4 Irrigation Congress Gives Fairbanks Glad Welcome Coßtlaned from Page 1, Column S. ulated Sacramento on having Mayor Beard and congratulated both Califor nia and Governor Gillett, describing- the latter as one of the \u2666'great governors of the country." -- CHEERS FOR FAIRBANKS The irrigationiets may. or may r not have' known or thought of him as the father of their cause, but in any event they gave Fairbanks a rousing greet ing. The enthusiasm was begun when the tall figure of the vice president waa seen to enter the hall, dwarfing the ro bust governor of California, who was escorting him, and it grew in volume as the Indiana, statesman came bowing up the aisle. Not until Fairbanks was engulXed in the levee that four gov ernors were holding just below the platform did the handclapplng and the stirring strains of the band die out. -Again, when the vice president as cended to the stage there was an en thusiastic demonstration for him. and his address was highly responsive to ttie cordial reception given him. rl. -\ "Fairbanks is one. of the most com panionable men in all "Washington." eaid j Governor Gillett, who spent two terra's in Congress there, and the vice president's first appearance in Califor nia today certainly removed the im pression that had come west as to his Jcy- demeanor. The proceedings of the afternoon were mostly of the gladsome order, for r.o less than four addresses of welcome 'were made, with about an equal num ber of responses. Only one speaker de parted to any extent from the happy phrases of greeting, and that was Gov ernor George E. Chamberlain of Ore gon, the presiding officer of the con gress, who had something to say of great significance to California and San Francisco. PRAISE* HE\ET AXD BURXS 'Chamberlain comes from the state where Frances J. Heney and W. J. Burns began their work against the land thieves and met with the same hostility they are encountering in San Francisco when they began sending "big" men to prison for crime. But \u25a0how, since time has given opportunity \u25a0for calm reflection, comes the appeal from Oregon, as set forth by the gov >rnjor, of that etate, that there had not been enough of sending wealthy crim inals to jail. \u25a0Heney and Burns \u25a0were assailed In the north-em state, they are being assailed from certain quarters in San Francisco, •but today came what mlsnt be re g-arded as a splendid vindication for them when Governor Chamberlain .-.spoke of the crying need of "driving Ecoundrelism out of power" and caused a storm of applause from his 4,009 hearers. The governor gave his heart iest Indorsement to the prosecutions of the land pirates, as he termed them, and his only demand was that the gov ernment should see to It that all fraud ulent entries on government lands EhouM be canceled. He also expressed himself as strongly in accord with the forestry policy of President Roosevelt, although he formerly had opposed It. Following the vice president's ad dress Gifftord. Pinchot read a message from. President Roosevelt, of whom the heed of the forestry service is the per £.onal representative at the irrigation congress. DELEGATES GREET ROOSEVELT The words from Roosevelt evoked warm epplause and Secretary C H. An derson was instructed to send a tele gram of greeting to him in behalf of the congress. In his explanatory ; re marks Pinchot said that the west owed more to the president than any one else for the great interest that the gov ernment was taking In upbuilding the 'west. United States Senator George C. Per kins was the third Californlan speaker to 'voice welcome to the guests of the Etate. the congressional delegation be ing the body that he represented. When "he had- concluded President Chamber lain declared that the senators ability to say pretty, complimentary things ex plained the Californian's fame among the ladies of the land. The senator's speech, which took the honors In wel coming arid delighting the g-uests. was •also full of historical reminiscence \u25a0about early agriculture and irrigation : Jn California. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of 'the stete university, failed to put in an app«=» ranee and the address of Arthur •-R. Drip-srs, president of the California Etate board of trade, became the fourth we!coiT:e speech Instead of the fifth. ' •Bripgs aroused applause frequently • when he crave statistics on California's greatnc-ES. He said that by the time "•the' next census was taken the etate would Jiave 3 00.000 farms. Governor Albert E. Mead of \u25a0" Wash- In g-ton responded in behalf of his state to the welcomes that had been spoken. .Washington, he said, stood ready to co-operate with the other states of the' TOt to carry out the great plans tlial had been made for home building. -. UTAH'S GOVERNOR SPEAKS Governor J. S. Cutler of Utah de clared that his stale was the father of irrigation in the west, for 30 years ago ihn p'os^er settlers of Utah had led the .water down from the mountains to the /viry valleys ami made*the desert lvastes b!oom.lBB&3£ ' «--> ;, -"-;*-'/V/- ; "" ' , "Ea.-h farm established is the sanc tuary of an American family." he said, "and the expansion policy of President Hoosevelt In opening new territory to tlir- home builder leads toward the jrreatest acWevenjcnt fn modern states jaanshfp."' By way of gratitude for the warm welcome that had been extended the governor invited the congress to come: to Salt Lako City at an early day. One of the most interesting ad drffses of the afternoon- was that ; of Owjliuii Ksns. Chinese vice vonful.at San Francisco and spokesman for Consul Genertai Sun Szo Tee. who also occupied a s«-at on thg stag?, iut whose use of tb* T^n^.iKh lansruage is limited.

Senor Andros Aldasora, sub secretary of the Mexican legation at Washington, spoke % in Spanish the greetings f rom_President Diaz. After President . Chamoerlatn had announced the meeting places of the various state delegations, at which they were to choose their representatives at the va rious committees that are to be named tomorrow, the congress adjourned to 9:30 in the morning.- Great Enthusiasm Is Shown at Opening of the Congress Choir of Two Hundred Voices Readers the "Irrigation Ode" SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2.— Marked by a large attendance and much enthu siasm, the fifteenth national Irrigation congress opened here this ' afternoon under most auspicious circumstances.

The reclamation act, passej in 1902. provided, as you are aware, that the Irri gation - improvements contemplated should be confined to 13 states and S territories: and It was ( provided that the millions of dollar* re quired . for the purpose should be derived from the proceeds from the sale of public lands la the respective states, which belong to all the people.. Presldeat Roosevelt promptly ap proved the act and since that time, under the able organization of the geological survey, hun dreds of thousands of acres of desert land are being brought under ; cultivation, aad what was once arid waste is now the abode of prosperity and happiness. The meeting of this great irrigation congress in the capital city of our state Is full of «!r niflcance and promise to our people. Sacnmenta Is situated geographically la the center of the great Sacramento and San Joaqula valleys, comprising fully 10,000.000 acres of the rich est and most arable land in the work!,- all of which can . be brought under lrrrls«thm. la these . great - valleys 60 , years ago there -was but one solitary. bearing orange tree. This was prown' at- Bidwells bar, a mining camp In But te county, and was the wonder of : all who saw It. giving Its owner more " than local celebrity. That single orange tree was a bright omen for . the \u25a0 fntnre. During the pres ent year California has shipped^ out -of the state 25.000 carloads of oranges, -containing 10.620,000 boxes, ; valued at J30.500.000. \u25a0 The strongest ally of Irrigation Is the forest; without onr forests . there would be uo Irriga tion.
