Spokane. March 25.-Delegates from the southern states to the meeting of the national irrigation congress in Spokane the second week in August probably will make a concerted effort to have the eighteenth sessions of the organization take place somewhere in the south.
James Cosgrove of Charleston, S. C. secretary of the sanitary and drainage commission for Charleston county, intimates this in a letter to Arthur Hooker, secretary of the local board of control of the seventeenth congress. He says:
"I would like to have you think over the proposition to have the sessions after the Spokane mceting somewhere in the south. Personally. I believe Charleston would be the right place and I have no doubt that our people would arrange to entertain the delegates royally.'
Mr. Cosgrove says that it will be a pleasure for him and the residents of Charleston to take up with their representatives in congress the matter of the invitation to the president to attend the congress in Spokane, adding:
'I trust we will be able to have President Taft attend the sessions, as I recognize it will be of inestimable benefit to all who attend to have him deliver an address."
Regarding the reference to having the 1910 congress in the south, Mr. Hooker said:
"The proposition submited by Mr. Cosgrove is a novel and an attractive one and if formally presented to the congress by our southern friends, I am of the opinion that the delegates would give it every consideratinon."
