IRRIGATION IN IDAHO CONGRESS WILL MEET AT BOISE IN SEPTEMBER. Joseph H. Hutchinson, ex-Llenten ant-Governor of Idaho, Discusses .Plans for the Gathering. An official call for the fourteenth Na tional Irrigation Congress, which will be held at Boise, Idaho, September 3 to 8 inclusive, has been issued, and irrigation workers and the citizens of the lively city of Boise are already hard at work advertising and preparing for the gather ing. Joseph H. Hutchinson, ex-Lieuten-ant-Governor of Idaho and a member of the National Irrigation Board of Control, is in the city and' he volunteers the in formation that Boise is going to make the coming congress never to be forgotten in the history of irrigation work. "We are already assured of the pres ence of at least 1500 delegates," said Mr. Hutchinson last night. "The Governors of 15 states have promised to attend, and Vice-President Fairbanks will open the congress. We plan to have a grand dis play of vegetable and fruit products raised on reclaimed land, and I will say that Idaho, as she always has in the past, will carry away all the prizes. We shall beat your Hood River apples, we. shall beat your cherries, we shall beat the fruits from any state in the Union. However, even at that, we are arrang ing to have the exhibits from your State Fair which will be held at Salem the week before our congress opens trans ferred and placed in Boise as a part of the exhibit. "Another feature which we are able to offer is practical study of the work of reclamation. During the congress we shall have free excursions run to all the great Irrigation projects which are under way or under consideration In our state. These excursions will also give our guests some idea of real scenery. One of the most important will be to that Niagara of the West, Shoshone Falls, where a $5,000,000 electrical plant is being con structed which will produce more power than do those at Niagara. Then near by we shall take our lrrigationists to the Twin Falls project, where water was turned on 120.000 acres little more than a year ago and where in 100 days reapers were at work harvesting the first crop. We plan also to visit the Payette and MInandoka project, for which the Gov ernment has appropriated $10,000,000." Mr. Hutchinson is an enthusiastic lrri- gationlst. He believes in irrigation, even though he was not far-sighted enough, as he says, "to buy land two years ago for $2 an acre which is now held at $200 an acre." Mr. Hutchinson is also a strong Idahoan. In fact, he believes in the whole Northwest, and he Is particularly anxious that Portland shall be well rep resented at the coming irrigation con gress, since she entertained the same people so well during the Fair last Sum mer.

MANY MILLS OPEN Strike of Washington Shingle- weavers Not General. FIRST ESTIMATE TOO LARGE Less Than Half of Plants Deserted by Union Men No Lockout Is . Contemplated In Factor ies Now Running. SEATTLE, Wash., June 22. Special.) Reports to the Shingle Mills Bureau to day 6how tha the first estimate that 60 per cent of the "star" mils had been closed by the striking; shingle weavers is overdrawn. Complete detailed re ports will not be had until Monday and the strikers' committee will not have any definite information for several days, but all Indications are that less than half the mills were deserted by the union men. Most members of the union refused to go out on the sympathetic strike. In the Arlington, Standwood, Snoho mish and Sedro-Woolley districts the union men refused to strike. The num ber of mills closed In these localities is very small.

In Snohomish, a mill owned by & man who led a fight among the mill men for recognition of the unions and vetoed the strike insurance fund was closed. One-sixth of the mills shut down in the strike are not in the membership of the Shingle Mills Bureau, while the mill owned by Dan W. Bass, president of the Shingle Mills Bureau was not closed. The story has gone out that the union weavers might be locked out In the mills not already closed. This Is not true. The story Is probably based upon the fact that the mills were considering a two weeks' close-down to steady the market for star shingles. If such a close-down were ordered it would not be a' move di rected against the strikers and both the manufacturers and union leaders real ize It. The strike Itself may solve the question of curtailment without a close-down. Aberdeen's Big Growth Is Shown. ABERDEEN. Wash., June 22. (Spe-. cial.)

However, as I was made a Christmas present of two bottles of Duffy's I used it, and before I had finished using them I felt so much better that I used four more bottles, which stopped the aching pains, the cough, the pain in my side and made me feel like a new person generally.
