furnishes reliable bottom for your
canal aud the water can be easily ham
died by counter bitches. In time the
ditch will level It's own bottom, the
low places will fill In and the pressure
remain the same the whole length Of
the ditch. To construct this acque-
duet no engineering skill will be re-
quired. For instance, 1t Is proposed
to build IL ten feet wide and vita an
average volume OF water twelve inches
In depth. The banks can be built
OF dirt and sod and no fuming is
necessary except to cross water courses.
OF course the cheapness of this style
OF ditch at once recommends ii.
Now comes the plan to furnish water
for the ditch when completed. An
apparatus will call q cylinder water
carrier. The cylinder Is thirty-six
inches 10 diameter and built of iron
and wood, works on iron travellers and
will carry $50 cubic inches OF water.
furnishing solid stream $50 gallons
per minute or q 900 gallons per hour
and at an angle of forty-fve degrees
and this with one horse power. 1.-THE
ditch Is in the right shape this power
Ia sufficient to irrigate forty acres OF
land thoroughly. To fill larger ditch
q gang Of ten of these machines may
be utilized. Instead OF putting the
machines in the river reservoir must
be dug, close by the river and down to
the river bottom. A fiume or head.
gate regulates the supply Of water in
the reservoirs aud the machines are set
abreast In the reservoir at an angle OF
forty.five degrees. Each machine 10
twenty-four feet long and is capable OF
raising the water fifteen feet above
the level OF the water in the reservoir.
Compared with the cost OF irrigat-
ing under the present incomplete ar.
rangements this system can be put In
very cheaply and the cost Of running
IL is also very cheap. Ten machines
will supply q ditch fifteen feet wide
and carrying two feet Of water over q
grade Of two and one-half feet TO the
mile and all the power necessary can
be furnished by y SO.horse power steam
engine. With such plant as this In
working order, land owners can build
their own bitches on their own land
and the assessment for necessary ex.
penditures 10 keeping the plant going
will not break them. Every farmer
will be ditch company Of his own
and the broad acres along the valleys
Of eastern Montana may be made TO
blossom like the rose.

IRRIGATING MACHINES.

bitches, Dams, Soil aud Water Courses.
Mr.. I. ID. Whiteside, Of this city,
furnishes his views on irrigation and
aids thereto rs follows. also q descrip-
ton OF the utility OF the apparatus he
has been working on and perfected this
winter:
There has been a great deal said and
written on the subject OF irrigating the
valleys OF the Yellowstone and Tongue
rivers but 80 far little has been done
toward solving the problem. In re-
spect TO the means TO be- employed /
differ from any proposition hitherto
made. There Is plenty OF water In
these rivers when IL Is needed, n 1t Is
only handled in the right shape and at
the proper season. Water for irrigat-
Ing purposes is necessary during the
months OF June, July and August and
there is generally good volume In
both rivers the first two months at any
rate.
The soil OF this country, having for
its component parts two-6fths isin-
glass, two.6fths sand and one.nfth
plain dirt is difficult TO saturate until
il has been plowed. then Il will absorb
q great quantity Of water aud " thor.
oughly irrigated will retain the mois-
ture long enough for the fulfillmeut Of
the purpose Of irrigation.
To build dams is both expensive and
risky and will be for all time to come,
as the banks Of the rivers are sand and
gravel aud furnish but poor founda.
ton at best; now another plan suggests
itself suppose ditch is dug that
must go down five feet at least; then
there Is danger Of striking gravel

only recourse. To overcome this my
plan for water way is TO build II on

A Massachusetts, Man Makes
Some Suggestions in Regard

Valuable Pointers.
Good Advice From Abroad.

S~@ s-e''eN aots hoEoau.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Courte-
nay, We are permitted to lay before our
readers this morning some extracts
from letter recently received by him
from n gentleman In Massachusetts,
who is largely Interested In western
real estate and owns Considerable prop
erly in Miles CITY:
LOWELL, Mass, Jan. Z, 'SS.
Friend Courteuay:
Yours oil 3lst also papers came 10
hand. am glad u hnd you 80 conf
dent OF the luture of your city anu the
surrounding country and 1 have no
doubt you Voice The opinions u the
thinking people IN your section.
have also read carefully the communi-
cations IN the YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL
relating to the Montana. Kansas d
Texas railroad, which ls sure 10 come
n the proper lndu :ements are offered.
1t Is n good letter only don't believe
IN bonaing the county, even il it could
be done according To law.
What you need now land / presume
there are such among you) is u lew
men with capital who would Interest
themselves in such scheme. enough
TO put some money into II aud show
the managers OF the railroad That they
meant business; say for instance large
real estate oa ners, and have no
doubt many of your stock men have
money invested In that way.
Another raj lroad Terminating In Miles
City would In my opinion help the
cattle interests largely, to say nothing
about the natural advance ia real es-
tate values, which would more than
balance the capital invested; certainly
u road from your city going south or
southeast is just what IS needed, and
in years time from the completion
OF such an enterprise, there would be
plenty Of capital offered because capi-
talists would then see that yoL Mon
tana people meant business. Another
thing that 10 needed In Miles City, un-
less you have one, is al active board of
trade composed Of men who are will
ing to put their time and money into
advertising your city all over this
country and any other country III you
wish; Issue circulars and maps giving
a general description Of Miles City and
Custer county; have u neat and stlrac.
tive pamphlet printed with short and
readable statements, aud TO contain in
a general way every thing favorable to
your immediate section. Con1ne
yourselves 10 Miles City and Custer
county. Montana Is all right Of itself
and II is too big for one town TO ham
die. Lay considerable stress on the
necessity of new railroads centering at
your city; not In preference to other
points, MS you don't want to excite
any antsgonism. You westerners are
so enterprising that you ought to be up
and doing 10 this matter; this winter
Is just the time TO begin. All ought to
be willing to help the movement
along, merchants, saloon men and all.
What you need 10 advertising outside
of your territory. and the quicker you
get IL, and the more } ou get Of 1t, the
better 1t will be for you. Have some
thing nice printed and send me one
thousand copies and I will see that
they get circulated In Boston and its
vicinity.
