The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1910-09-16

Many prominent OklahOmanS Will
visit Colorado Springs and the Pixies
Peak region at the time of the Eigth-
teenth National Irrigation Congress,
which is to be held in its sister city,
Pueblo, the last week in September.
Because of the proximity of the two
cities, being only As miles distant, it
is expected that large proportion of
the delegates will combine business
with pleasure and will include in their
Colorado trip a few days of sightsee-
ing and recreation at Colorado Springs
Colorado City and Manitou. Low rail-
Eroad rates will be in effect from Okla
homa The many varied scenic at
fractions of the Pixies Peak region are
proving an added inducement to in
crease the attendance at this meeting
which will undoubtedly be one of the
most important of the year. Pueblo
is expecting the greatest attendance in
the history of the National Irrigation
Congress and is making its prepara-
tions accordingly. A program of un-
usual interest has been prepared, many
speakers of national prominence have
been secured, and an exposition which
will afford a remarkable display of ir-
rigated products from all parts of the
country has been arranged.

congress will be j. S. Norris of Hook
