A wave of optimism is sweeping over
Alberta. After six years of poor crops
which discouraged the people of the
province to a point bordering on pes
simism, new life and hope has come
with the rains recently. From every
| part of Alberta come reports of un-
equalled or unexcelled crop prospects.
| At least 100,000,000 bushels of grain
will be harvested this year, it is anti
cipated. This figure is the estimate of
H. w. Wood, president of the United
Farmers of Alberta.
Work on the Mckay creek federal
irrigation dam has been started, ac-

lions Of land made by a jury in fed
eral court in Portland recently, when
condemnation suits to secure three
farms for the dam site were held, Mr..
Conner said.

pressed whether the valuations would
be accepted by the government and
