Active preparations for the holding of
the national irrigation congress at Albu-
querque have commenced. This session
will be the fourth of these now famous
gatherings, the first three having been
held at Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and
Denver. 1t is the plan to open the CON-
gress on Monday, September l6, and de-
vote three or four days to the business in
hand. Thence an excursion to Santa Fe
and up north as far as Embudo is
planned to show the delegates the Rio
Grande valley and the cultivation from
there south to Ell Paso. A short stay 10
to be made in Santa Fe. Then daylight
ride down the Rio Grande valley to Ell
Paso is proposed with stops probably at
Socorro and Las Cruces. night ride
to Pecos City will then follow and day
light ride to Roswell to show the dele
gates and newspaper correspondents the
magnificent irrigation system of the
Pecos valley. The train is to have two
or probably three Pullmans for the &C.
commodation>o delegates. These feat
ures, the advertising of the congress ard
the printing of the proceedings and the
congress proper are to be under the d.
rection of the territorial committee of
the national irrigation congress, of which
committee the following are members:
Ex-Gov. Prince, G. G.. Blodgett, W. G..
Hadley and Max. Frost.
The Albuquerque Commercial Club has
appointed a committee, with j. E. Saint
as chairman, to look after the local en-
tertainment of the delegates while in Al
buquerqus. The committee of the ma
tional congress will organize at an early
date by the election of officers and will
get actively to work. Exhibits of fruits
and cereals from all sections of New
Mexico are to be secured and placed on
exhibition at the fair grounds in Albu-
querque for tho inspection and examine
ton of the delegates. The committee of
the national congress is already at work
and in correspondence with the railroads
leading into New Mexico for reduced
passenger rates and transportation for
exhibits and will do it's best to make the
congress, which has 80 benefited Califor-
mia, Colorado and Utah, of equal benefit
to New Mexico.
