Mrs. Samuel Spry, the wife of the alb
sconding city official stated that he

minutes for the Klondike, and closed
as follows:

Ward is the possessor of a township
plat and locates individuals on quarter
sections for a consideration of $40
each. He advances several plans tor
securing water to irrigate these arid
lands. One contemplates having the
government appropriate one million
dollars for this purpose and another
is to drive a tunnel into nearby
mountain peak. Wards theory is
that enough water would run out OF

which embraces several thousand
acres. However desirable it may be to re
claim these lands it must be apparent
that both of the above mentioned
schemes are purely visionary and inn
practicable at this time.
