Colorado Springs in July. This prom
ises to be, in many respects, the most
interesting and important of these
gatherings held up to date. We are
now facing II critical period in the
history of the national irrigation
movement. Hitherto the efforts have
been to educate the people OF the
country as to the Importance OF u
movement regarding which Il vast
majority Of those living east OF the
Rocky Mountains have, until recently,
had little or no conception, most Of
them regarding the idea OF rrig tito n
on large scale as somethin.; wild,
speculative, AMI chimerical, like the
idea OF reaching the North Pole by
balloon, BY two years hard, presst-
emf, and systematic missionary work
throughout the country this condition
OF affairs has been entirely changed.
Few great national movements have
within so brief time aroused SO
much enthusiasm thro ughout the
country.
