million of dollars for the prosecution of
the Water Works. This may be re-
garded as an earnest that this great un-
dcrtaking will be eventually completed
Operations thereon will be resumed as
soon as the season will permit, and they
will be conducted upon an extensive scale
A large number of hands will be en-
ployed, opening market to the farmers
of that portion of our county. which will
pay better than those to which they have
been accustomed to carry their produce.
With such prospect before them, they
will Immediately 60 to work to raise ear
ly vegetables, of all sorts, in greater guam
titles than usual, for which they will re-
ceive good prices. Nor will they conine
their extra exertions to the raising of
vegetables alone for this market; but. as
all kinds of marketable produce will be
in requisition, we expect to sec unusual
activity and rivalry among our farmers in
every branch of agriculture.
In many respects this is great work
to our people, especially to those in its
immediate vicinity. 1t will enhance the
value Of their lands and contribute to
their prosperity in variety of ways
ESr After the deepest snow of the
season, to the depth of sixteen inches
upon level, the weather has again be-
come springy and balmy, and it is to be
hoped and expected that it will SO con-
tinue. Although so late in the season,
very few of our farmers have made much
progress in their ploughing, owing to the
hardness of the past winter and the
wetness Of the spring thus far. If the
weather should hold on as at present, in
few days they can 60 at it with rush,
and be in time for all their spring crops.
The wheat generally is looking as
aourishing as could be expected under all
the hardships it has endured, and should
nothing untoward hereafter befall it, il
is quite likely an average crop will be
harvested.
ESr The fishing season will soon open
! in full, and the indications are that this
indispensable luxury will be abundant
: and upon terms that will place it within
} the reach of all
, As the Water Works will be going OF
. this spring and summer, the Great Falls
always place of great resort, will be
come a place of unusual attraction t,
. those who have been in the habit o
$ drawing from their depths the severa
t species of the inny tribe aboundin,
therein. ~ 1921

The impression prevails to some extcn
that the Democrats have already choscl
sufficient number of members 10 insur
majority in the next House of Repre-

not only erroneous, but that they hav
