Tho time is short, and many delegates
are yet TO be appointed, for it is essen
tial that Utah be fully represented in
this gathering This is not only called
for by the neighborly comfy due be-
tween the two States, but it is neces-
sary because Of the transcendant i'm
portance OF the matters which will be
brought TO the front.
Not many delegates have thus far
been appointed from Utah, but all that
are permitted should be named without
delay. Here is the scheme Of the rep
rcsentation, Tho congress will comprise

City; five delegates each from Ogden,

tural or immigration society; two from
each organized irrigation district, and
one each from the University and the
Agricultural College.
1t should provide formidable dele
CATION, ono that could come pretty near
carrying everything its own way; and
as that is sure TO be the right way,
it is all the more desirable that full
delegations should be selected, Of dele
gates who will be sure to go.
Mr.. Kiesel directs pointed attention
to the Importance of sending the names
of delegates to Chairman M. B. Gwinn
at Boise, Idaho, so that proper arrange
ments can be made In time for their
reception and accommodation.
The way to get good delegations is to
appoint good citizens who will go, and
the time to appoint them is now.
