While the policy of the congress is shaped at each 

 session by the state delegations the continuity of the or- 

 ganization and the efficiency of its work are influenced 

 largely by the permanent delegates provided for by Article 

 VI, Section 2, of the constitution; and members interested 

 in the permanency of the congress are earnestly invited 

 to become permanent delegates. 



All foreign governments have been invited to send 

 representatives to the congress. The hearty responses 

 from foreign governments at previous congresses have 

 made the foreign representation an important feature of 

 the organization. The increasing interest promises large 

 representation this year. 



The program will include addresses and papers by ex- 

 perts in irrigation, drainage and forestry; foreign dele- 

 gates, governors of states and territories, senators and 

 representatives in the federal congress, public officials and 

 eminent citizens, statesmen and scientists, industrial and 

 financial leaders, officials -of federal and state irrigation 

 projects, officials of private irrigation enterprises, leaders 

 in drainage reclamation and others. 



It is planned to make this a practical, live congress, 

 and to secure the desired results from the consideration 

 and discussion of the questions in which the delegates are 

 interested, it is necessary that the delegates come pre- 

 pared to discuss briefly and to the point the questions 

 which come before the congress. Discussion is an im- 

 portant feature of the program and will be encouraged. 



The governor of each state and territory in the Union, 

 together with his staff, has been invited to be present on 

 Governors' Day, for which a session of the congress will 

 be set apart. 



No previous congress has offered the many oppor- 

 tunities afforded by the coming nineteenth meeting. 



Chicago is the center of a vast territory -with millions 

 of people "land hungry" and eager to learn of oppor- 

 tunities to secure homes on the land. The congress will 

 tell of the wonders accomplished through reclamation and 



HEADGATE LIFTS 



ARE THE KEYS TO YOUR WATER SUPPLY 



The control, regu- 

 lation, and econom- 

 ical distribution of 

 your water supply 

 depends upon the 

 adaptability, power 

 and convenience of your 

 headgate lifts. When not 

 properly designed and 

 made, lifts lack power 

 to handle headgates 

 under any and all conditions. If lifts 

 are difficult to operate, or do not permit 

 quick and close adjustment, it means 

 loss of time which, during the irrigating 

 season, is often as valuable as the water 

 itself. 



Making a specialty of headgates and head- 

 gate lifts, and having special patterns and ma- 

 chinery for their manufacture, I can furnish 

 headgates and lifts especially adapted to indi- 

 vidual requirements, and can quote close prices. 

 My complete Catalogue ] shows Northwestern Head- 

 gate Lifts for gates of any kind, any size, for any pur- 

 pose, and any pressure.
