IRRIGATION CONGRESS Eleventh Annual Heeling at Ogden This Year. SEPTEIBEI 1.) W 18 IM'LISHE A Convention of Vital Importance To the Whole of the Pacific Coast. The Eleventh National Irrigation Congress will be held at Ogden, Utah, September 15th to ISth, inclusive, 1903:— A convention of vital concern to the American nation: to those who would make two blades of grass grow where one grew before; to all who realize that water is the Midas touch which turns the desert sands to gold; a con vention of specific significance to the states and territories whose arid lands are to be reclaimed by the fed era] government under the provisions of the National Irrigation act, namely, Arizona. California, Colorado. Idaho. Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dako.a. Nevada, New Mexico. Okla homa, Oregon. South Dakota, Utah. Washington and Wyoming. Government and leading irrigation experts, practical farmers, irrigation ists, fruii growers, representatives from state agricultural institutions, state engineers. government and need foresters, as well as rep resentatives, business men. officials and lawmakers, wil] be in attendance and participate in the discussion. The program wil] include: Practi cal Irrigation and Forestry Lessons. Reports of Experts, Application of Provisions of the Reclamation Act, State Progress under the National Act. Views of Settlement of Legal Complications, and the Pertinent and Important Theme of Colonization. Utah being the pioneer state in ir rigation science proffers special op portunities for the study of its his tory and progress. Railroad and oth er excursions covering this field will be arranged for delegates by the lo cal committee. For the first time in the history of the irrigation congresses, the elev enth convention has been liberally fostered by state appropriation— which sum has been doubled by pri vate subscription from officers of the congress and the citizens of Ogden and Utah—so that a large fund guar antees the successful conduct of the progam and hospitable entertainment of all visiting delegates. In the far eastern and southern states of the humid region irrigation methods are being studied and put into practice to save crops in seasons of drought and to increase the value of natural resources. Flood sufferers in southern states should confer at this congress with those requiring reservoirs at the head waters of the great rivers. It may be said, there fore, that the east and south can here learn from the west and delegates should attend this congress, not alone from the sixteen specially interested far western states, but from every state in the union. President Roosevelt, throughout his recent western tour, frequently gave utterance to his belief that national aid for the reclamation of the arid west is of paramount iimportance in our national policy; and to foster this policy is the work of this congress— "To Save the Forests and Store the Floods." The program for the congress will be carefully arranged with the view of achieving practical benefits and progress. Specially favorable rail road fates have been secured, details of which will soon be published. Ar rangements the entertainment of delegates in the attractive city of Ogden will he complete and satisfac tory, and reception committees will meet all trains. The citizens of Og den have appointed a board of con trol to entertain all delegates in co operation with officers of the con gress. There will be no advance in hotel rates. Governors of the states and mayors of cities and officers of organizations entitled to appoint delegates are re spectfully requested to select men sin cerely interested in the work of—and likely to attend—the congress. The basis of representation in the congress will be: The governor of e ach state and ter ritory to appoint 20 delegates. The mayor of each city of less than 25.000 population. 2 delegates. The mayor of each city of more than 25,000 population. 4 delegates. Each board of county commissioners, 2 delegates. Each chamber of commerce, board of trade, commercial club, or real es tate exchange. 2 delegates. Each organized irrigation, agricul tural or live stock association, 2 dele gates. Each irrigation company, emigra tion society or agricultural college, and each college or university having chairs of hydraulic engineering or for estry. 2 delegates. The following are delegates by vir tue of their respective offices: The president and members of his cabinet, the duly accredited repre sentative of any foreign nation or col ony, the governor of any state or ter ritory, any member of the United States senate or house of representa tives, members of any state or terri torial commission. COWS IN THE HOSPITAL. Pullman, Aug. 28.—A numler of milch cows are being brought from Spokane to the veterinary hospital at the Washington Agricultural col lege for treatmen for tuberculosis. The cows were discovered by Dr. S. B. Nelson, professor of veterinary science at the college, and the state veterinary surgeon, who rounded up a number of animals in Spokane. They are owned by various private individuals in Spokane, and none of them are owned by a dairy. Dr. Nelson has been treating them at Spokane, and has had them under quarantine for some time. He has decided to bring them here and treat them at the hospital, where his corps of assistants and the students in the veterinary department will be able to study the diisease. It is thought the cow.-; wil] be of great value to the de partment for experimental purposes. As physicians contend that much of the tuberculosis among human beings is the result of using milk from cows suffering with this disease great interest is being taken by the state vetinary department in watching for cows suffering with the disease, and all are promptly con demned when found to be afflicted with tuberculosis.

Some little busi ness is developing, but. as heretofore, is principally to cover 'immediate wants among the larger mills and to supply the smaller plants, which are providing for requirements to a more distant date. This demand, while not large, is sufficient to cover such wheat as is offering, because growers have become thoroughly im bued with the idea that prices ar< going to a higher level and are selling only to cover current expenses. As farmers are in a strong financial po sition they are not forced to dispose of their wheat business at this time, and therefore such business as is done continues to be upon an artific ial plane of values. So long as the present milling demand maintains and the farmers pursue the policy of holding wheat it will be possible to support these figures, but that they must react sharply later is the opin ion of large buyers and exporters. There appears very little to sup port the belief that holders will profit from their present policy, beyond the fact that last season was one of the exceptions when the man who held his grain made money thereby. But last year peculiar conditions were ex tant which are not likely to be repeat ed this season, when the market is ruling 20c higher. The Pacific coast was then shaken loose from the usual governinig factor exercised by Liver pool, through the fact of an Austral ian crop faihire and the increased call from other markets aside from Eu rope. Now ihe Australian market is not only depressed, but it is reported .hat heavy losses have been incurred on wheat imported for speculative purposes, the proposition of re-ship ping one or two cargoes to San Fran cisco being considered. Exporters feel that they are not justified in do ing anything except in a local way un ler the circumstances, and are buy ing only to job out to the mills. Some vessels are arriving on tho the Sound, but it is mostly free tonnage and tnere are no spot ships under engage ment whose lay days will commence prior to November. This is also an unusual condition and places shippers in a position of equal independence with growers. Charter rates are nom inal at lis 6d to 20s, with no engage ments. Harvesting is web along in most sections. In the Palouse country the grain is being rapidly cut, but very little has been threshed, and three or four weeks good weather will be required to secure wheat in good con dition, while much the same condi tions prevail in the Big Bend. ' Receipts for the week were 78 cars or 76.440 bushels. Prices quoted for wheat by local exporters are 80c for club and S3c for bluestem. Flour —Demands hold up satisfac torily for the present, though the high prices demanded for wheat and pres ent scarcity have proven something of a drawback. Values are still held firm at the advance. Exports for the week were nil. WILL BE 5.000.000 SHORT. Tacoma. Aug. 28.—State Grain In spector Arrasmith returned this af ternoon from a visit of six weeks to Eastern Washington. He now esti mates the coming grain crop at 21.- --000,000 bushels of wheat, as against 26.000.n00 bushels raised last year. Two-thirds of the wheat is now har vested, but while t l resiling is in progress in every district, only about cne-'hird of the grain is in sacks or granaries. "I am inclined to believe that the whea. growers of the state will get in a little more money for their wheat this year than they did last." said he this afternoon, "notwithstanding the fact that 5,000,000 more bushels w ' p re raised last year than this season. Farmers were selling last year at har ves. time for fifty cents a bushel. This year they are selling for 08 and 70 cents a bushel and this is an enor mous increase over beginning prices. It looks as though the prices this year would go still higher." HOW'S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any ease of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.
