LOS ANGELAS, Mey 0. Important bus
iness occupied the morning hours of
the Women's Club Congress, and con
siderable discussion was aroused In re
gafd to the amendment, especially
those defining the representation of
clubs. An ntnendment offered by Dr.

of te per capita tax from 10 to

The Strict b of the Louisiana Purchase

for a report of t.I onsmItlee, t'tus Af
fording unusual ad,antige for retting
forth plans and suag- fctlona for the fair.
Gome of us feel that It la a great mistake
that our women from Oreson Were not
authorised and Instructed by the Lewis
and Clark Centennial Commission -to call
a conference of the women of the North
weft while they ire here together.

erous and varied collection of California

waft transformed into a perfumed bower
by the thousands of carnations that had
taken the place of the oillas In the deco
rations. Masses of golden popples vied
"'with the deep purple brodcau of the des
ert. Greasowood branches formed a love

Indeed laid her most lovely offerings at
our feet. The press department has ex
tended every courtesy to your correspond
ent and provided a seat at the press ta
ble, where all proceedings can be o
served and heird. The delightful cli
mate Is proving a panacea for all our
aches and pains, and we are enjoying
ourselves better every day.
Some of the Oregon delegation have not
been able to resist the temptation of
sightseeing, and are Improving many
hours In that way. Tomorrow, the con
vention adjourns for a day at Long
Beach. Special arrangements have been
made for the conveyance of officers,
speakers and delegates to the beach. Be
sides bathing and a ride on the bay, we
ore to partake of a Spanish dinner. The
Pasadena Clubs has Invited 00 Of us to
visit their city Friday, when we will have
an opportunity to see a real orange grove
and the far-famed ostrich farm.
Mrs. Denlson, prominently mentioned
as the coming president. Is a very Charm
ing woman. The fict that she Is presi
dent of the New York Sorosls Club has
gtven her a place and measure of recog
nition, but she has not strengthened Iter
chances of election by her occupancy of
the chair aa vice-president, and the con
vention has practically decided that she
Is not so well fitted for leadership as Mrs.
Platt-Decker. Mrs. Decker, when giving
her address on civil service reform, was
accorded an ovation which indicated very
strongly the hold she his in the hearts
of the women. Oregon and Washington
representatives are now at work with
the nominations committee. I believe the
Northwest will favor Mrs. Decker.

