Wheat IN Western Canada
A Good Crop Of Excellent Quality Has Been

This year q larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase OF from 10
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield OF last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100 ,0O0,-
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much OF
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt. is also responsible for a
part Of the decreased average yield.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
Government Gets Land Near Irrigation
Project Without Condemning.

An important matter was decided
at Deadwood when a settlement was
made between the Belle Fourche Land
and Cattle company and the men in
charge of the Belle Fourche irrigation
project in regard to the price Of some
land owned by the corporation. The
land and cattle company owns large
acreage adjoining the town of Belle
Fourche, and when work was well
under way on the government diver
sion dam two miles south of town it
became apparent that some of this
land would be overlooked.
Special agent Wallace, acting for the
government, came out to Belle
Fourche ten months ago to look over
the land and to make an agreement
with the owners Cor the price. An
agreement was entered into and an
option signed by which the company
was to receive s11,25O for an absolute
title to ninety-three acres and the
right to overflow forty-nine acres at
the time of high water
Shortly afterward, however, the 10.
cal engineer for the reclamation ad-
wised the department that the price
agreed upon was too high. On July IA
an action was begun by the United
States government to condemn the
land which would be overlooked. The
case was set for this term Of court,
but an understanding has been reached
and the price of $1,000 paid for an alb.
solute title to all land that Is perma-
nently overlooked. about ninety-thr
acres, and the right to overflow an ad.
ditional forty-nine acres in case OF
high water.
