Many men and women distinguished in
official and social life of Washington were
present.
The brilliant court dress of meTibtn of
the diplomatic corps rave a picturesque as
pert to tlie annua! function which throe gh
out w marked by an absence of for
mality. The number of small children
who were brought by their parent to
hake hand with the prerdTt waa un
precedented.
The weather waa cool and bracing; and
the thousand of people who assembled to
greet the preaident and Mrs. Roosevelt
showed the utmost g-ocd ntur during thelt
Ion? wait in the White House grounds be
fore they gained admlaaion to the mansion
There waa less haale than is usual lo

In the red room throughout the function.
There were also receptions at the home

The closing- of all the government de

abled thousands of officials and employe
to participate in celebrating- the day. Presi
dent Roosevelt, after receiving" at the
White House, took a long cross-country
bcrse back ride.

A shadow of sadness waa cast over the
company by the recent terrible calamity,
which has fallen upon the Italian people,
whoa aumhs .dor waa present as tit dean
of tbe diplomatic" . corps, and by the
absence of the representatives of the em
peror of China, who la wearing; a badg-e
of mourning; for tha late emperor and
dowager empress tf bis country.
To Mr. Roosevelt the occasion was
memorabie beyond any In which he has
participated since h's elevation to the presi
dency. In the exchange of salutation there
w.-re many reference to the events of hit
career during; the coming; year, when lie
will face the dangers of the African
w .Iderness. As many of those present
have come into office during- his admin
ittratl. n and with him will retire to pri
vate life after March 4 next, there were
abundant subjects for conversation con
cerning the uncertainties of the new year.
Great Crowd la Waltiag.
Several hours before tbe formal recep

Women, representing every socal class, be
gan to assemble in front of the beautiful
portico cf tbe historic white mansion,
waiting- an epport unity to enter and be pre

j (From a Staff Correspondent)
I WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 (Special Tele
i gram ) The Irrigation project now under
j pror-ess cf construction In western Ne
I braska and eastern Wyoming Is causing
both projector and beneficiaries consid
erable inconvenience, one because they
cannot complete it at once and the other
because they cannot have water turned
on their lands at once. The farmer liv
ing in the proposed Irrigated area are
urging upon Director Newell the necessity
for early completion
Senator Burkett ha taken the matter
up ml;h Mr. Newell, and at a recnt eon-
ferenr between the two the situation was
pretty thoroughly canvassed.
According to Mr. Newell. !t Is Impossi
ble to set an exact day upon which the
completion of the work may be expected,
depending as it does upon the rapidity
with which funds may be provided. The
fact that homesteaders along the uncom
pleted portion of the work are growing
discouraged Is one of the features that
wss anticipated when the work was be-g-an.
It was then even tifged hat the
land should be withdrawn from entry,
since it could not be foretold upon what
portions water could be diverted. This
waa done, it Is said. In one or two cases
elsewhere, with gratifying resuita. In the
North Platte country the land was never
withdrawn from entry, and the result
ha been. o the director sta'es. that
those settling on lands not cow irrigateJ
are suffering from arid or semi-arid con-
" " " J

the settlers could construct, under f roper
directions, their own laterals and reole
credit for this work in proing vp on
their lands. The director stated that this
plan not ten universally adopted
by settlers in the district now suffering
as he had hoped and that it was a source
of greet regret to him.
It was made clear also that in a work
of a fxeat magnitude as this enterprise
plans must necessarily be made which
could not at once be executed, for funds
must be provided. Private capital tried
all the easy schemes for Irrigation, and
when the government took hold cf the
matter it is said it was with a knowledge
that little could be accomplished with
out large expenditure. In western Ne
braska there were storage work and
canals, la.-ge and expensive, to be com
pleted before the laterals could convey
water; yet the plan must be made pub
lic, and settlement followed upon lands
that could not be irrigated for a long
time.
