Last evening about twenty of the
young friends of Miss Nellie Billiard
gave her a very pleasant surprise in
honor of her fifteenth birthday. The
young people spent the evening in
merry games and social chat and at a

M. S. Darling, civil engineer Of
the Conrad Investment company, with
headquarters in Fort Benton, was in
the city today, says the Great Falls
Leader, and stated that after running
about seven weeks the water had
been turned off from the big irriga-
ton canal for the winter. All of the
land irrigated by this system has been
thoroughly watered and it is not
necessary to keep the water flowing
any longer this fall.\ Fhe water will
again be turned intoI the canal next
spring as early as possible in order to
give the grass and other vegetation
an early start. This will probably be
done about the middle Of April, but
the time will depend entirely upon
the weather conditions.
