These "alkali land." are more particularly situated to parts of British Columbia and In south-western Alberta, but patches are found also In Saskatchewan and In Manitoba With the increase in land values In the grain rowing prairie regions and In the trntt-raising valleys of British Columbia, the prob- lem of the reclamation of these lands aseumes a more preening and practical aspect.

Besides the alkali lands which naturally occur. others are liable to be formed through the injudicious gee of water In Irrigated districts, and It is very Important to take precaetkas to order that these otherwise highly fertile lands may not be ruined.

His bravery was proverbial. but his modes- ty was such, that he really did not appreciate hes own virtues.

As Comp - '.roller and Equerry of the Household if Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Ductless of Connaught, Major Riven Bulkeley's position was no .inec•ure. His duties and responsl- b titles were great. Ord (nary people are apt somettmes to envy those to the higher walks tf life, but trouble and sorrow follow all ranks, and on very many occasions It proved "the sadness .of farewell." between the two lives, now so ruth- lessly torn asunder. Although good comrades. as fate had thrown them together, It was not quite a year pre- vious to their marriage, that Major Bulkeley and Miss Petty became en- gaged, with the pleased consent of Their Royal Highnesses .the Duke and Duchess, who later meted the wed- ding by their presence.