STORY OF -THE CONVENTION.
Union o2 North and South Cemented
for Some Time to Come.
LOS ANGELES. CaL, May 6.-To-day
may be chronicled as the day when Mas
sachusetts clubwomen saw all their pet
plans, for which they have been fight
ing two years, go down befofa the vote of
the' convention. Final protest was given
to the admission of colored women's
clubs; the effort to down the individual
club as a step toward reorganization,
through State federations only, and the
plan to reduce the per capita tax from
10 to 5 cents. The dispatch with which
the three issues were defeated in the
midst of intense excitement on both sides
Is a matter of surprise even to the dele
gates who aided in the result. While
Massachusetts Is sorrowful, there Is no
element of bitterness In the defeat, and 4
tne union or the South and the North, as
far as women's clubs aro concerned,
promises to stay cemented for some time
to come.
Massachusetts was first obliged to bow
to adverse fate when It was discovered
that Its cherished scries of amendments
were Illegal in that they disfranchised
members already in. They were, there
fore, stricken from the list of amend
ments to be considered.
Compromise Amendments.
The Convention then turned its atten
tion to the compromise amendments,, first
considering Section 9 of Article L After
several attempts to change it. it was ac
cepted as prepared by the compromise
committee In the following form:
"Each federated club. National society,
or kindred organization of 50 members or
less shall be entitled to be represented by
one delegate; for & membership of Be
tween 50 and 100, by two delegates, and
for an additional 100 members, one addi
tional delegate.
"Each State or territorial federation of
25 clubs Or less shall be entitled to be
represented by five delegates. Each State
or territorial federation shall be -entitled
to one additional delegate for every 25
clubs."
Then came consideration of Section S of
Article II, the second feature in tho color
matter. This section belongs to the pres
ent by-laws, and when Miss Jane Addams,
of Hull House, Chicago, offered to amend
it, Mrs. Lowe, notwlthstandfcig the usual
GO days' notice had not been given, so
eracloialy gave indulgence to Miss Ad-
dams a to call forth warm applause, and
the appreciative acknoledgwement from
Miss Addams won a like tribute from the
audience Miss Addams, who believes In
the admission of colored clubs, wished
this section amended so two, Instead of
one, of the adverse votes of the member
ship committee of five would be neces
sary to Keep out an unwelcome clUb. Miss
Addams made a worthy plea, but it went
down before a large vote; so that the sec
tion remains, as heretofore, with barriers
around the possible admission of a col
ored club, and reads as follows:
"The President shall refer all applica
tions for membership to the committee on
membership appointed by the Board of
Directors for Its action upon the same.
The action of the committee on member
ship shall be in writing, and a unanimous
vote of the committee shall bo required
to elect. In case the Committee falls to
agree, the application shall be referred
to the whole board, the written Vote of
two-thirds of which shall be necessary
to elect to membership."
The last question considered related to
the reduction of per capita tax from 10
to 5 cents, which Induced Mrs. Lydla Will
iams, of Minnesota, to speak Scornfully
of the federation "doing business on a
nickel basis." Mrs. Lowe also made pert
inent remarks against reduction. The an
nual dues for State federations shall be
20 cents per club, as heretofore, and a
new clause provides that dues for each
local federation of clubs shall bo $1 per
club.
The decision to adopt the parliamentary
manual of Mrs. Emma Fox. the present
Recording Secrtary. as authority fcr the
federation, led Mrs. Urqhart Lee to
urge the acceptance of soma manual writ
ten by a man. Consolation came to Mrs.
Fax in the ultimate support of the con
vention. Contest tor Hcxt Meetlnjr Pine.
Then camu a friendly contest for tho
entertainment of the next biennial. Mrs.
Williams, who spoke for Minneapolis, said
the Commercial Club had pledged the
money, and promised to da all the work,
and tried to Impress the delegates that
there Would be taxation without repre
sentation. Mrs. Shields, of Missouri,
backed with invitations of men in high
positions, extends a similar courtesy from
St LOUls.
At the suggestion of Mrs. Lowe, a tele
gram Was ordered sent to Mrs. Potter
Palmer In her bereavement.
One of the afternoon sessions on "Value
of subordinate federations" was In charge
of Mrs. A. E. Thompson, of Kansas. Mrs.
W. N, Pattilo, of Georgia, led off with a
speech on "Work of Local Federations
Ih Philanthropy and Reform," followed by
Mts. Virginia McClurg, of Colorado
Springs, who represented tho work of the
Cliff Dwellings Association of Colorado.
The subject "What Local Federations
May Accomplish in Civic Work" was
handled by Mrs. Lillian DUncanson, of
Illinois. Simultaneously another session
on civil service reform was In Charge cf
Miss Perkins, of Massachusetts. Among
the leading speakers Were Mrs, Sarah
Piatt Decker, who presented the sub
ject as it relates to public Institutions of
charity and correction, and Mrs. Thad
deus Stanwocd. of Illinois, who handled
''Civil Service Reform In Our Public
Schools."
To-night's programme was of a musical
character. Mrs. Charles Rhodes gave an
Illustrated address on "Recollections cf
Wagner Festivals at Bayreuth."
The Political Outlook.
The second business session opened this
morning with a crowded house. Tho po
litical outlook Is that Mrs. Decker and
Mrs. Denlson are running neck and neck
for the presidency. Mrs. Decker's reite
rated statement not to interfere with the
chances of the New York woman appar
ently had no effect on her following, and
State after State has offered allegiance.
Mrs. Denlson Is not at all disturbed over
the change, and would throw her influ
ence to Mrs. Decker If to any one, and her
still loyal friends are In every way try
ing to advance the Interests of their can
didate. The possibility of the presidency
Coming West has unsettled the promoters
of candidates for the Secretary offices.
The Burdette forces seemed to have scat
tered somewhat since California women
have not been a unit In their candidacy
for a chief office.
Utah is one of 19 federated States which
have not had an office In tho general fed
eration, and they are beginning to loudly
nrrttrst ntrnlnKf thplr tnrk of rotirOftpntfl-
ion. Utah will be satisfied with a posi
tion on the board, and for this place Mrs.
W. A. Nelden, of Salt Lake City, is prom
inently mentioned, Minnesota' Is announc
ing Mrs. Lydla P. Williams for the presi
dency; Kansas Is pushing Mrs. Mary
Vance Humphrey for First Vice-President,
while delegates mentioned for minor
office are numerous.

