VITALITY IMPORTANT ARTS
Hon. James McNeeley Found the Irriga-
ton Convention Very Instructive.
Charmed by the Beauties Of
the Bitter Root.

Missoula, Oct 14-Amon~ the east
| ern reports of the national irrigation
| congress meeting at Missoula last
month there has been none that is more
| interesting that that furnished to the
| Evansville. Ind, Journal-News of last
Sunday by it's proprietor Hon. James
| H. McNeely, who attended the con-
gress as the representative of his state
and city. Mr.. McNeely devotes several
interesting columns to the congress ana
to Missoula and the Bitter Root val
ley Among other things, Mr.. McNeely
says:
THE occasion was highly instructive
and interesting, even to a resident of
Indiana, where artificial irrigation is
not necessary, inaSmuch as important
facts were presented in regard to rri-
cation and storage of water-arts that
are of vital Importance to states and
territories west of the Missouri river
and incidentally to the dwellers in the
great humid region. The truth of the
proverb, Whatever concerns part
concerns the whole is exemplified
anew in this great gathering of men
| of science and practical experience
| There were in this congress represen-
| tativeS of II states. two territories and
| the District of Columbia. the largest
number, of course, being from Mon
| tana.
| Papers were read and addresses de-
| livered to the number of 25-all Of
| them able and some eloquent The
citizens of Missoula raised $1,000 as a
hospitality fund and exerted them
selves for the entertainment of dele
gates. There was musical entertain
! ment and dance for their delectation.
| The congress adjourned 10 meet next
year in Chicago. The piece de resist
ance' that nobody wanted to resist the
grand elimination of the whole event,
was Thursdays excursion up the far
famed Bitter Root valley, a miles to
| Hamilton. thence through that Won
derfu expanse of irrigated farms. Mar
| Gus Days great stock farm
Mr.. McNeely proceeds to describe al
| length the Bitter Root stock farm and
draws from his experience there many
interesting conclusions. His tribute to
Missoula and its adjacent territory is
especially pleasing to those who live
| here and who are willing to listen tC
good things about themselves and theil
country.
