Seven yearn hnvo elapsed since the j was foreseen. There have been laid
passage of the reclamation act. tin-1 out systems which involve the Hin-
der its operation Irrigation works I ittftte reclamation of several million
have been bulk In the 13 western | acres. Large works, whoso niagut-
states and two territories by which j tilde Is such that they have been puss-
waters are conserved and distributed : ed over by private anil corporate ere
and nearly 7iH),00b acres have already terprlse, have been built. In all, It
been brought under irrigation, with ! may lie stated that In round numbers
returns to the fund amounting to over
ii million dollars. The success obi sin
ed may lie raid to Justify the hopes of
the most enthusiastic of Hie early ad-
vocates of the reclamation act.
Develops Citizenship.
“The nation Is concerned in this
work, not only because of the result-
ing internal development, hut also be-
cause of the Improvement In citizen-
ship ami in stability of American In
solutions.''
Mr. Newell said that while the gov-
ernment has done much in Irrigation
work, private capital has also made
great advances and possibly at pres
out five or ten times as large an in-
vestment in the aggregate is being
made by corporations In building Irri-
gation works as is being Invested by
the government.
"Much of this Investment, howev-
er, lias been made possible, or, at
least has been stimulated by the gov-
ernment work," said ho. “The fnet
that the national government has
deemed it. wise to take up the mat U r
has been one of the strongest, argu-
ments appealing to capitalists to ilo
likewise.
Capital Not Tabooed.
"There Is no cam)>ctltton as between
national and private funds, but rather
an attempt at all times on the pari of
the government to stimulate logltl-
■ mate enterprise through Obtaining
facts upon which Investments might
he safely made and to avoid taking up
stieh work as could be handled suc-
cessfully by others.
"The reclamation fund has boon lar-
ger than was expected, upwards of
flit),000,000 being available to Decent-
there were ready for Irrigation at the
beginning of the Irrigation season ot
the present year over 5,000 farms,
with an aggregate acreage of 700,000
acres.
Storage of Fleod Waters.
"Storage of Hood waters hud been
(•rented and in actual use to the ex-
tent of n million acre-feet. Canals
and ditches were ready for use of an
aggregate length of more than 3,000
miles, a distance equal to that across
the United States, Fifty-eight tunnels
had been built of a length of 85,000
feet. Many thousands of smaller
structures, such as liendgatca, flumes,
bridges, turnouts, etc., were complet-
ed, a lliouHitnd miles of telephone In
operation, and yardages of earth roov
eil comparable to that handled In ilu-
same lime at Panama.
Opportunities for Homes.
"More than all this showing of ma-
terial progress are the excellent re-
sults accomplished In carrying out the
purpose of the act, namely, the mak-
ing of opportunities for homes. The
wise provision of the law restricting
acreage has been enforced and there
Ih a well marked beneficial result In
the subdivision of large areas of irri-
gable land and the placing of this In
the hands of men competent success-
fully to cultivate the soil and make
permanent homes. The speculative
element has been largely absent.
Fund Is Exhausted.
"The works now In hand will re-
quire al of the reclamation fund for
several years,! Each large work.is
completed to a point where It has
made possible hundreds of homes
and where returns ate coming to the

I fund, but It bas numerous
! tksts, or divisions, each of which re-
j qaires considerable more money for
I completion. There Is no lack of work
i when these are finished.
"The opportunities for further con-
servation of the waste waters are al-
i most unlimited, especially In localities
i where attempts have been tirade on a
| Hfimll scale and complications of such
| nature have arisen, especially those
i rrf vested rights, that successful action
lean tre taken only by following np the
j matter with Infinite tact and patience,
| coupled with the resources of the re-
clamation fund.
Criticism Answered.
"Of course, there is always another
side to every large problem. It Is not
conceivable that the reclamation act
could be wholly perfect or that Its ad-
ministration could be without flaw.
The very Irenefits brought about by
the act have been a source of criti-
cism. The requirement of residence
on the land, or In the nelghliorhood,
Is freely criticised as Involving unnec-
essary hardship, and yet this la one
of the requirements which the mapor-
Ity of congress considered as being an
essential condition for the advance-
ment of federal funds.
