MonitxTHlilp of the National Irrigation CongrctM Will IK- Composed of at Least 2000 DUnu(o-Mayora of Small Towns Will Appoint I'lve Delegates, Governors; 15 Money In . Now Being IUIw.1 for Expense. The board of control of the National Irrigation congress has started work upon the plans for the fourteenth annual session of the congress, which Is to be held In this city from Sep tember 3 to 8, suys the Boise States man. The congress, from all Indica tions at the present time, Is to le one of the most successful In the history of the organization, nearly If not quite 2000 delegates being expected to be In attendance. The delegates to the congress will comprise some of the leading men of the United States, as well as some other countries, who are Interested In the reclamation and development of the arid sections of the continent as future homes for the congested popu lation of the great cities of the east. There will be practical farmers and horticulturists, as well as Irrigation experts from far and near, represen tatives from state agricultural Insti tutes and experiment stations, state engineers, government and other not ed foresters, railway managers, busi ness and commercial men In all branches of Industry, and state and national officers. Mmibn-Hltlp. The membership of the congress is to be composed of 15 delegates ap pointed by the governor of each state and territory, five delegates appointed by the mayor of every city or town having a population of 25.00 or less, and ifl delegates for each larger city, five delegates from every county, two delegates from every irrigation, agrl colwiral and horticultural society, so ciety of engineers and agricultural col lege, two from each commercial body, also the governor of every state, mem bers of the United States senate and house of representatives, and all the commissioners of agriculture or hor ticulture. Work Is now In progress on the preparation of the official call for the meeting of the congress, which Is ex pected to be promulgated within a short time. There are four principal purposes for which the congress was organised, or more correctly, there are four dif ferent avenues along which the con gress Is planned to work to promote the reclamation of the west. These are to save the forests, to store the floods, to reclaim the desert, and to provide homes on the land for the homeless. Wliat It Cost at "Ogden. The holding of the congress on such a scale as has been done in the past, and as It will be necexsary to do In Boise this year, will of course require considerable sums of money. In Og- den three years ago the citizens of that place, then smaller than Boise is today, raised a total itf over 121,000 which was spent In gathering a mag nificent display of the products of Ir rigation and the entertainment of the delegates, that they might leave that city with none but the warmest feel ings toward the city where the con ventlon was held. The local managers do not know what sum was spent at El Paso In 1904 or at Portland In 1905, but In neither city Is It behoved that the amount was lens than that raised at Ogden. At the Ogden congress, the display of fruits and grains and sugar beets alone cost the committee having the matter In charge over $5000, all the Irrigated states of the west being com petitors for the handsome silver lov ing cup that was offered as a prise by Senator W. A. Clork of Montana, who was then president of the congress, and which was awarded In the com petition to Iduho. WYOMING RANGE IS NARROWING Texas Cattle Going Itayonil and Far ther North. Shipping livestock from the ranges of Texas has begun and great num bers of cattle are coming north, says the Cheyenne Tribune. No- longer, however, are the railroads handling hundreds of trains of cattle for Wyo rning. as in former years, and owing to the narrowing range in Wyoming by reason of a great acreage having, been taken up for agricultural and Irrigation purposes, this year the bulk of the cattle Is going to the Indian reservation of South Dakota and Montana. But a few years ago hundreds of thousands of head of southern cattle each spring were shipped to Wyoming to be grazed on the open range dur ing the summer and sent to market In the fall, anfl the small shipment re ceived this year Indicates the great evolution this state has undergone. No longer thousands of square miles of open range exists as In the past and every year more fences are built and great tracts devoted to agricultu ral pursuits. Wyoming flockmasters and stock men are buying and leasing land until now practically the entire state Is con trolled by the residents of Wyoming and the free range Is now longer of i sufficient magnitude to Induce Pan handle stockmen to ship to Wyoming for their summer feeding. ' WmlYOOMnE SATISFIED. Defeated Candidate Says "Its the Fortune of War." Dr. James Wlthycombe, republican candidate for governor of Oregon, who was defeated by George B. Chamber 2100, almost 10 times the plurality by which Chamberlain defeated W. J. Furnish four years ago, tukes his de feat philosophically. In speaking of the result of the election to a Portland paper he bay: "It's a fortune of war, I guess. The administration of Governor Chamber lain has been satisfactory to the peo ple, and his popularity throughout the state was, no doubt, a strong factor In his election. To these two things, more than to anything else, I attrib ute my defeat. "I have no complaint to make. I was fulrly treated and have no feel ing whatever over the result, I want to expres.i my Blncere gratitude to those who N'.ipported me In all parts of the stale. "I believe principles are far above men, and as In the past I shall con tinue to bo a loyal advocate and sup porter of republican ldaes of govern ment. I think the general results of the election are very good. We will have as strong a legislature as we have ever had, made up of represen tative men. ."I think the election showed the complete success of the primary law and proved that It Is a desirable ad dition to our state laws."

