Tbe contract between tbe farmers
and tbe United States has been sent

The Irrigation of this territory Is
believed to be a great step in the
progress there, as the land Is known
to be unusually fertile, and will yield,
with water, many times what Is baa
produced under dry land methods.
Tbe precedent thus started will prob