“The slowness of the work Is also
criticised and It has come to be a mat-
ter of general remark that the govern-
ment Is always slow. This, like many
truisms. Is a statement which dorrs
j not stand close analysis. There are
very fqw corporations which have ac-
complished with the funds available
as much as has been carried on by
the reclamation service.
Government's Hard Wffrk.
"The successful handling of the re-
clamation fund probably requires as
much, If not more, skill and patience
than in any Industrial enterprise. On
the one hand are the settlers clamor-
ing for Immediate results; on the oth-
er band are engineering problems and
complications of vested rights to wa-
ter and difficult rights of way, with
defective land titles, all of which
must tie patiently worked out under
very exacting regulations. The fed-
eral employe Is regarded by all as a
proper target. When Joined with this
Is the fact that the man in control of
thq ditch Is ns a matter of course re-
garded by everyone as responsible for
every evil In the community, you have
a combination which requires almost
unlimited skill, tact and self-control.
A Word to Critics.
"The reclamation act Is not a per-
fect document, but, like most acts of
congress. Is the result of compromise
of many conflicting Ideas. Wherever
It may be defective, these defects can
only be remedied In one way, namely,
by congress, and not by any official.
II Ih worse than useless, therefore, to
attempt lo remedy these defects, if
they exist, through criticism of the
methods adopted by the officials In
direct charge. Any needed Improve-
ments should tic brought to the atten
lion of the law-making body and par-
ticularly lo the committees on irriga-
tion of the senate and house, each of
which Is socking for suggestions and
intelligent advice from practical men."
Washington Man Speaks.
Joseph M. Carey of Washington
proposed a system of state laws for
the various states contemplating the
protection of the Individual farmer,
lie was opposed In some quarters by
delegates who believed irrigation lawa
might be proper for come of ;Uie
newer slates but that the older com-
monwealths would be able to care for
themselves.
The congress opened with the “Irri-
gation ode," sung by the Spokane
chorus of 250 voices. The address of
welcome to the stnte was delivered
by Governor M. E. Hay of Washing-
ton.
The response on Imlialf of congress
was made by George F. llarslow,
president of the congress. He said:
Barstow Congratulates Spokane.
“Judging from President.Titfl’smany
utterances on the line of the conser-
vation of our national resources, we
may rest assured that Ibis congress
will ever have his earnest and cor-
dial support. That our sphere of in-
fluence Is rapidly broadening In both
Its national and International aspects
Is evidenced as never before by the
roll of delegates and the presence ot
seventy distinguished representatives
of foreign nations.
Working for Home-builders.
' We Imvo heartily endorsed and.
still give warm adherence to the
great walk of Improving our natural
waterways and reclaiming our vast
area of swamp lands. But all this
Is only the prelude to the noblest of
all our purjtoses and works; to see
that the path of the home-builder Is
made easy. Only as we keep tills no-
blest sentiment In mind can we hope
long to endure,
Praise for Roosevelt.
"lOx-Drcsidetit Roosevelt was doubt-
less more noticed than any of his pre-
decessors for taking the initiative in
many avenues on broud and Wholesale
lines. This was more than true in ev-
erything affecting agricultural classes.
During Ihe last year of his adminis-
tration he appointed the ‘Country Life
Commission.’ May wo not hope that
his example will ls» emulated by his
worthy successor, President Taft?
"The national government already
has passed a law providing for the es-
tablishment of a bureau of Immigra-
tion, to aid the immigrants coming to
our shores lo a proper understanding
as to where they can best locate on
lands for homc-huildtng. But should
not the national government, if not
the state, go a step further?
Favors Colonization Bureau.
"A large percentage of the immi-
grants land on oar shores with Insuf-
ficient money to push out west or
southwest. Shull I he regarded ns
preaching paternalism or socialistic in
my purpose when suggesting that the
duty of the national government may
be found In providing, under proper
safeguard, a fund which may be used
to make loans to enable this frugal
and thrifty class of people to locate
homes under governmoot irrigation
plans?
Prejudice Against Foreigners.
