Twenty-five thousand acres so'ith

of land that comes under the south
canals and natural ditches according
to figures compiled today by Engineer
Darley, after the last ditch line was
run today. . This Is surprising and
pleasing both, as original plans cal

ways, can be accurately ascertained.
With 25,000 acres on the soutri si'le,

Insurgent Cummins Makes Gloomy
Predictions For Party.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. Senator Albert
Baird Cummins, of Iowa, started
homeward today openly advocating a
warfare between "Insurgents" and
"Stand-patters" in the Republican
party. He said this morning that the
campaign of the Insurgents has just
begun. .He declared the ensurgents
will work for further revision and
reduction of the tariff, hardly any
had hopes of complete and general
revision however, within 10 years.
He said: "In my judgment the
tariff will never again be an Issue
between the Republicans and Demo
crats. The decisive Issue between the
i two defined 'elements in the Repub
lican pajrty, and I believe It will be
settled 'definitely at the next National
convention."
He Bald he lioped that in 10 years
the people would elect the right mem
bers of congress to secure a right re
vision. BEVERLEY, Aug. 9. Taft entered

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug.9.
With the tattered battle flags waving
in- the air and the quavering battle
cries waking the echoes of the Mor
mon capital, the remnants of the van
ishing hosts of the Grand Army of the
Republic pitched camp today in Salt
Lake City. Special trains from the
east and central west completed the
passage of the Rockies and emptied
their human freight ot tired but en
thusiastic veterans in to the Salt Lake
railway station this morning, and
were met by the old soldiers of the
far west and Pacific coast. Most of
the aged warriors have stood up well
under the long journey and are able
to stir things up in Brigham Young's
town, but for a few the trip will
probably be a last sacrifice On the al
tar of patriotism.
The encampment opened today, and
which will extend through the entire
week, la the forty-third In the history
of the Grand Army. The National
Association of Union ex-prisoners .of
war opened Its thirty-seventh en
campment today, and the Woman's
Relief Corps convened it; twenty
seventh national meeting. Other or
ganizations affiliated with the Grand
Army will also meet during the week.
Several cities are asking for the 1910
encampment; with St. Louis appar
ently having the best chance of land
ing the plum.
The encampment will have several
matters ot importance before It.
Among them will be action on a re
port from a special committee ap
pointed at the Toledo encampment
last year to consider and outline t
plan for the incorporation of the trus
tees of the permanent fund of the
Grand Army. .
