send 1000 People to Spokane
send In Your Name at Once.
As the result of the first days work
by the committee appointed by the
Fifty Thousand club to secure the
nucleus of a delegation to the Ma
tional Irrigation congress in Spokane
August 9-14, the heads of no less
than so firms and business houses
have stated their willingness and de-
sire to either attend the big irrigation
meeting themselves or send repre-
sentatives. This alone assures the
club of a special train.
Enthusiasm Everywhere.
The committee composed of w. l..
Lemon and H. H. Andrews met with
almost unbounded enthusiasm every
where. Everyone seemed intensely
interested in the congress and with
out exception everyone recognized the
importance of a big delegation from
Yakima. There was not a single eX-
ception to the support accorded and
in only two or three instances of fail
ure to secure promises of co-opera-
ton from firms which were visited
are of record. In those cases the sea-
son of the year or vacation plans al
ready made prevented support of the
delegation.
In a few cases the promise to at
tend the congress was conditional, but
in each case it was stated by the man
signing the roster that only unfore
seen and impossible conditions would
prevent him from either attending in
tafi Two
To Secure Parade Badge.
]. L. Hughes is racking his brain to
design an appropriate badge or dis
tinctive hat band to be used by those
attending the congress. 1t is thought
to be too late now to have white suits
made, but some design will be de-
cided upon that will set off the Yak
ina valley contingent in satisfac-
tory way. At the meeting of the
Boosters club on Friday afternoon
the badge committee and the float
committees will report.
Special Train.
The special train to convey the
Yakima boosters to the congress is
practically assured with the showing
made by the first days work of the
committee. In the fist of those who
have promised a representation are
the leading business houses of the
city and there are many more TO De
seen In addition there is the contin-
gent from the lower valley and the
contiguous districts which are yet to
be heard from. If present indica-
tons are a true barometer, Yakima
county will land in Spokane on the
9Th day of August with no less than
1000 boosters. To secure this repre-
sentation the contiguous territory
will be canvassed during the next few
DAYS and the necessity of big rep
resentation impressed upon all ranch
ers and business men. The adVant-
ages of the congress and it's result to
the Yakima valley as whole ana 10
each individual in particular have al
ready been pointed out through the
columns of the Herald. Every rancher
and resident who is able to accom-
pany the Yakima delegation to Spo-
kane is urged to send his or her name
to the Commercial club Immediately.
