Development Company Will Get In

For Water.

CALGARY, Alberta, Can, Sept. 81.
The biggest irrigation project on
the continent Is that half completed In
this province by the Canadian PACING.
II includes three great stretches oil
land termed the western, central and
eastern blocks. in the western are l.
039, 900 acres to be reclaimed; In the
central are about million and In the
eastern are 1,156,224.
The western section Is the nearest
completed and Il alone forms project
as large as any In the United States
and the largest yet attempted In eau
ada.
Already there have been completed
II miles OF main canal 254 miles Of
secondary canals and one thousand
three hundred and Twenty-Five miles
Of distributing bitches!
Perhaps, somebody here with a good
imagination can estimate how much
the annual crop on 1929 miles Of IT.
rigation bitches will be worth, and
what II will mean towards the solv-
ing OF the worlds food problem, but
most of them only gasp and guess.
The lands are being sold at from $50
an acre up with charge OF so cents
and acre per year for the water right
Less than five per cent OF these
lands In the western block remain un'
Sold
Now nearing completion a dam on
the Bow river Is 1000 feet long, $50
feet wide at the base, and IS feet
high. From this dam canals will lead
out over 100000 acres Of land.
Eight million dollars has been ap
rropriated by the company to start
tie work in the eastern block. and
preliminary surveys have been made
for the central block. In FIVE years OF
so a tract 30 miles wide and 15e
miles long between Calgary and Moose
Jaw will be irrigated and tens of thou
sands OF farms will take the place OF
the wild prairies OF today.
The whole thing Is a private pro
ject. For an investment Of few mil
lion dollars the development company
will get 100000 from the sale OF
lands and an income OF millions OF
dollars per year forever for water.
This one project publicly owned
would run the government and schools
of this province forever and so abol
| ish all taxes.
