cation ditch. seventy-ouc miles long
fed by the waters Of the st. Mary's
river, Is TO bring large tract Of land
under cultivation. The Alberta lrri.
cation company, syndicate OF Eng
lish capitalists, is constructing this
canal at a cost OF 100000. A contract
was made between this company
whereby colonists from this state aud
Idaho will be furnished work ON this
canal at si.55 for man and from IS
to 81 for man and team. Half Of this
amount is to be paid in cash. the other
half In land at 81 per acre. In addi-
