The proposed law drafted by Mr.
Gist re-enacts the old territorial law
so far as it is applicable, leaving out
the part which makes the secretary
ex-ofiicio engineer, and adds several
sections providing for the selection Of
a competent irrigation and drainage
engineer by the board of agriculture
and defining his duties. 1t is the plan
of the board to use the engineer in
institute work or in experiments and
research looking toward the develop
ment OF irrigation ideas when he is not
actually engaged in engineering work
It was considered desirable also to
have him a competent man in drainage
work as well as irrigation, as the two
branches of reclamation work are real
ly complimentary in Oklahoma. ~ Is
believed that sufficient fees would be
received from the work done for in
dividuals and corporations to practic-
ally pay the salary of an engineer.

JOHNSON MEMORIAL
CAPITOL SITE is CHOSEN FOR
THE MONUMENT FOR JOHN
ALBERT JOHNSON.
WORK TO BEGIN WITHOUT DELAY
Memorial Commission Will Engage
Noted ALPHABETICALLY Twenty
Five Thousand Dollars Con-
trbuted to Memorial.

Minneapolis, Mimi: = Approximately
$25, 900 will be expended on a mag
nificent bronze statue of Governor
John Albert Johnson, designed by a
distinguished sculptor, and placed on
the state capitol grounds at ST. Paul.
This was decided upon by the Govern
or ]. A. Johnson Memorial commits
sion in a meeting at the Minnesota
club. The statue will be of heroic
size, eight of the IA commissioners
present voting in favor of the stand
ing posture.
The commission decided not to have
an open competition, but authorized
the executive committee to select a
sculptor of worldwide prominence, re-
questing him to submit a sketch and
design. The selection of the exact
site on the capitol grounds was left to
the executive committee, acting with
Governor Eberhart and CasS Gilbert,
final powers resting with the commits
sion.
Treasurer B. F. Nelson's report
showed total Of $23,950.40 subscribed
This probably will be augmented to
some extent before the completion of
the statue, as resolution was passed
that the fund be left open as long as
the commission exists, although there
will be no canvassing.
The report of the subscriptions by
counties showed Ramsey in the lead,
with $6,810.12, or more than one
fourth of the total collected. Henne-
pin is second with $3,605.99; st. Louis
county third, with $2,407.37. Jackson
with but $3.50 to it's credit. Minnesota
school children showed their love for
their dead governor by sending in ST.
478. Contributions from points outside
the state footed up to $85650.
An entirely different fund being
raised in Nicollet county, the home of
Governor Johnson. practically estop-
ped the citizens of that district from
participating in the larger movement
for the monument at the state capitol.
st. Peter, the county seat of Nicollet
county, was the only other bidder for
the location of the state memorial, but,
in view of the fact that another monu-
ment was being provided for the grave
side, the capitol was given the unanim-
Gus preference.
Those present at the meeting of the
commission were: President G. d.
O'Brien, st. Paul; Vice President A.

"QUANTITY, QUAIL
ITY AND PRICE,
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.

The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
v1ous years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
Is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 32O.O 900
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
dltions causing it no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but 1t is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million BUSH
els-may have it's effect on the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor in the making of prices. If so to-
day, what will be it's effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or 100
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with
yield of from 1926 to 600 million BUSH
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and it
has the soil. Even today the Prov
fnce of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of its development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
