Pueblo. colo. Sept. 23.-One of the
| surprises in the way Of assurance If
special parties and special cars and
l|trians to the eighteenth national ir-
! rigation congress came to congress
headquarters when word was received
from Chicago that a party of well-to-
| de farmers and business men from the
middle west. principally from Illinois.
Ohio. Indiana and eastern Iowa, would
be out on q special train and p~artiei-
pate fully in the congress.
These interested spectators ana par
Elephants in the congress viii be under
the c-haperonage of @. l.. WarsOn.
formerly manager Of Irrigation Age,
and now in business in Chicago. 1t is
an excursion: rates have been secured;
, the equipment viii consist of Pull
mar ears and a baggage car; and the
trip win take on many pleasures as
Wei as q great deal of profit To the
participants.
According to Mr.. Warson's plans.

urday and arrive at Rocky Ford Mon
day morning. A trip will be made
through the north Arkansas valley
ana the the cars will be brought to
ENf
Pueblo and parked during the i'm
portant stages of the congress.
There Will be several parties from
the same territory, and several from

The special ear from Florida n the
special trains from the west and south

but the special train from ChlcdSo,
representing that section Of the mid
dle-west adjacent to it. is most sisnifi-
cant, and the news Of it most pleas
ing to the congress management.
Irrigation and the work 1t has ae-
complished under the guidance and
supervision of the national irrigation
congress. which Colonel Roosevelt has
called the greatest development
agency of the land, have seldom re-
ceived "a greater compliment or more
sincere tribute than that contained IN
"a recent letter which United States
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio wrote
an official of the congress here.
The Ohio senator will not be able
to attend the eighteenth sessions of
the congress here next week. but he
writes most encouragement Of the work
already accomplished, which. he SAYS,
reads like 9 tale from Arabian
Nights
Senator Dicks letter follows
In my opinion the questions of
conservation ant irrigation are among
the most important economic ques-
tions facing the people today. The
marvellous wonders already accomp-
lished by irrigation. read like "a tale
from the Arabian Nights. n are
much more interesting. Only hy de-
velopine the irrigation possibilities OF
the western country can the land
