In several of the grades the teachers had to resort to fore to prevent the little ones from being trampled to death.

Secretary- Moore read the minutes of me previous meeting, at which the asso ciation was formed, which were unani- cun was rormed, w mously adopted. They are as follows When Mr. E. M. Brannlck. vIce-Dresl- 4at for Oregon of the National Irriga tion Congress, sent out invitations to meet Mr. Newill, chief engineer of Re clamation Service, and Mr. Maxwell on their visit here this .last Summer, no one expected to see such a gathering as there Is here today. I will briefly state: that as a result of meeting these gentle men, a delegation was sent to the Na tional Congress at Colorado Srrlngs from Oregon that "came, saw and conquered," for It was the Oregon delegation that were the first ones to oppose the merging of the National Irrigation Congress into the Trans-Mlsslsslppi Congress, result ing in the overthrow of those who stated: "that Oregon need not feel disappointed if any portion of the flrst $19,000,000 were not expended In her borders, as there was plenty to come after this sum was devoted to irrigation In other states." Your delegation did not see It in this light, and when' their plans came to light your delegates determined to enter a protest at any risk, and w'th the odds of 16 to 2 against them, the'r committee on permanent organisation handed in a minority report which resulted In the overthrow of those who had planned the merging of the National Irrigation Con gress Into the Trans-Mlsslssl;pi Commer cial Congress, which would throw all its Influence to the support of their plans, to sidetrack Oregon and secure the bulk ot the money to be expended on two or three large tracts of land outside the State of Oregon. The following clipping from the Irriga tion Age, published In Chicago, gives Its opinion, of the Rjlonof the congress In defeating the' merger prop3rtlOTl. It Is headed: . "IF THIS fiE TREASON, MAKE THE MOST OF IT." "If, In the blood .of the martyrs be found the seed of the church, then In the slaughter of the proposition to amalgam ate the Irrigation Congress with "The Trans-Mississippi will be found the Inev itable perpetuation of the former body as an Independent and national organisa tion. Suoulder to shoulder, sparing no effort, neglecting no precaution, will the opponents of the merger now feel It incum bent upon them to prove the strength and consistency of their position. They have bullded better than they knew, and tn the next session of the congress at Ogden will be seen the wisdom of their policy." After the return of your delegates to Portland a meeting was called for the purpose of forming an association that would promote the cause of irrigation In this state. The minutes of the afternoon meetlnjf Werottmn read. THE EVENfNO MEETING. ' At the meeting on the evening of Octo ber. J&. after considerable discussion of the opportunities lor government irriga tion work In Oregon. It was decided to call a general meeting November 18, In order that a full discussion might be had of all matters pertaining to Irriga tion In the different sections of the state where irrigation Is possible, so that In formation could be conveyed to the gov eminent engineers, to aid . them in the selection of proposed reservoir sites and canals. To asafstxjn the amalgamation of conflicting interests so that wnere vai uable tracis- are likely to be withheld from development and settlement, from any cause such as litigation over water richts. insufficiency of capital, or exorui tant charges for land or water, that these difficulties might be overcome ana mere bv offer a better opportunity for an ecjuit able and peaceful settlement. Also to look Into the laws of the state govern Ing water rights, and the possibility of rnrnnratlons tying UP largo tracts of lands bv occupying long strips of terrl tory which would control much larger tracts. These are all matters of great imnortance to every person ir the state. and should be thoroughly discussed and settled at this meeting, for If the laws are so framed that there will be but little or no litigation, ths water ana land furnished to those who till the soil, at the lowest possible cost, and all avail able UftoVaW stlppli weteiy-opeaMd tnr settlement at .the earnest possiDie date, the results bound to follow will bring an "uivpaTaniea "pptitywuj u..t. for with about 3,000.000 aerM of land In cultivation bv Irrigation an Income at the least calculation of $30 per acre, or $60,009? 000 per year, will be produced, more than Is now brought In by all the different resources of the state combined. MATTERS OF COLONIZATION. In mn tiers of colonisation this associ ation can furnish information to Intend ing settlers that will assist them very materially In selecting their locations, by sending literature to the various emi gration boards and bureaus of informa tion throughout the United States and Europe. This Is of as muuh Importance the :Act; . I H a You touch the button and m we will do the rest. There J is no Light as Convenient As Economical Nor as Safe as 3 n !

