FOURTH NATION
AL IRRIGATION
CONGRESS.
To be Held in Albuquerque September
1919, 1895.

BY the authority of the National Exec
utiye Committee, the Fourth National
Irrigation Congress is hereby called to
meet in the city of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, for the four days beginning Sep
tember 10Th, 1895.
The present year is proving to be the
most remarkable in the history OF Amer
ican irrigation. 1t has seen wonder
full awakening of popular interest in the
cause throughout the East, resulting in
the organization of most potential forces
for the purpose of co operating with the
western peple; the enactment of we'll
considered laws in eight States, and the
creation of administrative systems in
five ofthem; the recognition of the press
ing nature of the problem by the De-
partments of Interior and Agriculture,
under whose direction National Board
of Irrigation has been formed from off
cials IN various departments of the gov
eminent
These splendid evidences of the tri-
umphant progress of the irrigation cause
demand large, representative and eff.
fective session of the Irrigation Congress
in 1895, A further reason for such a
gathering Is the fact that the president
ial campaign of 1896 will be inaugurated
previous to the assembling Of another
session of this body, and that it is thus
necessary to formulate, at Albuquerque,
the demands which the friends of irriga-
ton will desire to make upon the great
political parties of the nation.
In view of the nature of the opportun-
ity, program Of extraordinary variety,
interest and importance will be arrang
ed, and it is anticipated that this session
of the congress will be more widely use
full and influential than the previous
conventions at Salt Lake in 1891, at Los
Angeles in lS93 and at Denver in 1894.
The friends of irrigation throughout the
United States for today the movement
is national in its scope and interest
should unite in an effort to obtain a
worthy result at Albuquerque.
