Wilton G. Brown was arrested for

Brown appealed from the judgment

MORE IRRIGATION.
Institution of Large Project in Sweet
Grass County.

What is intended as the first work
toward the completion Of a large ir-
rigation project in Sweet Grass coun-
ty is now under way, having been
begun a few days ago, when surveyors
began to run preliminary lines for
a canal having its source in the
Boulder river. The land which it is
intended to reclaim lies in a basin
between the Boulder and Dry ,ereek.
The head of the canal will be about
eight miles south of Big Timber and
if built the ditch will have a capacity
of. not less than 100000 inches of
water, or a little more than one-third
of the entire flow of the river dur
ing thes height of the irrigating sea
son..
Although the exact cost cannot be
told until a final survey shall have
been made, it is estimated that a
ditch of the size contemplated can
be constructed for not to exceed So
900 a mile, as but little luming and
trestling will have to be done. In adj
dition to the main object of the pro-
posed canal, reclamation of the tract
already described, it is said that the
ditch could be easily extended so
as to supply water for irrigating the
fiat near the old town of Grey Cliff,
which contains several square miles
of decidedly good land, which as yet
is not capable of irrigation.

NEW A SERVICE.
Star Route Superintendent Will In
vestigate Roundup Petition.

vestigate Roundup Petition.
r. H. Barclay, assistant superinten-
dent of star routes, was In the city
yesterday and had a conference with
Postmaster Babcock in relation to the
matter of establishing at least one
more such route in this county, with
Billings as the supplying Office.
Representation was made to Mr..
Barclay of the urgency of a route
with Roundup rs its terminus. The
people OF, that locality have petitioned
the department for a mail service and
as they are strong enough in num-
bers to make it apparent to the au.
thorities at Washington that their
! request is not an unreasonable one,
the hope is entertained that their
prayer will be granted. What still
further emphasizes the necessity OF
such a service as has been asked for
is the fact that a new postofice has
been established at Thirty-mile,
known as Summit, which lies On a di'
rect line Of the proposed route to
Roundup. Then, too, the residents OF
Fattig creek are working for the es.
adjustment of a postof1ice there and
the Roundup route could be extended
so as to serve them.
Mr.. Barclay promised to investigate
the matter and expects to make a
trip yer the proposed route within
| the next two or three weeks. He
! arrived yesterday morning from an
inspecting tour over the stage lines
in Carbon county and said that from

from the west arriving considerably
behind its schedule time, some OF the
more timid ones thought that pos
sibly the dynamiters had concluded
to shorten the time set for institu-
ton OF their campaign against the
Northern Pacific and had put their
threats into execution by placing a
lot Of giant powder where it would
do the most harm. Finally, when
the train arrived, it was learned that
the delay had been caused by dyna-
mite, but not in the manner that had
been feared. The track west of Hope,
Ida, is being improved and in the
course of the work it has been found
necessary to remove some overhang.
ing rocks. These are SO large that
they have to be blasted and shortly
before the train arrived at the place
a blast had lodged a quantity of rock
onto the track and a wait of two hours
was ~entailed before the obstruction
could be removed.
