BEST IMMIGRANTS
COME EROM EAST
Contentlonjof Colonel Irish Before
Irrigation Congress.
Californian Declares That the Immi
gration of Today Is Not Patriotic,
but Parasitic Would Close Gates
Tight and Give Young Americans
a Chance.
Boise, Sept. 5. Vice President L.
V. Bhurtliffe, of Ogden, presided at
the opening of this morning's session
of the National irrigation congress,
Senator Carter having returned to
Montana. Govern r Albert . Mead,
of Washington, later was called to the
chair and Governor Chamberlain, of
Oregon, presided a part of the day.
William K. McAllister, of Denver,
the first speaker, dealt with the immi
gration question and raised issues that
involved the congress in most earnest
discussion. The Coloradoan advocated
foreign immigration, and as a model to
be followed urged the methods of the
Mormon church in settling the valleys
of Utah and adjoining states. Under
'the methods of the Mormon church
these immigrants had been drawn from
the agricultural classes of Northern
Kurope, from the best of the hard work
ing peasants.
Hon. John P. Irish, of California,
asked the congress if it would not be
better to close the country's gates to
the more than 1,000,000 of foreign im
migrants who were coming annually
and give the youth of our own land a
higher opportunity. The Californian
declared that the immigration today
was not a patriotic immigration, but a
parasitic immigration
C. W. Mott, of St. Paul, general im
migration agent of the Northern Pacific
railroad, agreed with Colonel Irish. He
eaid the Northern Pacific's success in
peopling the territory traversed by
their lines had been in the Eastern
states, not in foreign lands. The kind
of immigration wanted had been found
in the Eastern states, and 75,000 of
these, nearly all American citizens,
had been settled in the Northwest dur
ing the past year. The lawless immi
gration from even Europe, he believed,
was not wanted. .
W. Rei'lt, a foreign born delegate
from Oregon, praiBcd the foreign immi
grant, who was needed in the upbuild
ing of the country. The trouble with
Americans, lie mid, was that they were
all looking for "soft jobs."
PEACE MOVEMENT STARTED.
All Parties Holding Conferences With
View to Ending Revolt.
Havana, Sept. 6. Peace is in the
air, and on all sides tonight there is
hope that matters will be arranged be
tween the government and the insur
gents so as to avoid further bloodshed.
However, there has been no tangible
advance toward an agreement or to a
definite arrangement for negotiations.
In the meautime, fighting has been
practically suspended. Delegates, in
formally chosen by a small group of
veterans started today to the camps of
Pino Guerrera, Colonel Asert, General
Guzman and others of the insurgent
leaders with the purpose of learning
what will be acceptable to the actual
fighting leaders of the revolution. A
similar committee started for Cienfue
gos to consult, under a flag of truce,
with the insurgent leaders in Santa
Clara province.
Late this afternoon General Menocal,
General Cehreco an! other veterans
held a conference with Alfredo Z?yas,
the leader of the Liberal party, which,
however, did not result in reaching any
understanding. At the same time the
executive committee of the Moderate
party was holding a conference at
which the subject of peace was excited
ly discussed, although no determina
tion was reached.
Fighting Ancient War.
Madrid, Sept. 6. The newspaper
Espana Nueva, in the course of a fresh
attack today on the conduct of the
Spanish-American war, states that Gen
eral Linares, the Spanish commander
at Santiago, asked Admiral Cervera to
land a few guns to supplement the in
adequate defenses at the Morro Castle
and La Socapa. The admiral sent two
t,un! but General Linares did not at
tempt to mount these guns until the
eortie of Admiral Cervera's squadron,
when he found the breech locks had
been lost
Igorrote Hunt Indicted.
Memphis, Sept . Two indictments
have leen returned against Dr. T. K.
Hunt on the testimony of Feola and
Deneay, two full blooded Igortotes,
members of the band which visited the
city some time ago, charging "larceny"
and "larceny from the person," which
are felonies under the state laws. Dr.
Hunt has been arrested in Chicago and
will be bronnrht back to Memphis to
etand trial. He was in charge of the
band of Igorrotes a year ago.
Train Wrecked by Dynamite.
Iron wood, Mich., Sept. 6. A dyna
mite outrage, resulting in the wreck of
a Wieconsin Central ore train, occurred
here yesterday The engineer and fire
man bad close calls from death. The
dynamite had been placed on the tracks
with the intention of wrecking a pas
senger train.
EXPOSES LAND FRAUD.
Puter Implicates Hermann, Mitchell,
Williamson and Others.
