try and it was not until 1905 that
farming made Roadway. Simple irri-
cation schemes brought water from
the cypress hills and soon prairie
grasses were supplanted by fields of
grain and the herds were moved on
to allow the reapers plenty of room
Today there are one hundred and ninety
irrigation schemes in operation and
the 1916 grain crop marketed at
Maple Creek amounted to $4,000 900.
This accounts for the steady stream
Of settlers headed fo- Saskatchewan
and the other western provinces that
still offer many hundreds of square
miles of untitled land and it explains
why almost every farmer rides in an
automobile against which there is
plastered no mortgage, for the own
er has a bank account capable Of
meeting the gasoline bills.

in the United States district court

Of equity the petition of twenty eight

RUSSIAN PRESSURE
ALONG RIGA FRONT

London, Jan 16.-Russia is exert
ing much tremendous pressure on the
German line south Of Riga and ii may
have considerable effect on the Ger
man pressure in Roumana.
At several places the Russians have
broken through the German line and
the positions they took were those
which the Teutons had occupied for
twelve months
The advances were made despite
heavy snow storms, freezingly cold
weather and great stretches OF marsh
land
A message from General Demetriefi
pays a tribute TO his mems heroism
and cites their capture OF fifty ma
chine guns, thirty cannon and a vast
amount of material. including 900
bottles of brandy, as evidence of the
irresistible force OF the advance.
Already weakened at several places
by the battering of the Russian as
saults the Germans apparently must
secure reinforcements soon or with
draw
III reinforcements are furnished il Is
believed they must be taken from the
Roumanian front
Dispatches from Roumania indicate
the Teutons are striving hard to ap-
proach Galatz. They have been twelve
days advancing from Braila.

Berlin Papers Say Entente Is

NOTE CLEARS ATMOSPHERE

German Press Comment on the Allies
Reply to President Wilson'S peace
Proposal Lays Emphasis on the De-
csive Character of the Declarations
Berlin, Jan. 16. ~ Further comment
on the entente note to President Will
son lays emphasis on the decisive
character Of the declarations, which
clear the air, the newspapers say, and
give the central powers a defined
goal-defense against the plan of their
opponents for remaling the map OF
Europe
Even Vorwaerts now turns to the
Socialist dissenters who have been
demanding peace without conquer
ors, without conquered" "
Germanys enemies are not ready
TO give such peace, it declares,
hence every deed and every word
tending to shake the self-defensire
will of the German people would ne
a crime against the German people
Vorwaerts says that the terms are
such as could be dictated only after
the entente had occupied the chief
cities of their opponents and broken
hopelessly their power of resistance
and that the note is a new declara-
tion of war with limitless aims Of con
quest.
1t declares the note was intended
to frighten the central powers into
submission but the entente forgetS
that willingness of the German gov
ernment 20 yield would encounter a
barrier in the will Of the German
people, who after such unspeakable
sacrifices and such mighty military
successes would not tolerate without
conpulsion the placing OF Germany
in a position OF conquered state.
Referring to Belgium, Vorwaerts
says:
THE prospect of reaching an agree
ment is ieopardized seriously by the
crazy demands of the note"