WHEAT RATE LOWER OPEN RIVER ASSOCIATION CUT8 THE FREIGHT. New Crop Will Be Handled by the Association at IS Per Ton Again $5 Charged by the Railroads O. R. & N. Rate for Several Years Has Been But $3 From Kennewick, Wash. When the new wheat crop Is ready to move the Open River Transporta tion company will begin bringing the grain to tidewater from all points on the upper reaches of the Columbia river at IS a ton as against 15. the tariff charged by the Northern Pa cific tor hauling grain from Kenne wlek to Tacoma and Seattle, says th; Arlington dlBpatch. If the railroad company decides to meet the cut the open river people will put In force a still lower rate. Believing that the Hill Interests are contemplating such a move, the tariff sheet which Is being prepared by the steamboat concern will not be pub lished until later. Frank J. Smith, traffic manager of the company, says the printing of the folder Is being held back Just in order that It may be seen what steps the opposition In tends to take in the matter. In the event that the railroad offi cials meet are cut, Mr. Smith does not say Just how low the tarjff of his line will be placed, further than that It will below that of the opposition. The difference In the rates as they now stand will be the means of effect ing to the farmers a saving of six cents a bushel on all shipments they make by the water route to Portland. That will be sufficient to pay the transportation charges of the cereal to Europe, figuring on the ' present cost of tonnage. 0 It will also mean, according to those In a position to know, that the great bulk of the crop grown In territory tributary to the upper Columbia will be brought to Portland for exportation Instead of being sent to Puget Sound. For the past few years every bushel of wheat raised In the vicinity of Ken newlck. situated on the Northern Pa cific, was taken to the sound. As the company had no opposition, the rate was maintained, although in contigu ous Wn-ltnry, where the O. It. & N. corai'jny toorhed, the tariff was only 3. Cured Ili'iniiriluigew TT lire Tniigft.

Up to tho present time not a log has got below the boom at the mill. The company now has two large ponds for storing logs and will have 20,000.000 feet on hand shortly for the season's cut.

That the local option law now In force in Oregon Is satisfactory to the people, and thot It Is being used to a large extent by them Is rhown In last Monday's elections when eight coun ties In the state went "dry." And that the prohibition sentiment n the state is increasing. Is shown by the fact that but, four counties out of 12 in which a prohibition vote was taken, went "wet." The Oregonlan says of the local op tion elections: Eight counties In Oregon "went dry" In the election last Monday, so fur as returns are as yet available, and others are still to be heard from. The "dry" counties are: Benton, car hied by 170 votes; Sherman, by 17, JJnn, by 450; Lane, by 350; Yamhill, by 20; Coos, by 100; Tillamook, by 100; and Wallowa, by a small mar gin. Counties which rejected prohibition as a whole were Malheur, by a small plurality; Polk, by 269; Morrow, by 42; Wasco, by 150. By the terms of the local option law, under which the prohibition elections were held, a county which rejected prohibition as a whole receives prohibition in the precincts voting for it. A very active campaign for prohibi tion was waged in the foregoing coun ties, between the liquor forces on the one side and the prohibition forces on the other. Exact figures of the pluralities of Monday's election will not be secured until the official canvass ohall be made by the secretary of state on the returns from the several counties. These returns will not, however, change to any considerable degree the pluralities ns they are already estimated. INCREASE OF COTTON AREA. 2.2 Per Cent More Planted Tills Year Than Last. Jackson.

Chicago, June 8. Dr. Alexis Carrel 'and Dr. C. C. Guthrie, -who have for more than one year conducted a series of Important experiments at the Hull Physiological Laboratory connected with the University of Chicago. It Is believed that these experiments have demonstrated the possibility of substi tuting veins for arteries and chang ing the whole circulation of the human body. Diseases that have hitherto been in curable and others that have in gen eral beeit fatal n a large majority of caes, it is believed, may be cured by the reversal of the circulation of the blood. The experiments have, so far. been conducted on dogs, but they have now reached a stage where it Is thought that the snme tests may safely be tried on hnman beings. The dis coverers of this new method are con fident of success and believe that It will revolutionize surgery. Last year 3583 tramps were fed at the county home at Carlisle, Pa., the meals numbering 9333.

IT PAYS a ins tower. n Fir-iimile of Boi to buy MENNEN'S BORATED TAL CUM because of its perfection and purity. But it does not pay to sell MENNEN'S POWDER nearly as well, as it pays to aell an imperfect and impure substitute which, costing about half the cost of MEN NEN'S, yields the dealer double profit. The "just as good" with which some dealers try to palm off a substitute is true any way. If it s only " just as good " for the dealer why push the sale. If it's only "just as good" for the buver why risk an unknown preparation for MENNEN'S. There's nothing just as good as MEN NEN'S BORATED POWDER, and the dealer who says there is, risks his customer's skin and safety to make an extra profit on a sale.