At our State Federation meeting last

Teports of their work, an Increase of over
100 per cent, and representing over 1100
women. We closed a moot enthusiastic
and helpful convention the day before we
started for Los Angeles. Our delegation
here numbers 14. We have In our State
Federation four clubs belonging to the
General Federation, and one In the state
belonging to the General Federation only.
We are glad to report that tho delegate
representing this last-mentioned club was
converted to state federation after she
Joined tho delegation Ob. the way down to
California. The state has her full quota
of delegates here. Two of the Individual
clubs are also, represented. Our federa
tion Is well organized for work, under
state committees on library, education,
domestic science, civics and legislation.
"The federation, through Its library
committee, had passed at the last meeting
6f our Legislature the first library law
ever enacted In the state. The Portland
Women's Club elected a woman one of our
state board on the school board of our
largest city. Our -women are galntng a

strength with our progress. Wo are aere
to help answer with you all the questions
arising to further the Uplifting of hu
manity." Will of Mm. Susan G. Tcvi.

UNDER THE CAREY ARID LAND ACT
State af Wanalairton'rf Selections
Jtoet U 8,00O Acre.
OLYMPlA, Was.h., May f. The State
Of Washington has selected S7.O00 acres of
land ortder the Carey arid land act that
Is well worth saving", and fcin be suc
cessfully Irrigated. This is the feport Of
the newly-'appointed Arid Land Commis
sioner, John L. Murray, who has Just
returned from Kitzvillc, where he took
over the records of the ofilce from ex
Commlssloner Holcomb. The records are
very irieagerr but thoy show that over
S3.000 acres of the land selected He under
the prospective Highland ditch In Walla
Walla nnd Yakima Counties. The sur
veys of the state show that this ditch is
feasible, and if completed will make lands
that are now valueless worth 25 to ilO
per acre. It would Irrigate not ohly the
arid lands heretofore referred to, but
Several hundred thoflsand acres of lands'
that aro now practically worthless that
the state has acquired through Other
grants. When asked regarding his plans
today, Mr, Murray saldf
"The Government has required the State
to show some" evidence Of godd faith In
reclaiming the lands already selected, and
the first object to be attained is there
fore to save to the state the SJ.ooo acres"
Selected, nnd the sUtna of money already
expended on them in surveys. -Tne land
Is well worth thfr effort, and the General
Land Office will be asked for time to per
fect the filings and id -complete the con
tract on the part of the stato, which no
doubt will be granted, afid then the only
other thing that can ibe done is to await
the pleasure of the next Legislature, aa
there are no funds now available for fur
ther work."
PROVES ALMOST PURE COBALT.
Another Good Strike in Standard
Mine in Qaartxbtir DHtrlct.
SUMPTER. Of., May 6. A strike pt
seven Inches of what appears 'to be al
most pure cobalt in the Standard mine,
In tho Qunrtxburc district, excited more
than ordinary Interest in this section.
In addition to the heavy per cent Of co
balt It carried, it is reported that tho ore
In the etreik assays $243 gold. Cobalt,
being one of the rarest of America's min
eral products, has attracted much atten
tion to the Standard mine, one of the
principal owners of which is United
States Marshal Zoetn HdUser. Cobalt
values have steadily Increased with depth,
together with gold. A tunnel driven on
the ledge outlined s. great prospect. A
shaft was sunk from the surface 150 feet,
and on this the management is now
drifting under the hill, gaining Consider
able depth In the 400 fret made already.
It was In the face of this drift that the
Splendid strike was made. Work ori this
level is beln$ pushed to strike the sister
ledge at a sharp angle on the Copper
Ridge claim, owned by tho Cleave broth
ers. The ledgo is of -great width, surface
'Work revealing a breadth of SO to 50 feet,
and at the point of convergence much
more. Streaks of fcreat value aro found
In the Vein, one of the very important of
which is Hhat Carrying the cobalt. The
work where the drift is now being run
shbWs cobalt across the entire face of ihe
tunnel, but not until the present have
'the values gone SO high. Tho report,
now satisfactorily Confirmed, makes the
Standard and the entire Quartzburg dis
trict an unusually attractive field to In
vestors, despite the closing of the matto
smelter there, which Is Understood to bo
merely temporary.

visited this locality since the trees blos
somed, nnd growers are perpJexed over

last week while the trees were yet In
