ulOnS upon the solution of which de-
 bends the, further developm lent of the
 western and west central plains. The
 work has not been without it's fruit.
 Interest has been awakened in points
 remote from the irrigated regions and
 the reclamation of the waste areas is
 now regarded in all justice as one of
 the most important problems awaiting
 legislation.
 The coming session at Phoenix will.
 It IS not doubted, be the most effective
 Of all. Particularly prominent will be made the discussion of points of legis-
 latlon in order that well-digested meas ures be prepared for the consideration of the federal congress and of the state legislatures. Though able au- thorlties will be in attendance and have 1 been placed upon the programme for bhe presentation of subjects of techni- cal and economic interest, it is de- signed that the fifth congress shall be a body with work far more general than has been the case in any of it's predecessors. Addresses presenting subjects shall be limited to fftees minutes and the subsequent discussion to half an hour, this ruling of the ex- ecutive committee not applying, how ever, to the discussion of legislation or resolutions.
 The city of Phoenix, chosen for the location of the fifth congress. is in every way we'll adapted. It is a thrifty and progressive city of 12,OOO inhabi- tants, the capital of the territory of Arizona, and is excellently we'll pre- pared for the reception of even the thousands who will come to attend congress. Its local committee of ar arrangements and reception is already at work and the promise is extended that every visitor will be furnished with the best Of accommoda dations at prices even lower than usually charged locally. The city IS situated in the midst of the richest irrigated valley in America. that of the Salt river, whose irriga- tlon works of the grandest magnitude are to be studied-works that have transformed the parched plains into Wondrous orchards and vast fields of alfalfa. Ample opportunity will be af- forded delegates to inspect all points of interest without cost.
 ASA1A ON1o uSoCCS WILL uOL exceed a l single fare for the round trip from all points between Chicago and the Pa clnc ocean; details of transportation ana ticket limitation to be later an- nounced by the interested railroads Passengers may be routed into Phoe- nix over either the Santa Fe or South ern Pacific railway systems, Oppor- tunlty at low cost will be given fnr slde trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado, to the City of Mexico. to southern California and other points.
