'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.
