The session OF the National Irrigation Con-
gress which will be held In Denver, Septem-
Der $40, VIII be the most important meeting
in the history OF Irrigation. Commissions
have been appointed By all tho states inter
ested in the subject. which will present re-
ports TO the convention relative to recon-
mendation by the Congress, Of laws, both
state and national, covering all points OF the
subject, The irrigation laws Of the various
states and territories differ so widely that
much expensive litigation Is continually in
progress vastly Increasing the cost Of irriga-
ton and deterring capital from investment in
the stocks and bonds Of irrigation companies.
The subject of government appropriations
for reclamation Of arid lands by construction
of storage reservoirs, sinking Of wells, etc,
also government experiments in the matter Of
best and most economical systems 10 be used,
will receive careful attention. The ceding

Very few states are 20 fortunately situated rs
Colorado in the matter Of having the sources

Complaint II made by states receiving wa
ter from states lying above them, that all the
water is appropriated and that they receive
none except in time OF floods. just and
/ cuuable laws should be passed, and no state
| should be allowed TO use more water than
needed, simply because it is there, TO the del-
/ rimeut of other sections.
Different methods of irrigation, each meth
cd claiming different merits Of It's own, are
used In different parts Of the country. One
| of the great advantages OF these annual gath
erings OF men Interested in these matters is
that opportunities are afforded for represent
Htives OF different sections Of the country 10
| become familiar with the ideas and methods
| of other states Much information of great
| practical value Is thus obtained. II is i'm
| portant that all sections Of the western coun-
! try, and particularly Of this state, take a
| lively interest in thls matter, contributing TO
/ the funds and appointing delegates who are
men Of influence In their communities, who
are acquainted with the subject, and above
| all who will attend the meeting.