Portland, Sept. 7. Stephen A.
Douglas Pater, whose connection with
the Oregon land-fraud scandals is no
torious and who for many years lived
by his wits and his knoweledge of
methods of defrauding the Federal gov
ernment by corrupt practices in the
United States land offices, took the
stand as a witness for the proseuction
in the Blue Mountain conspiracy case
yesterday and laid bare his entire con
nection with that and other plots, suc
cessful and unsuccessful, to rob the
United States of its lands.
By his testimony he implicated, not
only in the Blue Mountain case, bat in
others similar, some of the most prom
inent politicians and public men of the
stave of Oregon, and furnished to the
last and strongest link in the chain of
evidence against Franklin Pierce Mays,
Willard N. Jones, George Sorenson, ex
Commissioner of the General Land
Office Hermann, ex-Congressman Wil
liamson and the late Senator Mitchell,
against vbom the indictment in the
case now on trial was returned.
In his story, complete as to names,
dates and circumstances, he' revealed
with remorseless candor revolting se
crets as to the operations of the land
fraud ring, of which he was a member,
showing the actual partnership of the
high officials mentioned, and others of
scarcely less social and political promi
nence, in the operations of the ring and
iheir participation in the profits.
CHAMBERLAIN IS CHOSEN.
National Irrigation Congress Elects
Him President and Adjourns.
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 6. The Four
teenth National Irrigation congress
closed its sessions thia evening after
voting to bold the next congress at Sac
ramento, Cal.. and electing as presi
dent of the Fifteenth congress Gover
nor Georee E. Chamberlain, of Oregon.
The enthusiasm of the Californians
over Sacramento's victory was the more
pronounced because of the narrow mar
gin by which the victory was won. The
attractions of the Jamestown exposition
had been cleverly presented, and on
the firBt ballot for the convention city,
Jamestown was in the lead. Sacra
mento won on the second ballot, with
207. Jamestown received 155 votes.
Oregon adopted the unit rule early and
at an early morning caucus oeciaea
upon Sacramento as the convention city
for 1907.
The other officers elected are: First
vice president, John Henry Smith, Salt
Lake City; second vice president, H.
H. Maxson, Keno, Nev.; third vice
nresident. George W. Barstow, Texas;
secretary, D. H. Anderson, Cicago.
ALL PANIC AT SEVASTOPOL.
Commander Cannot I rust Men and
Officers Threaten Terrorists.
Sevastopol, Sept. 6. In answer to
the publication of a notice from the
terrorists that a sentence of death had
been imDOS. d on Colonel Dumbadze,
commander of a rifle regiment here,
the officers of that corps in an open let
ter have announced that in case of an
attack on the colonel they will exact
vengeance on the leaders of the progres
sive parties.
Admiral Skrvdloff. commander of
the Black sea fleet, and the military
commander here are very apprehensive
regarding the attitude of the sailors cf
the fleet and the garrison of the fort
ress. The cruise of the training squad
ron as well as the regular fleet maneu
vers have been postponed, the ships
scarcely venturing beyond the range of
the guns of the fortress.
The militarv patrols of the city have
been withdrawn inside the walls of
the fort, due, it is said, to the fear that
the soldiers will be corrupted by con
tact with the niasBes.
The merchants of this city have prac
tically been thrown on their own re
sources in the matter of protection
from lawlessness, ine governor, ai a
recent meeting, advised them to organ
ic their own truard. as soldiers could
no longer be spared f r police duty and
the municipality is bankrupt.
Will Brine Stensland Back.
Chicago, Sept. 7. State's Attorney
Healy today received a message from
Assistant State's Attorney Olsen, who
is now in Tangier, with Paul O. Stens
land, the fngetive banker, asking that
he anl James Keeley, managing editor
of the Chicago Tribune, who made the
arrest, be appointed to bring him back.
On receiving the telegram, Assistant
State's Attorney Barbour wired to Gov
ernor Dineen at Springfield, and the
governor has made a written request to
President RooBevelt that Olsen and
Keeley be delegated to bring him back.
American Flag as Protection.
Tampa, Fla., Sept. 7. General Ace
veda, a Cuban military officer, has ar
rived here on a government miesion to
ascertain the real attitude of Cubans in
Tampa regarding the Cuban revolution.
Two firms in Tampa have about 40,000
head of cattle on Cuban ranges, which
are valued at $500,000. One firm pur
chased large numbers of American flags
and displayed them about its Cuban
ranges, hoping thus to prevent depre
dations on property.
Will Work for Joint Statehood.
Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 7. The
Republican Territorial committee this
afternoon indorsed the Hamilton joint
statehood act by a vote of 35 to 10 and
appointed a subcommittee of five to
work with a like committee from the
Democrats. It in probable that the op
position to statehood will fight indorse
ment in the convention, which will be
, held in Las Vegas September 29.
WATER CONGRESS
MEETS AT BOISE
Delegates Come From Half the States
in the Union.
Vice President Fairbanks is the Guest
of Honor Fourteenth Session of
National Irrigation Association Is
by Far the Most Interesting and
Successful Ever Held.
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 8. Boise is fill
ed with people and filled with enthu
siasm. The city gates have been
thrown open and hosts of visitors from
all parts of the West have poured in by
the trainload to attend the 14th annual
session of the National Irrigation con
gress and have a good time. Notwith
standing the big crowd, the biggest
Boise ever saw, the citizens are happy,
for their congress bids fair to be the
most successful ever held.
The first day of the congress passed off
according to schedule. Speeches, nu
merous but brief, all dealt with the
subject uppermost in the minds of the
people irrigation and home building
in the arid West. President Roose
velt's letter, read by Gifford Pinchot,
was the keynote, and the talk of Vice
President Fairbanks followed along the
lines of that letter.
Fairbanks was the star attraction at
the congress. He was greeted by hun
dreds prior to and after the meetings,
and at the public reception tonight was
tendered a typical Western welcome.
His speech this morning made a decid
ed hit, demonstrating to the congress
that the vice president, like the presi
dent, had given an ear to the demands
oi the people of the West and stands
ready to lend them a helping hand at
every turn.
It is the intention of a certain ele
ment to push the (100.000,000 idea at
the subsequent sessions of the congress.
Fred J. Keieel, of Salt Lake, is the
principal promoter of this idea, but
there is little liklihood the congress
will support him. President RooBevelt
in his letter very clearly expresses his
disapproval of the scheme, stating in
plain language that there must be no
direct appropriation for the construc
tion of government irrigation works
until the preeent national irrigation
law has been proveii a success and
money invested has been returned to
the Federal treasury.
GREAT FLEET IN REVIEW.
President Roosevelt Sees America's
Naval Strength.
Oys'er Bay, Sept. 4. Under skies
that broke brilliantly blue before a
whistlim? westerly wind which swept
down Long Island eound and blew out
to sea the Bullen clouda and tempestu
ous rains wihcb threatened immeasura
bly to mar the spectacle, President
Roosevelt yesterday, within hailing
distance of his summer home, reviewed
the most magnificent naval fleet ever
assembled under the American flag.
Forty-five of the most Eplendid types oi
fighting vessels afloat lay at anchor in
three long columns as the naval yacht
Mayflower, which just a year ago was
written into history as the meeting
eround of Russia and Japan, passed up
an! down the lines, the president an
applauding spectator on the bridge.
The Mayflower's journey was made
amid a continuous boorn of saluting
cannons, and gun atfer gun spoke the
navy s honor to the commander in chiri
of all America's military forces.
The 45 vessels are all within ranee
of Sagamore and could train 1,178 guns
on the eummer residence of the presi
dent. Indeed, tbev roared out to him
a tremendous Ealute as he came ammg
them on the Mayflower and last night
they painted the hieroglyphics of peace
on the sky with their searchlights for
his edification.
The lliet reviewed by the president
consisted of 12 battleships, four ar
mored cruisers, five monitors and un
protected cruisers, six torpedo boat de
stroyers, six torpedo boats and two
submarine boats.
Rebels Search All Trains.
Havana, Sept. 4. The Cuban Cen
tral Railway company today made pub
lic announcement that it would no
longer accept freight or merchandise
for transfer over its lines exept at own
er's riek. It is stated that this is nec
essary because nearly all of its trains
are held up and their cargoes inspected
by armed bands of insurgents. Late
tonight the government learned that
400 insurgents had entered the town
of Calabazar, in Santa Clara province,
had confiscated a quantity of arms and
taken many head of horses.
Plotting Against Mexico.
Tnscon, Ariz , Sept. 4. Collis Hum
bert, a Frenchman, and Leonardo Vil
lareat and Bruno Trevino, Mexicans,
were arrested early today at Mowry and
Pitagonia, mining camp. whee many
miners are employed. The arrests were
made by Immigration Inspector Mur
phy and Rangers Olds and Clark. It
is charged that the men are agitators
who are attempting to organize a f irru
of Mexican miners to attack Nogales,
Sonora.
No Hope for 4he Sheridan.
