Irrigation In Southern Alberto
Canadian Pacific To Reclaim 100000 Acres

spells" The very WetteSt nave oc-
casiona seasons when no rain fall
and all crops fail Without irriga-
ton the farmer is at the mercy of the
weather. 1t makes or breaks him.
With irrigation, he controls his crop
growths, and there can be no whole
sale disaster.
But the effect goes beyond mere in
surance against crop failure. 1t
means big crops and sure crops.
That is the reason why irrigation mas
come into vogue in Wisconsin, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and some of the New England
states, as we'll as in the Western states
where rain falls only in a rainy sea-
son." 1t is the same reason that lies
back of the action of the city man
who sprinkles his lawn and waters
his garden and his shade trees. 1t
gives him just what the farmer geUs
out of unoccupied lands in America,
and these lands must, in the course
of the next quarter century, become the
home of large population, whose bust
nesss it shall be to furnish bread
stuffs and meats to half a world.
Therefore the government is looking to
it that settlement shall be SO guided
and aided as to get from the land
the most that is in it, wisely and with
knowledge, and with full accomoda-
ton to the largest number of pro-
ducers, without crowding.
Because there are many millions of
idle acres now it does not follow that
acreage may be wasted, or the abil-
ity of an acre to produce healthily be
left untried. The empire of which
Canada is part has had long and wide
experience in colonization, and the
lessons so learned are being applied
on this new ground, SO that the fu-
ture may bring it fifty and fully to it's
place in the life of great race. The
settler is to be given the chance to
profit by the most that an acre is
easily capable of yielding, rather than
to cultivate many acres with no
greater result than he may more
readily secure by wisely cultivating
one.
Thus the whole scheme of this vast
irrigation block is a demonstration on
tremendous scale of the possibili-
ties of intensive farming, offering i'm
mediate benefits to those who come in
and occupy the land, but going i'm
measurably far INTO the making or
prosperity for the future. Because
this is so I have given a somewhat
lengthy description of the tract itself.
Here colonization methods are fixed
and established, and the soundness of
the theories on which the work is
carried on is being adequately demon
strated day by day.

A ditch to drain a 5,0O0-acre tract
in Skagit comfy, about six miles long
by two wide, is to be constructed.
The amount of assessed benefits is
$4,000 and the estimated cost of the
improvement is $4,000. The ditch
system provides lateral or spur bitches
for each individual tract of land. A
powerful pumping plant to cost $4,000,
will be established at the mouth of

From The Omaha Bee
Denison today defeated the Ameri.
cans Of Omaha in fourteen innings,
which were played in just one hour
and forty minutes. It was a pitchers
battle. swift and fierce. But at that
it was q one-sided one. for the Ameri-
cans gave Denison the opportunity for
only nine assists. all but two of which
were accepted. while the Americans
gathered up twenty. eight assists and
missed two. Yet when it came to
strikeouts Faul of Denison had the
better Of it, tanning ten to McLeon's
seven.
The most remarkable feature Ut the
entire contest was that each side was
held to five hits in the fourteen inn
ings, and in all that time Mclean
passed but one man, Faul three.
The home team scored it's first run
in the first inning on an error. The
visitors tied the score in the fourth
and it was tense see-saw up 20. the

rather put damper on the outdoor.
basket dinner idea. As it was there
was . large crowd present in the aft
l1Snoon and the program was as enjoy
able and as we'll received az any that
the old settler have had. The Deni
son band furnished excellent music
both forenoon and afternoon. In the
absence Of Hon. Chas. Bullock, vice.
president John Dobson, the honored
patriarch of Delcit presided. The as
semblage was called to order rather
too early in the afternoon and many
did not hear the first part Of the pro-
gram.
Mayor Rollins made very clever
and appreciative little talk in welcom-
ing the old settlers and turning over
to them the freedom Of the city. Miss
Florence Baker gave reading which
elected enthusiastic applause and q
demand for more that could not be
denied. A second selection vas as
popular as the first and the crowd acted
almost az if it would like to cut out
the rest of the prog, am and have Miss
Baker occupy the stage all the after
noon.
Hon. ]. p. Conner introduced Hon
L. 7. Genung az the speaker of the
day paying high tribute to his ora
tory and citizenship.
Mr.. Genung did not disappoint any,
one. His talk was clever from start
to finish. There was enough of wis
dom and plenty of wit. The central
theme was that the new times were
good enough. He spoke feelingly Of
the old times and the pioneer days and
paid eloquent tributes to the boys
who wore the blue. 1t was just q
good homespun, talk that brought
many laugh and not few tears and
left everyone feeling S: cable and
happy and glad that they were alive
and present at an old settlers picnic
again.

faces Il a. were not there and who heart
voices that can be heard no more
