THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



IRRIGATED FARMS IN THE LITTLE EMPIRE OF 

 THE WESTERN SLOPE. 



Profitable farm lands are scattered all along tho 

 line of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, "Scenic 

 Line of the World." 



In the valleys of the Grand, Gunnison, North Fork 

 and Roaring Fork Rivers, and in the San Luis and Un- 

 compahgre Valleys of Colorado, and the Farmington 

 District of New Mexico farming, stock raising and 

 fruit growing are carried on in a way that is a revela- 

 tion to the farmer in the East. 



For those who desire to make new homes, there is 

 no other region that offers more and better ad- 

 vantages than western Colorado, a land of blue 

 skies and sunshine, with a temperate and even climate, 

 where the erstwhile desert needs but to be tilled and 

 watered in order to verily "Blossom as a Rose." Several 

 illustrated publications, giving valuable information 

 in regard to the agricultural, horticultural and live 

 stock interests of this great western, section, have been 

 prepared by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and 

 can be obtained by addressing S. K. Hooper, G. P. & 

 T. A., Denver, Colo.

 progress to the Sixteenth Congress, at which time it sTiall 

 finally be determined if a Congress at Washington can safely 

 be undertaken with promise of success ; and 



That our sincere and hearty. thanks be extended to the 

 people of California in general, and to the inhabitants of 

 Sacramento in particular, for their cordial welcome and un- 

 failing courtesy, and for that lavish hospitality under which

 uniformly fair consideration and support.

 labor in making this convention foremost in interest and in- 

 structiveness among the sessions of the Irrigation Congress. 

 We also extend our appreciation to all committeemen and 

 city, State and national officials and others, who have con- 

 tributed to the successful results attained.