Washington, Sept. 4. D.spatches re
ceived today at the War department
from Honolulu indicate that the trans,
port Sheridan cannot be raved. She is
nearly filled with water and her engines
are flooded and useless.
PINCHOT ON FOREST RESERVES
Chief Forester Explains to Irrigation
ists Government's Scheme.
Boise, Sept. 4. The policy of with
drawing vast areas of the public domain
from entry under the land laws in order
to create fo-est reserves or conterve the
water supply for purpose of irrigation,
which has been vigorously opposed by
influential interests in the West, had
its defenders and opponents at tonight's
session of the National Irrigation con
gress. United States Senator Carter, of
Montana, the presiding officer, gave a
brief outline of the legislation enacted
by congress giving to the president of
the United States the extraordinary
authority to exercise his discretion in
setting apart such reservations. He
made the declaration that it could be
set down as the definite purpose of the
national congress not only to stop fur
ther destruction of the forests, but to
set aside reserveson which new timber
may grow and where the headwaters of
the streams may be conserved.
Mr. Pinchot stated that the policy of
President Roosevelt was "to give every
part of the public lands their very best
use." The problem he eaid, was one
of the most difficult, and one in which
the forest service "had made lots of
mistakes." Piobably it would contin
ue to make mistakes, he said, but the
effort was to study, in connection with
the people, the question of method by
which all parts of the public reserve
can be put to the best use. These re
serves to a certain extent control the
stock business of the West, he Baid, for
the chief summer range is in the re-
. . 11 A 1
serve. The stockmen coma not. oe
kept off entirely at the demand of the
irrigationists, nor could the service
let them have free run of the reserves.
"So you see," said Mr. Pinchot,
"that the forester stands in the middle
and he gets it coming and going."
The epeaker stated that some reserves
were practically without trees and one
in Kansas was without a single tree
facts which had been the subject of
much criticism but it was the purpose
to put trees there and to restore the
grass on the range. The service, he
said, had the biggest job of tree plant
ing on the face of the earth.
Mr. Pinchot gave the number of
rangers in the service as 1,187 and the
supervisors as numbering 105. Under
the laws of Prussia, he said, the same
reserves would be controlled by 110,000
rangers and 12,000 supervisors.
Sanator Heyburn was called to the
platform and immediately launched in
to a bitter attack on the administra
tion's forestry policy. Some of the
delegates were with Heyburn; a far
larger element stood by Roosevelt and
Piucho. Once, when Heyburn male a
particularly unjust criticism of the
president, he was hissed from all parts
of the convention hall and forced to
Buspend.
When the hissing began to subside,
Heyburn, mad through and through,
and waving his arms furiously, roared
at the audience:
"Hiss, you geese, hiss."
The hissing was renewed, and when
it had again subsided, Heyburn
shouted:
"Don't try that on me, I am too old
a stager to be scared. You will listen
to what say."
REVOLUTION CONTINUES.
Two Thirds of People Said to Sym
pathize With Insurgents.
Havana, Sept. 5. As days and weeks
pass with no appreciable diminution of
the revolution, apprehension increases.
The most conservative testimony from
the country district of the province of
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Santa Clara
is to the effect that two-thirds of the
people in the country and small towns
of these three provinces are insurgents
in sentiment if not in fact. It is gen
erally believed that the government ul
timately will subdue the insurrection,
but in the meantime the crops cannot
be developpd, and it is a grave question
whether the rebellious spirit even then
can be actually quelled to the ex'ent of
restoring the country to a normal eelf
governing status.
A realization of this is the cause oi
the renewal of efforts for the restora
tion of peace. General Mario Menocal,
whom the people trust as one capable
of bringing the warring factions to
gether, if such a thing is possible, came
to Havana today and held two confer
ences with President Palma. General
Menocal after the conference absolutely
refused to make any statement.
Root at Valparaiso.
Valparaiso, Sept. 5. Elihu Root,
secretary ol state of the United States,
and his family, accompanie 1 by Senor
Heuneos, the Chilean minister of for
eign affairs, and Mr. Hicks, the Ameri
can minister to Chile, arrived here by
special train this afternoon. T.kir.g

vastated by the recent earthquake.
Arriving at the wharf the party pro

Bauer to Beat Down Revolt.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 5. The situa
tion in the Shusha Javenshir and
other districts of Southeastern Cauca
sus, where Tartar-Armenian hostilities
are in full sway, have grown so serious
that the viceroy has snsperseded Gene
ral Golochtkapoff, governor general of
Etizabethpol province, by (tjneral

that of General Alikhanoff in connec
tion with the strong methods by which
order was restored in the Caucasus.

