of Chambers Flat
and is a native son of this section and
since the death of his father three
years ago has farmed the place for
his mother. John is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Engel, ST., of Fairbanks
and since coming here four years ago
has hewed a farm out of a tract of
cut over land which he bought from
the Potlatch Lumber Co., on the hill
southeast of town, and was an active
leader in Sunday school and church
work in Harvard. He left immedi-
ately after receiving his summons for
Fairbanks to visit his parents before
leaving for the training camp.
Harvard Grange, of which Eugene
was a member gave a dance in his
honor Saturday evening which was
enjoyed by good crowd. Monday,
accompanied by his mother and sister
and other relatives and friends, he
left for Moscow to answer his coun-
trys call. Both young men are of
the highest type Of American man
hood whose coI1raUo and vo1o, hos
never been doubted. They have made
good in civil life and will do as much
for Uncle Sam. Both were presented
with soldiers comfort kits by the
Harvard Red Cross. Theh many
friends here join US in wishing them
good luck and a safe return. 4

FRENCH CITIES ARE GROWING
Secondary Municipalities and Towns
Are Gaining Rapidly by I'M
migration.

Paris.-The statistics for the popula-
tons Of the secondary cities and towns
of France, completed before the exo-
dus from Paris began, show an extraor-
binary increase owing chiefly to the
immigration Of foreign and colonial
workmen employed in munition and
other factories.
Marseilles, with about 100000 inhab-
itants when the war began, has now a
population of more than 100000.
With the many refugees from the
towns about Paris, evacuated because
of the German advance, and with some
of the population of Paris which flew
from the big cannon that figure may
be said to be even higher. Lyons has
increased it's population from 100000
to 100000, without including additional
thousands in the suburbs. Bordeaux's
has risen from 261,67S to
325, 900, and the suburban parishes
have grown from $500 to 120,855.
Havre has increased from 1860 to
$4,000 without including the garrison
of 10000 foreigners and $4,000 ref
ugees, mostly Belgians.
