FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902. ——Kzz&&&&&#w—~==~= aS IRRIGATION. ‘What It Will Accomplish in North- ‘ western Montana. Teton county and Northwestern Montana will be the garden spot of the Northwest if the proposed St. Mary’s canal accomplishes all that is predicted for it. O. G. Clay is the right of way agent for the Great Northern. For some time past he has been engaged along the . line of the Great Falls and: Canada , ard. hom minutes without making a, railway, which was recently ac- quired by J. J. Hill and his associ- ates, and which is being extensive- ly improved by widening the guage to standard width and by straighten- ing out the route, obviating unde- sirable grades and generally put- ting it in shape for handling the volume of traffic the officials ex- pect will come to the branch. The newly-purchased road con- nects Great Falls and the Lethridge coal mines in Canada. The Great Northern has acquired title to that part of the system within the UVuited States. From the beunda- ry line to the Montana terminus the road runs through a country largely given over to cattle raising. But for the lack of water the soil is admirably adapted to agricultur- al purposes, and experts have pro- nounced it unsurpassed for grains and pasture. The aridness is about to be overcome, and when that is accomplished hundreds of thon- sands of acres will be converted into’ valuable farming land. “Sarveyors are now on the ground,”’ said Mr. Clay, “‘and it is understood that upon their report to the government will depend the amount that will be spent in re- claiming the arid lands of that re- gion. The government has already reserved a large amount of land which will probably be irrigated m the near future. The soil has been examined by experts and found to be excellent for grain and hay if water can be bronght in sufficient quantities for irrigating purposes. The Conrad Investment company, which owns a large ranch west of Pondera, in Teton county, is ex- tending its system of irrigation ditches and will increase its acreage of reclaimed land.’’ The addition of the new line to the Great Northern system will fa- cilitate the marketing of the prod- uct of the Crow’s Nest mines, which Mr. Hill expects to develop on a large scale in the near future. It will shorten the route from the mines to Butte, Anaconda and Hel- ena by about 120 miles, nearly two- thifds of the distance by the pres- ent rovte via Havre. Previous to the improvements now in progress the Great Falls & Canada road was marrow guage and had_ several grades and stretches that would have made the handling of heavy traffic impracticable. _ About 30 miles of track have been relaid, and while in most cases the line has been shortened, in some places it has been necessary to lengthen it in order to reduce heavy grades. Mr. Clay has returned to St. Paul, “his part. of the work in’ connection with the improvements having been completed.—Anaconda Stand- Killed Her and Himself. George Wiley shot and killed Miss Dovie Flynn, stepdaughter of Richard Dearking, a Chicago & Alton railway employe, at the lat- ter’s home in Marshall, Mo.,a week ago, and then committed suicide. The woman had refused to marry him. Wiley intercepted Miss Flynn on her way home from a re- _ligious meeting, and walked with her to her home. ’ Mrs: Dearking _ had called to her to come into the house, and as she was passing through the door Wiley shot her . , She died within a statement. Later Wiley’s body ‘have of late been :presented to the people of Montana in an effect- Upson ‘Taft, who has been travel- ing through the state. Brunot Hall was endowed by Felix Brunot of Pittsburg. It gives thorongh instruction in aca- demic, preparatory and primary work, and its instructors are all graduates of Eastern colleges and universities, well versed in their several departments of work. The school is said to offer special advantages for the study of Ger- man, French, music and art. The location of the school is attractive and ample provision is made for ont-door exercise, with tennis and basketball grounds, where many an exciting match game is played. The young women are trained to perfection in these healthful games by compet- ent coaches. The Dramatic club is a feature of the work that combines pleasure and. helpful instructions. The club gives two or three playsa year. Last spring a successful presentation of ‘‘Pygmalion and}. Galatea” was made. ‘‘Alice of Old Vincennes’’ was another de- cided success, Musicals and lectures of. the highest order also occur at fre- quent intervals during the school year. Among the noted lecturers who will visit the school this year are Richard Ely of Wisconsin university and Dean Hicks of the University of Cincinnati. The personnel of its faculty is as much as anything responsible for the-fact that Brunot Hall ranks high in Western educational cir- cles. Bishop Lemuel H. Wells of Spokane is at the head of the school, and Miss Jule P. Baily, a graduate of Radcliff,is principal. Miss Taft herself, who is in charge of the art department, is a pupil of Vincent Dumont. Among the wellknown business men who com- pose the board of trustees is W.E. Cullen, formerly of Helena. The work of Brunot Hall is comprehensive in its scope, pupils being received between the ages of 10 and 20 years. The course is strict and the standard high, and the graduates are thoroughly fitted for entrance into college. It was formerly the diocesan school of St. Marys, but when an ample endowment fund was left it by Mr. Brunot, the name was changed to Brunot Hall. It pos- sesses ‘accommodations for fifty giris who board at the school, and also for many day pupils, who at- tend in large numbers from Spo- Kane. , An attractive catalogue present- ing the merits of the school in full has been prepared and will be for- warded upon application to the principal. In the front of this phamphlet appears the motto of Brunot Hall, ‘‘Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.’’ Must Own Permanent Water Right. According to a decision recently made by Binger Hermann, com- missioner of the general land office at Washington, before a claimant can secure a patent toa desert land entry he must be the owner of a permanent water right and have conveyed the water to the Jand in permanent ditches. This is the precedent which is established in a decision rendered in the case.of F. M, McIntosh against Mrs. Anna Kuhr, to set aside a desert filing by the latter. Sorry That He Spoke. Scones, having sent a stupid servant to do an errand, was great- ly annoyed on finding that he had done exactly the opposite to what he had been ordered. “Why, you haven’t common sense,” he remonstrated. “But sir” — “Shut up! I should have re- membered that you were an idiot. When I’m tempted to senda fool on an errand again I'll not ask you, 1’ll go myself.’’—Tuéson Citizen, Russian art has sustained a great loss by. the death of the famous sculptor, Antoloski. The critics unanimously agree that this poor Jew worker earned a place by the side of Canova and Thorwaldsen. His “Christ,” ‘‘Socrates’’ and “Peter the Great” were leading features ebibaiiesin| exhibitone of 1878, 1889, and 1901. 4 ive manner -by Miss: Katherine! They All Belong to Me.

A strike took place on the Northern Pacific at bridge No. 139 near Carlan, in which 19 men quit work. The men made a demand, for a raise of 50 cents a day in their wages, which would give them $3. The result was that the men were given their time and a new crew sent out to do the work. Fred Percivaglia, a driver in the employ of James Conley, a milk man, whose dairy is located near Lloyd’s ranch, south of Butte, was thrown from his delivery wagon, Saturday, and two of the wheels passetl over his chest, crush- ing out his life.

Fhe mosquitoes have been un- usually troublesome along Milk river this year, and beef .cattle are so much worried by their at- tacks that they will not be as fat as expected.

Committees were ap- pointed to secure funds and to select.and put in shape a ball field. Great interest was shown by the business men present, and there is no doubt but that the team will have an active supporter in every man in town. [Dillon Tribune, July 25.) A good story is told on a stack ingpector of an adjoining county. He has given it out that he is *‘lay- ing” for two young range riders, and the lads heard of the blowing he was doing.

The Montana Verde Mines. Last Sanday many Butte people came over to Bernice, in this county, and went from there up to the Montana. Verde Copper com- pany’s mines to inspect those great propérties.
