A lively contest has been started In the National Irrigation congress by Zera Snow of Portland, who has Introduced a resolution asking the federal congress to amend the pres ent irrigation law so as to remove the restriction that now limits to 160 acres the amount of land that may be held by any one land owner in a tract reclaimed by the government says the Oregon Pally Journal. Mr. Snow's resolution Is as follows: "Whereas, By the terms of the leg islation of congress, providing for the construction of irrigation works In the states and territories, it is provided that " 'No right to the use of water for land in private ownership shall be sold for a tract exceeding 180 acres of any one land owner'; and ''Whereas, at the lime of the enact ment of the law in question, titles to Irrlglble lands in excess of the maxi mum acreage to which the right Is limited has been acquired by many settlers: and "Whereas, the officers of the recla million service of the United States have Imposed regulations requiring land owners to submit to an enforced sale of such excess area before such land owners are permitted to par ticipate In the benefits from the pro posed Irrigation system; and VWhereas, there is no law prohib iting the acquisition by any one land owner of lands in excess of 160 acres, after water rights thereto have been attached, thus rendering the restric tion unavailable for the purpose for which It was Intended, and, if such legislation were legally possible, it of doubtful wisdom; therefore, he It "Resolved, by the National Irriga tion congress In convention assem bled, that the best Interests of the public and of the reclamation service demand repeal of the restriction Im posed by the act of June 17, 1D02, prohibiting the acquisition of water rights to more than 160 acres by any one land owner. In so far as the same applies to land owners and claimants whose rights and titles had been ac quired at the time of the passage of the act. "Resolved that copies of this reso lution be sent to the senators and representatives of Arizona, CallTor nla.Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mon tana. Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico. Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, with a request for their cooperation In procuring Its acceptance by the federal government." Newell Opposen Change. Frederick H. Newell, chief of the reclamation service, is here to repre sent the administration at Washing ton, and is defending the present law. He stated to day that the federal gov ernment probably will not modify the present law, but will insist upon the Public Service Help a Woman to be Hetter. . Mrs. Adella B. Scott of Idaho says politics does not detract from the the home-loving- qualities of a wo man but rather adds to them. Mrs. Scott hus held many positions and has" been benefitted by her experi ence. "A woman can be a better mother for being In politics. Woman's at tention to politics does not mean wo man's neglect of home. Politics is a school an education ot a woman." That Is the opinion of Mrs. Adella B. Scott, official hostess of the Idaho building at the fair, and she Is com petent to speak, says the Podtland Journal. Mrs. Scott is perhaps the most prominent woman in Idaho and her political record Is enough to place her in the front ranks of the women of the country. She was the first woman In Idaho elected to office out side of the educational department and was on the Idaho Falls school board eight years, and whs clerk five years. For two years she was justice of the peace, so some people call her Judge. She declined a leiiomlnatlon but whs soon after appointed by the county commissioners to the position a full-fledged minister of the church. The Taylor Hardware Co 8UCCE8SOR TO T. 0.

