tles David O. McKay, Orson F. Whit
ney, James E. Talmage. Stephen L.

'i thony W. Ivins and Presiding Bishop
Charles W. Nibley.
ll An interesting feature of the confer-
f ence yesterday were addresses by Wil-
him J. Bryan, the great commoner,
I and Senator Robert L. Owen, who are
visitors In the capital city. They
spoke briefly at tho request of Presl-
I dent Grant. ,
I Apostle McKay discussed the re-
I tponslbllity resting upon the Lattcr-
day Saints In that they wero the peo-
I .pie chosen of God to enlighten tho
I world in the principles of the true
n gospel. After calling attention to the
perplexing condition In which tn
I churches of Christendom find thom-
selves today, Apostlo McKay declared
that in the light of ninety years of
history tho Latter-day Saints church
offered tho proper solution fqr all of
the -vexing problems now confronting
I humanity.
I Takes Up Amusements.
I In discussion of tho subject of
I uinusemonts, Apostle McKay said the
I tendency had been to prohibit amuse-
I mcnls that had hurtful rather than to
I encourage those- that are healthful
and wholesome AmiYscmonts are
necessary, ho said, and If those which
uplift and do not introduce harmful
pastimes aro resorted to.
Apostle Whitney gave an oratorical
discourse on tho results accomplished
through the vision of the Prophet Jo
seph Smith, lie told of tho various
modes of worship, both in early and
modern days. II o qualified the mean
i lug of an idolator as a man who. when
ho acquired wealth, adored the gift,
but forgot God. tho giver. He declared
the people wero living in tho Saturday
night of the world's history, and said
much work of rejuvenation and
house-cleaning had to be done before
God's day of sanctificatlon arrives.
Bishop Nibley outlined what the work
of Joseph Smith had accomplished,
which, ho said, spoke for Itself. He
said the Lattor-day Saints should be
judged by their fruits, and outlined
tho social, temporal and spiritual lifo
as worthy of challcnge. The speaker
also showed how loyalty taught from
childhood by the church, and the gos
pel, he said, was founded upon the
laws of. the land, and not in opposition
to them.
Marriage Relationship.
Apostle Rlonards, in his remarks j
on "The Gospel Is the Power of God
Unto Salvation," told of the marriage
relationship and the relation of chll-1
dren of parents existing in the L. D. 't
S. church, lie said good homes meant
good communities, and good com
munities could not out help mean a i
good country and people. j
After commonting upon the large i
congregation in attendance. Apostle I
Talinage said the church of Christ, J
while It would assist other churches
in patriotic and charitable enterprises,'
c.ould not otherwise affiliate with
! them. He said no critic, press oi
magazizne has as yet accused tho L.
I D. S. church of being an organisation
I or outgrowth of any other church,
j Apostle Smith gave a spiritual dis
course, outlining that Joseph Smith
!wa3 the prophet spoken of In tho
scriptures to come to the earth to pre-J
pare the way for the second coming j
of Christ. - j
Apostle Ivins dealt with the same
theme, relating historical events of
i trials of Christianity in former and
latter tlavs.
I WATER ALLOTMENT TO BE TAKEN
UP FOR FARMERS EY COMMITTEE; I
HEARING COMES UP ON APRIL 26'
I A method by which the tlmo of five
thousand property owners included In
the proposed Weber county irrigation
district may be conserved during l he
busy spring season, by means of com
mittee representation at the water al
lotment hearing of tho county commis
sioners on April 25. was outlined to
day by County Agent W. Preston
Thomas and W. W. McLaughlin, a fed
eral engineer, from the office of Dr.
Samuel Fortier. at Berkeley.
Preparing Statements
I The irrigation committee of the We-,
ber county farm bureau is having pre-j
pared this week a statement for each
landowner of his water allotment in
the proposed irrigation J district as
made by Hie state engineer. These
statements arc upon cards arranged to
show the name of the land owner, the
aoreage, its location, the water allot
ment per acre, the total water allot
1 inent in acre feet the acre feet now
used upon the land, or tho old right
and the aero feet to be supplied by
the district or the new right. There
aro left on the opposite side of tho
card, blank spaces in which the landj
owner may write down any objection j
to or changes in the water allotment I
he may wish to lay before the county j
board "of review on April 2G.
The local farm bureau or a special
committee will afterwards meet with
the land owners to assist them in fully
understanding their allotment or in
preparing their request for such
changes as may be desired. The cards
will then be given hack to the local
committee.
Make Readjustments.
It has been found that In a very
large number of instances, the land
owners do not want to tako tho time
to meet with the county commissioners
and present in person their claims for
readjustment. At the time of the hear
ing, most farmers will be busy with
i spring work and will not want lo leave
this work it It can be avoided. As a
further consideration, if each land
f owner that may desire somo readjust
i nient in his water allotment has to
present himself before the county com
9 missioners, the hearing will require
ij several weeks as only a few can be
disposed of each day. For these rea
(sons, as well as others, it is hoped by
! those in charge that a committee from
'each precinct or local farm bureau
may appear before the corumission
lers and present the petitions of all or
! nearly all land owners in their locality.
Such an arrangement would save an
: immense amount or time to all con
'cerned. it was added, as a committee
! could probably dispose of all tho pe
titions in its district in a day or less.
.There are more than five thousand
land owners and most of these can be
ivpi esuiiiuu us v,eu ur ueuur uy imyi
or less, a few of whom arc selected
from each district.
Take Up Question.
The original plan was to haveThe
with the land owners of each precinct
to discuss with them the water allot
ments. This plan, however, was soon
found to be not feasible as none knew
their individual allotments. It is now
proposed that Mr. McLaughlin meet
with as many of the local committees
as possible and discuss with them the
whale question. They, in turn, can
meet with the properly owners in their
district to assist in any way possible.
The engineer will also visit as many
districts a3 possible before April 26.
Addressing these five thousand
properly owners, Mr. McLaughlin
says' "Let it be said In conclusion
that water allotment is the basis upon
which you will be assessed, and as it
is placed upon the books after the
hearing by the county commissioners
so it will remain until after the distnci
election. It Is therefore, of tho utmost
importance that each landowner meet
with hla local committee and leave his
card properly filled out that the com
mittee, in turn, may assist the com
missioners In' giving to each land owner-
in the district his Just rights. Ob
tain and fill out your card!"

C. C. Richards Made
Democrat Chairman
Reports from Salt La,ke yesterday
point to an Interesting episode In the
affairs of the state Democratic com
mittee. It would appear that what
some call, an "improperly convened
meeting" was hold yesterday at which,
on the motion of Slate Senator Cul
bert L. Olsen tho election of a new
chairman was proceeded with, and C.
C. Richards, former Ogden man, now
holds the post In succession to AV. R.
Wallace. Mrs. Richards, on being
asked about the matter said that he
h.-id been elected to the office and
"that is all there is to it."
Other members, however, say there
Is enough more to it to warrant an
other meeting for the reconsideration
of the matter as the election of a new
chairman nowhere figured in the
1 "call" to the meeting.
