IRRIGATION HOST OPENS A SESSION AT SPOKANE TODAY

Government Will Be Asked to Appropriate $5,000,000 to Be Repaid Within One Hundred Years. WANT UNCLE SAM TO ACT AS THE BANKER Governor Hay in Making Address of Welcome Today Tells of the Great Work Which Has Been Done. (American News Service) Spokane, Wash., Aug, t. The Seventeenth national irrigation congress opened its sessions here today ready to consider a proposition for the government to issue $3,000,000 worth of bonds redeemable ' in one' hundred years for the development of the west.. The resolution putting forward this proposition contains the" unique offer that the government shall not appropriate a cent but derive its return from the revenues of the improvements. ' In other words Uncle Sam will act as the banker. Among the speakers today are George Ames Barstow of Texas, president of the congress; Joseph M. Carev, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Dr. Enoch A. Bryan, president of the Washington state college: F. H. Newell, director of the United States reclamation service; Dr George C. Pardee, ex. Gov. of California: James J. Hill, head of the Great Northen railway company and Governor Hay of Washington. "Conditions, ths outgrowth of another development of this country have forced upon us the necessity of reclaiming our waste areas and adopting more economical methods in utilization." said Gov. Hay in his address of welcome today. History Repeating. "History is repeating in America the experence of the older seats in civilization. We are now turning to the countries of Europe for examples In seeking scientific and effective methods of conserving and perpetuating the gifts of nature upon which we depend not only for economic progress, but for sustenance itself. "Reclamation was used by the Chinese forty .centuries ago. The waters of the Nile were diverted while tho pyramids were building. Irrigation is prehistoric. Doing Great Work. "It is estimated that 13.000,000 acres were irrigated last year west of the Mississippi. Forty-two millions of dollars have been expended since the formation of the United States reclamation service. The possibilities are great. We can reclaim 75.000,000 acres of swamp land by drainage; we could secure use of 35.000,000 more by water courses. Since 3000 the yearly damage by floods is $255,000,000. This could largely be prevented by protecting the sources of the streams and by forest growth. , "Last year this association had 100 men in the field and expended $25,000,000. At the present time, too, we are wasting 05 per cent of the lumber. We are consuming 40 cubic feet per year; the growth is 12 cubic feet. This Is not a cheerless picture only fact.'' IS F Mrs. Thaw Would Rather Have Son There Than in an Asylum. MAKES STATEMENT TODAY (American News Service) "White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 9. Mrs. Mary. Copley Thaw declared today that she would rather see her son sent to Bloomingdale than to the Matteawan asylum. She is cheerful, however, and expects that Justice Mills will set Harry free. She will remain here until the case is disposed of. She expressed herself as satisfied with the case as it stands. She thinks the proceedings have been fair. She says that even if the justice does not see fit to turn her son over to her he may commit hini to some institution other than Matteawan. She thinks that the court might send Harry to Bloomingdale. He would then be right under the eyes of the judge, who could obtain reports daily. , : 4 Notice to campers.

Sensations developed in the Sutton inquiry today. Judge Advocate Leonard decided that in consideration of comments in the press the 'records of Saturday's star chamber session were to be made public. Lawyer Davis for the Sutton's said nothing could be accomplished by such an action except to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the courtroom throng. Davis claimed the letters were written by a frantic and angered mother and were irrevelant. Judge Leonard angrily admitted he himself was curious and now wanted the public to know what Mrs. Sutton's charges were. Mrs. Sutton remained in the auurt room but Mrs. Parker, young Sutton's sister hurriedly left the court room. The letters were from Mrs. Sutton to Harry M. Schwartz, formerly clerk in the paymasters office, navy department, Washington. Here are some of the extracts: Some of Extracts. "These men rode out in my son's auto. Adams pulled off his coat when the auto stopped and went at my son. Osterman knocked him down five times. Adams sat on his head and two others on his back. Good God. Mr. Schwartz, to think my son is dead and these wild men are still walking the streets." When the sentence was read saying "Adams, Osterman and . Utleys faces were enough to convict them," the young officers in court snickered, and ripples of laughter ran through court. Mrs. Sutton's letters declared that the fight was planned in advance and was engineered by Utley. She wrote that her son came to her in the spirit and told her he had not suicided but that Lieut. Adams had killed him, that he was beaten to death and shot to hide the crime. YOUNG GIRL WAS FOULLY MURDERED Body Was Found in Crude Grave in a Rochester Cemetery.

The congregation was supposed to remember the words and follow the minister. The minister in those days was the only one who possessed a song book. The concert to be given by the combined Methodist choirs of the city in the evening will be one of the best ever held in the city. A rehearsal will be held next Friday evening and a number of other times before the centennial date. Yesterday, a number of local Meth odists visited all the Methodist churches in the county and issued special invitations for them to take part. Centennial badges bearing a picture of John Wesley and announcement of the celebration were distributed. Methodists from out of th city were urged to attend, particularly t that they might hear Bishop Moore and Bishop Berry make addresses In the afternoon and evening, respectively.
