'ihe attendance was larger, the intciest greater aud the work accomplished more voluminous than at any previous session. The attendance of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and other men high in the councils of the to nation gave great encouragement the faithful workers, who year after year have been laboring for the advancement of the great arid region, and went to show that the Irrigaiois of the country have warm friends among the leaders of the country who are willing and eager to help in the reclamation of the thousands of acres of waste land now given up to sage brush and cactus, and convert these dreary wastes into productive and prolific farm lands for the homeless. And here In Utah the delegates to the congress were brought to a full realization of what may be accomplished by the judicious use of water, and made to realize more than ever what may be accomplished by irrigation. A striking example of what may be accomplished by man diverting the waste waters of the land to hi own use was presented by the Idaho delegation in the form of a large sage brush and a plate of apples grown on ground which had previously been covered by sage brush, but is now made prolific by the use of water which would otherwise go to Waste. Thirty states were represented at the convention, and five governors were in attendance, besides many other men prominent In the public hffalr8 of the nation. The new officers of the Congress are; President, W. A. Clark, of Montana; first vice president, L. W. Shurtliff, of Utah; second vice president, W. C.. Johnson, of Colorado; third vice president, John Hall, of Texas: secretary, H. B. Maxson, of Nevada. Senator Clark and Mr. Max-Bo-n were to their positions. Executive Committee Arizona, D. A.

The next session of the congress will be held in El Paso, Texas, that town having defeated Boise for the honor by a vote of 205 to 147. The El Paso delegates came with a determination of securing the next con-- . Ventlon, bringing with them the 'famous Mexican band, and each member working with all hie might for the honor of entertaining the delegates to the next session of the congress, and they came out victorious. The big fight of the convention was not settled until the last session on It waa over the resolution Friday. favoring the repeal of the timber and stone act, the desert land act and the commutation clause of the homestead law. George H. Maxwell of California led, the fight for repeal, while J. M. Carey of Wyoming, assisted by Congressmen Shafroth and Brooks of Colorado and others, Including Governor Heber M. Wells of Utah, worked to keep the present laws on the statute books. The forces finally won by securing the passage of the following amendment; the vote being 213 ayes to 148 nays: Whereas, The timber and stone act, the desert land law and the commutation clause of the homestead act, have in nianv instances in their administration been found to result in speculation and in monopoly of the public domain to the exclusion of actual home building, therefore be it "Resolved, That we request the congress of the United States to make such modifications in said laws as will save the remaining public lands for actual settlers who will found homes and live upon said lands.

I h Rex-bur- i d The first member of the board of aldermen who wants to pull the tail out of the British lion might do so by changing the names of some of New Yorks streets. The board of aldermen have the power of changing the names of streets at their own sweet will. This being the case, it teems strange that the men most prominent as Tories or Royalists at the time of the revolution are honored by having some of the principal thoroughfares of the city named after them. Oliver Delaney was arrested by the liberty boys as a traitor, yet we have four streets recalling and perpetuating his memory Delancey and Orchard streets, which ran through the Delaney farms, and James and Oliver streets, both complimentary to two members of the family, who were traitors to the cause of liberty. William Bayard was a Tory merchant and an ancester of Thomas Frances Bayard. Bayard and Hester streets, which still remain such, were qamed after him and his daughter. Thomas Barclay, a traitor who Bed to Nova Scotia to escape imprisonment and execution, was a clergyman of Trinity church, the hotbed of Toryism, and Barclay street still bears his name. Llndley Murray, the Tory grammarian, has his name perpetuated in Murray street. John Moore was deputy collector of cus After three years of service as a surgeon of the United States army in the Philippines, Dr. E. R. Tenney of Kansas City, Kan., has returned to his home In this city. The Sultan of Sulu, as described by Dr. Tenney, is hardly the sort of potentate pictured in comic opera. He Is a very ordinary individual, who lives in a very ordinary way and does about as all the rest of the Sulus do. The Sultan of Sulu assumes control over all the Moros," Dr. Tenney said, but in reality he has no control over any but those who choose to follow him. I met the Sultan on several occasions and was treated very cordially by him. He is not a man of great strength of character or Intelligence, but possesses craft and cunning. The greatest man in the Sultans domain is Haji Butu, the prime minister. I visited the Sultan In his home at Miabon, directly across the island of Sulu from the town of Jolo. It is a very ordinary house nothing like a great palace and only a little bettpr than the average native home. He has four legal wives and a fin siring The Meadow ' ten-aci- e public or private works, only a small traction of the arid lands Can be reclaimed. In such a situation there are two things which may be done to increase the area which can be reclaimed: One Is to Increase the water supply; the other is to make a better use of what we have. The work of the agricultural as authorized by congress,department, is along the latter line. Some of the possibilities along this line which have been suggested by our work up to the present time will be here presented, together with a general statement of what we are doing. to realize them. The east has one great advantage of the west In irrigation it has a much larger water supply, owing to the heavier rainfall. The question of a water supply is, therefore, of much less relative importance than it is in the west. In the east the main question is the agricultural one: Will irrigation pay? This, of course, includes the study of methods which will make it most profitable. Our work in the east has gone far enough to show that in raising small fruits and vegetables, at least, irrigation pays well.' n Sulus Sultan a Sport. I J toms, and Moore street was named after him and still bears his name. He was a Tory. James Rivington was the boldest spoken Tory when New York was occupied by the British, and in furtherance of the cause of the king he started a newspaper and continued it us tH forced by Washington to suspend it after the British evacuation. Rfting-tostreet remains to remind people of the atrocities practiced by English soldiers, mostly at the instigation of and upon information supplied by Rivington. It was due to him that hundreds of patriots died of starvation in the overcrowded, impromptu Jails and cellars of the North Dutch church in Nassau street, and in other and worse prisons on the Hudson river side at Eleventh street. Peter Warren was a brother-in-laof Rivington and fully as strong in his hatred and denunciation of patriots. He was honored by having Warren street named after him. Robinson and Clarkson streets were named after two noted Tories. Robinson street is now a part of Park place, but while that name has gone forever Clarkson street still remains. Duncan Ludlaw was a supreme court justice of strong Tory proclivities, who made his name odious to the patriots, hut he was honored and hi name preserved by calling Lndlov street after him.
