the great work remaining to be done. Ocular demonstra- 

 tions of the truth will be found at the United States Land 

 and Irrigation Exposition at the Coliseum, November 18 

 to December 9. 



Provision has been made for giving exceptional atten- 

 tion to drainage, both in connection with irrigation proj- 

 ects and for the reclamation of swamp and overflow lands 

 in the humid as well as in the more arid portions of the 

 country. The International Live Stock Exposition will be 

 held December 2 to 9. The Chicago Grand Opera will 

 delight and entertain the music lovers. The great city 

 will be in holiday attire in fitting celebration of the won- 

 ders accomplished through the Chicago spirit "I Will." 



Delegates should notice particularly the opportunity 

 this trip will give to visit numerous places of national 

 interest. Full information can be secured from the secre-

 during the time of the congress an information bureau 

 will be conveniently located for the benefit and informa- 

 tion of delegates and visitors. 



It is desired to enroll you as a fellow laborer in the 

 great constructive work to which the congress is dedi- 

 cated.

 ments if a piece of burlap or canvas is made fast to one 

 end on the inside of the lateral and the other end to fall
