Nason, chairman of the local ex ecutive committoe, opened the program with a few brief remarks, in which he said that the assemblage was called to discuss a sub- Ject endeared to the hearts of all western men. He continued that the eyes of the “igreat plains people’ were upon Omaha this week, and hoped the convention would be productive of good results to this glorious transmissour! Gountry. President Moses said that the succoss of the convention was assured from the fact that it was held fn Omaha amid all the magnetie influences of prosperity which had built up this great city. After briefly re- viewing the object of the convention, Mr. Moses Introduced Rev. Martin of Kearney who invoked divine blessing upon the de- tiberations of the conventlon. Colonel Champlon 8. Chase moved that all residents of the arid reglon or great plains country,® whether they were delegates or not, be admitted to the conventton and al lowed to participate in its proceedings. The motion prevailed unariimously. WELCOME BY MAYOR BEMIS Mayor Bemis was heartily applauded he stepped to the front and delivered nddress of welcome fn behalf of the city of Omaha. He extended the freedom of the Gate City to the delegates and said that while he was not thoroughly posted on frrigation, he had appointed a delegation that was and would ave that subject the delegation tor a more extended dis cussion, The mayor gave some commer financial and industrial statist showing the growth of Omaha since 1 He sald that notwithstanding the misrep wentations of some preachers, and other poople, Omaha was one of the best governed ©ities in the country, and while not perfect in its morals, it was not the rampant ho bed of vice that it had begn I 1 waid that the slums of Omah o watered by the irrigating ditches of law, notwithstanding the fact that Rev.

With proper surveys, proper tests and encourag- ing legislation, coupled with the encrgy of business of the west, the subject of irriga- tion would be crowned with success and its marvelous results manifested. W. A. L. Gibbon of the Commercial club made one of his characteristic specches in whicl he convinced them that “Omaha was a great city.” He placed the metropolis of Nebraska upon a pyramid of natural re- sources, of which agriculture was the foun- dation. The speaker heartily commended the object for which the convention was called and believed that it was a subject which should appeal to the popular Interest of all westerners in general and Nebraskans in_particular. In conclusion, Mr. Gibbon extended a cor- dial welcome to the delegates to attend a reception to be tendered by the Commercial club at the headquarters of that organiz tion, Sixteenth and Farnam streets, at § o'clock in the evening, .

Colonel Cody was vociferously called for, and stepped to the front. He made an in- teresting talk on “The Plains, Past and Present.”” The colonel said that the soil of the great plains, like the Indian, had to bo clvilized, and fed and watered. It didn’t ways make a good Indian to adopt this procedure, but he felt surc that irrigation would recl the great area with magni ficent results. It would be a crop winner The colonel then spoke exhaustively on the subject of cr He said that thousan: people in the east and Burope were re to come west an can desert, as it was once called, as soon as the problem of irrigation was suecess- fully solved. Colonel Cody sald that the federal government should take the subject up and spare neither pains nor cost to tran form the semi-arid regions of progres: ive occident into a beautiful and productive agricultural garden spot, with prosperous cities, a net work of railroads and a per- petual pienie for the happy farmer who would have nothing to do in the winter except to “pop corn, dance and have a good time.” The colonel made a decided hit, and the North Platte delegation grew red in the faco with yells of applause. Mr. Hildebrand was, at this juncture, made assistant secretary of the convention. A telegram was read from W. . Smythe, president of the International Irrigation convention, conveying regrets at his in- ability to attend, but sending words of cheer for the noble work of rescuing the arid acreage Rev.

