Grcnt Plan of Irrigation.
The National Irrigation Congre

Inc NaUlOual IFrlRaCiOu congress
which.wiil meet at Chicago, III. Nov,
II, 30, 23 and y is creating wide
interest and promises to be an una sual
success. The national irrigation
movement has becomea broad popular
movement and eastern commercial
interests have readily taken hold of
the idea of reclaiming and populating
the arid west and thus creating
great home market for their goods.
The best authorities on irrigation
and forestry have been secured to
speak and give illustrated lectures.
and men of national fame and renown
as orators and statesman, will address
the Congress at the great Auditorium
theatre on subjects of national interest
to the West.
Under the constitution of the Con-
gress the mayor of each city of $4,000
or less population is entitled to ap
point two delegates, while cities of
greater population are entitled to
four delegates. Each agricul tural
college, organized irrigation, agri-
cultural and horticultural association,
each society of engineers, irrigation
company and each board OF trade and
chamber of commerce is also entitled
two delegates.
Reduced railway rates have been
arranged of one fare plus two dollars
for the round trip to Chicago from
nearly all western points, good until
November 2sth. All delegates Oh
persons receiving invitations to the
Congress can obtain this rate on the
certificate plan. That is, travellers
should buy single trip ticket Il
Chicago and take a certificate mot I
receipt) from the ticket seller at the
point of starting. This certificate
will be stamped at the Central Musi
Hall, where the sessions of tn
National Irrigation Congress will b
u held, and will then entitle the holde,
!. upon presentation to the ticket agen
- at Chicago, to return ticket for onl
y two dollars.
This liberal reduction will enable
- =. great many people to take the trip t
. Chicago, at a moderate cost.

of breaking the chains of this slav-

These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which is therefore given time to rest
