won the prize.
The Ode was first sung at the Og-

by the ogden choir at the worlds fair
at Portland in 1905. The same body of
singers sang the ode at Sacramento at
the irrigation congress held in that city
in 1907. Upon that occasion the rem
dition of the number was grand sue

and Senator Perkins personally paid
the author of the composition a high
compliment for his work.
THE piece was sung last year at the
congress held at Albuquerque n. NJ, by
year it was again rendered, and seems
to haze become by tacit understanding
part OF the proceedings Of each sue
ceeding session of the Irrigation con-
gress.