WANTS CONGRESS PRODDED. George W. Clement, president of the Wich- ita Board of Trade and a clever rustler with two sound lungs, who knows how to make an excellent speech, then proceaded to arouse the convention to a pitch of enthusiasm by stating that the attention of congress should be vividly called to the fact that the best part of the United States did not lie east of the Alleghenies. The rising generation of the west would soon secure control of the reins of political power; the march of civil- ization, progress and prosperity had been from the orient to the occident; the men in Washington and even the man in the white house did not properly recognize the west, but bowed to Wall street and the east. Through a fever of fanaticism Kansas had relegated Senator Ingalls to private life, and death had deprived the west of Senator Plumb, but Kansas would yet recover from this shock and shine more brightly at the nation’s capital; Kansas was not made up entirely of cranks and fanatics, and the day was not far distant when efforts for irri- gation legislation would be a product of a return to power of statesmen who would up- hold its interests in the councils of a great nation; Kansas and Nebraska were twin sisters’ once, linked together in a struggle for frecdom; the soil of theso- states had been bathed in freeman’s blood; they now stood hand in hand for greater development, and were In favor of irrigation as one means of obtaffing it; they would lend their ener- giex for a_development of forces native to thelr soil. Wichita, said the speaker, was not dead. It was like a centipede—the body was alive and all the legs were kicking vigorously. The heel of the boom had not crushed It out, as some people imagined. At 12 o'clock the convention took a recess. AFTERNOON SESSION, Hon. Francls 3. Warren of Wyoming was the first speaker at the afternoon session. He spoke briefly and to the pofnt. The ex- senator echoed the general Sentiment of western men, that congress was too indif- ferent to the needs of the west, and that the time was rapidly approaching when the reclamation of the great plains would force congressional recognition. o Major Powell of Washington gave the delegates a.panoramic as well as rhetorical treat at the afternoon session. By a series of. pictorial maps he exhaustively reviewed the question of rainfall, humidity, surfaces, solls, dry farming, vacant public lands, proportion of improved land to total area, ote. The major's remarks commanded close tention and were exceedingly Instructive. The major referred to the agricultural res gources west of the ninety-seventh meridian, including Nebraska, which is region, where the crops are better some years than others. Successful agriculture in west- orn Nebraska is In Intensive agriculture, sald the venerable irrigation advocate. Dry farming, lie thought, was a feast and famine \dea, It was best to develop small tracts of lands here and there until a large acreage was redeemed and made a pe cess, Careful cultivation and valuable cro wore essential to a judicious investment. Lie sald ~ there might be a va- ri of methods of Irrigation. The might utllize pumps, under- ground waters or other devices of Irrigation, even the “well water” system of Russi, but it would not he fair, he continued, to rcommend any particular method. That remained a problem to be solved according to choice, Flood planes, underflows and natural reservoirs came in for a share of the speaker's attention. European and American methods were compared. The vity system of the former country he re- Ear secondary in cconomy and satis- faction to the pumping system used in the nited States. Major Powell referred storm waters, but sald conditions to success. had made several experiments and they had proved successful he speaker im- pressed upon his hearers that it was a poor policy to attempt to store water in a main channel on account of the ravines with many laterals, He favored storage of the storm waters in lateral basins. Storm waters, he contended, were filled with mud, which would soon fill up the reservoirs in the main chaunel. The fertilizers carried in_storm waters were valuable to the soil. The secrety of suc in intensive farm- ing, he sald, depended upon the quality of water which was given to the plant. Plants lived wholly upon water. Purity of water was necessary. A soil with 70 per cent of saturation es the best result. There is such a thing as shaping the mouths of the plants by adjustment of water. It Is de- structive to crops to irrigate too much as it to irrigate too fittle, The gentleman from Wushington then gave some crop statistics and dissectod irrigation in all its phases. He believed that the future results of irrigation would astonish the world. Its marvelous power had worked wonders in the past. The future had still greater surprises in store. The major predicted that within the next decade the hills on the outskirts of Omaha would all be covered with vines and the Jduction of grapes would be on an extensive scale. In conclusion, the veteran irri fon- ist dwelt upon the subjeot of ownership of vacant lands, showing the prog made in the we't by irrigation and the demand for government lands which ean be irrigat Ho said that he thought more of the eot me than he did of the mart of trade, he 1 a tender regard for the fireside, the cradle, and happy homes. Irrigation ani su cessful agriculture would bring all of these pleasures of life in addition to otherwise bettering the condition of the farmer.

This idea seemed to have been handed down by our ancestors. The subject of Irrigation was a new proposition that faced cur race. The speaker thought that Uncle Sam should ascertain all the economlc facts with rela- tion to frrigation. Private capital would do the rest. If the practibility of (rrigation in arid America was assured, capital would n take the courage to make cxtensive in- vestments. The government should make an Irrigation survey “What Is_this convention for?" asked the speaker. "It {s simply to punch up the con- gressmen The delegates burst into applause and shouted a hearty approval of the speaker's statement. Judge Emery then suggested that tho couvention send a delegation to Wash- Ington to work the congressmen with ‘“‘a little shoe leather work like the Sugar trust fellows do.” He regarded irrigation as the paramount question to arid America, regard- less of the tarfif and silver agitation The lecturer gave a clever pantomime of whisker stroking, in which he referred to Senator Peffer without me \ing that dig nitary’s name, and said that his fellow Kan san had written a book on “The Way Out,’ but the senator had not written the correct tip.

