Every desert is a potential garden if this one chief necessity is met, though it is not fair to use the word. desert or even an arid region, for Al- berta is neither arid or desert. But nature may often be assisted in her great task of production, and this is what the irrigation systems of the Canadian West are doing. In Alberta the Canadian Pacific. Railway is developing the largest in- dividual irrigation project on the Am- erican continent, with an area Iarger Veen the total irrigated area in either Colorado or California,. Portions of a tract of three million acres will be included in this prosperous and fertile so-called "dry belt" region. The western section is already com- pleted, including sixteen hundred miles of canals and ditches. The eastern section is in process of de- rvelapment where twenty-five hundred miles of canals and ditches will be required for the service. On April 25, 1914, the great Irriga- tion dam at Bassano, Alberta, was opened, Built across the Bow River, eighty miles east of Calgary, the huge structure, 7,000 Leet long, will con- serve the water of the Bow for the eastern section. Another great engin eering work, whieh will serve the same tract, is a giant aqueduct at Brooks, thirty miles east, two miles in length, which carries the waters of a branch canal over a wide valley. One has only to visit this great undertaking of the Canadian. Pedifie Railway to realize not only .its mag- nitude but the results it will, indeed is, producing. Here is one of the smaller radiating ditches, filled with rippling water, On either bank na- ture bas responded with a luxuriant growth, and a garden pf productivity is the result. .Tile wheat fields ex tend in another direction, showing a tine head. of grain after imbibing the thirst -quenching waters, for nature thirsts as do humans. All kinds of growths prosper—fruits, cereals and garden truck, while dairying and live stock growing flourish wherever there is an irrigation canal. The country is filling up with what are called dry farmers for the waters ensure a prac- tical certainty of crop.

It is not only the big hotels that have been marvelously successful when managed by men of capacity, who learnt the business from the ground up, and who have developed. executive ability, but some of the small hotels have been remarkably profitable. We .know of one hotel,, in a town of orLly /7,000, managed by a man who began, when a boy, cutting meat in the kitchen of a big city hotel.

Gradually the monetary systems of the Central Powers are being radicolly changed, but their specie and paper now coming into circulation will be valueless, except among themselves, unless the conclusion of the war should be in their favor. There is no gold in circulation, and silver is beginning to disappear .com- pletely in some countries, notably in Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. Thus, to replace specie, iron, steel and lead are being introduced instead of copper and silver. The Bulgarian Govern- • ment has ordered $2,000,000 worth of 2 cent and 1 cent coins in steel and lead. Moreover, about $3,000,000 are to be shortly issued in small bank notes in the respective value of 20 cents and 40 cents each. These small bank notes are being printed in Ger- many. A first series of bank notes of the face value of 96 cents, $1.92 and $3.84 apiece, and amounting altogether to $5,000,000 nominally, are awaited by the Bulgarian Treasury from Ger- many almost immediately, as a first instalment.
