Show liGATi CONGRESS WANTS UTAH EXHIBIT Governor Cutler Receives Invitation Invi-tation from Albuquerque Board of Control. The board of governors of the sixteenth National Irrigation congress, which meets at Albuquerque. N. M., S'eptcmber 20 to October 3, inclusive, has extended an Invitation In-vitation to Governor Cutler, that Utah prepare an exhibit and take a prominent part In the gathering. Incident to the Invitation, a tribute is paid to Utah as being a pioneer in tho cause of irrigation and it is urged thai the Slate should bo properly represented. While Utah will be represented at the congress by a delegation. It. Is not likely that the State will prepare an exhibit. Tho last Legislature did not make an appropriation ap-propriation for tho purpose and the only way that an exhibit can now bo prepared Is for, the Interested parties to raise the necessary amount by private subscription subscrip-tion and it is not believed that, this will bo done. The last Legislature appropriated ? 1000 for Ihe Sacramento (Cal.) congress" of 1907 and $7000 additional was raised by private subscription. The Ogdon choir was yent to Sacramento nnd the Stato also had an exhibit there. |
