Of course during the busy period of construction, often without adequate facilities for handling hand-ling and earing for freight these things were likely to occur, but now that we are provided with every convenience, and can give our undivided attention to transportation matters I think I can safely say, that no reasonable complaint can lie made regarding the future! handling of your business, and that all will find it very much to their ad-i vantage to route all freiglit over our line.

NATIONAL IKTUG ATIOX CON (: KICSS The Eighth Annual Session of the National Irrigation Congress will be held at Missoula, Montana, on the 25th, 20th, and 27th of September, and more than usual interest is being manifested. These congresses have been heretofore largely attended by scientists, engineers, engin-eers, and men directly interested in irrigation, but now the subject is attracting at-tracting outsiders business men and manufacturing; interests inallprrts of the country who realize that the opening open-ing up of millions of acres of land into enormous production cannot but stimulate stimu-late business interests in every quarter. It is therefore probable that the coming com-ing congress will be the most successful success-ful yet held. The congress is constituted con-stituted its follows: Five delegates appointed ap-pointed by the governor of each State and Territory: one delegate from each city of the Fnited States having a population of less than 25,000, and two from each city with a larger population: one delegate from any regularly organized organ-ized irrigation, agricultural or horticultural horti-cultural society, society of engineers, irrigation company, agricultural college, col-lege, or commercial body, duly accredited ac-credited representative of any foreign nation or colony, any member of the F. S. Senate or House of Representatives, Represent-atives, or governor of a State or Territory, Ter-ritory, any member of a State or Territorial Ter-ritorial irrigation commission, or the chairman of each section aud the permanent per-manent ollieers of the congress. The citi.ens of Missoula are bound to make the Congress a success so far as lies in their power. They are withal immensely proud of their big State, which produces not on'y immense mineral wealth, but is destined, under 1 irrigation, to be imtvrtaat agriculuir-i agriculuir-i ally!
