State from Irrigation Kn-
teryrlnes.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Sept. 2. The national
irrigation congress opened promptly at 10
o'clock this morulnc with an Increased at
tendance , a number of additional delegates
from Colorado , Montana , Wyomlnc and
Kansas having arrived. Before proceeding
with the regular program roll call of states
before adjournment was ordered to name
members of national committee , and the
matter of selecting a place for the next
annual meeting was raaOo a special order
for 4 o'clock today.
The report of Colonel 11. II , Mnxson ,
member of the committee appointed by the
Lincoln congress to go to Washington , was
the first regular order. Colonel Maxson's
report was Important , In that the committee
had succeeded In framing a bill which
secured the united support of the bouse
committco on arid lands. This bill pro
vides that states taking advantage of the
Carey law shall have ten years from the
date of final segregation to reclaim. The
Btato may ilia through a local land ofllcc
for temporary segregation for a period ot
four months. Kalluro to file maps and
plans within this period works a forfeiture
to the effort. Upon flnal segregation the
desert character of the land will bo held
to bo finally settled. Doth Congressmen
Shafroth and Jenkins waived the right to
push their individual bills In support of the
committee bill , but since the war with
Spain the whole matter has lain in abey
ance.
The report was applauded and the committee
mittee- received the thanks of the congress.
The report caused aomo discussion , which
was not completed , but will bo taken up
later.
Vnltio of Irrigation.
E. S. Nettleton of Colorado read a very
interesting statistical paper upon the subject
of "Tho Success and Failures In Canal Build
ing and the Causes Thorof. "
President Carey introduced Mr. Nettleton
by saying ho was the most highly esteemed
among the pioneers of Irrigation because of
the great work ho had done during many
years. Colonel Nettleton divided irrigation
enterprises Into three heads , "Corporation ,
co-operation and colony , " and exhaustively
described tbo methods and motive of each.
In support of his statement that Irrigation
works wcro not failures he told of actual
conditions In Colorado. Largo enterprises
undertaken during the past twenty-live years
had returned no revenue to the investor ! ) ,
but benenclent results were nevertheless
evident. In 1C9S Colorado had 1,500,000 acres
Irrigated of a value of 122,000.000. The value
of the land of Colorado before Its irrigation
enterprises were begun , estimated at the
double medium rate , was JI7.000.000 ; their
present value under irrigation la $87,000,000 ,
an increase of 512 per cent. The net in
crease of wealth to the state was Jt5.000.000.
The afternoon session of the congress was
opened by Senator Warren with a talk on
what congress Is doing In aid of Irrigation.
Senator Warren confessed In the start that
discussion of what congress 'had not done In
aid ot Irrigation offered a much \\liler Held
than that confined to what had been done.
However , there wan a hopeful side shown

several police officers who sat In chairs In

was the boarding house of Mrs. Donahue at

room nnd found a negro crouched ut the
foot of the bed with a club In his liani

catch him he struck tit them with the club
and Jumped through a window. On the out

The man in the window dropped to the
ground , joined his companion and the two
run Into the alley In the rear of the build

attention of the police , who rushed to the
corner , but too late to bo ot any assistance.

"Wo ull had diarrhoea In more or less vl

cerely believe that at ono critical time thli
medicine was the Indirect saviour of our
army , for If the packers had been unable to
work there would huvr been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There wcro no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
