If Not. Why Not?

Very few of our citizens realize the
full significance Of the greatness and
possibilities Of Jackson Lake reservoir
Apparently the most sanguine do not
realize the intrinsic value of this res
ervoir and its 1900 sO-acre water rights.
Nay, even the enterprising people who
constructed it seem TO have little con-
ccption of its real value. Some of our
farmers who are lucky enough to own
land covered by water rights from
Jackson lake are nearer to a knowl-
edge of its value than any one else.
We refer to those who would have
sold their land for 5000 an acre be-
fore they acquired the reservoir water,
but who are now holding their land
thus watered at 800. 90 an acre.
1t isa plain, obvious fact that if land
not possessing jackson lake water
rights will only bri lg 81 ,COO.OO for 80
acres and . acre tract with such wat
er right will bring ss.OO0OO, that one
SO-acre water right in jackson lake
reservoir Is absolutely worth Four
THOUSAND DOLLARS-and that right
only cost the farmer one hundred and
siXty-one dollars. And this is not all
the land covered with reservoir water
will still further advance in value
from year to year as its earning capac-
ity is increased by the use of storage
water. There are hundreds Of acres
OF land in Weld comfy having no res
ervolr water right which can now be
bought for 5000 an acre Or even less,
while in the open market the same
land covered by reservoir water is
bringing from one to two hundred dol
lars an acre.
Think of it. Eighty acres of land
worth $4,000. 90 without reservoir wat
er actually brings sl6,0OO.0O with the
addition Of one reservoir right
Twelve Thousand Dollars for the res
ervoir right alone.
This reads kind O. nutty-like, but
who can disprove it?-Fort Morgan

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION.
H Is Issued Against striking FIcsscn-
ger Boys Mt Chicago.

ern railroad, the shooting of two pos

was pulling out. Before it was un-
der good headway Paris entered the
postal ear and opened fire on Clerks
j. Il. Stockton and a. j. Bass, killing
Stockton instantly and woundng
Bass in the arm. The negro seized a
package of registered letters and
jumped Off.
In leaving the train he fell and one
leg was crushed under the wheels,
but he managed to drag himself
three miles. Bloodhounds were Sc
cured and their scent led to the cap
ture of Paris at daylight.

WESTER CANAD RE.
SOURCES.
Farming Very Successful.


BY Western or Northwest Canada is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west Of ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana
Part of 1t is agricultural prairie, treeless
in places, park like in others, part is
genuine plains, well adapted to cattle
ranches; part requires irrigation for
successful tillage, most of 1t does not.
The political divisions of this region are
the Province of Manitoba and the terri
torial district of Assiniboia, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and Athabask. At
present, however, the latter is too re-
mote for immediate practical purposes.
The general character of the soil of
Western Canada is rich, black, clay
loan with clay subsoil. Such a soil is
particularly rich in food for the wheat
plant. The subsoil is a clay, which re-
tains the winter frost until it is thawed
out by the warm rays of the sun and
drawn upward to stimulate the growth
of the young wheat, so that even in dry
seasons wheat is good crop The clay
soil also retains the heat of the sun later
in the summer, and assists in the early
ripening of the grain. 1t is claimed that
cultivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several de-
grees, as we'll as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good-cold
in winter; hot in summer, but with cool
nights Violent storms of any kind are
rare. The rainfall is not heavy. 1t
varies with places, but averages about
II inches. 1t falls usually at the time
the growing crops need it.
The department of the interior, OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established at
different points throughout the United
States who will be pleased to forward an
Atlas of Western Canada, and give such
other information as to railway rate,
ETC., as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
monials given by farmers. The follow
ing is an extract made from letter from
farmer near Moose Jaw:
"At the present time l own sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses, and
large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in In the spring
quite fat. a man with money judicious-
ly expended will make a competence
very shortly. l consider in the last six
years the increase in the value of my
land has netted me forty thousand dol
lars"
