These American agents have coloniEa-

2duced rates of transportation to show
them what we have to SELL
+ In the meantime the lands are offered

irrigation project as far as 1t is COM
pleted. Taking carriages. we drove for
miles over tho prairie, riding at times
along the embellishments of the main
canal. which Is sixty feet wide at the
bottom. ten feet deep and takes from

and the scenes were much like those /

hundreda.Gf horses scooping up the
prairie. tftre. wste great steam shoyels
gouging oht the earth and loading 1t
upon cars, and there were long train
loads of excavaied material moving on
the temporary tracks from one place to
another. The soil is harder to work than
that OF the Culebra cut. Culebra is
made OF n shaly rock, and n single blast
may loosen many tons. Hero the earth
is a conglomerate of sticky clay and
great houiders which have consistency
something like soft taffy or half worked
putty. 1t gives little resistance and some
parts have to be blasted over and over
again. The stuff Is OF such a nature that
the steam sllove!s cannot work In 1t

OF excavation Is great.

CALGARY, ALBERTA, March 12.-By
I'LL odds the higgest irrigation project
on the North American continent is now
under way In this province of Alberta. In
1900 all tho irrigated lands of the United
States did not amount to 100000 acres.
BY this scheme Canada Will redeem q NIL
lion and a half acres Of semi-desert, and
that by private parties without govern
mont aid. The work has been undertaken
by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. which
has exchanged part of Its land grant
for 10000 acres lying Between here
and Medicine Hat. OF this. 100000 acres
will be put under water and the bal
ance will be sold to the irrigated land
owners for pasture and mixed farming.
This tract of irrigated land is almost
as great as all the irrigated lands of
Colorado or California. 1t is more than
twice that OF Utah, Idaho or Wyoming
and many times that OF any other
western state.
This work Is now going on. One hun
bred and ten thousand acres arc now
ready for the turning on OF the water.
and double that amount will be added
this year The project will he handled
in blocks Of 10oO,00O acres each, and 1t
will be continued until the whole tract is
redeemed and settled. Altogether, IT
means supplying homes to something
like 10000 families, and with the towns
and other industries which will be built
up along the line 1t ultimately means the
addition of about 10000 people to Cam
ada's population.
In the Great American Desert.
The lands to be redeemed are part OF
what was once known as the Great
American Desert. This runs northward
through the western part OF the United
States and on into Canada.

There is more water here than In our
tributary country. but there are dry
seasons, which make the lands unfit for
ordinary farming, although winter wheat
is now being raised on much of 1t. For
the past fifteen years the Canadian gov
eminent has had engineers at work taxi
ing the levels, measuring the streams and
locating reservoirs. From such surveys
1t has been found that there are 20, 10000
acres of semi-arid land which need irri-
cation occasionally II they are to be
used for farming. The government en-
Eineers estimate that 9Oe0,ooo acres can
easily be reclaimed, and that they9will
have an unfaiing supply of water from
the Saskatchewan and it's tributaries II
the proper works are made.
The land of the Canadian Pacific
scheme lies in solid block on both sides
of the railroad between Calgary and
Medicine Hat. 1t is flat Or slightly roll
ing prairie. and Is now used for grazing.
The strip is 1870 miles long. running back
for some miles on each side OF the track.

The day is not far distant when
the world will look to the vast forests

emily limitless supply must some day
be exhausted. There is big guam
tity there yet, as the manufacturing in
these regions is quite limited, but
