Maxwell on Irrigation.
"When the projects now contemplated
and for which partial provision Is made
have been carried out," declared George
H. Maxwell before the Commercial Con
gress, "this nation will have achieved
what will palo- into insignificance the
Works of irrigation of Egypt along the
Nile, or the results accomplished by
England in India."
It was a picture to appeal to the im
agination that Mr. Maxwell drew. It
was an eloquent product of oratory he
gave tne Congress. It was a strong ap
peal that ho made to the country at
large, and a masterful presentation of
the subject of which ha is, probably, the
most' distinguished, exponent in the
United States.
Mr. Maxwell, who is tho executive
chairman of tha National Irrigation
Congress, is to speak in Portland on
Monday evening, probably in the rooms
of the Board of Trade. In the Chamber
of Commerce Building. Max Shlllock,
Secretary of tho Board of Trade, who
was here with the Oregon delegation,
returned home to make final arrange
ments for the. appearance of Mr. Maxwell.
Portland) Uheald Kaar Xlm.
Portlanders should hear George Max
well. He Is a speak of strength. His
diction la elegant, his style of oratory
attractive, and his personality auch as
to win- an audience. But, chiefly, Mr.
Maxwell's presentation of the great
theme to which he devotes his life is
masterful and convincing, logical and
practical. He will, charm his hearers,
and he will send th.e Irrigation move
ment forward.
His address ? before the Commercial

subject than were aome of the othera
of theirs.- Ho covers It broadly, dealing
with tha fundamental principles, and
outlines a course of procedure whereun

The question precipitated a furious de
bate, the congress being divided Into
two bodies, ' on side objecting to svon
considering the question in any form,
because it was political in character.
The Missouri delegation led the oppo
sltlon and was followed by numerous
other delegations. The matter as
sumed so significant a phase when noon
arrived without a conclusion being
reached, that the congress adjourned to
1:30 p. in., when the debate was again
resumed. The Alaska delegates were
also divided on the question asking for
territorial rights for that country, anmi
believing It not expedient at this tims
to be formed into a territory.
