The Irrigating bitches.

Superintendent Haynes expects &c
turn water into the Miles City Irrigat.
ing ditch between the 9Th and 10th OF
May. The large steam dredger, which
was recently purchased at Toston, will
be here this week, and it's first work be
TO relieve the fumes by enlarging the
ditch Immediately below them. The
machine is a very large one, having a
capacity Of 20 tons per hour, the shovel
removing Ia yards Of dirt each trip, and
has been worked just enough to prove it
to be first class in every particular. In
addition to the engine for handling the
shovel, it is provided with a traction en-
CINE, which is of great service in moving
the huge implement.
Reports from the Buffalo Rapids ditch
are to the effect that the first six miles Of
the canal is ready to receive the water,
and Michael Kircher is pushing work on
his contract, the ditching machine doing
excellent work.

JOURNAL reporter took a drive 10
some OF the nearby farms yesterday, and
was surprised to find that things we're SO
forward. This was particularly notice
able at W. n. Haynes place. Apple.
crab-apple and plum trees are two weeks
earlier than last year, and are already
showing fruit buds, which will open into
blossoms in a few days. while the straw
berries, c%urrants. gooseberries and dew
berries are showing up beautifully. A
few OF the grapvines have been uncoy-
cred n were found to be equally Wig.
orous and healthy. The ground for the
recently arrived fruit trees will soon be
in shape for their reception, and every
thing seems highly prosperous.

The Ball Outlook.

just now the outlook for local base.
ball playing is not Of the brightest. ow,
ing TO the fact that Young and Sanders,
heogh's crack pitchers, are both on field
duty at Camp Merritt. and will not be al
the post until July. while Lieut.. David.
son and Private Mack. the catchers. are
ordered TO go out on May 18th with a
surveying party for the entire summer.
This so seriously cripples the soldiers
that the season will be far advanced be-
fore they will be condition to give battle
to the town nine. although they have
some promising recruits in practice.
However Billings. Glendiye and For.
syth are organizing ines, and prepar.
ing for business, and games may be ar.
ranged with them. Miles City's nine is
stronger than last year, having been re.
inforced by two or three new men. and
they will play better ball than last year. A
practice game yesterday. in which some
OF the keogh men participated gave all
hands good exercise and showed some
sharp work.

Receiving Stolen Calves.

In the district court at Glendive last
week the county attorney, Mr.. Thomas
u. Holmes, prepared so strong o case
against Charles f. Haight, for receiving
stolen calves, knowing the same to be
stolen, that his attorney advised him to
plead guilty. He was sentenced by
Judge Milburn to one year at Deer
Lodge and to pay costs and a fine Of $50.
The county attorney recommended
mercy, as the plea Of guilty saved con
siderable cost. The extreme penalty is
hve years for receiving stolen calves. Ii
is to be hoped that that this will be a
lesson to other people who think it a
small matter to rope other peoples
calves to make up the shortages in their
own herds. The convict was r. ming a
dairy farm with others, and no.. a boy
rope calves and bring them in to make
up for calves lost from the milk COW
herd. The county attorney expects to
ask for a grand jury in Dawson county
to investigate c~ertainother parties whom
he suspects. The interchangeable inspec-
tor, W. ID. Smith. deserves a share OF the
credit for bringing Haight to justice.

Sing q song of penitence,
A fellow full OF rye;
-Four and twenty serpents
Danced before his eye,
When his eye was opened
He shouted for his life,
Wasn't he pretty chump
To go before his wife?
His hat was in the parlor
Underneath a chair,
His boots were in the hallway
His coat was on the stair,
His trousers in the kitchen,
His collar ON the shelf,
But he he hadn't any notion
Where he was at himself.
When the morn was breaking
Someone heard him call,
His head was in the ice-box,
And that was best of all.

HOODS CANAL. Ian. IL. 1so1

HOODS CANAL, Jan. 16, 1894.
The largest flood the Skokomish
river has had for nine years came
down last Saturday. The snow of
about four inches near the mouth.
with much more in the hills and noun
tains, melted with last weeks rain.
and on Saturday the river rose very
rapidly. Small bridges has been car
ried away and one or two cattle
drowned, but no definite news has
been heard from further up the river.
There is a report that the house of
H. Brown was carried away, but the
people around here will not believe it.
until it is confirmed, as it was in TOO
secure a place to be easily moved.
January z, 1885, the highest flood in
twenty years took place when about
twenty inches of snow went off with
a three days warm rain. The water
then was about six inches deeper at
the reservation than at this time, with
low run of tides, while now we have
had high run. In 1862 old settlers
tell about high water, which carried
of house belonging to VIM. Kirk
land on place next above F. c.
Purdy's, and drowned all his cattle.
The water then stood several feet
deep in a government house at the
Agency, but the timber was not then
cut away either on the reservation or
Mr.. Webb's side as it is now, so that
the water did not spread out as it does
now. Old settlers said they thought
as much or more water came down in
1885 as in 1862.
There is report that the steamer
Buckeye, which runs between Seattle
and Union City, has gone into the
hands of a receiver. 1t has been i'm
possible for your correspondent to
learn the exact truth in regard to it,

last week. Something indeed has
happened to her as she has been very
regular ever since she came ON the
route. S.
