Millions of dollars will be expended

each farmer and laborer will have a
chance to get work at remunerative

cost of construction doubtless seems
high but the government knows that it
pays to build we'll. and with the best
possible construction. there will be the
smallest possible cost for maintainance.

OF the scheme. But we do want to
emphasize the fact that we who have
land on the prairies Of North Dakota
for more than q years past know that
it is impossible to depend upon the
natural rainfall for paying crops year n
and year out. By government irIiga.
ton you are practically insured of a
crop that will net you from three to ten
times what you get out of your land
now, and you are allowed to pay the
insurance out of the crop raised. The
government loans you the money with.
out any interest and let's you pay it
back in ten equal annual installmeuts
with couple Of years Of grace if neces.
sary. 1t means thousands OF dollars in
the pocket Of every homesteader whose
land can be irrigated. What are you
going to do about it? 1t will pay each
and everyone Of You to look into it.
With government irrigation Williams
county will be the richest and most

Are the people of this county going to

the way OF irriaating certain portions Of
our county, when the plan IS found to
be feasible, Is question OF supreme
Importance to US just now. 1t is up to
the land owners and claimants of goy-

opinion that if all of the people could
thoroughly understand the scheme.
there would be but one answer, and
that would be a favorable one. We

Williston'e best and most conservative

thorough study of the project and whose
business success is largely dependent on

all are heartily In favor of the scheme.
aud they do not hesitate to endorse the
project as forcibly a. they can. Their
interests are dependent upon the in

President Roosevelt considers The
Reclamation Act the most beneficial t.
the people that has been passed by
Congress since laws were passed giving
us free homesteads. This Reclamation
Act, like the homestead law, was passed
for the benefit ofthe poor man, 50 that
he might make good and comfortable
living for himself aud family. In this
law there is no chance for graft or
greed. The poor man can hold as
much land as his rich neighbor, land
grabbers and land companies do not
come in for any share in this scheme.
The profits to he obtained from, irrigated
land are so much greater than those
from unirrigated land, that they need
hardly be mentioned here. ralk to any
one who has seen irrigated land in the
west when it is properly conducted and
they will tell you OF its benefits. But

Canada, where the government is also
going into. the reclamation Of land by
irrigation on large scale, we are told on
reliable authority thatspro6ts are made
on land to exceed $4,000 per acre

least equally good.:-. What do such
figures mean? What do any figures

Of irrigation in other states, say that
