where the National Irrigation Congress
, will have its 17th sessions.
'To save the forests, store the floods,
reclaim the deserts and makes homes
on the land," are the four primary ob
jects outlined in the official call, issued
by George E. Barstow of Barstow,
Tex., president, B. A. Fowler of
I'hoenix, Ari., secretary of the national
organization, and R. Insinger, chair
man, and Arthur Hocker secretary of I
the local board of control, adding.
"We aim to demonstrate to the west
the wonderful development possible
through irrigation, drainage, forestry,
deep waterways, good roads and home
building, and to show to the east the
economic importance, to the whole
country of this development."
Arrangements have been made by the
board of control for the entertainment
of 4,000 accredited delegates, in ad
dition to which it is expected there will
be between 35,000 and 40,000 visitors
from the irrigated districts in Kansas,
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Texas, Caii"
fornia, Nevada, Oklahoma, Idaho, New
Mexico, Oregon and Washington and
the provinces of British Columbia, Al
berta and Manitoba, and from districts
in the middlewestern, southern and
eastern and New England states, where
forestry, deep waterways, drainage
and good roads are the chief problems
in the development of the countrv.
The regular program will consist of
addresses by officials of the reclama
tion, forestry and agricultural depart
ments of the United States, statesmen
and scientists, railroad and financial
men, promoters of the Carey act re
clamation projects and officials of pri
vate irrigation enterprises. The call
says:
"Speakers will be allotted to exceed
not 20 minutes on any one subject and
addresses will be followed by general
discussions by delegates, limited to
five-minute talks.
"It is planned to make this a practical,
live congress for the consideration and
discussion of the question in which
the delegates are interested and whose
action will be of great value in the pro
motion of the objects for which this
congress is working."
The federal department of agriculture
has taken charge of a 20-acre tract of
land in the Spokan valley, where there
will be demonstrations of the latest ap
proved methods of supplying the Foil
with moisture by artificial means
demonstrated by irrigation experts.
In this connection the call states the
following:
"The selection of Spokane was pe
culiarly fortunate for this congress, as
it provides every opportunity for the
study of all methods of irrigating and
various systems of irrigation projects.
Within a few minutes car ride of the
city are gravity canal systems, pipe
distribution of water and modern elec
trical pumping plants.
"The irrigated areas in Idaho, Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington produce
every kind of fruit and vegetable that
can be grown in the semitropic zone,
also the perfection of the red apple, as
was demonstrated at the first National
apple show in Spokane in December,
1008."
The board of control will maintain
free information departments for the
convenience of delegates and visitors,
and it is officially announced there will
be no advances in rates at hotels during
the convention.
Th onen air features of the con
gress will be the parade of the Irriga
tion Army of 10,000 and the industrial
parade, in which Indians from four of
the reservations in the Northwest will
participate. In the latter it is designed
to show the progress of the western
country in the last quarter century.