Carpenter of Colorado com- pleted the afternoon’s session with an ad- mirable address on “The Duty of Water.” At 6 o'clock the convention took a recess until 9 o'clock this morning. The committee on resolutions held a session fmmedlately after the adjournment of the afternoon ses- sion and will report this morning, An ex- ecutive session will be held at 9 o'clock. It is sald upon good authority that as a result of the Omaha convention a stromg lobby will be sent to Washington to agitate irrigation bills now pending in congress. i ated ble west wa EASTERN CAPITAL FOR NEBRASKA. Irrigation Enterprises of the State Attract- ing Moneyed Men's At entlon. NEW YORK, March (Special to The Bee.)—Parties here having the placing of money for eastern capitalists are awakening considerable interest In irrigation enter- prises in the arid west, and particularly in western Nebraska. This fact, taken in con- nection with the earnest mavement on the of the people in Nebraska and else- scems to indicate the opening of a new era of prosperity for Nebraska and the west. Attorneys and irrigation specia ve Intorested some New York in the irrigation plant and water power at McCook, Neb., and a representative of the syndicate will investigate this canal and prospect In a few days. If this property proves satisfactory on examination, the same syndicate will be open to investment in other irrigation projects of similar char- acter and promise. e THEY ARE NOT HAPPY YET. Chicago Roads Cannot Adjust the Little Rate Matters of Difference. CHICAGO, March 21.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—Complication may yet arise ich will prevent the contemplated ad- vance in transcontinental passenger rates. The Atchison attended today’s meeting of the Western Passenger assoclation, but refused requests to advance its 10 rate between Chlcago _and Kansas City to the old rate. It gave as its reason that it was originally justified in making the reduction to meet the cut rates of competitors, made through brokers. At the time of the re- duction the charge of rate cutting was made and substantiated. Since then ng explanation ha ade and the cut rate is still quoted by scalpers. Until this condition was changed the Atchison would not even consider a proposition to advance the Missourl river rate. Unexpected opposition to the proposed advance in transmissour rates materialized when the Northwestern declared it was not prepared to_vote on the question. An ad- journment was consequently taken until tomorrow. After adjournment the Burlington, Rock Tsland and Atchison sent a joint ram to all transmissourl lines ~asking their opinion on an advance. Enough favorabie answers were reccived tonight to make it practically certain the rates would be ad- vanced. all REV. DR. ANDERSON DEAD.

Turning to the right from the entrance the spectator came upon the para- sol department, with some of the most elab- orate conceptions ever contrived to shelter the face of beauty from the too inquisitive gazo of the sun. These parasols were in all colors and shades and of a range of prices to conform to all purses. Adjoining were cases of laces, some of them as delicate as the thistle down, in {he most beautiful de- signs and ranging in prices from small figures up to 0 a yard. One point lace handkerchief was shown which retailed at $75. Then there were collars of the most delicate lace work, every thread of which represents days of work for some toiler i a far off country. Next came the embroid- eries, French and Suisse, which would de- light the heart of American art needle workers. Following this came the muslin underwear, ore delicate and artistic than the ordinary spectator could imagine. A large assorfment of shell goods was also passed, presided over by clerks who had a name for everything. In an adjoining case were pocket books, and the clerk in charge explained that the latest noveltics were made of the skins of the amphibians of Florida, lizards, snakes and alligators, and many of them were beauti- fully colored. A lot of small wares came next, among them being some garters, which were “perfect dream The ribbon de- partment was as gorgeous and more multi- colored than usual.

One feature here was a sample of Priestley’s serges which held water. On an 85-foot counter was an exhibition of silks including all the new and beautiful g00ds for ball and party dresses. In the linen department the attraction was a beautiful table spread with drawn work which was exhibited at the World's fair, and is sald to be the finest'specimen in the country.

On the second floor, reached by a stair- way from the center of the store, the visitor was introduced to the drapery department, whero the most costly products of the looms of both the occldent and orient would lead him to believe that he had entered one of the paluces of the sultans.
