But the grader had think engine

work mighty quick, soon producing an
idea. He told the gam" he had no
money. but. if he would park his artil-
lery for few minutes, he would bor-

aces-up gent thereupon did as he was
requested Whereupon the man with
the shovel smote the over strenuous

irrigation may come to a great ex-
tent the solution of the Indian prob
lem. The Indian office has been for
som etime building irrigation bitches
for these Indians, to enable them TO
grow alfalfa for their cattle and ponies

employed by the Billings farmers. The
Crows are Industrious. They work
digging the irrigation bitches: then
they become part owners of the bitches
and as they have their land from the
government they are independent
Whether they succeed and become in
dependent farmers and stockmen de-

Crow fund, more cattle for them, to
feed upon the newly irrigated lands

A Great Irrigation Project.

of great garicultural community have
interested the government in looking
into the practicability of great irri-

Billings. and reclaim probably 200 900
acres. The statement was ventured
that the cost Of this reclamation would
likely be between $40 and SIS per acre
and as the irrigated land around Bill
lings is worth from $50 to SIS per acre
it would seem that there would be no
question of the governments getting
back its money A preliminary re-
connaisance has already been made by
the geological survey and accurate sur
veys are promised the coming season
