Importance and value of irrigation as
| a factor in national development and
to make an object lesson with eX"
lhibits of the recources, agricultural,
horticultural, live stock and minerals
| of the great west.

two weeks and will include the Ma
Itional Irrigation congress, the Inter

I2Sta Annual New Mexico Territorial
fair. There will also be receptions,
excursions and other entertainments

Entertainment.
The people of New Mexico are en-
thusiastic in the promotion Of this
great enterprise, this campaign or
publicity and in their efforts to pro
vide for the pleasure and comfort
of delegates and visitors will leave
nothing undone that energetic man
| agement can foresee. Everything will
/ be done for the general welfare OF
| the people who will honor us with
their presence.
| We feel certain that this congress
| will have an added interest to many
! because it will be held on the banks
/ of the historic Rio Grande, where
| over $50 years ago Francisco Vas

| Spanish soldiers of fortune estab-
Hshed the first military post in this
portion of America and planted the

whole country for the Spanish crown.

will be no water to catch, unless the

of water flowing where the reservoir
was located, but it is a feeble one,

And to Greater Extent

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
March 9, 1908: Commenting on the
fact of selection of Taft delegates in
all Nebraska districts in which con-
ventions have bee held, and asserting
the qualification of Republicans
throughout Nebraska who have al
ready shown their overwhelming
preference for Mr.. Taft the Omaha
Bee passes to consideration of the
platform of the Ohio republicans, as
declared at Columbus, saying:
The platform declarations of the
republicans of Ohio may be accepted
as outlining the platform of the party
that will be adopted at the national
convention if Mr.. Taft is the nominee
for the presidency, and to that extent
are of national significance That
platform reflects Mr.. Taft's we'll
known views and position not only
upon problems that have been solved
or placed in the way of satisfactory
So1uI1ou, pul dlSO upon Qu0SL1OnS OF
which Mr.. Taft has taken advanced
ground without reference to achieve
ments of the present administration.
The declaration of the Ohio plat
form not only reflect the views and
the position of Mr.. Taft, but they re-
fleet the views and position of the
republicans of Ohio in a degree of
unanimity seldom witnessed in a po-
litical campaign in Ohio, began with
bitterness and ended in overwhelm-
ing victory, compelling peace and
harmony as much by Mr.. Taft's mag
nificent fitness as by the shown at
the primary polls that Ohio had but
one candidate for the presidency.
Therefore, and because the repub-
lican platform represents the views
of the party no less than the views of
the candidate of the party, they are
of national significance, and unques-
tionably the Ohio platform will be
the model on which the Chicago plat
form will be constructed-and on
which Mr.. Taft win be nominated.
With Nebraska speaking, and with
the prediction of the Bee that ether