"There Is too rnurh, and unwarrant-
ed, prejudice by the majority of Amer-
icans aneut many of the nationalities
tPHihig to uur shores. There are no
t«b| tfflsr of the people of each na-
tionality that are tut desirable. But Is
this not also true of some of our own
people?
Mr. Haistow advocated the employ-
ment of immigrants in the business
of 1 omv-butldlng as most likely to pro-
mote patriotism. He recommended to
the congress as an important basis of
action the drainage of 80,000.000 acres
of swamp lands in the country, and
also pointed out tlie increasing popu-
larity of Irrigation a
vestment for eaafrrn
a* g field of in-
capltal. %. ’rjf-TvIJ
Figures That Speak.
In this Connection he said:
"In the year 190k there were about
3,000,000 acre* of land In cultivation
in tbe humid region of this country.
The crops from these lands aggre-
gated |8.000,000 In value. When the
00,000,000 acres of arid land are in cul-
tivation their annual crops will safely
reach I'V.S'Kl,000.0*0 In other words
the irrigated lands have a productive
capacity of at least four to one-
Bond Issue Favored.
"I desire to Impress upon the con-
gress the importance of taking prompt
steps to give the federal government
to understand that the people of the
nation demand that the reclamation
fund shall be forthwith supplemented
by the creation and sale from time
to time of gold lamds to the
total sum of fO.OOO.fiOO Id order that
more rapid work may proceeed in re-
claiming the nation's arid lands.
Without question water Is the chief
asset lo our people. To properly safe-
guard the headwaters of all our na-
tional rivers and tributaries; to im-
pound these waters for irrigation and
power development, means a twofold
blessing lo our people by distributing
vast commercial advantages on one
hand, and saving enormous destruc-
tion on the other. This congress is in
ympathy with the great effort for
commercial development of our natu-
ral wutejiways.
New Cabinet Division.
"Such are the Importance of these
stops to the nation that some of the
leading minds in the country have
conceived the idea of a national do
partment of public works with a sec
rotary who shall be a member of the
president's cabinet,
Need Clearly Defined Policy.
“The National Irrigation Congress
has more and more attracted the con-
fidence of the nation. I am strongly
of the opinion that this army of loyal
Americans should hand themselves to-
gether in a more perfect organization
with a clearly defined policy. This
enlarged plan should he based upon
sound financial support, which can
readily he found In permanent and
honorary delegates from Its legion of
friends."
Delegates Hold Back.
It Is understood that a number of
state delegations have declined to
commit themselves In the matter of
endorsing a 'candidate for president.
This Is true in the case of President
llarslow, who, although not an an-
nounced candidate, has not been
urged strongly for a second term be-
cause of the feeling that the honor
should be "passed around.”
Other candidates for the presidency
of the congress developed during the
day In the persons of former Gov-
ernor Good lug of Idaho, former Gov-
ernor Pardee of California and Con
gressman Mondell of Wyoming.
Pardee Heads Resolution.
Former Governor Pardee of Cali-
fornia was appointed temporary chair-
man of the resolutions committee,
but no action will be taken toward
permanent organization of the com-
mittee for the present.
Sentiment for El Paso.
The question of a next meeting
place has narrowed down to a fight
between San Frogclagp and Pueblo,
Colorado, with Denver pledged to aid
the .latter. Illinois probably will throw
her strength to San Francisco and
there seems to be much sentiment for
the California city. Among the
smaller cities favorably mentioned are
El Paso, Texas.
The new iconstButton providing the
business-like basis so much desired
by the congress was adopted without
dissent today. _
Time Is Wasted.
That the time between the con-
vention of the National Irrigation Con-
gress Is practically wasted because
of a lack of huslnesa-Uke plans of
procedure was the declaration of K.
Instnger, chairman of the board of con-
trol. at the opening meeting of the
congress this morning. He said the
possibilities for advancing Irrigation
art' badly crippled by a lack of meth-
od and a lack of cooperation between
the executive /tends and tho board of
control.
This statement Is a forerunner of
a change In the constitution of the
congress, which will give the latitude
desired.
Clash Ie Looked For.
