 "I myself remember when this sec tion of western Canada was consider ed a part of the Great american deeert, unsuited for settlement and destined to be the home of wander. ing bands of cattle as successors of the buffalo. Under irrigation it is now one of the garden spots of th" Dominion"
 The Canadian Pacific railway has expended S15,000,0O0 on its irriga- tio,l works at Bassano on Bow river and at Lethbr,lge on St. Mary's rive-. That at Bassano is the largest irrigation syst, m in the world. These irrigated dis, jets are being rapidly settled and crcp failures are ,n. known. The valle of irrigation nas keen proved by the increased per centage of production. The yic.d of wheat under irrigation has ircl eased from 26 to 46 bushels to the acre; oats from 59 to l0l bushels; barley from 34 to 73 bushels, and potatoes from 233 to 4o2 bushels, according to statistics of the Dominion Depart ment of Agriculture.

PRESS COMMENT
Germany First


Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, challenges the situation
squarely when he says that the Al
lies should not be "kept in the dark
as to the views Of the Senate" and
that many "untoward results can be
avoided if the Senate frankly express
es its views beforehand on certain
leading points for the consideration
of the Allies and of the President
himself" Previously Senator Knox
had delivered, under similar sense
of obligation, the final and convincing
reasons why this country should not
and will not, surrender any of its
unique sovereignty to a society of
nations.
Senator Lodge voices what we be-
lieve to be the prevailing sentiment
of the country when he says that,
first, we should deal adequately with
the enemy-that is to say, Germany.
Her pledge is worthless. Therefore
there must be. guarantees. When the
terms on which Germany shall be
granted peace and the conditions ur-
der which she shall work out her
sentence have been settled then it
will be time enough to define, if we
can, what we mean by such great
phrases as
League of Nations,
Freedom of the Seas,
p Economic Equality - = ~ :
and develop plan by which they
can be made applicable to this con-
glomerate worlds concerns, in fair
ness and friendliness, and without
any sacrifice of national sovereignty.
There is no plan. There is only the
idea.
Settle with Germany first. Then
proceed to perfect the world. That is
Senator Lodges proposal. 1t is not
'only sound in practical sense, but it
is a way-perhaps, the only way-to
reconcile necessity and ideals in the
peace reckoning.-New. York Tri-
I.bune.s

Undelivered Mail

That ten carloads pf letters for
American soldiers overseas are soon
coming back to the dead letter of
flee in Washington to be finally re-
turned to anxious fathers and moth
ers in the United States is a sad
commentary on the efficiency of our
government in handling mail in the
time of war. The post office de-
partment is laying the blame on the
war department as the latter had
charge of all mail after it reached
army headquarters. The Second As
sistant Postmaster General told the
Senate post Office committee that
conditions might be improved if more
postal clerks were sent overseas, but
