PLAN is OF PUBLIC INTEREST.



County Surveyor Thorpe and several
assistants have been busily engaged for
some time in surveying in the Mystic
Lake country with the purpose of def
nitely ascertaning if the dam at the
lower end of the lake can be raised
sufficiently to hold Il large enough sup
ply of water for irrgating daring the
summer months. This has been a pet
project of several Bozenanites for a
number of years and to satisfy them
selves of the feasibility of the plan con-
cluded to have the matter carefully look
ed into. The result of the work done SO
far has not been made public. but should
it be found practicable an additional
area of land that at present bears moth
ing will be brought under cultivation as
Il result of the enterprise of parties
at the bottom of the undertaking.
The water department reports that
there has been an increase in The SER
vice of Is per cent over the business
done last year. This would indicate,
among other things, that the town has
been steadily growing or the one hand,
ant on the other that this depa rtment
is Becoming one of the leading ones of
the city administration. There is no
question but that Bozeman has the best
and purest water supply of any city in
Montana, the water coming from a
large spring that gushes from the rocks
high up on the mountain side. and from
there is conducted to a reservoir about
three miles; from town, from which point
it is piped to all parts of the city. The
supply is ample for all needs. and there
Will be for many years to come. The
addition of larger mains to conduct the
water from the reservoir to the city
mains is the only change that will have
to be made to supply town three
times the size of our present population
with all the water they can possibly
require for domestic purposes

Opinion Respecting Power of Commits
." sioners in a Certain Case.


sioners In a Certain Case.
A. B. Duvall, attorney for the District.
has informed the Commissioners that he
has duly considered the communication of
W. H. Urquhart and Stanhope Boiling,
trustees, claiming that there has been no
dedication of any part Of the twelve-acre
tract of land owned by them Immediately
south of Fairview Heights and fronting on
the Georgetown and Tenleytown road,
through which the extension of Massachu-
setts avenue would pass, and that conse-
authority to improve Massachusetts avenue
extended between Joliet street and the
Woodley Inn property by laying a cement
sidewalk In accordance with the published
intention of doing so.
"It appears says Mr.. Duvall, that this
contention is based upon the form in which
the land was dedicated for the extension Of
Massachusetts avenue the claim being that
John w. Thompson, who signed the dedica-
the same as owner, inasmuch as part of the
land was held by Inn as trustee and part
in his own right.
1.-The dedication Of Massachusetts, avenue
was recorded in 1892. and it was then ac
cepted according to the plat thereof by the
Commissioners.
1.-The owners and the public authorities
have dealt with this property, recognizing
this dedication, and the present complain
ants had full knowledge thereof at and be-
fore their purchase Of the property. l am
of opinion that the dedication is good as
against them, and that the Commissioners
have authority to improve that part of
Massachusetts avenue extended which lies
between Joliet street and the Woodley Inn
prODerty."

Col. Burt Quoted in Regard to the
Condition of Military Affairs.

SOl. auOteu HI hcS0rd the
Condition of Military Affairs.
Col. A. 9. Burt, 25th Infantry, who re-
Gently returned from the Philippines, does
not take so optimistic a view of conditions
in the Philippines some of the other Off
GERS who have served in that country. In
a recent interview he is credited with hay
ing said:
MY observations and opinions of condi-
tions in the Philippines differ somewhat from
those held by great many people. General
Otis labored long time and with splendid
success, and after much fighting came
home and announced that the war was
practically over and his tour of duty was
pronounced very successful. General Mac
Arthur took up the job and found that for
one year there was as much fighting to be
done there was before General Otis left
When he left he pronounced the war to be
practically over, and his tour was declared
to be very successful These generals are
entitled to their country's gratitude for
their successful work, but, as far as the
war being over is concerned, that Is an
other question. AS a matter Of fact the
Island of Sumar, one Of the largest in the
archipelago, is still unsubdued, and General
Hughes is still fighting there Many OBJ
serving officers have committed themselves
to the opinion, and l am one of them, that
the troubles in the Philippines will not
cease during our time"

DISTRIBUTING RESERVOIR.
1t is Temporarily Out of Service fOI
the Water Supply.

The distributing reservoir above George
town is temporarily out of service, and
the city's water supply from the Great
Falls is being carried around the reservoir
through the seven-foot by-conduit. The
water in the lower basin of the reservoir
has been lowered nearly eleven feet. The
change in service was rendered necessary
by the work of connecting the reservoir
with the acqueduct tunnel at the west
shaft gate house. This gate house is just
outside the reservoir. When this connec-
ton has been made the water will be
turned into the distributing reservoir
again. 1t will be permitted to flow into
the tunnel and thence to the Howard Uni
versity reservoir as soon as they are ready
to receive it. According to the last month
ly report of Col. Miller, the engineer Off
Ger in charge. the various extensive works
for the increase and the improvement of
the water supply are we'll under way.
