to
8pokorie, Aug. 10. When little
Helen Hamilton, nlcco of Mayor Boyd,
of Coeur d'Alcnc, walked into a pile of
106,000 yellow envelopes containing
applications for Isnd of tho Coeur
d'Alene Indian reservation yesterday
morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, tho
great land drawing on the three tracts
of government land the Flathead, the
Coeur d'Aleno and tho Spokano Indian
reservations was on.
Several hundred people stood around
tho platform, on which Judgo Jamca
W. Wlttcn, of Washington, D. C,
formally opened tho drawing on.ono of
the lost of the big tracts of Uncle
Sam's public domain. Unlike the rush
In "squatter" days, the modern method
of distributing land moved along with
the precision or clockwork.
When Miss Hamilton, daintily dressed
In white, had plucked tho first lucky
envelope from tho mats and handed it
to Judgo Wlttcn and the name of Isa
dora Scllg, of Myrtle Creek, Or., had
been road aloud, tho gathering crowds
began to evidence Increased Interest
nnd quivering oxcltcmc.iL
A faint cheer arose and followed in
rapid order aa Miss Hamilton, aided
by Miss Christine Donlan and Miss
lisrrict Post, plucked the other lucky
envelopes from the pile. Men and
women, now anxious to hear the ver
dicts In tho first 20 envelopes, crowded
up to tho platform where newspaper
men and government clerks grabbed
at the bits of news-bearing names and
started them throughout tho land by
special wlrea run to the drawing stand.
The whole affair Is a perfect deline
ation of tho large scale on which Uncle
Sam conducts bis official business. The
drawing for the first day closed at 4
o'clock. The mark of 1600 sot by
Judge Wittcn as tho labor for the

IRRIGATION CONGRESS OPEN.
Large Number Gathers at Spokane to
Discuss Important Affairs.
Spokane, Aug. 10. The congress
opened with the "Irigatlon Ode," sung
by the Spokane chorus of 250 voices.
The address of welcome to tho state
was delivered by Governor Hay, of
Washington.
On behalf of the city Mayor N. S.
Pratt spoke. Ho caused the suggestion
of a sensation by charging private cap
ital with interfering with government
reclamation projects.
The responso on behalf of the con
gress waa mado by George E. Baratow,
president of the congress.
It is understood that a number of
state delegations have declined to com
mit themselves In the matter of Indors
ing a candidate for president This
is two in tho case of President Bar
stow, who, although an announced can
didate, has not been urged strongly for
a second term becauso of the feeling
that the honor should be "passed
around." Other candldatea for tho
president of tho congress developed
during the day in the persons of ex
Governor Gooding, of Idaho; ex-Governor
Pardee, of California, and Con
gressman Mondell, of Wyoming.
Tho question of a next meeting place
has narrowed down to a fight between
Snn Francisco and Pueblo. Colo., with
Denver pledged to aid the latter.'
Tho now constitution privilege, the
busniess-liko basis so much desired by
the congress, was adopted without dis
sent. Bank Guaranty Law Effective.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 10. The now
guaranty of bank deposits law passed
by the recent special session of tho
Texas legislature went into operation
yestenlay. Tho law is similar to the
Oklahoma law in all its most import
ant provisions. It provides for and do
fines two alternative mothods or plans
for tho protection of tho depositors of
state banking corporations which are
referred to us tho "guaranty fund
plan" ami tho "bond security plan,"
respectively. Tho stato banks may

PINCHOT LOUDLY CHEERED.
Fight Water Trust Is Theme of Gov
ernment's Chief Forester.
Spokane, Aug. 11. Gilford Plnchot,
chief forester of the United States,
caused perhaps the chief sensation at
yesterday's session of tho National Ir-
riagtlon congress.
A fivo-minuta ovation was given him
when ho took tho rostrum, and similar
cheering and "three cheers and a
tiger" wero given when he had con
cluded. Mr. Plnchot took o:caslon to do
nounce the activity of tho water-power
trust which, he said, though still in
Its inception, bids fair to overshadow
all other trusts. He charged that the
Irrigation congress Is being mado the
tool of the corporate interests whose
agents aro belnir made members of im
portant committees for the purpose of
domineering the activities of tho con
gress.
George S. Long, representing the
lumbermen of the Northwest, himself
connected with a big lumber concern In
Seattlo, denied that tho interests of
tho lumbermen are inimical to those of
the consumer. He said that tho lum
berman is only trying to supply a
bealthy demand and that reforestation
will begin in earnest when the demand
has reached the high-price point.
E. T. Allen, United States district
forester, brought applauso upon him
self when ho appealed for safo and
sane lumbering and tho conservation
of water.
Addresses on this subject also were
mado by E. M. Gri frith, of Wisconsin,
and E. T. Campbell, of Canada.
J. N. Teal of the Joint conservation
committee, made an appeal for tho en
largement of the scope of waterways
on the Pacific coast. He showed the
possibiitly of making navigable the
Columbia river for a distance of 2,600
miles by applying the cost of a single
battleship to the work. He declared
that river transportation Is the great
est of automatic rate adjusters, and
cited tho case of Columbia river Im-
Drovcment recently made.
Politics did not enter the lobby dis
cussions, but much comment was beard
for and against the resolution which
will bo proposed by Secretary Hooker,
of the board of control, asking a bond
issue of $5,000,000,000 by the national
government to be used as an Irrigation
fund which may bo loaned to irrigators
unable to carry out projects which need
only financial aid to make them Im
mensely valuable.
It ia expected that this resolution
will call forth much discussion and
opinions are pretty evenly divided.
ONE DEFECT FOUND,
Remarkable Showing at Coeur d'Alene
Land Drawings.
Spokane, Aug. 10. Judge WItten
resumed the drawing of the Coeur
d'Alene reservation at 9 o'clock yester
day morning. The crowd, small at
first, increased soon to several hundred.
but at no time was there the same en
thusiasm as was witnessed on the first
day, probably due to the fact that num
bers after 1,600 are considered of little
value.
Yesterday Judge WItten added sev
eral to his large force of clerks. These
are busy proof reading, typewriting
names and sending cards to the winners.
One of tho interesting features of
the dsy was the number of persons
calling at the land office to make sure
they are the genuine winners of the
numbers. Sometimes two men of tho
same namo appear, and the judge
hands each a piece of paper upon which
he asks esch to write bis nsme, sge,
height, etc., and these must correspond
with tho particulars on the application.
Tho first rejection of application oc
curred yesterday when the name of A.
D. Iioughman, of Charlotte. Mich.,
through Agent Edwin L. Coy, of tho
same place, was read. It waa rejected
on tho ground that Ellerton It. Bayles,
tho notary public oi that town, did not
specify that he was an authorized no
tary to mako out papers for land draw
ing. Out of the 3,000 drawn, this ia
found to be the only one defectively
executed.
Fire Provides Pot Hunt.
Ukiah, Cal., Aug 11. Driven be

yesterday, hundreds of bucks, does,
fawn?, rabbits, squirrels and other

ens of rifles, shotguns and pistols with
which hotel guests and employes
turned out to join in an unexpected pot
hunt. For several hours tho hills rang
with the crash of musketry, and when
the fusllado was over 14 fine bucks
and a brown bear were slain.
Spain's Heavy Loss.
Lisbon, August 11. Twolve thou
