 purposes only. The company has six 

 other reservoirs at various points. 

 The system is capable of watering 

 6,000 acres of land at a yearly cost 

 that will not exceed $2 per acre. 



FOREIGN 



Approximately 400,000 acres of land 

 in the southern portion of Alberta 

 will be put under irrigation by the 

 Dominion Government, or by the 

 municipalities, which obtain from the 

 government the right to operate a 

 system of irrigation in the various 

 districts, some time in the near future, 

 according to the statement of F. Pet- 

 ers, irrigation commissioner for the 

 Dominion, with headquarters in Cal- 

 gary. 



It is learned from Cameron Bey, 

 governor of Sonnar Province in the 

 Sudan, that the new dam on the Blue 

 Nile will be located about 160 miles 

 below Khartum; the height of the dam 

 had not been decided and he thought 

 the width would be somewhat less 

 than the dam at Assouan. If begun 

 this summer it will take about three 

 years to complete, as work can be 

 carried on only during the dry season. 

 Drillings already taken show an ex- 

 cellent rock foundation, although 

 there are V-shaped fissures which will 

 have to be overcome. The canaliza- 

 tion would be straight with few diffi- 

 culties in construction.
