IRRIGATION
CONGRESS IS
GOING WRONG
William X. McAllister Agrees With
the Views of Mr.. Insinger on
the New Policy

Recently the Tribune printed an
open letter from w. A Insinger,
outlining his position relative to the
coming nineteenth annual meeting
of the national irrigation congress
at Chicago. The following letter Is
self explanatory and is herewith
submitted:
Mr.. Kent Grunwald. Secy., The Colo
rado State Advisory Committee,
Nineteenth National Irrigation
Congress, Room 1852 Hotel La
Sale, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
| have your circular letter OF No
| vember 23rd in regard to the Nine
teenth National Irrigation Congress
and the possibility that the name
and efforts of the association may
be changed to drainage congress
of some kind and that it is planned
to hold the next meeting in some
southern city like New Orleans.
This is just about what l expect
ed when the committee decided at
Pueblo last year to hold the Nine
teenth Congress in Chicago. l have
been actively identified with these
congresses for thelast ten years and
have always fought against holding
|any of them east of the Missouri!
river, Notwithstanding that some ol
our wise men" have for several
years been advocating holding the
meetings in Washington, ID. c.
consider the National Irrigation
Congress of immense benefit to our
western states and particularly tc
those states where irrigation is re-
ouired and practiCed and to hold
the congresses east of these west,
ern semi-arid states is certainly
inimical to the best interests OF
those states. l hope that a strong
elfort will be made to counteract the
influence of those who are fighting
for the new name. new efforts and
permanent headquarters east OF
a north and south line drawn
through Cheyenne. Denver. Colorado
Springs, Pueblo, Trinidad, Albu-
querque and Ell Paso.
Very truly yours.
WIN. X. M'ALLISTER.

THE BIG FAIR
ON NEXT WEEK

Next week the real Christmas
festivities will begin as the annual
Catholic fair will open in Cam6eld
hall on Tuesday and continue dur
ing the week. Those who know
what these fairs have been in the
past will be contented with the
mere announcement, since that
means that a week of enjoyment is
in store for young and old. Others
will learn for the first time that
when the girls of ST. Peters church
become interested in an enterprise
for the church that there is some
thing doing every minute.
Indications are that the fair this
year will be the greatest in the his
tory of the church. Everyone who
has part is busy preparing for the
big event and numerous novelties
will add attractiveness to the reg
ular program of joy.

Next Concert VIII Re Held Decem-
ber IL In Sterling Theater-In-
terest in FOrnia's Appear
ance Growing

The first rehearsal of the Phil
harmonic chorus and orchestra to-
gether was held in the main auditor
ium of Presbyterian church Tuesday
night. Practically all of the time
was devoted to St. Johns Eve, the
beautiful cantata that is to be given
at the Sterling theater with the big
orchestra the night of December II,
Owing to the Thanksgiving holi-
days there was not a full attendance
of the chorus or orchestra, many OF
the members being out of the city
for the week. The work of the
two organizations together, how
ever. was sufficient to demonstrate
that a fine rendition of the cantata
may be expected by the public.
More than 100 will participate in
the concert which number, it is be-
lieved. will establish new record
in the employment OF local musical
. talent at a concert.
The orchestra has been rehears-
ing the parts separately, but future
rehearsals before the concert will
be held with the chorus. Professor
Wilcox, who directs the big chorus,
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the first rehearsal of the two
organizations.
The assurance that Madame For
mia will be here in the spring under
the auspices of the Philharmonic
society has stimulated the interest
among music lovers. Photographic
records Of her singing that were in
stock in the city have all been sold
and more have been ordered. AL
though a large guarantee will have
to be given the famous diva. there
will be no raise in the price OF sea-
son tickets for the remaining two
concerts. These will be sold at
$3.50 as first announced.

The question has not yet been

open throttle when attempts were
made of hoisting the engine from
the pit, points to the supposition
that some one in the spirit of mis-

In The Denver Post of November

in which he stated that the Ameri-
can boy prefers to work his way
through college rather than pledge
himself to the ministry and secure
an education practically free
Tho Rev. George Atwater in the
October Atlantic holds an exactly
opposite opinion, for, in his article
entitled THE Ministry: An Over
crowded Profession," he says that,
with due allowance for an excep-
tional condition here and there,
every community has more minis
ters than it needs for the proper
spiritual Development of the people.
You will find one minister for about

William NJ. Raine, commenting on

ing: "The world moves. The
church has followed very slowly and
very tiltidly on account of the fat
florid gentleman in the front pew
with the dollar mark on his vest

In This point Rev. Atwater is of a
