THE DEATH ROLL.

Hon. BENZ. Halt, at One Time Chief JUS
tice of Colorado.
AUBURN. N. Y, Sept. 6.-Hon. Benjamin
Halt died here this morning after linRer-
ing illness. He was born in 1914. In 1861
President Lincoln appointed him chief
justice of Colorado, position of great
peril in the days of the breaking out OF the
rebellion. A conspiracy was formed to kill
him and other federal officers and secure
the territory for the secessionists. The
scheme failed and nothing went further to
defeat the plans Of the conspirators than
the ruling Of Halt, originating with him, to
the effect that in cases of armed rebellion
against the government, the courts could
suspend the issue of writs of habeas corpus.

WATER FOR MILK RIVER.

the Sluggish Stream With
Mary's Lake.
And Make OF It the Constant
Fountain for Most Boun-
teous Crops.
Lee Odair Dies OF tho Wounds Received

State News.

: GREAT FALLS, Sept. 6.-[Special. l--Col.
Il. S. Nettleton, the government expert
sent ont to investigate the irrigating prob
lem in Montana and report upon the advis-
ability of boring for artesian wells in the
northern part Of the state, is again in the
city, after lengthy trip through the coun-
try north and west of Great Falls. Col.
Nettleton has evolved several practicable
and entirely feasible schemes OF irrigatinR
and reolaiming thousands of acres Of what
il known az arid land in this part of the
state, and before he finishes his work he
expects to see some Of them assuming
definite shape. One of the principal plans
on which he is at work at present 10 that OF
giving to Mary's lake an outlet into the
Milk river, and thus insure for that stream
continuous flow of water. Milk river, as
ID we'll known, takes its source by its
south fork within ten miles of Mary's lake.
After flowing north into Canada it
msanders through Alberta about seventy
miles and then comes back into Montana,
whence it pursues its course through Cho-
teau county and debauches into the Missuri
at point short distance below Glasgow.
The Milk river is one of the most sluggish
streams to be found anywhere; its course ia
through level plains, and it scarcelv ever
flows over ground that has sufficient descent
to ripple the placid surface of its waters.
During hot weather, and in drouth, the
fountain head of this river frequently dries
up, and for several weeks at a time it has
been known to be nothing but succession
of stagnsnt pools along it's entire channel.
As source of water supply Milk river ia
but poor dependence at best. This un-
certain character of the river has deferred
ranchers from taking out it's waters in irri-
eating bitches, with few exceptions, and the
result is that while choice lands
contiguous to perpetual streams have been
taken with avidity the thousands of acres
of fertile land along Milk river still remain
without claimants Col. Nettleton's plan
proposes to construct canal from Mary'e
lake to the head of the south fork of the
Milk river, and thus give to the new lake
an outlet and to the river permanent
water supply. This would render the re.
clamation of large belt of country an easy
problem, as lateral canals or ditohes could
easily be run from the main channel of the
river. At present Mary's lake forms one Of
the sources of the Belly river, branch Of
the Saskatchewan.
