The biennial convention OF the

of the United States, Canada and

Columbus, Ohio, tomorrow. At the
coming session seven hundred and
fifty subdivisions will be represented
by delegates. This division is repre-
scented at the convention by William
French of Missouri Valley, who was
sent east by the Fremont division
Councilman C, j. IHbben was orig
inally elected to represent the Elk
horn or Norfolk division but was un.
able to attend. These conventions
always attract a great number of Wis
iting engineers and their families, in
addition TO the regular delegates, fully
ten thousand having attended the Los
Angeles convention four years ago,
with nearly that many at Memphis,
Tenn, in 1906. Owing to the large
attendance and the fact that the ses-
sions usually last from three to five
weeks, much rivalry exists among the
cities contrasting for the next conven-
ton.
