hill point, lying in wait for the wary
deer. The deer hunters will predoni-
nate in the number leaving today, as

Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of January goth has
been received with clippings AS mat
ter of fact | have done everything in
my power to make these irrigation
congresses a success and at the same
time have endeavored to put as little
personality into the matter as possi.
BILE and keep in the background, as
these meetings should be strictly popu.
lar meetings. AT the same time, it is,
as you appreciate, absolutely impos-
sible not to have the reclamation work
take a prominent part. If we did any
less we would incur criticism for be.
ing lukewarm and unappreciatve of
the subject.
"1n the same way, for the 10th Irri.
cation Congress, | trust that it will
be possible for us to help you in many
details. In so doing, however, we do
mot wish the Reclamation Service to
be unduly prominent, or our men to
be at all conspicuous. In other words,
we desire to help you, make this not
only thoroughly enjoyable but ben.
efcial meeting of practical men from
all parts Of the country.
"You can command us within our
ability to second your efforts along
this line.
Very Truly Yours,
