IS Annual Meeting of the National Irrigation Congress Opens at Spokane Want More Businesslike Methods. (By Assoolmed Press.) SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 9. That the time between tae conventions of the National Irrlsation Congress is yrac.ically wasted because of lack of a businesslike p sta . 1' procedure, was the declaration R. Insinger, chairman of the board of control, in his address today at the opening ses sion Insinger spoke of tho vast amount of business which annually comes before the officers of the or ganization and which divided, with out orderly procedure, between the executive heads and the board of control. He asserted that while the congress has every year placid itself more and more ,ln a position of doing good, still Its possibilities are crip pled badly because there are np prac tical methods used in the standing organization. This statement from Insinger is the forerunner of a change in the constitution which It Is believed will be proposed during the congress and which will give the con gress the latitude desired.

Ml CLOUD BURST THEIR T M J tho principal speakers this morning was Governor Hay of Washington, who welcomed the delegates in be half of the state. Governor Hay was followed by President George E.

Mayor Pratt directly charged that "private capital is be ing used to impede the work of the government in Its preservation and reclamation work."

Hanna has issued a temporary injunction restraining tre city of Medford from entering upon the Hanley premises on Little Butte creek. The order was made upon the complaint and petition of M. F. Hanley, through his attorney A. E. Reanes, who alleged that the recent term of court held by Judge John S. Coke of the second judicial district, in which damages to the amount of $000 were awarded to Mr. Hnnley was unconstitutional, that'-tho o'rder of Judge Coke calling the , special term wns not properly served upon Mr. Hanley Judge Hanna required Mr. Hanley to file a bond of $10,000 and then Issued the injunction. It was for the purpose of expedit ing matters that the city petitioned Governor Benson to order Judge Coke to hold a special term of court In this city after Judge IJanna had refused. The loss to the city is esti mated at over $100 a day, from its Inability to complete the gravity water system which is being installed at a cost of $305,000. The case will now await a hearing in the September term of court, It will probably be carried to tho su preme court. During the session held by Judge Coke the constitutionality of the spe-, 'clal session was questioned, but he upheld the legality of the proceed ings. Feeling is Intense In Medford. This is the fourth Instance where Judge Hanna has ruled against the city. The delay in the building of tbe sys tem is costly as it prevents the city from obtaining a revenue with which to meet the interest on the large 1 bond Issue, which taxes the resources of the city to the utmost.
