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

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.

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

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.

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."
