TROUBLED ITERS
Hints to Ballinger That He Let
Controversy With Pinchot
Cool Down.
NO RENEWAL AT DENVER
Bnt Trans-Mississippi Congress May
Be stirred Up by Any Man, Who
Discusses Topic Many
Projects Coming TTp.
PESVEB. Auff. IS. The BHlIinfrer
Pinchot controversy may not be carried
from Spokane to Denver. It was expect
ed that the difference between friends of
the two officials, which was a feature of
the National Irrigation Congress at Spo
kane last week, would be resumed at
sessions of the Trans-Mississippi Com
mercial Congress, which will formally
open here tomorrow morning. Many dele
pates to the Congress are said to be op
posed to a recurrence of hostilities, and
to be making efforts to have discussion
of the controversy barred from the con
vention. Tells Ballinger to Stay Away.
Mr. Ballinser was expected in Denver,
but is not coining. There is a report
among the delegates that President Tad
hinted to his Secretary of the Interior
that it would be well to absent himself
and let the controversy with Mr. Pinchot
cool down. Mr. Pinchot. however, will
he here. Any delegate may bring up any
subject at any session, and Irrigation,
reclamation and conservation of nat
ural resources are among the most im
portant of the many to be acted upon.
Tomorrow morning will be taken up
largely with opening addresses and It will
not be until afternoon that subjects of
Importance will be discussed. The wel
come will be delivered by Governor Shaf
roth. L'r.itd States Senator Hughes and
Congres-mian A. W. Rucker will speak
for the Congressional delegation from
Colorado. Responses will be made by
Governors Brooks. Wyoming: Curry. New
Mexico: Sloan. Arizona; Hadley, Mis
souri; Hay. Washington.
Speeches on Many Topics.
In the afternoon President Thomas F.
Walsh, of Denver, will deliver his ad
dress. John Barrett. Director of the
Bureau of American Republics, will speak
on commercial relations of the United
States with the Southern countries. La
Verne W. Noyes. of Chicago, president of
the National Business League, will speak
on the Consular service; Truman Q.
Palmer. California, on the beet sugar In
dustry and Its relation to Western agri
cultural interests; and Donald Fletcher,
of Tacoma, on municipal control of rail
way terminals.
At the night session Insurance will be
discussed by Charles Bos worth Smith, of
Chattanooga and by F. IX Campoell. of
St. Louis. Thomas B. Love will explain
the Robertson law of Texas.
Road From North to South.
Oregon and Washington, with the Co
lumbia River project, and the Mississippi
River states, are enthusiastic for water
ways, while the Central Western States
are working for larger appropriations for
Irrigation. A Denver man. Cornelius J.
Gavin, has the only entirely new project.
He will propose that the congress Indorse
r public highway from El Paso, Tex.,
through Yellowstone Park to the Cana
dian border. The proposition has been
well received. His plan entails the build
ing by each state affected of the. high
way within Its orders.
The Texas delegation Is continuing
to work for the establishment of a
naval station at Corpus Christ!. This
matter has been before Congress, where
a report by a committee embodying al
most the exact language of the Com
mercial Congress was presented.
Many Intersting Topics.
All In all. the sessions promise to be
interesting. Colorado delegates are op
posed to Glfford Pinchot; New Mexico
and Arizona always bring up the ques
tion of separate statehood; Kansas
wants better freight rates and water:
Oklahoma has many Interests, one an
expenditure of 14.000.000 on arid lands
In Western Oklahoma: delegates from
Grand Junction, Colo., ask a $25,000,000
appropriation by Congress for reclama
tion purposes, and Utah and Oregon are
Interested In better waterways.
Colonel Ike T. Pryor, of San Antonio,
chairman of the executive committee.
Is being urged for the presidency. His
home city is also after the next con
gress. William J. Bryan, ex-presldent of the
congress, will not be present, although
he probably will send a communication,
as in the past.

the only official of the track in the city.

"From what 1 have heard from Rose. I
believe he will not only open the track
here in spite of the Walker-Otis law, but
that it will be a most successful meeting.
The first day will be Thanksgiving, and
the season will be almost as long as It
was last year. I know that Rose also In

PRAISE FOR SEATTLE FAIR
Hughes Comments on Rapid Devel
opment of Northwest.
SARANAC INN. New York, Aug. 16.
Governor Hughes returned to his Sum
mer home tonight after his trip to the
Seattle Exposition. Of the Exposition
he said:
"It is complete and well arranged
and is very easily seen to advantage.
To me its conspicuous features are the
Alaskan exhibit and the forestry ex
hibition. "We do not realize the possibilities of
the Northwestern country and the
beauty is that, while it is rapidly de
veloping on the other side of the line,
there is no unfriendliness attending its
advancement."
