EIGHTEENTH NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS 



SEPTEMBER 26 TO 3O, 191O 



PUEBLO. COLORADO March 31st, 1910. 



My Dear Mr. Anders on: - 



The Board of Control of the Eighteenth National Irrigation Congress, 

 Pueblo, Colorado, September 26th-30th, 1910, realizes the fact that 

 IRRIGATION AGE is the foremost publication in irrigation and development 

 work in the country, and one of the leading journals in the West in 

 every particular. The Board of Control appreciates the work of IRRIGATTON 

 AGE in the past twenty-five years, and the great service it lias rendered 

 in the cause of irrigation. The publication itself, and you as an in- 

 di^idual, who helped organize the National Irrigation Congress, and 

 served it so ably as secretary, certainly have a fixed status with re- 

 spect, to the Congress, which has now entered such a large 'and important 

 field in this country. 



The Board of Control realizes that in years past a great attention 

 has been attracted to the congress for that year by means of unusual 

 efforts made by your publication, and particularly by some special 

 editions of IRRIGATION AGE. These have forced attention upon the Congress, 

 its purpose and what it expected to do by reason of the high character 

 of these editions, and the splendid enthusiasm with which- you entered 

 into the work. 



It is, therefore, with pleasure, that the Board of Control recog- 

 nizes IRRIGATION AGE as the official publication, and expresses the 

 hope that it will see fit this year, as in former years, to put out one 

 or more special editions, inviting attention to the work of the National 

 Irrigation Congress, and to the Eighteenth sessions to be held in the 

 city of Pueblo, September 26-30, 1910. 



Very respectfully yours, 



(SIGNED) P. J. DUGAN, CHAIRMAN. 



Mr. D. H. Anderson, (SIGNED) R. Ti. FAXON, SECRETARY.