As we have over 3.000.000 acres of land to irrigate It will take about $00,000 people to do the work, and It will take Intelll rent advertising-, corresponding and In struction after their arrival, before the settler Is permanently located, and this convention could not do better thaa to appoint an advertising committee to carry out a special Plan of advertising ror the different irrigated districts, as they While this convention cannot In the short time set apart for its work accomplish all that might be desired, a beginning can be made in the right direction and by the appointment of committees to keep up the work outlined here, and re porting to the secretary regularly, a large amount of - good - work can be. accomp lished between conventions. At the conclusion of the Secretary's re port motions were Indulged In by various delegates present. some Excitement. Mr. Brink, of Prineville, moved that a committee of five be appointed on creden tials, three on business and fifteen on resolutions. His reason for making the motion was that a program of business to be transacted was necessary and that it was necessary to know who were enti tled to seats In the convention. He also stated that of the committee of fifteen on resolutions ten should be appointed from the delegations coming from east of the Cascades, as he said this is essentially an Eastern Oregon affair. This motion was seconded by Ben Bell ing, of Multnomah, but before It could be put before the house, Ernest Bross, of Multnomah, suggested tha,t the otner committees provided for In the printed program be appointed also. And he fur ther suggested that five members should be appointed on each of the following committees: Legislation, arbitration, colonisation and forestry. AN AMENDMENT OFFERED. Mr. McDanlel of Baker City then offered an amendment to the original motion, that a committee of one be appointed from each delegation to decide on an order of business. At this juncture Mr. Davis, of Marlon asked whether this was a meeting to elect officers or not. As excitement be gan to run high, Ben Belling suggested that whether or not the convention will elect officers Is to be decided by a major ity of the delegatesbut that he under stood that it was not now the time to elect offlrcrs. This suggestion whs acted upon by Mr. Frasier, of Lane County,- who suggested that all previous motions be withdrawn. This was done. Whitney L. Boise, of Multnomah, then moved that a committee of Ave be ap pointed on credentials, and a recess be taken for the appointment of the com mittee. This motion was unanimously adopted and a recess of five minutes was taken, during which time there was many secret conclaves. COMMITTEE APPOINTED. When the meeting was again called to order President Devers announced the ap pointment of the following committee on credentials: W. G. Thompson of Malheur. O. L. Miller of Baker, C. W. Elklns of Crook, Samuel Connell of Multnomah and E. J. Frailer of Lane. Mr. Devers then Introduced Ben Selling, chairman of the subcommittee cn. . enter tainment, who in a neat talk told the member presei4o4"-ile .pleasure ,. had provided for them and" corrected the Impression that theater tickets were only for tomorrow and - Wednesday - evenings, but said that they were for this and the following three evenings. He concluded by wishing them all a pleasant stay In the city. At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Selling moved that the convention adjourn till 2 o'clock, when the committee on creden tials would be ready to report. ADDRESS OF F. E. BEACH. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the con vention was again called to order by President Devers, who introduced F. E, Beach, president of the Board of Trade, as the first speaker. Mr. Beach then de Uvered the following address, which was heartily applauded: Mr. President and gentlemen of the Ore gon State Irrigation Convention: This convention has been called to take up and consider the question of Irrigation, as It is especially related to the State of Oregon. There is a broader phase to the irrigation question, international in Its Ecope, which knows no state lines. In which Oregon, is also Interested in connec tion with her sister states. But this con vention, as I understand It, Is to consider the problems as we And them within our own borders. And I have been asked to speak of the benefits to the trade and commerce of the state which will accrue from a well developed system of Irrigation for the arid districts. The benefits- to trade and commerce from a thorough sys tem of IrrlgfitUoC 'Wftleh wtlt mwkBthe large section of arid land within our state productive, are so self-evident that I do not feel "warrHnted la taking up Tnuett of the time of this convention, to review them at any considerable length. And I hesitated before consenting to speak on this phase of the question, as I appreciate that the two days' session as arranged would be all too short to do full justice to the question which its great Importance merits. FEW BUSINESS MEN. But when attention was called to the fact that there was a considerable num ber of our business men who had given but slight thought to the question, and did not realize the direct bearing which it had on the business interests of the state and while 1 am aware few, if any, of that class are members of this conven tion, it may be well for you, who have come to realise the importance of this work, to put forth a little educational effort among the class to whom I have referred, for. the averass .tjj?s iaase but little time to Inform himself on any question that MOes.not a nrstjBsem, to be a direct factor In his daily business, and as yet many merchants have not realized that the Irrigation question bears directly on buying and selling. In all lines of merchandise. When our merchants fully grasp the meaning of this irrigation problem, you will find them enthusiastic to a man, and every business man of the state will add his Influence, and will be ready to " co-operate and advance the good work. , . CENSUS REPORT . The last United States census report accredits to Oregon 17 counties as arid or semi-arid. And the same report recites that without irrigation this land is suitable only for grazing, but with irri gation it becomes