school Dehale

The young people of the high
school had quite an exciting de-
bate last Friday afternoon, when
the question of the annexation of
Canada was ably discussed by
the following members of the
senior and sophomore classes for
the affirmative, Frank Lowthian,
Goldie Stafford, Ellen Johnson,
Ernest Hacke. The negative side
of the question was supported
by representatives Of the junior
and freshmen classes as follows:
Minnie Morley, Thomas Kelly,
Bessie Downie, Gertrude Ely.
The judges were Rev. E. Fem
Lyman. Geo. S. Rix, Esq, and
Mrs. w. H. Scott, and the de-
cision was in favor of the mega
tive, so that the question is now
settled, and the poor Canadians
will have to stay out in the cold
at least until those freshmen
graduate.

Consolidated April IL, 1890

The government fund available for
irrigation in the west is now about
rs million dollars and constantly in
creasing from the sales of western
public lands. Some of this money is
already being set in motion in. the
building of great irrigation systoms
and as soon as these are completed
the money will return to the fund
under the provision of the law which
requires the settlers to pay back the
cost of construction. This plan is
received with satisfaction by the west
and it is such pre-eminently business
proposition for the east-the govern
ment getting back all its money-that
as the plan becomes known it is re-
ceived with entire favor. The only
thing now is to keep the irrigation
service out of politics. 1t has started
off on an unusually high plane and this
is worrying some of the politicians
who desire to see money spent in their
localities whether there are any feasible
irrigation projects or not. They de-
sire to pose before their constituents
as making fight to secure the build
ing of irrigation works without the
necessity for the settlers to pay back
the cost to the government. An early
quietous should be placed on any such
attempts at legislation.
