all absorbing topic among the delegates
70 the National Irrigation congress to-
day is the question Of the proposed
merger with the Transmississippi COM
merclal congress, The tendency on
the part Of delegates to favor the merg-

little doubt in the minds Of most OBJ
servers as to the movement proving
successful. II is being strenuously OPP
uosed by strong faction headed by +.

that irrigation should be maintained

ers OF the irrigation congress headed by
George Maxwell Of Chicago and John

strongly IN favor Of the merger on the
ground that the irrigation congress In