The pending clash between the na-
tional resource policies of the Itoose
volt administration and the so-called
"private enterprise" was forecasted
when Mayor N. 3. Platt of Spokane
charged that private capital was be-
ing used to Impede the work of the
government. This question bids fair
to become the predominant factor of
the present congress. Interest Is cen-
tered on tin' utterances expected from
Gifford Pinchot, who Is expected to
support the Roosevelt policies.

Reception to Delegates.
This evening a reception was ten-
dered by the lioard of control nnd the
ladies of Seattle to officers nnd dele-
gates of the congress, governors of
states, representatives of foreign na
Hons and other guests, at the Masonic
temple. The affair was particularly
brilliant and was epoch-making Iu the
serial history of S|K>kane.
El Paso is not making as strenuous
an effort to laud the next cougress
ns to secure other concessions, but
there Is a feeling among tho delegates
who are supporting the present ser-
vice that El Paso would be a good
place to hold the next cougress on
account of the strength that would
give to the "regulars.”
Fear Colorado Influence.
If Pueblo gets tbe congress It Is
feared the corporations may gain tbe
ascendency. For this reason El Paso
will vote In favor of some other city
than Pueblo and may possibly fail to
vote for her own city with the object
of defeating what It feels will la* a fa-
tal step in naming the Colorado city.
There are Indications, however, that
K1 Paso will gain enough strength
from the "regulars*’ to secure the
convention there.

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT jj
♦**W******»*»*****t*»****H****»»»*«»«BBBB—+>
Couer D’Alene, Aug. 9.—When lit-
tle Helen Hamilton, niece of Mayor
Boyd of Couer D’Alene, walked in tho
middle of 105,000 yellow envelopes
containing applications for land In the
Couer D'Alene Indian reservation
shortly after 10 a. ra. today, the great
land drawing on the three tracts of
government land—the Flathead, Coeur
D’Alene and the Spokane Indian reser-
vations—was on.
Moved Like Clock Work.
8everal hundred people stood around
the platform on which Jndge James
Witten of Washington formally open-
ed the drawing. Unlike the rush In
"squatter" days, the modern method of
distributing the land moved along with
the precision of clock work.
When Miss Hamilton pickled the
first lucky envelope from the mass and
handed It to Judge Witten and the
name of Isadore Sellg of Myrtle Creek,
Oregon, was read aloud, the gather-
ed crowd began to evince increasing
Interest. Miss Hamilton, aided by Miss
Cheystine Donlan and Miss Harriet
Post, plucked the other lucky envel-
ope* from the pile. Men and women,
now anxious to hear the verdicts In
the first twenty envelopes, crowded up
to the platform, where newspapor
men and government clerks grabbed
at the hits of news-hearing names and
started them through the land by
special wires run to the drawing stand.
Little Girls Busy.
For two hoars In the heat of a
midday sun, the three little girls
pranced over the pile of yellow en-
velopes. plucking fortunes for some
from the pile of applications.
Long before the drawing began,
Judge Witten and his corps of officers
and clerks moved from place to
place, putting everything In readiness
for the drawing. National colors, In
the center of which floated a huge
American flag, gave the platform a
martial getting. Twenty cast-iron cans,
tightly sealed, were placed on the
platform shortly before 16 o’clock and
two men started at tho task of prying
them open.
The carriages carrying the sponsors
of the drawing, Misses Hamilton, Post
and Donlon, arrived a few minutes be-
fore 10 o’clock and were hastily gath-
ered around Judge Witten for photo-
graphs for which a dozen newspaper
photographers were waiting.
The Drawing is On.
This preliminary over. Judge Wit-
ten raised his hand and motioned for
silence. In a few words he outlined
tho modern method of drawing for
favorite lands and pronounced it em-
phatically not a land lottery.
After giving any one present a
chanee to come to the platform nnd
pick bis envelope from the many If
Ire could, with a forfeiture to any
successful number after. Judge Witten
motioned to Harvey Ham, son of D.
T. Ham, and George S. Canfield, both
of Spokane, to start tlie work of mix-
ing the 105.000 envelopes wilh the
pitchforks provided for the occasion.
Picks First Name.
