EGATEs AND Ex-Gov. ADAMS
DELIVERS ADDRESS.

Pueblo.-The National Irrigation
Congress opened Monday under the
most favorable auspices. the apparent
disposition being to attend to the work
for which the congress is organized
and to eliminate factionalism as much
as possible.
Governor Shafroth in his speech Of
welcome said that he had been pres
ent at the first Irrigation Congress
in Salt Lake City in 1891, not as a
delegate but as an interested specta
tor. He declared that the congress
had exerted a good influence on the
national legislature at Washington; an
influence that led directly TO the max
ing of the irrigation laws which the
governor said the people had much
reason TO be proud of.
''Nine-tenths of the water that falls
in Colorado leaves Colorado" Governor
Shafroth said. NO adequate attempt
has been made until recently 10 retain
these waters within the state, for state
use. realize 1t will not be long be.
fore every drop that falls IN Colorado
will be retained excepting that taken
out under prior appropriations"
The governor pointed out the fact
that the eyes of the world are focused
on the Western irrigation states be-
cause of the wonders that are made
possible only by state conservation OF
state water. For the benefit of dele
gates from other states and from for.
eign countries the governor devoted a
few minutes to an exposition of what
irrigation had done and is expected to
do for Colorado. He quoted statistics
which must have been startling to per
sons not already familiar with the
facts. In conclusion the governor invit-
ed the delegates to see for themselves
some of the best agricultural and hor.
ticultural districts OF Colorado before
going back to their homes. He hoped
they would visit Denver. too.
Mayor Fugard of Pueblo delivered
short. well-worded address on behalf
OF the city.
President Fowler responded elo
quently to both welcoming addresses
at once, and then he read m ssage
from President Taft as follows:
Il regret that my official duties pre-
vent my presence at the National Irri.
CATION Congress. as II would be plea.

members and to show my regard for
the policies for which II stands and

press to the congress my thanks and
the thanks OF the country for what
