gress. This State not only had the
strongest delegation present at the

ence in the deliberations, but secured

Importance in the state, the holding ot
the next session OF the congress. IN od-
ditlon to this significant selection.
prominent citizen OF Salt Lake was
elected President Of the congress. The
choice Of COL T.. +. Holmes as presi-
dent Is a still further token Of the re-
spect paid to Utah as the Pioneer in the
irrigation cause. and We an feel proud
Of the distinction and think that the con-
gress made a wise selection IN both in-
stances. We congratulate ogden city
on this mark Of It's Importance. ana Col.
Holmes on the deserved distinction ac-
corded TO him The movement for the
merging % the Irrigation Congress into
the Trans Mississippi Congress was
well enough postponed for az least an

some further work has been done IA the
direction desired the union may be ef'
fected with benefit 10 the Trars-Missis-
