The Executive Committee of the National Fed- 

 eration of Water Users' Association has taken action 

 whereby THE IRRIGATION AGE is created the official 

 organ of this vast organization, representing 1,000,- 

 000 persons on the government irrigation projects. 



The editor of THE IRRIGATION AGE 

 Salt Lake City returned recently from a trip to Salt 

 Future Home Lake and Los Angeles and com- 

 of The Irriga- pleted arrangements while in Salt 

 tion Age Lake City for the removal of the 



plant of THE IRRIGATION AGE to that 

 city from which point it will be issued beginning 

 with the October, 1917, issue, which will appear in 

 double its present form and number of pages. This 

 move has been under consideration for the past 15 

 months and was only brought to a definite conclu- 

 sion during the recent visit as above stated. 



The plan of the publisher is to work in connec- 

 tion with all of the Water Users' Associations of 

 the various Federal projects and close relations will 

 be established with the Water Users under all Carey 

 Act, District and private projects and arrangements 

 are now under way to establish headquarters in that 

 city for a gathering place for all interested in irriga- 

 tion as well as a meeting place of the annual con- 

 gress of the Federation of Water Users. 



The writer is in communication with Mr. O. W. 

 Farnham of Newell, South Dakota, and has re- 

 quested that he join in a trip to each project, 26 in 

 all, with a view to reorganize the Federation on 

 broader lines so that a preliminary meeting may be 

 held in Salt Lake City this Autumn when officers 

 will be elected and organize a general plan of opera- 

 tion so that annual congresses may be held in that 

 city in September or October of each year. 



The inducements for moving this publication to 

 Salt Lake City are many ; among which and most 



prominent is the fact that this city is located in the 

 geographical center of all irrigation activity in the 

 United States. This move will, moreover, bring the 

 editors in closer touch with the leading experts in 

 irrigation who are to be found at the universities of 

 the states west of the Missouri River. It will be 

 the aim of the editor to secure the co-operation of 

 the brighter minds in this field so that articles con- 

 cerning their research and development may be pub- 

 lished in each issue of this journal. 



A general notice will be sent out later giving 

 date of transfer of THE IRRIGATION AGE to this new 

 field. 



It may interest our friends to know that we 

 have received a guarantee of 50,000 new subscribers 

 in the Intermountain territory within one year of 

 the date of the establishment of this journal in Salt 

 Lake City 



Hon. F. W. Mondell, Congressman 

 Wyoming "rom Wyoming, is a candidate to 



Candidate succeed Senator Warren of that state 



For who has announced he will not run 



Senate again. 



This is good news to those who 



know Frank W. Mondell and who are familiar with 

 his history and his efforts to aid in a clean develop- 

 ment of our Western Empire. It is safe to say that 

 no member of Congress has worked harder for his 

 state and the west during the past 16 years than 

 has Mr. Mondell. 



The Editor of THE IRRIGATION AGE sincerely 

 hopes that he may succeed Senator Warren.
