of the district.
The statement sets forth the fact
that in 1907 negotiations were be

Canal and Power company. After
a call for bids had been issued it was
found that this company could not
make good and the project was left
stranded" Then rumors began to
float to the effect that the proposed
gravity canal would not water as
much land as had been claimed by
the above named company. Then for
obvious reasons, the directors ar
ranged for an accurate survey of the
entire district and the making of
plans and specifications. On August

semi-arid portions of the country.
A notable feature of the congress
will be the discussion of the report of
a committee appointed at last years
meeting in Sacramento, relative TO
the desirability of organizing an in
ternational congress having broad
er and more comprehensive scope and
covering all matters touching the
conservation and use of natural re-
sources of all the countries of the
globe.
There is keen competition for
places on the resolution committee to
which all resolutions must be re-
ferred. and il is predicted that some
effort will be made to inject into the
resolutions some criticisms of certain
phases of the dministration's fores-
try policy and reference to govern
ment regulations of the public do
main. Nothing of political nature.
however, is likely to find favor with
the congress.
One of the notable features of the
session is the absence of men promi-
nent in political affairs and the pres
enoe of an unusual number of men
who are active workers in the prac-
tical fields on reclamation. A vigor-
Gus fight is under way between Pu-
eblo, Colo. and Spokane. Wash, for
the next session of the congress.
