Denver, Sept. 7—The delegates of
the Irrigation Congress did not arrive
from Rookjrford until 5 a. m. today,
consequently the congress did .not
assemble until late. 1
Joeb Shoemaker, of Utah, moved
that the committee on resolutions be
asked for a report. The oommittee has
had five days In which to prepare reso
lotions, he said, and unless some
scheme is being) worked there is no
reason why the Work should not be
completed. His motion was carried.
The oommittee is, in the midst of a
bitter fight over endorsing the propo
sitlonto pat the land ceded to the
states under government control and
will not be ready to report until this
afternoon. There will be a majority
and minority » eports.
Beet sugar by irrigation was the
snbject upon which Mr. Cutler of Utah,
read a paper. He had demonstrated
by personal investigation that arid re-
gions were particularly adapted to the
culture of sugar beats, when Irrigated.
Don Ramon J. de Ybarrola of Mexi-
co, addressed the congress on the sub-
ject of an international commission to
determine water rights at the head of
streams between the republic of Mex-
ico and the United States. He said a
few years ago the Rio Grande was im-
passable at many points for a part of
the year, so great was the volume of
water. Now the bed at these places is
almost dry and the result was disastrous
to farming sections in Mexioo, whioh
had depended upon the river for water.
This was brought about by the con-
struction of great canals in New Mexi-
oo and Arizona. He thought the
United States had no right to ail the
water of the river,to the great Injury of
Mexioo, and he hoped to see a oommis
sion appointed to settle this question.
David Boyd of Greeley, Colo., read
a paper on the nature and behaviour
of the Platte river.
Judge Emery of Kansas, national
lecturer of the oongress, spoke on the
“True significance of the irrigation
movement in regard to arid lands.”
He said the arid section of the United
States is one half the possessions of
the government, not including Alaska.
“This section,” he said, “has not over
five million population, the greater
portion of this vast traot oan be irri-
gated and If reclaimed will provide
homes for over 73,000,000 of people.”
He denounced the letter of Secretary
Morton to this oongress, in whioh he
.aid. “These meetings have DothlDg
to do with practical irrigation,” as ab-
solutely untrue. He advocated small
farms, storage reservoirs and an irri-
gation survey for the purpose of dis-
covering and distributing water for
irrigation purposes.
Congress then took a recess until 2
o’olook.
Immediately upon reassembling the
committee on resolutions submitted a
majority and minority report. The
majority report was as follows:
“The national executive oommittee
of the irrigation oongress is hereby
instructed to prepare a series of bills
for (presentation to the oongress of the
United States, embodying the following
propositions:
1. To repeal the desert land law.
2. The withdrawal from settlement
of all arid lands within the arid region
not found to be capable of irrigation,
all such lands, except mineral lands, to
be held for catchment areas, pasturage
and timber.
3. Leasing the pasturage lands,
giving preference to actual oooupante
and cultivators of adjoining Irrigable
lands, and the sale of surplus timber;
the proceeds arising from snoh re-
sources to be devoted to the develop-
ment of the water supply for irriga-
tion within the state, and when no
