TOWNSEND, May 22.-[Special. This has
been an unusually brisk day in our aspiring
valley burg, the panorama of events oelnR
spiced this lovely morning by the appear
ance Of several cavalcades of young ladies'
mounted on their best bronchos lndepend-
ent of male escort, wearing nobby spring
costumes and beautiful buttonhole bou-
Duets plucked from the wild flowers OF
field and foot-hill, as they galloped from
their respective ranches. The beaux and
bachelors of Townsend were quick to recog-
nize the occasion and to present their most
chivalric greetings.

The Missouri valley canal project. in the
interest of which A. j. Davidson, OF Hell
ena, made recent trip to st. Paul, is the
most exciting and important theme OF dis,
cussion among town and valley people, ana
frequently the expression is heard from
leading men here that unless the present
negotiations shall very soon culminate IN
the commencement Of operations, for its
construction they will enroll and utilize
the home forces and go to work upon 1t
themselves. The delay has certainly, been
aggravating, for while this is naturally one
of the most richly productive valleys IN the
entire state, yet it is SO enclrcled by storm
controlling mountains that rain seldom
reaches its broad expanse. hence these pro
posed liberal and permanently reliable
means for irrigation have become abso-
lutely prerequisite to the success of the
great mass of our people.