From top to bottom, and from side
to side, the mass of envelopes were
stirred, and at the word from Judge
Witten, Miss Hamilton walked to the
center of the platform and picked the
first winner,
Isadore Sellg of Myrtle Creek, Ore-
gon, the winner, was not present at
tho drawing.
The names of John Hedmark and
Charles G. Cromwell, both of Spokane,
then followed in the order named. At
I his juncture, A. H. Ratteree of IJttle
Rock, Ar., a professional "talker,”
was called to tho platform and start-
ed the task of reading and crying
aloud the 3,000 names which will bo
drawn from tlie 105,000 applications.
Jokes With Women.
To keep the crowd, now standing In
the broiling sun of noon, in good hu-
mor, Judge Witten stopped the draw-
ing at intervals long enough to joke
with the women who drew claims and
to tell stories of his past experiences
in the land drawings of government
reservations.
Messengers were dispatched with
the valuable slips to the laud office
up town and there a corps of clerks
and stenographers began the "work of
listing the names on the numerical or-
der nnd posting them outside.
After two hours of hard work 500
names had been drawn from tho lot
of 105,000.
Practically all of the first fifty lucky
applicants are from tho Northwest.
John Hedmark of Spokane drew No.
2, Charles Cornwell of Spokane No.

MRS. SUTTON ACCUSED
OFFICERS^ MURDER
Continued From Page One.
academy, Ostenqan and Adams with-
drew and had a talk.
"Now, at 1 o’clock Sunday nmrn-
ir>Vi,.’' the letter continues, “Jimmie
waa beaten to death. That shot was
fired to hide the crime. IBs forehead
was crushed, nose broken. Ups cut
open, teeth knocked out and an In-
cision in the head half an Inch long.
Refers to Son’s Sufferings.
"Jest think what my poor boy’s
suffering must have been as he was
beaten to death by those wild beasts.
Good God. Mr. Swartz, the work of
wild men and this on their own
■sworn testimony and they are still
walking the streets today, while uy
poor boy lies In the grave stamped b
suicide."
Referring to the automobile ride,
Mrs. Sutton declared thnt if “Jimmie"
had been himself he never would have
asked them (Adams. Utley and Oster-
mo») to ride with him. Adams and
Utley hated him. she declared. Men-
tion is also made of Lieuieuauts
Pori*, Sumner and Shearer.
"On October 1,” she wrote, “Jimmie
borrowed 1211 from the bank. On Oc-
tober 3 he gave Shearer a check for
$130 and I wrote Shearer and asked
him what It was for. He said he had
just cashed It for Jipimie. I did not
believe bim and wrote and told him
what'I thought of such men who would
let a man in a help/ess condition be
taken out and beaten to death.”
On subsequent occasions when she
had written Shearer his replies were
curt, she says.
Hard to Learn Fact*.
On May 4 Mrs. Sutton promised to
send Swartz a copy of the first in-
quest testimony and a copy of what-
ever she had later obtained. She re-
cites her difficulties in obtaining any-
thing definite about “Jimmie’s” death.
‘‘Do you mean to say that if we
prove what we know, these men can-
not be punished simply because they
belong to the navy?” she wrote.
"Those men know why they are so
secret about the affair, but we are not
sleeping and I think the United States
will be compelled to sit up and take
notice of what kind of men run the
navy and shield a pack of low brutes.”
Looks Like Ex-Convicts.
"Adams CJtJey and Osterman’s faces
will be enough to convict them. You
will see that Jitnmle Is the smallest
In this class, and yet it took three big
men to do him to death. Shearer
looks like an ex-cqnvict."
On the cross-examination Mr. Bir-
ney Insisted that Mrs. Sutton explain
why she had made these derogatory
comments. She retorted that she
could express an opinion about Potts’
face without Intending to mean that
every one criticized was implicated in
her son’s death.
Still Holds to Belief.
She further liststcd that the con-
tents of her letters to Swartz had
been arrived at through reading the
testimony and a sense of deduction
and that she still held to her original
belief.
“The love Itetween ‘Jimmie’ and my-
self,” continued the letter to Swartz,
"was the greatest that eonld exist be-
tween two persons. If Jimmie met
with an accident. I felt It at once.