highly productive. It also states there are numerous rivers and abundance of water, when properly stored, for a perfect Irrigating system. And there is no state In the Union that the direct Increase of wealth and popula tion will be greater from series of well developed Irrigation systems than In the State of Oregon. In some states almost the entire area is arid, and must depend entirely on Irrigation, while Oregon has a large district that Is highly productive without Irrigation. But this makes It of no less importance that the question of Irrigation for the arid section be given the attention that its great importance deserves. To save time I will not at tempt to go into figures, giving the num ber of acres requiring irrigation, or the population it will support when fully ir rigated, or the increased taxable wealth to the state. Other speakers will be giving these facts and they should be kept in mind whan considering the benefits to LAUD IFTIT Stole Last Night, in the Toils Today Confessed Guilt Fast Detective Work by Kerrigan and Snow. Last night the tailor shop of J. X. fcach. at 288 First street, was burglarised of some Clothing. Also a tailor shop at the National Hotel, and twelve pairs of pants front the Famous Clothing House, Detectives Kerrigan and Snow were put on the case this morning and shortly be fore noon came to the police station with the men and the stolen goods. They got a line on the .burglars through some transactions they had at some of the pawnshops and at second-hand stores in disposing of the goods. The offenders have confessed to all of the robberies. BOTH ARE YOUNO MEN. One of the offenders Is Robert Wolf, who resides with his parents at First and Hall streets. He is only 19 years of ape, and bas been at the reform Bchool. The other is Edward Jackson, who cams here last summer with the Wild West show, but was retained here owing to a petty laroeny job. As both boys are un der age they may escape the penitentiary and get oft with commitment to the re form school. The work or the detectives was the fastest on record. trade and COmmeWe. It nan been claimed that certain interests of the state are op posed to any system of Irrigation, but these interests are very smull in eomoari- son with the Vastly larger Interests of a mucn larger number. And as It has been said: "He who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is a oeneiactor," what words, can ex press" the beneficence" that makes produ tlve thousands acres, peopled by tens of thousand- of , prosperous American cit'l sens with, modern, comfortable homes, where only sage brush grew before, and the homes only -for jackrabbit and coyote. And I cannot class anyorfe as a loyal American cltlien who will ouoose anv general plan of Irrigation. 1 do not know what he would be. I think, however, he should be what Pat said he would be if he was not an Irishman. When Ques tioned on that ' point by his English neighbor,, and asked' what he would be If he was not imilrishman, his readv answer was: "Jam would I be, Jona than, If I was jTOr an Irishman? I would be ashamed of myself." And so I would say that any cltixen of Oregon that is not in favor, of the highest possible sys tem of Irrigation for the arid land of our state should 'be, ashamed of himself. And I think he has only to live long enough, and he win be. . " ATTITUDE 'pF "PORTLAND.' .' tatava.,ifeted.by.. sfMe,,jaastern Oregon delegates' what the attitude of the business men 'or Portland would be on this ueslosod-te-'What--extent -their Influence and cotOperatlon could be re lied upon to secure,,- for Oregon her Just share of benefits under the National irri gation act. At this time ,1 think no one is authorised ' to ahVtrer for our business men in general, except by influence. But I have had occasion to meet numbers of them, and I feel fully warranted in say ing that the business men of Portland can be relied upon to do their full share when the time comes. And Eastern Ore gon win And Portland ready to assist In securing for l.em an irrigation sys tem that shall eventually bring all East-, em and Southern Oregon to the highest state of productiveness, or any other measure that helps the development of any part of the state. I had occasion to visit the principle cities of Eastern 'Oregon a few months since, and I was surprised and delighted at the evidence, of prosperity which everywhere saw, and I have remarked on it frequently since. And I have found the business men were all Interested In the growth and development of Eastern Oregon. The same la true of Southern Oregon and of Astoria. Portland would like to see Astoria a large city and Salem one of the most beautiful cities on the Coast, with a class of,, public buildings of which every cltixen could be proud. This is digressing somewhat from the queiUoiuof irrigation, and is suggested ey tne tact tnat neretoioca it nas been understood that Irrigation was directly for -Eastern and Southern Oregon, And sa It Is. There is where the work will be done. The money expended where the population will be attracted, and where thousands of new homes will spring up, and the cities of Baker, La Grande, Pendleton. Prineville and all Eastern Oregon will feel a thrill of new life and new business, and while it Is a question of first importance to the arid counties, it is a good thing for the entire state, and Portland Is ready to help push It along. And we want the delegates from these counties to feel that we are Interested. That we wish them success and prosperity "In full measure, heaped up, shaken down, pressed together and running over, and In no other way will this prosperity come more quickly and be more permanent than through a well developed system of Irrigation.

Last Thanksgiving Day, during a prize fight at the Pavilion, Thomas O'Day lost a valuable diamond stud from his shirt bosom. The circumstances under which It disappeared cast suspicion upon Thom as, who was arrested at the ring side by Special Officer Coleman. The stone was found on the floor near him, where he had dropped It. He was tried for this rob bery, but the Jury disagreed and he was liberated. Later he Was again arrested Jar stealing a diamond from Dr. Card- well on a Fourth street tml". Tli? snnrk was found on his person when arrested.
