mm AT BOISE CITY
Boise, lhaho., September 3. The four
teenth national Irrigation Congress opened
here today with a large attendance from
all parts of the United States. Represent
atives of every State Government, of the
Government of the United States,
de'egates appointed by Mayors of cities
in all parts of the country, representatives
of commercial industrail and financial
organizations, of agricultural and horticult
-ural societies, companies, immigration
societies, etc., and many other prominet
persons intersted in the subject of
irrigation are among those attending the j
Congress which will be in session until!
September 8, inclusive.
An interesting program has been
arranged for the Congress. It will
embrace a consideration and discussion
of the following main features: Saving
the forest; storing the floods; reclaiming
the deserts; establishing of homes on the
reclaimed land. The Congress is held in
the midst of irrigation projects showing
every state of development. Two of the
greatest enterprises of the Reclamation
Service of the United States, and smaller
propositions of private and co-operative
enterprise, ranging from the first year of
be taken as object lessons, teaching prac
tical irrigation from a practical stand
point Ample arrangements have been
made for the use of the division of the
congress on engineering and mechanics,
which will hold meetings of special inter
est throughout the congress. Stereoptic
an viewsof work under construction and
completed will be used in illustrating ad
dresses and reports. A comprehensive
exhibit of the products of irrigation, in
cluding grains, grasses, fruit of all kinds,
vegetables and especially sugar beets has
been arranged in quarters adjoining the
convention hall where the congress is
holding its sessions. The session today
was opened by Vice-President Fairbanks
and there were about 1500 delegates
present.
The desert is fast disappearing before the
magic touch of American thrift and
pluck. It is estimated that millions of
acres are now irrigated and the value of
our agricultural products has been in
creased thereby more thsn one hundred
nd fifty million dollars per annum. The
government has not entered upon the
problem of irrigation without due consid
eration. The irrigation law is founded
upon an entirely rational and defensible
theory. It provides that money from the
sale of public lands shall be set apart for
irrigation. Money so expended becomes
a charge upon the land benefitted, repay
able in annual instalments and returned
to reclamation fund. The fund becomes
an endless chain extendings its blessings
to future years.

ADDRESS OK VICE
PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
Mr. President and Members of the
national irrigation congress: It is in poss
ible to underestimate the importance of
the work in which you are engaged. The
rapid increase of our population makes it
imperative that we should reclaim the
waste places and make them productive.
A wise irrigation system increases the
number of American homes, thus aug
menting the conservative forces which are
the shfeguard of out political institutions.
I believe theimost conservative will always
be found upon the farm. The real bene
factor is the one who makes two blades of
grass grow where one grew before. They
promote the interests and welfare of the
home-makers. Irrigated lands in the
valleys of the arid slates and territories
produce in ' profusion fruits, vegetables,
grains and grasses from soil that but a
few years ago to the the casual observor
seemed beyond hope of cultivation.
It is estimated that theamount credited
to the reclamation service at the close of
the fiscal year 1908 will be $41,441,-
sxz.yo, ana wnen this expenditure is
made it will bring under irrigation nearly
1,200 000 1;"C "rk" . wnrli I
now authorized is equivalent to the esti
mated amount of the reclamation fund in
1 908. To complete the work sixty mill
ions of dollars in addition will be required
When completed the total amount of land
irrigated will be 3.200.000 acres. The
secretary of the interior has under con
sideration additional projects in the arid
districts which will cost $109,000,000,
and which when completed, will bring un
der irrigation 3.070,000 acres. When
the government completes work now un
dertaken it will render arable nearly 6,
300.000 acres at a cost of little more
than two hundred millions of dollars.
It is the purpose of the promoters of ir
rigation that the proceeds from the sale of
public domain should be appropriated en
tirely for the benefit of home-seekers.
Therefore the law provides that the limit
of area per entry upon irrigable lands
shall be restricted to what may be reason
ably required for the support of a family
Irrigation is only in its preliminary stage
in the United States. When all the non
productive irrigable lands to the extent of
irom nicy to one nunared million acres
have been brought under cultivation, the
wealth of the nation will be increased five
billion dollars.
One of the greatest questions in the fu
ture will be how to conserve and increase
the productive power of our agricultural
regions. Scientific irrigation will be the
factor of increasing importance in most of
our states. We are making marvelous
progress in evry depaitment ot our do.
mestie economy and nowhere is our ad
vancement more marked than in the field
of agriculture.

round.

against the ropes by sheer foice of his
weight Nelson fell Sack through the
ropes and Gan's chivalrously pulled him
back to the ring. As a reward for this
act of courtesy the Dane smashed Gans

wrestling. Nelson pushed Gans almost
through the ropes. This thing continued
with monotonous regularity. Finnally

Dane's head simultaneously with the
gong.

Rounds 27 and 28 were fairly' even
neither fighter having much advantage. '
In the 29th round, Nelson rushed repeat
edly, and seemed strong. Gans was
against the ropes at the close of this
round. In the 29th they fell against each
other, and Siler again warned Nelson to
cease fighting with his head. As the ,
bell rang Nelson hit Gans and the crowd
rose to Its feet in a storm of pritest.
The negro was cheered. Siler ones mora
warned Nelson to quit using his head.
The Blst and 82d rounds were all Gans
and only the gong saved Nelson. In the
33d Nelson started at once with his butt
ing tactics, but Gans kept right after
him. Both men were weak. The next
three rounds were uneventful, both men
wrestling and clinching. In the 36th
Nelson seemed to regain form a little, but
in the next round had to be again cau
tioned by the referee for butting. Not
until the 39th was there any more real
fighting, when Gans punched Nelson vig
orously over the heart and sent two
straight rights to face, fn the 39th they
started at a lively pace, but it was all
Gans' round. Gans asked Billy Graney
"What time is it?" in the 41st, and then
assumed the aggressive, landing several
stiff punches.
NeUon had it his own way for a minute
but Gans rallied and had the better of
the closing rally. In the 26th Nelson
went right after him but could not pene
trate Gan's defense. Both men were
very tired at the end of this round. Gans
sparred and saved his strengte, while
Nelson wasted his In useless swings.
ROUND 42-THE. LAST
Gans started this round with a straight
left to the face and they clinched, As
they broke from the clinch. Nelson de
liberately struck Gans below the belt
and the colored man slowly sank to the
floor. The blow was clearly observed by
everyone in the arena and there was not
a murmur of disent when the fight was
given to Joe Gans, the colored man by
Referee Siler.
