WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of Wheat-At.
tractinG Thousands.

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given To that
vast area OF grain-producing land
lying north of the 49th parallel and
Immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there.
but being unable TO fully occupy il,
they have asked the Americans to
assist ,hem in converting the land
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-produc.
ing area of the North American Con-
tinent. and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada. being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased TO
10000 during the year 1902, and il is
fully expected that there will be fully
10000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian Government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving Informal
ton as to tho advantages OF settle
nent in Canada as il is 10 extending an
invitation to the American TO follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been i'm
duced TO take advantage of the Offer
,ff
have no cause to hesitate in continuing
the invitation. Many Of those interest
ed say there are no more free home
| steads tn be had i'm Canada. but the
writer has most positive assurance
| from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
stoads TO be had, aud in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as

a large ditch at a place where
the water can be taken to the
Missouri river by the shortest
route, providing this route has
sufficient fall.
This ditch should be made
sufficiently large, not only to
carry the water under ordinary
circumstances, but one that
will furnish ample capacity at
any and all times. And if the
dirt which was removed from
this was placed back, say three
rods from the edge of the ditch
it would have a tendency to
keep the bank from caving off
and also serve as a levee in
time of high water.
If the overflow can be taken
care of, it means several thous-
ands of dollars in trade to every
town in this valley. We be-
lieve we are safe in saying that
Mondamin lost $4,000 worth
of trade last year by the high
water. Modale probably lost
as much or nearly so, and we
have very little idea how much
Missouri Valley did lose but it
must have been immense.
There is not merchant in
the western half of Harrison
county who cannot look back
over his books for 1902 and see
the effects of the flood. Then
again we find that the flood
affected almost every manual
laborer who lives on the bottom
no matter whether he lived in
town or country. If he lived
in town he was forced to COM
pete with men who moved out
of the flooded districts in order
that he might earn a living for
his family. The ditch is a dire
necessity and should have the
support of every business man,
farmer and laborer in this
Valley.

DRAINAGE.
(Mondamin Enterprise.

We notice that j. S. Wattles,
'of Mo. Valley, has a place on
the program at Mo. Valley ON
Thursday, Feb. 26th, at which
time he will explain the drain
age proposition. Mr.. Wattles
is an old experienced ditch en-
gincer and will no doubt tell
the people many things they
did not know about this sub
ject.
There is probably no subject
of more vital interest to the
farmers of the west side of the
county than that of proper
drainage.
There is nothing so fatal to
Missouri bottom as the great
amount of water that gushes
from the hill country down on
the level lands of this beautiful
valley. 1t is not the water that
falls on this bottom that does
the damage, but that which
PUSHES from the ravines i'm the
hills in torrents down on our
low lands with no possible way
for it to escape.
The Soldier in an early day
was capable of carrying off the
overflow, but as the small val
leys in the hills were put into
cultivation the soil on the steep
portions of this land began to
wash, and this PROGRESS went on
year by year. The sediment of
these fertile valleys was carried
by the little creeks and rivers
down into the Soldier, there to
settle, because of the sluggish
nature of the stream. This
sediment has been gradually
filling up the bed of the Soldier
until it is only about one-half
as large as it was thirty years
ago. Not only this, but as a
part of it reaches the mouth of
the river and there allowed to
settle, it has gradually filled
up. The mouth of the Soldier
is at least four miles farther
from where it leaves the hills
than it was when this county
was settled.
By digging a large ditch, one
that is sufficiently large to car
ry all the waterfall is received
by it, the velocity of the stream
i will be increased until this con
tinual settling will be prevented
and the water, mud and all
will be carried into the Missouri
river. 1t is the many crooks
and turns that increases the
distance and hinder the speed
of the water. And this car
