DELEGATES TO BOISE CITY
Those Named From Walla WaIIa to
Attend the Big National Irri-
CATION Congress.

So far, the delegates appointed by
the various powers that be, to attend
the National Irrigation congress at
Boise, are:
By the Governor-N. G. Blalock, w.
G. Preston.
By the City. of Walla Walla-J. D.
Lamb, E. c. Burlingame, w. A. Ritz.
By the County Commissioners-W.
w. Baker, Miles c. Moore, A. r. Bur-
ford, j. L. Elan, Lewis Neace.
This leaves the local representation
short by two delegates from the city
council. and two fro mthe CONNER
cial club. If the city will appoint its
other two and the Commercial club
about a dozen live members, it will
make a good Pullman-car load, and
the whole delegation. can go together,
have it's own hotel, and make a good
showing. No doubt, from the large
moneyed interests represented by the
delegates, some one or more would
like to be host and bear all the ex-
pense. Perhaps Senator Ankeny will
bid for the honor Of host, and carry
his home delegation with him to back
up the chairman Of the senate irrfga-
ton committee.

Printers, stenographers, clerks and

printer was ordered to prepare a list
of the most frequently used one hund-
