IRRIGATION CONVENTION
100000: Earned bv North
Dakota, Which Can Be APP ~
piled to Improve the
Sfofo
State.

To the Citizens of North Dakota:
Under the law passed through the ef-
forts of Senator Hansbrough there has
accumulated in the national treasury
nearly Sc, 100000 to the credit of North
Dakota for irrigation purposes. If this
is not called for by the state, the secre-
tary of the interior can allow it to be
temporarily used in other states.
Are there not sections in North Da-
kota where such experiments can be
tried with every probability of success?
Is it not desirable that this money be in
vested in tbs state? 1t will increase the
value Of the assessable property in
North Dakota at least SIC, 100000, and
. will therefore benefit all sections OF the
state. j.
Unless concerted action is taken this
money will be used elsewhere. We
therefore deem it best to call state
convention at Bismarck, n. D., for
Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 20 and 81
and ask for q full representation of all
interests in the state. All state officers
United States senators, congressman,
state members Of national party, commit
tees, members Of the legislature, mem
bers Of the various political state conf
mittees, county and city officials, in
GLIDING county commissioners will be
accorded membership in said conven-
ton by virtue Of their office, the chair
men Of abe various political committees
for each county are also entitled to seats
and a voice in said convention. Each
board of county commissioners is also
allowed to appoint five or more dele
gates. and each city mayor, commercial
organization and state educational lnsti
tuition is asked to name two or more
delegates.
1t is the desire to make this conven
ton representative Of the best interests
OF North Dakotal in every respect. The
delegates from North Dakota in every
respects. The delegates from North
Dakota. to the National Irrigation Con-
gress will bave an interesting report t.
make and enc that Will be'of value to
the state. Many prominent speakers
from abroad will be present.
The convention will be called TO order
at 10 a. m. Tuesday,, Oct. 20. To facili-
tate fhe work of the committee OH Gre
