sTEENERsON'S DRAINAGE BILL.

Representative Steenerson's drainage bill
which has been before congress for some tim e
is likely to be called up at the present session. y
says the Minneapolis Journal.
The bill is proper complement of the irri cation
measures of the general government. IF it is
right to reclaim lands which are too dry, it is
right also to reclaim those which are too wet
aud it is the cheaper way of adding to the arabic
area of the country 1t is as rule easier to
get water off land than to get it on.
THE bill proposes that the drainage fund
shall be raised from the sale of government
lands in several states named in the bill after
June 80, 1905. 1t would be expended only on
such lands as had been examined by the United
States geological servey and approved by the
secretary of the interior. The drained sections
would be sold to homesteaders only in tracts OF
not less than forty Or more than 100 acres. The
cost of drainage would be repaid by the owner
in ten instalments, which would go back into
the drainage fund.
This plan resembles the revolving fund
by which many cities advanced the expences
of permanent Improvements, It is expected
that it will be permanent and kept at par

Judge Ankeny of Minneapolis is
given below:
March IS, 1906.
Mr.. CA. Grettum, Manager Land
Dept. The 0. W. Kerr Co.,
Fargo, N. D.
Dear Sir:
Having learned in Minneapolis
of your large tract of land in
Southern Alberta. l lately made
one of a party Of between 80 and
40 members, most of whom were
farmers wishing to make selections
of Canada lands. have traversed
the region in which your lands lie,
and have no hesitation in saying
that your lands are even better
than you have claimed them to be.
They are gently undulating, have
a fine soil, and-what is of first
nomenclature a clay subsoil of
unusual depth which must ensure
the retention of moisture under
ordinary conditions. The climate
is superb. In driving for days it
was unnecessary to button up
ones overcoat, and generally one
was not needed at all. The Chinook
winds from the Pacific make the
climate, in the succession of seas
ons, mild, healthful and temperate.
To find combined, in ali the broad
limits Of Canada, the same con-
ditions would be difficult if not i'm
possible. The day of cheap land is
rapidly passing and my own con-
viction is that no proper invest
ment in the lands you are now
offering will provet to be mistake.
This opinion is backed by the pur-
chase have made from you and ]
only regret it could not be larger.
Most truly yours,
A. T. ANKENY.
