4 SACRAMENTO IS READY TO WELCOME VISITORS Twenty-five Thousand Ex pected to , Attend Irri gation Congress 1 CAN CARE FOR ALL Notables From Many For eign Lands Will Journey to State Capital Special by Leased Wire to The Call SACRAMENTO. Aug. 21.— How a city of 50,000 inhabitants Is going to care for a crowd of 25.000 people Is one of the most perplexing problems with which the board of control of the com ing national irrigation congress has to deal, but the question it has raised 5s one which is being rapidly answered by the people of Sacramento. That the city's population will be increased by half during the first two weeks of Sep tember seems appaient. The entertr.ln ment of this immense crowd is the largest thing Sacramento has ever at tempted, and for a' time It' appeared that the city had bitten off," more than It could chew. But the work of se curing quarters for delegates to the congress and other visitors who will Hock to the city has beenisystematlzed; the residents are throwing open their homes; secret and civic organizations are lending their aid — and there will be room for aIL There will be at least four other con ventions in Sacramanto during the first week in September, but provisions have been made for the comfort of all dele gates. In one Instance a novel method of entertainment has been undertaken. The delegates to the state encampment of the Spanish war veterans will camp In true army style in tents which are to be pitched in, Capitol park. Other ingenious arrangements have been per fected which guarantee room and conr venlences for as many people as the trains will bring In. Several Important announcements were made at the headquarters of the board of control today, among them the fact that United States Senator Charles Dick of Ohio has signified his intention of attending the congress if conditions will permit. This morning a contract was let for the construction of a building near the Southern Pacific depot to be used as an information bureau. The building will be 40x30 feet in size, will be fitted up with lounging rooms and many other conveniences and will be at all hours in charge of a corps of ofilcials and clerks who will look after the comforts of all delegates. Inquiries regarding quarters, re quests for space in the interstate ex position and assurances of support from many parts of the country are pouring In every day. The financial end of the management reports con tinued success. Tlj-j counties cf Solano, Glenn, Araador, Sutter, San Luis Obispo and Tuolumne, through their boards of supervisors, on laßt Monday made ap propriations to the congress and many other counties will take like action during the week. V. • From a number of American consu lates In foreign countries — notably Germany — come reports that great In terest is being taken in the congress and that many delegates from abroad are expected to attend. The republic of Mexico today announced the appoint ment of three representatives. Statements are. being received daily from various railroads to the effect that low rates are being offered for trips to Sacramento during the con gress. In most instances a rate of one fare for the round trip Is offered, with liberal time and stopover privileges. FARMERS REFUSE AID TO REPAIR LEVEE BREAKS Calaveras River Ranches in Danger of More Floods Special by Leased Wire to The Call STOCKTON'. Aug. 21.— Farmers in the vicinity of the broken levees on the Calaveras river who suffered great loss from the floods last March practi cally have refused .to share a, portion of the expense for repairing the sev eral breaks. Members of the city coun cil made a visit yesterday to the scene of the breaks and after a thorough In vestigation of conditions it was de cided to co-operate with the board of supervisors and stand half of the ex pense of repairing the breaks, which will amount to $17,000." The Calavcras river is in a deplor able condition, and even with the levees repaired there is a possibility of more devastating floods. A mile or two upstream from Bellota, the point of the largest breaks, the situation for the farmer and the county Is a serious one. It looks as if a farmer might get up any morning after a heavy rain and find half of his ranch washed away. • . There is a point in the rfver where a dam had been thrown across It. The north wing of the dam today is In the middle of the channel bed, being, at least 300 feet from the north bank. It did not float 'out into the center of the Etream. It is right where it -was originally constructed. The rushing waters of one season worked in and around the dam and. the banks of the slough kept falling Into the stream. By this undermining pro cess SOO feet or more of one man's farm > were washed toward Stockton ami the San Joaquin.

The support given him by the stock company is excellent and the play is staged in elaborate manner. O'Sullivan's singing is one of the features of the production, and he. is heard to advantage in a number of de lightful Irish ballads. - "Arrah-Na-Pogue" will be followed by the musical Irish drama "Peggy Machree." This piece was written es pecially for Mr. O'Sullivan by Patrick Bidwell, and has been produced suc cessfully in England, Ireland and Scot land as well as in this country. "The Man of the Hour" is a great drawing card at the Van Ness theater. Seats for, the second and last week : are already in big demand, and the' seating capacity of the theater is likely -to 'be tested at every " performance, for. the people have found the drama of- special interest. There are many moments of intense interest, and the comedy 'is at all times clever. "The Man .of the Hour" finds favor with theater goers for many reasons, not the least being its timely story dealing with the 'graft question. Ruby.
