IS.- That thorn will lie a deiormii ed light against any action by the National Irrigation ron- gross favoring a repeal or modification of the existing land laws was made evident. The coiiiinUtco on resolu tions , after practically an all day ses sion , found itself hopelessly divided on two of the questions before It , the desert land act and the commuta tion clause of the homestead act , and majority and minority re ports will be presented on the action recommended by the committee. The vote on tlii'-o two questions was twelve for and nine against. The sentiment In favor of the repeal of tlio timber and stone act , under which the opinion was expressed that great frauds were being perpetrated against the government , was almost unank mous. Nevertheless on this , as well as on other recommendations , a sharp fight will be waged , with the outcome In doubt. The light for the honor of enter taining the National Irrigation con gress in 10D4 has been quite bitter. The situation seems to bo 131 Paso against the field , with- the Hold of un known strength. The committee on nominations will recommend the election of the follow ing officers for the ensuing year : President , W. A Clark of Montana ; first vice president , U W. Shurtllff of Utah ; . second vice president , W. G. Johnston of Denver ; third vlco presi dent , John Hall of Texas ; secretary. H. B. Maxson of Reno , Nov.
