Irrigation Boom Power Denver to Calgary Canada
A Calgary Alberta report describes the Bow river irrigation project near the town. The 18 mile ditch plus a 60 foot bottom, 10 feet deep water, 2000 cu ft per second capacity, costs 1.3 million dollars with a 0.6 million secondary expansion. First lands open next fall at about 13 dollars per acre. William Pierce, the engineer, originated the idea in the US in 1833 and persuaded Canadian Pacific to back it. The Calgary district ships cattle alive to Liverpool, local markets, and west to Vancouver, with a small packing plant in town. The British tone remains, polo and tea in the afternoons. A remittance man type is noted, plus many Americans, especially from Illinois and Iowa, considering irrigated lands at 15 dollars per acre with water rents to deter speculation. The town has few saloons, a large church investment, and a generally orderly, English-influenced atmosphere.

Britt Sullivan Fight Sparks Little Local Interest
In San Francisco on July 21 crowds show limited interest as Jimmy Britt faces Kid Sullivan under Hayes Valley Club auspices. Critics doubt Sullivan’s power, though his brief record includes draws with Eddie Hanlon and Young Corbett and a notable six round exchange with Battling Nelson. Both fighters are in prime condition and weigh in at 189 pounds, with expectations shaped by Britt’s stronger following and Sullivan’s unknowns.
