1t is reported that the Canadian Pa
cific railroad will soon begin to work
on a vast irrigation project in the
Northwest territories, which are re
ceiving a considerable number of set
tiers from the United States. The an.
nounced intention is to divert the wa
ters of the Bow river to large tract
of country now uncultivated. Canada
should not be allowed to get ahead in
irrigation as well as ship canals.

It win be well worth the visitors
line to spend an hour or so at the
Smelter City Brewery. BY so doing
one will become convinced that Du-
rango brew is as good as there is on
the market. 1t is doubtful if as much
care is exercised by the largest insti-
utiuns. and this largely accounts for
the superiority of the local product

THE SUMMERS OUTLOOK.

Tho Herald is not pessimist. We
believe the present year in Durango
aud Ills southwest section is going
IN h record breaker in many direc-
tn.s. We do not believe the pres
eut labor troubles will be lasting. We
have too much faith in the ultimate
Judgment of wage earners to think
the coal miners are going to remain
out much longer, for by 80 doing they
will work greater hardship upon
themselves and fellow laborers than
upon any one else because we can say
that the coal mines OF this county will
not be operated except at the terms
offered by the operators. which is the
present scale uor tonnage or 50 day
for eight hours. which is full union
wages throughout the mountain dis
tricts for underground work. II the
men do not return to work there can
be no objection to others filling their
places at SO day and union men
working elsewhere cannot object to
coal thus mined. II the operators
were to pay less than the union scale
The Herald would be with the miners
because we are anxious to have the
coal miners and all other laborers re-
ceive good wages. II means better
times Cor every one and better feeling
oxlsts, hut there is n dividing line and
this mus. he decided by sound and
~.$er reasoning. Therefore. The
Herald does not apprehend any long
ddeprsslon. The men will have q
good rest and will be able to work
with vim and everything is going
to move along as heretofore. While
the price of silver and lead is down
with new properties opening up the
ugual number OF miners will be EN-.