Santiago de Chile. Sept. 5. The
government of Braiil has appropriated
1300.000 toward the fund for the relief
of the Chilean earthquake sufferers.
A Little Lesson
In Patriotism
"Let our object be our country, our
whole country, and nothing but our
country." Daniel Webster.
With the name of William Lloyd
Garrison and John Brown must be re
called the name of Gerrlt Smith. He
was one of the most
ardent supporters
of the Anti-Slavery
Society, not only
writing for the
cause and contrib
uting time and
money, but taking
part In all its con
ventions and per
sonally assisting
the fugitives. He
was temperate In
all the discussions,
holding that the
OERBIT SMITH. North was fl
ner In the guilt of the crime of slavery
and that In the event of emancipation
without war the North should bear a
portion of the expense.
The attempt to force slavery on Kan
sas convinced him, however, that the
day for considering peaceful emanci
pation was past. He then advocated
whatever measure of force might be
necessary.
He gave large sums of money to free
soil settlers to Kansas. He was charg
ed with being an accessory to the af
fair at Harper's Ferry, but It was
shown that he had given money to
Brown only, as he did to scores of
other men In the cause, and that as
far as he knew Brown's scheme tried
to discourage him from It.
It Is characteristic of Smith that he
should have been one of the three sign
ers of the hall-bond of Jefferson Davis.
He wa9 a man to whom the welfare of
the whole country was dear and who
did his best to aid the cause of human
ity. During his lifetime he gave away
to philanthropic and humanitarian en
terprises $8.000,000. Chicago Journal.

toil Stale government up t: a standard
which places ;t on a par with the best
polW forces in the country.
In a country where men vote mid
have a voice in the choice of their rul
ers, there is less of political crime
agalnt the state than In European
countries, where men lire drawl from
home and fireside and omrincl to thin-
Cf.ins for years to expiate- crimes that
are considered ns nothing on this side
of the water. For instance, a tSernmn
paper that came to the newspaper of
fices on this side less than a month
ago contaiinil a long account about a
tlermnn w h was sentenced to six
months In a military prison because he
drew a picture of hi EmjH'ror lying In
lwd snoring. I'nder the picture was the
caption. "Wake up to the needs of your
people, oil, sleepy head."
This picture was found pasted on a
dead wall in a small city and the se
cret service bureau spent some time In
tracing the crime to ttie perpetrator.
Happily the secret service In this coun
try Is not called upon to trace the au
thorship of cartoons against the Presi
dent. If it were, its force would have
little time to do anything else.
The secret service through its chief
keeps In touch with ttie big police sys
tems of other countries and in that way
is able to fid low the movements of s
called dangerous Anarchists who may
tip sent to tills country to take the life
of the President. The currency of the
country Is guarded against counterfeit

service proves Its value every day.

"I beg your pardon," said be to n
pedestrian who was giving a life-size
demonstration of a New Yorker wh-
had an engagement to meet and Just
half time enough to meet It; "I don't
want you to give me any money, but
could you take me in somewhere and
get me a bite to eat?"
"Certainly," was the reply. Then he
added, sympathetically, "you haven't
had anything to eat in two days, have
you? Come along and I'll tlx you out."
The victim of heartless capital was
somewhat surprised at the cordiality of
hla reception, but admitted that he had
been fasting for the length of time nam
ed. He followed eagerly for half
block and then began to hang back. The
would-be philanthropist observed this
deflection and assumed that the poor
fellow was weakened by starvation, as
it must be especially difficult for a
starving man to carry bis 180 pounds'
at a rapid pace.
"I don't want to Inconvenience you
any, sir," said the mendicant, noting
the sympathetic look, "and if you're In

"Oh, I don't mind at all about the
time; I'm not particularly busy just
now and as I have the Indigestion my
self I have a notion to see how a hun
gry man eats Just for old-time's sake."
They went on for another half-block,
but this time the falling off in the hun
gry man's speed was too noticeable to
be ascribed to mere physical weakness,
and when the benefactor turned again
the unfortunate one said:
"You're a gentleman and can under
stand how I feel. Don't you think it
would be more considerate not to humil
iate a poor fellow by advertising hla
poverty In a restaurant Just because
he's down and out? If you could let
me have the money I could walk Into
the restaurant like a man and retain
my self-respect."
The man addressed could not see It
that way, however, and when he turned
around a moment later he was pained
to observe that his hungry friend had
