following interesting story. sent
out from this city, accompanies
the picture:
Grand Junction, Colo, Oct. 27.-
The Western Slope Development Con-
gress, which convenes here November
10 and II, will enjoy the unique dis
tinction of being the largest and per-
haps the only congress of its kind
devoted, as it will be. entirely to the
topics of conservation, irrigation,
freight rates and development prof.
ects of the intermountain country, in
which women will sit as delegates
with equal votes with the men. The
governors of Colorado. Utah. Wy
oming, New Mexico and Arizona,
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger.

chard. chief statistician of the recla-
nation service, and other men of

tation to send representatives to the
congress and speakers to participate
in the program.
Mrs. Sprigg Shackleford. n promi-
nent society leader of this city. is
president of the federation, and it
was largely through her instrument
tality that this unique privilege was
accorded the gentler sex. over 800
delegates are expected to be present
from every city and town in the great
intermountain country between the
Rockies and the Wasatch. and the
women will form no inconsiderable
part OF the representation.
In many other ways the congress
will be unique. 1t is probably the
first one, at which dozens of scat
tered communities will unite in the
common cause of Community boost
ing and the exploitation of the un-
told natural resources which this vast
region contains
A vigorous protest against the
prevailing freight rates will likewise
be registered, coupled with an ur-
gent request for the earliest prac-
ticable construction of the North and
South railroad connecting the Union
Pacific in Wyoming with the branch
of the Southern Pacific at Durango,
Colo. and with the Santa Fe at
Gallup, n. M. which will open up a
vast deal of at present isolated coun-
try. give an easy and short connec-
tion with the Gulf and forever settle
