THE IRRIGATION AGE.

on interstate streams to the federal courts was in- 

 cluded in the majority reports of the resolutions com- 

 mittee. It was vigorously opposed by Mr. F. C. Goudy, 

 of Colorado, and supported by Mr. Steel, of Nebraska. 

 The settlement of what promised to be a long argu- 

 ment was reached by the adoption of a substitute reso- 

 lution introduced by Dr. Elwood Mead, of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, for the appoint- 

 ment of a committee of five to consider this question 

 and report at the next Congress. This substitute was 

 seconded by Mr. Ashbaugh, one of the attorneys for 

 Kansas. The committee to consider this matter is Dr. 

 Elwood Mead, chairman, of the Department of Agri- 

 culture; Morris Bien, of the Eeclamation Service; 

 Frank Freeman, of Willows; Col. J. H. Lewis, of 

 Oregon ; and Ira P. Englehardt, of Yakima, Wash. 

 Three of the members are lawyers and two are en- 

 gineers. Mr. Ashbaugh and Mr. Goudy showed in 

 their addresses their familiarity with the subject. Dr. 

 Mead, the chairman, has been connected with the liti- 

 gation in the Kansas-Colorado case as an engineering 

 expert for the government. 



The Hon. St. John Tucker, dean of the George 

 Washington College, Virginia, made a masterful speech 

 to induce the delegates to meet at the Jamestown ex- 

 position in 1907. Mr. Tucker is a marvelously per- 

 suasive talker and very nearly captured the prize on the 

 first vote, but the later balloting went in favor of 

 Sacramento. 



Idaho was loyal to Boise and the Congress, as was 

 evidenced by her delegation of between three and four 

 hundred. 



The chairman of the executive committee of the 

 fifteenth congress, Mr. W. A. Beard, of Sacramento, 

 is a man of large experience in the line of handling 

 organization^ and he is at present at the head of the 

 Sacramento Valley Improvement and Development 

 Association. Those who are acquainted with Mr. 

 Beard predict a wonderful congress under his man- 

 agement. 



SACRAMENTO, CAL., NEXT. 



Only two ballots were required to settle the location 

 of the next congress which was fixed at Sacramento. 

 The vote was as follows on first ballot : 



Jamestown Ill 



Sacramento 108 



Keno 70 



Las Vegas 64 



On the next ballot Reno withdrew and the vote 

 stood, Sacramento, 207; Jamestown, 153. The result 

 was received with cheers and the best of feeling pre- 

 vailed.

 by the convention were as follows:

 of Oregon.
