cisco is the latest bidder for The Ma
tional irrigation congress in 1910. with
five other active candidates IN the
field as follows: Pueblo. Colo. It.
Louis. Charleston. s. G.; and Roches-
ter. y. Y. These cities will send rep
| resentatiye delegations to the / It'll SEES
sion in Spokane, August 3 70 IA, When
a lively battle is expected, as each is
backed by an influential commercial
| club and has Il large following among
the delegates.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon George Eames BarstoW of Texas,
president, and other officers of the
national association, also r.. lnsinger,
chairman, and members of the local
board of control, to take the 18th SEES
sion east of the Missouri river. The
chief argument advanced is that one
congress in the east would do more
to impress upon the people there the
real value of irrigation to the country
than any h~alf-dozen gatherings In the
west. where the science is known and
practiced.
