AS reported by the Benton River
Press the ranchers of northern Mon

tirely to the native grass to supply
them with the needed feed for their
stock, but intend to do a little seed
ing of other grass found to be adapt
ed to the climatic and soil conditions
that obtain there. Many have eXper-
fenced with bronze grass and find that
it is an excellent forage plant. The
success of the experiment has induced
many others to take up the grass and
large areas of it will be planted this
season. '"

T. J. Porter, who has been secured

tinue its reputation as one where

On the other hand, argue those who
want Rosebud Joined to Yellowstone
for judicial purposes, every argument
that al be advanced is favorable to
their proposition. The distance be-
tween the two county seats is a com
paratively short one, while both are
directly connected by rail and going
from one to the other is a matter Of
only a few hours. Senator Meyer
himself being q lawyer and therefore
supposed to know the value Of time
and the necessity which often arises
for making hurried and quick jour-
neys to county seats, makes his OPP

from Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

fi1rom Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
N Unless plans are changed the long
~~eXpected nov toward bringing the
lands east of the city known as the
Huntley flats under cultivation will
be accomplished.
1t is given out as a fact that a state
of Washington syndicate has secured
an option to purchase all of the
Northern Pacific sections contained
in the tract, comprising about 10000
acres. These people have been en-
gagged in the reclamation of arid
lands in their own state for several
years end are experts in the line of
q big ditch constructors, and backed by
ample capital to push through any
large enterprise in the way of irriga-
ton they may undertake.
All the details in relation to the
project have not as yet been worked
out. AS is, known, the state is inter
ested in half of these lands and 1t

of a deal with the state may be &C
complished before work on the sur
vey of a canal and laterals will be
begun.
1t is claimed, however, by a gentle
man in close touch with the projectors
of the plan, that it will make no ma
terial difference to them whether or
not they secure control of other than
the Northern Pacific lands in the dis
trict. They contend that those lands
alone will justify the building of the
canal. .o ". -
In connection with the time requir-
ed for the building of the proposed
canal and the amount of money nee
essary for it's construction, some
pretty close figures have already been
made by the parties interested. 1t
is claimed that the work could be
done within one year from the time
the first furrow is plowed.

Carbon County Senator Antagonizes
MISUNDERSTANDING District.

"
From Thursdays Daily Gazette. II
fF. II. Hathhorn, former county at
torney, has gone to Helena to urge
adoption by the legislature of a meas
ure creating a new judicial district
to he composed of Yellowstone and
Rosebud counties, as recommended
by the bar association of this county.
Much surprise is manifested at the
opposition which has suddenly devel-
oped against the proposition, partic-
ularly as that opposition comes from
a quarter from which every reason
existed for expecting support. Sen
ator Meyer of Carbon county, who
quite recently expressed himself as
being willing to give his support to
any measure the people Of Yellow
stone might favor, admitting that UNI
der the present arrangement the
judge of this district has too much
work, is the one who has seen fit to
suddenly change front and now in
tends to do that which the people do
not want. He has set his mind on
creating a district to be made up of
Yellowstone and Fergus counties and
has SO written to Judge Goss. In his
letter he says that while sorry to do
anything not to the liking OF the peo-
pie of Yellowstone county, yet he
feels constrained to oppose them and
work for the district he favors.
By what process Of reasoning the
senator arrives at the conclusion that
Yellowstone and Fergus should be
joined as a judicial district his friends
down this way cannot understand.
While it is true that the counties are
adjoining, because Of the lack Of rail-
road connections a long and tedious
journey is necessary to go from the
capital of one to that of the other, in
Laddition to entailing a stage trip that
even under the most favorable condi-
lions is one which but few would care
to make. Besides, the people OF Fer
gus county are as strongly opposed to
the senator's scheme as r those OF
this county and it is understood that
a protest against his bill has been
| sent by them.
