Public Urged to Be Present
AT Gathering,

The campaign of preparing for the
meeting of the national irrigation con-
gress in conjunction with the twenty
eighth territorial fair in Albuquerque
next fall will be launched at s O'Clock
Tuesday night at an important meet
ing to be held in the hall we Zeig-
er's. At this meeting officers will be
chosen to take charge Of the great
dual event. and plans outlined to
make the gathering one that will be
without precedent in Albuquerque or
the southwest.
This meeting will be attended by the
committee of tWenty-seVen on the tr-
rigation congress appointed jointly by
the city, the Commercial club n the
county commission; the special gem
eral committee of three; a spe-
cial committee of the territorial fair
association and all fair committee
members. subscribers and citizens in
terested i'm seeing Albuquerque cover
herself with glory next fall.
1t Is always vitality important to get
started right. Albuquerque citizens
and there is not one who Is not per-
sonally interested-should see to it
that the meeting is a big one and full
of enthusiasm. The task which con-
fronts the city is a big one. Albu-
querque, however, is used to taking
hold of big tasks and putting them
through vigorously to a successful
conclusion. 1t will be no small under
taking to take care of the territorial
fair-itself a mammoth affair-and a
national congress that will be attend
ed by many thousands of people. The
warm cooperation of not only all Al
buquerque. but the territory, Is de-
sired. There is a $1,000 deficit to be
shouldcred by the management of the
fair, which helps to make the situa-
tion interesting. But that the situa-
ton will be taken cart of does not
admit of any doubt.
The present plan is to make the
president of the twenty-eighth fair
also vice chairman of the irrigation
congress, to have charge of all local
arrangements. The two events will
thus be practically under one man
agement. and II is believed this ar
rangement will simplify matters.
