THE IRRIGATION GONGRESS.
The editor attended the National
Irrigation Congress held at Ogden,
last Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. Twenty-six States and
territories were represented by
delegates. The Convention was call
ed to order by U. S. Senator Clarke,
of Montana. The Governor, of Utah
gave the delegates in attendance a
warm welcome, and the Mayor of
Ogden told the delegates that the
police force was all powerful and
under strict orders to enforce a law,
but that in him was invested full
pardoning power and full pardon was
granted before-hand to all the dele
gates who violated law.
The addresses of welcome were re
sponded to by President Clarke after
which the singing of a prize ode to

McClurg, of Colorado Springs, and
sung by the Tabernacle choir of over
two hundred voices was rendered in a

Oakland, Sept. 19. Dr. Edwin F.
Dimraick was found in the throes of
death in a lonely canyon of tho Con
tra Costa hills last night. Thursday
io threatened the lives of his wife
and Edward Troy, coming at them
with an ax. Today he is dead, and
unless the circumstances that sur
round his demise are more clearly ex
plained Sheriff Veale will hold the
whole camping party of which he was
member under arrest. Obviously
the whole story has not been told.
This was a camping party from
Oakland, composed of Dr Dimmick,
Mrs. Dimmick, Edward Troy and a
man named Bishop. Their explana
tion is that Dimmick turned violently
insane yesterday, and in the evening
fled from the party and was lost in
the hills. The fact that his insanity.
if there was nothing more, should
nave proved so quickly ratal, appears
to Sheriff Veale in need of a clearer
explanation than has yet been given.
Pending that explanation, the surviv
ing campers will stay in jail at Mar
tinez.
I). S. Mulholland found Dimmick's
body in a lonely canyon far out in the
stretch between the Fish ranch and
Uifayette. It was lying in the bed of
a creek on the Carroll ranch. ( kr
oner Curry took charge of the body
and notified Sheriff Veale that the
circumstances surrounding the death
apieared suspicious.
When first seen by Mulholland,
Dimmick was walking slowly and in a
crouching position along the ridge of
a low hill back of the Carroll house.
He was holding his hands to his
stomach and was evidently in great
pain. Presently he threw his hands
into the air, and falling backward,
started to roll down the side of the
j h 11. At the edge of the cliff which
overhangs a canyon, he recovered
himself and stood erect for a moment
onlv to fall over again to the bottom
of the gully.
Mulholland rushed to his assistance
and found him lying face down in the
sand. His hands were pressed against
his abdomen.
.Making uimmicirs position more
comfortable, he hastened to summon
phvsician. When he returned about
half an hour later Dimmick was dead.
Seueral explanations are offered.
There is a storv of 3 fight between
Dimmick and Troy, in which the for
mer attacked the latter with an ax.
It is known that Dimmick was jealous
of Troy. Owing to the social and
professional prominence of Dimmick,
the affair has caused a sensation
here.

of Senator Fulton, "that many specu

From all reports that the Plain
dealer can base conclusion on, we
think the following to be true solution
of this matter. Bagshaw and Snyder
had and abundance of whiskey at the
cabin on the night of Snyder's disap
pearance. Bagshaw and Snyder quar
relled just before bed time and both
were in such a drunken condition that
they were not rational. After pre
paring for bed Snyder put on his shoes
and in his undershirt started for
Perdue and got lost and died of ex
posure or drowning in Stout Creek the
same night. This would account for
the finding of Snyder's pants, over
shirt, coat, collar and necktie, in the
cabin afterwards.
In a previous issue we mentioned
the finding of blood stains and bullet
holes in the cabin. A witness gave
testimony that the bullet holes had
been shot in the cabin some time be
fore Bagshaw jumped the claim from
another man; and that the blood
stains on the floor were caused by the
hanging of a deer in the cabin, pre
vious to Snyder going there with
Bagshaw. And now that this mys
tety has been cleared up and all sus
picion has been removed from Bag
shaw's shoulders, the only point re
maining is the almost culpable negli
gence of Bagshaw in not informing
the citizens of Perdue and Roseburg
of the truo facts regarding Snyders's
mysterious disappearance. Bagshaw's
own reticence in failing to give pub
lic information and challenging in
quiry into the matter has been the
cause of the mystery for tho
three months.
bans over to Europe where the pow
ers that be are ordained by Pope,
King or Emperor and their subject

Remember also Father Warde, that
in 177C some of our sensible fore
fathers retired the gods from politics
and declared that the right to govern
consists in the consent of the gov
erned. In reading those powerful
and most grand documents ever re
ceived in the minds of a body of men
the Declaration of Independence and
Constitution of the United States, we
find that the only rightful authority
in religion is conscience; said grand
documents are human and ordained of
liberty -the grandest word
spoken by men or gods.
In fine, father, the members of said
Union have a greater cause and power
and show more intelligence than have
a set of men who show no better
sense than to sacrifice their natural
rights for the sake of their artificial
church. James Inman.

The political crisis is still the sole
topic of discussion in the United
Kingdom. Premier Balfour is ex
pected to have an audience with King
Edward of Balmoral today, when
doubtless he will present the nomina
tions for the Cabinet vacancies. The
exact nature of these appointments
still continues matter of varied sur
mises. We notice that the Eugene Guard
is still kicking and kicking and astut
ing and astuting on the little campaign
picture in which President Roosevelt
and Binger Hermann have such broad
expressive smiles. The Guard did not
have gumption enough to get up a
"republican harmony" love feast and
that is what the Guard continues to
kick itself for.
The fact that the last census shows
a decrease of population in a number
of northern states generally regarded
as prosperous, and an increase of
population in some of the southern
states, has a significance politically as
well sa industrially and commercially.
Congressional representation is based
upon population. If northern states
lose in such representation and south
ern states gain correspondingly the
section equilibrium in congress may
ultimately bo affected. Examples of
loss in population in tho last decade
are shown in Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Colorado. Some of the
eastern states gained but little and in
many sections of the eastern states
there was a considerable percentage
loss. On the other hand large gains
are credited to southern states, not
ably Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Flordia and Texas. Tho great develop
ment of cotton manufacturing in tho
southern states in recent years has
been potential in attracting population,
the influence is liable to continue in
greater ratio. Tho South and par
ticularly Toxas has always been known
for "that beastly democratic major
ity," but in this process of shift and
change olection returns are very apt
to show a change also.
The Woodburn Independent is quite
correct in the statement that Presi
dent Roosevelt can proceed no further
against trusts than the law allows.
The President is but an executive
officer. If the people want a radical
anti-trust law they should elect only
those who would respect their wishes
and do their bidding, and rest assured
that President Roosevelt would place
no obstacle in the way. It is partic
ularly noticeable that Democratic
Congressmen have not been eager to
propose measures antagonistic to
trusts, and on more than one occasion
have blocked progress in this respect.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland, one of
the most prominent Democratic lead
ers and mentioned as a candidate for
President again, is the pet of Wall
Street and the choice of trust promo
ters. He has posed as anti-trust
merely in his free trade attitude,
but thus is wanted by Coal Baron
Baer, and such men as Pieqiont
Morgan would welcome such a
condition, knowing well that trusts
would still thrive. It would be well
for Democrats to look to their own
house and not censure a Republican
executive whose hands have been
tied to a great extent by the course
pursued by Democratic representa
tives. Hearst, it is truo, for political
aggrandizement, has fought the
trusts, but he is only one Democrat
and will never get the Presidential
nomination at tho hands of his party.
What have the other Democratic rep
resentatives from New York done?
All. that has been accomplished along
this lino has been tho work of a Re
publican Congress. The Democrats
bark, but thoy never bite.
