GREAT JnOWDS AXE COMING
To Attend the Fifth National
 Irrigation Congress.
Secretary Heintz Says the Gathering Will De Memorable and Valuable From Many Points ofVieW-He's ( Very Busy Man.

c. M Heintz, National secretary of the irrigation congress, arrived from Los Angeles last night and was met at the local headquarters in conference with Executive Committeeman Me Clintock and Secretary James McMil- ; Ian. MT. HeintzS enthusiasm over the outlook for the success of the con gress is of the genuinely spirited sort that is contagious, and leads one to expect that there will be right lively times in Phoenix during the session an event that will be memorable in the history of the city and that can not fail to do incalculable good in the way of distributing knowledge on so i important and timely subject, and in advertising the Garden City and her luxurious agricultural surroundings. MT. Heintz is firm friend of Arizona, and an untiring and effective worker in the irrigation cause. Just now he is very busy man, and he expects to have his energies taxed to their limit before the congress is a matter of his tory.
 Why" said MT. Heintz in conver- sation with a Republican reporter, T have already received 6,vvv letters in regard to the irrigation congress and stenographers are kept busy an- swering them Phoenix is being greatly advertised through the medium of the congress, 526 newspapers having already printed notices of the coming event, and they have enlarged incl dentally on the place where the con- gress is to be held There will un- questionably be the largest attendance here of any Of the preceding con- gresses, and some of the notable men of the times-men who have a scholor- ly and practical knowledge of the sub- ject-will speak. On Monday evening before the session begins a large ex- cursion will leave Los Angeles, and visitors may be expected to pour in continually. The Wright irrigation law will be exhaustive!y discussed There will be from eleven to thirteen papers upon that subject, and I believe the ideas advanced in it's discussion will prove extremely profitable.
 We are almost certain of the at. tendance of William J. Bryan" con. tinued MT. Heintz, "and a speech from the pen of President-elect Mckinley will be read"
