AT meeting OF the 4th national IT.
rigation congress, which had accepted the
cordial invitation of the territory of New
Mexico and the Pecos Irrigation and I'M
provement comp any to be their guests
on an excursion to the Pecos valley, it
was decided that in view of the generous

extended to the members of the congress
there should be public expression and
acknowledgement OF the appreciation in
which their acts of kindness are held.
At that meeting the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
First--That our thanks are due to

has used in securing arrangements by
which the members have been 30 COM
fortebly carried over the Atchison, To-
and the Pecos Valley railroads, and have
had free entertainment given them at the
eating houses.
Second-That the exertions which were
made by the citizens of Las Cruces to
furnish the party with carriages to drive
through their fruitful hills, orchards and
vineyards and to visit their young and
very promising Agricultural college and
to partake of their bountiful hospitality
in the excellent repast which they pre-.
pared for them and the abundance of
superior fruit which they furnished them
will always be held in delightful remem-
brance by the members of the irrigation
congress and in the days to come they
will not fail to take lively interest in
the progress and prosperity of Las Cru
ces and the magnificent valley in which il
is situate.