Wilbur Colored, De McrtM the Ministry for a Kuvago Trllie in Africa Sliwt Remarkable Case of AnHuering the Cull of tlte Wild on Record Wan Highly Ed uctalcd and Followed Ieeluriiig for Several Yeurs. The Rev. Daniel Fllckinger Wll berforce has answered the Inst call of the wild In the for "s of West Afri ca, where he was born a savage, later removed to America and edu cated as a Christian misslouury, only to return to his native country to re sume a life of heathenism and be come a chief of the Devil Worship ers. Private advices received at Hunt ington. Ind., In a private letter from Missionary Stullts. at Freeton, West Africa, stale lhat Dr. Wllberforce ded In the tribal settlement- of the natives; but the date and circum stances of his end are not revealed. The story of Wllberforce offers a rare opportunity for the study of psy tology. Forty-five years ago the Rev. Daniel Fllckinger, missionary of the United Brethren " In Christ, was in Africa on a missionar errand when a little negro boy was born and he was asked to name him. He suggested the name of Daniel Fllckinger Wll berforce, and at the same time pray ed that the youngster would grow up with some of the religious spirit that animated the famous Bishop Wllber- lorce. Twelve years later Dr. Fllckinger ran across this very same negro boy In New York where he was brought by a missionary to be educated, but was cast adrift soon after his arrival, through the death of this missionary. From that day Mr. Fllckinger un dertook to educate the boy. He sent him to public schools at Dayton, Ohio, and later to Wllberforce Uni versity, from which institution he left she hail refused to compete for. Then when the police Judge's chair became empty she was asked by the mayor to sit there, and Inst fall she was elected county treasurer of Bing ham County. But' through It all she has kept her head and she says that her political experience has benefited her. "Of course," she says, "I have felt a great responsibility, sometimes In A year later the young negro mar ried a respected negress of Dayton, by whom he had four children. Two sons are being educated at Ottenbein University in Ohio. They are excep tionally bright boys. Taking his two daughters nnd wife the young black minister returned to Africa to do missionary work among the natives. He achieved great suc cess at first and made many con- holding office, for 1 knew that I owed I verts, although many uboriglnes did a duty to those who had enough con fidence In me to elect me. But I know it has done me much good und given me u brouder view of life. "A woman should study politics more than she ordinarily does. She. ought to know the government under which she is ruled and woman suf frage obliges her to study It. I knew very little about political subjects for merly, but when I became Interested In equal suffrage I' studied them. "My father was a democrat, and so I had always called myself one, but when I studied the platforms the republican appealed to me as being better and I have since been one. My father used to say to me that asnn or daughter need not be u hornet hlef because the father was. But that does not mean that my father was a horethler, or that democrats ure, either." Mrs. Scott is a delightful woman, and all who know her In the Idaho building nre charmed with her manner. THE COST OE SALOONS. Seven Thousand Dollar Saved to the IVople by Closing Beer Halls One Sunday. The following letter written to the Kansas City Star, states clearly the enormous cost of Intemperance, from a financial standpoint: To the Star: In St. Louis this week an attorney clow to the liquor Inter ests told me that Busch says the "lid on" In St. Louis Is costing him over $7000 every Sunday. If that Is the cost to one brewery In one city, what must be the saving In the entire state to the people, and how much must It mean to people In legitimate lines of trade? This money is, of course, ac tually saved, for the Sunday demand, not being then supplied, cannot be supplied another day, for that demand has died and Governor Folk is cer tainly entitled to great credit.

It shows the business blocks, state, city and county institutions, tintatorlum. library and other build ings, besides residences, farm scenes and mining attractions and is a valu able piece of advertising for the city. not take kindly to his efforts. He re turned to Amerlci for a lecture tour In behalf of the missions, and after collecting funds resumed his duties among the Africans. It was then that the call of the wild came to him as it did to the dog hero of Jack London's book. It was subtle calling him back to heathen ism. He was Invited because of his position by birth to become chief of the tribe of Devil Worshipers. He yielded, cast off the obligations .of Christianity and led their war dances and fetish practices. When the missionary board of the United Brethren In Christ Church heard of the missionary's desertion he was dropped from the rolls of the church and pronounced a religious outcast. But Wllberforce was far from the reach of letters of excommunication, and. perhaps, never heard of the hoard's action. He took five wives and soon be came us savage as the wildest native. He had answered the call of that wild nature that was Inborn and which neither religion nor education nor the refinements of culture could over come. And as such he died. RECLAIM MOKE LAND. Tract or 12.000 Acres to lie Irrigated III Idaho. Pat Gallagher of Pocatello. who came to Boise to attend the wedding of his brother, Mervln Oallagher. and Miss Grace Lindsay, says hopes are now entertained that a tract of about 12,000 acres of land adjacent to Po catello will be put under water In a short time, says the Boise States man. There are two plans under consid eration. One contemplates the con struction of a 50-mile canal from the Snake river. The other has In view the utilization of the government's Blackfoot river reservoir site and the building of about .IB miles of canal. "The construction of either system would mean a great deal to Pocatel lo," said Mr. Gallagher. "The Gate City has long suffered because It had no agricultural country around it. With 12,000 acres of land under cul tivation the city would be given an additional resource of the highest value that, coupled with the railroad, mining and stock interests, would cause It to Increase rapidly In popu lation and valuation."
