Description: The newly-completed Elks Temple on J Street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, is the subject of this 1907 postcard. With the appearance of the National Irrigation Congress, the building is adorned with decorations. Arriving in Sacramento in September 1907, the event provided a forum for problem solving in the areas of agriculture and land use. The Sacramento Congress was "to save the forests, store the floods, reclaim the deserts, and make homes on the land."