Well, the night those beasts were lay-
ing their plans for Jimmie an awlul
fear came over me and my two daugh-
ters, bo we could not talk and each
kept away from the other for fear of
betraying our feelings. Next day Mr.
Sutton came in and asked If I could
btand some awful news. He told mo
that Jimmie was reported to have
killed himself. '
Says Son Spoke to Her.
“Oh, God, Mr. Swartz,” the writer
exclaimed, "if Jimmie had not spoken
to me I would have died. Then Jim-
mie eatne to me and said: ‘Mother,
dear, don’t you believe it; I never
killed myself. Adams killed me; they
beat me to death and then Adams
shot mo to hide the crime.’
“He told me iiow they laid a trap
for him, how he walked into it; how
how Utley grabbed him to pull him
out of the auto; how they held him
and Oaterman beat him; about Ills
forehead being broken, his teeth
knocked out and the lump under his
.law, and how when he was lying on
the ground some one kicked him in
the side and smashed his watch.
Has Proved Everything.
“He begged me not to die, but to
live and clear Ms name. Well, after
three weekB, I proved some things he
told me were true and after repeated-
ly demanding ,he evidence after four
months I got it and within the last
month I have proved everything told
me. *
"Nothing could separate Jimmie
from me, not even death, and Adams,
Utley, Potts and Osterman will never
know a moment's peace on earth.
Why should they?
"I cannot understand why everyone
cannot see they are trying to hide the
real crime and protect those men. If
we cannot get justice through the
courts, every newspaper in the United
States shall have thesq facts as we
have them and then see what the
opinion of the world will be.”
The fourth letter was dated May
16. In It Mrs. Sutton told of having
received a loiter from young Owens,
the chauffeur, and said that she would
Inclose a copy of that letter to
Swartz.
“You ran see from that,” she said,
“that Adams sat on the front seat. I
suppose he thought by stopping the
car It would start a and when
he found it would not, he started at
Jimmie anyway,
“1 firmly believe It was Jimmie who
called ‘Sentry’ when he saw Owens
leaving and realized what those, wild
beasts were up to and 1 suppose the
blow on the forehead was what si-
lenced him.
“In speaking of the trouble in haz-
ing at the.academy, he used to say,
‘You are perfectly safe out on the
grounds, for If anyone jumps you, ail
you have to do Is to cal) a- sentry.'
And thnt is why I believe it was Jim-
mie who called when he saw what
they were up to.”

Vaccinating the Negritos.
In order to vaccinate successfully'
tho Negritos who dwell In the moun-
tains of. Bataan and Zambales the
service of two Negrito chiefs have
been seucred and the work of vacci-
nation is being pushed along as rap-
idly as possible.
Heretofore It has been difficult to
round up all the Negritos for the
vaccinator, and the novel scheme of
plar.'ng the chiefs In charge was final-
ly adopted. They Immediately con-
sented to undertake the, work, are de-
lighted with tho service, and are not
allowing any mombors of the tribes
to escape them. In a number of in-
stances It has been known that Negri-
tos have spread tho disease among the
residents of tho lowlands, and the
present scheme promises to put a com-
plete stop to this.
The chiefs are accompanied by an
experienced vaccinator to see that,
everything is prop./rly done, but (hey
themselves arc doing the work. They
make regular Deports, too, and "'hen
| they run out of subjects make an in-
j spectlon Of those vaccinated, and all
j upon whom the vaccination has not
properly taken are Immediately sub-
jected to another treatment with tho
vaccine.—Manila Times.
Needless Wear of Roads By Autos.
A county surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists have
of doing the majority of their driving
on the crown or center of the road
Tills method of driving means that
one portion of the road takes all the
wear, and naturally, of course, gets
worn Into ruts and ridges.
If the traffic would spread Itself
and make all thnt portion of the road
from tho gutter to the top of Lhe
crown take a share of the wear, road
surfaces would last much longer and
would require less frequent repair.
In these days when roads are made
almost flat there Is no excuse for t his
habit of clinging to the crown; but
where roads are made with a great
deal of camber it is perhaps excus-
able, as driving on a continuous slope
is the reverse of pleasant.—Gentlewo-
man.
