The con vention will declare for prohibition. Portland, Aug. 21. "Reclamation" and kindred subjects are apparently to share honors with "undesirable immigration" in the deliberations of the National Ir rigation Congress which assembled in the Lewis and Clarke auditorium today for a four days tendon. The subject of Immigration did not ap pear to be unexpected, nor was Its im portance ininimuniiicd by Governor (ieorge C. Pardee of California, Presi dent of the Congress. Governor Pardee thrice read the motion of William E. V Sinythe, of California to appoint a com mittee to ascertain if the action by con- greas was feasible in solving the prob lem of foreign immigration, and added if there was any delegates in the hall who had failed to hear the motion to come to the front and hear it read, so as to be able to vote intelligently on the disposition. A feature of the day was the reading by Gifford Pinchot, Chief forester of the I'nited States of a message to the con gress from President Roosevelt. The convention opened auspiciously. One thousand persons were present when the president's gavel fell, calling the del egates to order and the number swelled to twice that magnitude before the con gress had been in session an hour. At the night session hundreds of peo ple were turned away from the audi torium who had been attracted by tiie fact that aelection by the great Mormon Choir, of 200 voices from Ogden, Utah was on the program. Rrief speeches of welcome by Gover nor Chamlierliiin, Mayor I.nne and rep resentatives o. the local Commercia ImkHc followed by responses from Gover nor Mcudc, of Washington, Congress man Stevens of Texas; Hon. John Henry Smith, of Salt Lake, consumed the bulk of time during the first session. Governor Pardee delivered the annual address and the session concluded with addresses from the chairman of the dif ferent sections. The most striking of these was the reading of the president's message bv Pinchot. The President reviewed the im portance of reclamation work in the de velopment of the country . counselled patience until tho operations of the law became apparent and dwelt on the impor tanceand wide scope of the act. The President warned the peoplo ngainst TAFT ENTERTAINED. Sultan of Sulu and Dignitaries Occupy Seaatt. Jolo, Aug. 20. (lelvel in Transmis sion.)
