 irrigation Congress.
Secretary McMillan Speaks Interest inely Of the Coming Meeting-The Subject Viii Be Exnaustively Treated Tn All Phases.

very busy Ou IudIlSio dppoI ldluluS lO the coming congress when Republi- can reporter saw him yesterday. But as busy as he was he cheerfully gave information regarding the work of the local committee. He said that the committee had the detail work well in hand and the amount of business that is devolved i upon the local committee is not light by any means. The first thing under taken by the committee was to thor oughly advertise the congress abroad. For that purpose over 10000 small cir culars and about 20,003 one-sheet hang i country.
 Tn addition to the advertising mat ! ter sent out by the local committee said MT. McMillan, ''1S5 of the leading papers in the United States have pub ! lished the official call of the congress and 150 more papers have devoted from one to two columns in advertising not only the congress, but Phoenix as a winter resort and as a most apprOpri- ate place for holding the congress. 1 "The committee" he continued, "has received notification from the govern CTS of Arizona, California, Colorado, 1 Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota Oklahoma, Texas, Wash ington, Minnesota, Illinois, Connecti cut and Maryland that full delegations have been appointed to represent the states and territories named at the congress As soon as possible dele gates from the other states will be ap- pointed The only states that are not l particularly interested in irrigation are i Virginia and North Carolina, and those ! two states will not send delegates 1 Representatives from agricultural schools who will be prsent will be: Professor Hilgard of California, Charles P. Fox of Idaho, W. C. Haines of Minnesota, Professor A. B. Stone of i Nebraska, J. E. Stubbs of Nevada, Pro- lessor T. c. Jordan of New Mexico and Fl. B. Glazier of Oklahenia '-,
 We have sent letters to all the manufacturers of agricultural machin- cry to the effect that it is our inten- tion to have display of agricultural and mining machinery during the con- gress, and invited them to place their machinery on exhibition
 In conclusion Mr. McMillan said that the congress would be largely attended
 and he is of the opinion that it will 1 be the most successful one held thus far
