After having closed up affairs In
connection with the rational 4rrigution
connress, Montie R. Gwinn, 'chairman
of the exeetitlve committee which ar
ranged for the same, returned to Pen
dleton last night.
In preparing for a national gather
ing of such proportions as the irri
gation congress an Immense amount
of work naturally devolves upon those
who are in charge of the same, and
In both the preparatory work and
during the recent congress Mr. Clwinn
was the moving spirit. Much of the
success of the gathering Is attributed
to his efforts, but he says that he
feels fully repaid for his labor by tht
fact that the meeting was successful
end brought good to Idaho and the
northwest.
"The holding of the congress at
Poise will do that place and this en
tire section good for many years to
come," declared he this morning.
Columns have been published In,
eastern papers regarding the Irilga
uon sections or me northwest, ano
through the congress hundreds of In
fluential people from all over th
country learned of what is being
done. From Vice President Fairbanks
down those who attended the con
gress were pleased with what they
saw and said so emphatically."
To meet the expenses of the con
gress a fund of $13,000 was neces.
sary. and of this amount J7000 was
raised by the people of Boise. How
ever, the congress was of much bene
tit to that city that the mcney sub
scribed was a highly paying invest
ment.
On his return from Boise Mr.
Gwinn was accompanied by Mrs
Gwlnn. and they will now make their
home here. During the winter thev

Practical .Toko PliiytM by Nurse at St,
Anthony's Hospital.
That life In a hospital is not al
ways the gloomy and humdrum exist
ence that It Is often pictured Is shown
by an amusing Incident which look
place at St. Anthony's hospital in
this city Saturday.
Mrs. W. H. Fowler, with her week
old son Is still confined to her room In
the hospital and next door is another
mother with a little daughter about
the age. Sister Bocarlo. the nurse
for both mothers, conceived a prac
tical Joke which caused consternation
In the Fowler room for a few mo
ments, when It was discovered.
On a pretext of showing the Fow
ler boy baby to the mother in the next
room. Sister Bocarlo took the little
bundle away from Its mother and car
ried It Into the next room where It
was properly Inspected and a bundle
of blankets about the same size re
turned to Mrs. Fowler in due season.
Mrs. Fowler cuddled her son, as she
supposed, and when he squirmed a
few moments later, permitted him to
take nourishment and after bestowing
a few fervent kisses upon his brow.
which is the perfect Image of h's
father's, saw him go sweetly to sleep
In her fond arms.
For a few moments Mrs. Fowler
gazed proudly at Harry, Jr., and pic
tured to herself his future, when to
her horror she discovered that her
baby wore clothing entirely strange to
her and a closer Investlagtlon proved
that she was not holding her own son.
but a horrid girl baby, and she Im
mediately forgot her weakness and,
sitting upright, screamed for the nurse
who was stationed In the hallway
nearby watching for developments.
For a few seconds visions of a kid
naped baby and a wicked nurse
flashed through the mind of the
mother, but she wa made happy by
the return of her son who, all this
time, had been faring well in the arms
of the mother In the next room.
It Is needless to say that no "swap,
ping" will be accomplished In those
two rooms again, if watchfulness on
part of two mothers will prevent It.
WATER GAUGE OUT OF ORDER.
FUNERAL OF MRS. M I.Al GHMV.
At the Baptist Church, AttciuhM by

At i.Z'i yesterday afternoon the

lMd Not Register tlie- Actual Content
of the Reservoir.
For sevtral days past the water
gauge in the city reservoir has Indi
cated that the water was getting low'i
and is a result the pumping plant has
been kept h'ird at work In a vain
endeavor to raise the gauge. How
ever, this morning the mystery was
solved when, at the instance of Su
perintendent Sutherland, Len Sharon
ascended the hill to Investigate.
Upon reaching the reservoir Mr.
Sharon found that the gauge had beev
subjected to a bombardment at the
hands of parties or party unknown
and that several holes had been shot
In the tin float with a rifle. As a re
sult the eauire had sunk several feet
Into the water and thereby gave a
false signal to the water superinten

western Crook county to enter th
home mission work of the Presbyterl- I
an church In that field, enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only man In the
United States to apply for that Inhos
pitable and uninviting field, although
there are many home mission workers
available for vacant fields at all times.
The story Is worth repeating. It Is
an exhibition of western pluck which
Is always commendable, and which Is
especially admired In this western
country.
A few weeks ago Rev. W. S. Holt,
synodical missionary for the state ot
Oregon for the Presbyterian church,
mote a letter to the Interior, a church
paper published in Ch'cago, describ
ing the field In western Crook coun
ty In which a home mission minister
was sorely needed.
He told the truth about the country
In every detail. It was without rail
roads, churches, hotels or suitable
places in which to hold meetings. It
Is necessary for the preacher to travel
hundreds of miles on horseback from
settlement to settlement, fording
swollen streams In the spring and
fall, traveling over the desert without
roads or trails, camping In sheepherd
ers' cabins and on cow ranches and
living with the rugged frontiersmen
of that last desert district of central
Oregon.
There are few church members and
many saloons and a large proportion
of the people are either Indifferent or
are openly opposed to churches and
church work.
Lllley read this letter while he was
working as home missionary among
the Italian coal miners in southern
Colorado. For five years he had
worked in that field, where for five
year 8 he had not seen another Pres
byterian. The miners were either
Catholics, or had no church affllla.
Hons. The letter from Mr. Holt de
scribing this new and Inhospitable
field In Oregon attracted him, and he
applied for it. He was the only man
to make application for this Crook
county field, out of the thousands who
read the letter.
Yesterday he arrived In Pendleton
on hiB way to Prinevllle, from where
he will go Into the heart of Crook
county south of Prinevllle and take
up his work. He Is an old seminary
school mate of Rev. W. L. Van Nuys
of this city, and was the guest at the
home of Mr. Van Nuys while In the
city.
