WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.
The Ninth Assembly Has Passed Many
Bills of Benefit to the People.

HELENA, March with the pass.
ing into history of the Ninth legisla.
tive assembly comment as to what has
been accomplished by the lawmakers
is interesting. AT the hands of the
press and the people this legislature
has had its share of flashing for al
legged failure in various directions,
but this is always to be expected. The
legislators themselves take all this in
the best of spirits. They hold that
the present session has been far from
a failure from any point of view, and
maintain that before passing sentence
the people ought to waits awhile until
matters a be seen more clearly and
in their true light.
The domin ant republicans in the
legislature maintain that in the main
the promises made to the people have
been made good, and they hold the
fighting minority in the two houses re-
sponsible for whatever failure there
has been to redeem promises. They
hold that no laws at all on certain
matters were Infinitely better than the
sort OF legislation proposed by the
minority. o. the other hand the dem.
ocrats and fusionists will go back to
the people with the explanation tina,
but for the opposition Of the republic
cans there would have been far better
initiative and referendum laws Z enacted
than those that have been passed by
the two houses. Several of the law
makers expressed their views as to the
net results Of the session last night
and the consensus of opinion was tha'
much good had been done.
Lieutenant Governor Norris said
1.-The work of the ninth session vii
compare vary favorably with that o
any previous session. A great mass
of matter has been considered by tn,
lawmakers, aud out of it hae been ia
volved a considerable amount of gool
legislation, 1t is my opinion that NJ
really bad law has been enacted. w
have given the people "a square deal
but it will be impossible to see matter,
clearly until We get home and watcl
the operation Of the laws thai hav'
been enacted. Then We can iudg

THE MILK RIVER PROJECT.
Settlers Will Suggest That Work be Com
meuced without Delay.
Harlem News.

Harlem News.
At the present time there Is being
carried on in different towns along the
Great Northern railway. between
Havre and Glasgow, considerable agl'
tation in regard t o the Milk river pro-
ject, arising from the fact that there
seems to be an intern atioual question
between the United States and Cana
da in regard to the ownership OF the
headwaters of that stream, and this.
for the time being, has stopped al!
work of the government on said pro-
ject. Just when this matter will be
settled is a pretty hard thing to guess,
and the citizens, together with hum
dreds of settlers who have taken up
land with the idea Of having the gov
ernment furnish them with water at a
stated contract price, have at last
taken matters in their wi hands, with
the object in view Of having the gov
ernment utilize the Chain Lakes reser.
voir site, as already surveyed, and
storing the flood or waste waters Of
the Milk river in these reservoirs, to.
gether with other reservoirs OF smaller
capacity for the reclamation of the
thousands of acres OF arid land be.
tween Havre and Glasgow and for the
purpose Of settling up thisvastdomain
at as early a date as possible.
M, s1~~ =, nr1, fnsyN1a nn1
letters addressed TO the mayors Of the
different towns along the proposed
route have been answered favOring
the plan as outlined above. With
this in view the Harlem Industrial as.
sociation is inviting the adjoining
towns, both to the asst and west. to
send a delegation of interested and
progressive citizens of their locality
TO this city not later than March 18Th.
or some other date to be agreed upon,
SO that the matter eau be taken up
with the congressman and United States
senator's from this state, or If it is
found wise 10 change this plan to send
a good strong northern Montana dele
CATION to w ashington, where the mat
ter will be laid before President
Roosevelt direct, so that most of the
necessary work can be done a. the
reservoir sites this summer.
According to the figures at had it is
estimated that the Milk river project,
in connection with the Chain Lakes
reservoirs, will contain about 4l,O0(
acre.feet OF water, aud with this
amount, together with perhaps some
smaller storage which Is entirely
practical, the Milk river valley car
be reclaimed by eliminating the St
Mary's lake project for the present
which St. Mary 5 is the cause fol
changing the project to the Sun river
country, much to the detriment of the
hundreds of settlers who have exer
cised their homestead rights in Thu
section of the country, and which viii

4 WARN WELCOME
Representatives Everett and Brigham
Honorcd by Their Fellow Citizens.

The return Of Hon. +. NJ. Everett
and Hon. O. p. Brigham from their
legislative duties in. Helena was the
occasion of a banquet at Harlem on
Saturday evening, which was attended
by we'll known citizens from various
parts of Chouteau county who wished
to express esteem for their represent.
atives in the ninth assembly. Dolega-
tions were present from Havre. Chi.
nook, Fort Benton and several other
distant points, while Harlem and
vicinity increased the number of
guests to large proportions.
The homecoming of members of the
legislature was probably celebrated in
a similar manner 10 other parts of
Montana, but in no instance could
there have been a nor hearty greet
ing or a more elaborate function than
that at which Messrs. Everett and
Brigham were honored by their fellow
citizens. The AFT air was arranged by
the business men of Harlem, and to
w. E. French and others who in.
terested themselves in the matter is
due the credit for its great success.
At nc similar event in the history of
Chouteau county has there been such
unanimous approval and commenda.
ton of the record of our representa-.
tives in the legislature, and the ban.
quet itself was worthy of the occasion.
Landlord w. j. Hart, of the New
England hotel. had made elaborate
preparations for entertaining the
crowd. The dining room had been
prettily decorated with colored fes.
toons, Chinese lanterns, palms and
flowers. The tables were loaded with
the finest meats, vegetables and fruits
that could be obtained from local and
distant markets, and liquid refresh.
ments of the choicest vintage were at
the disposal of the sixty guests.
Chas. a. Smith ofticiated as toast.
master, aud called upon Geo. W.
Nennum to welcome the visitors.
Then followed speeches by Hon. O.. P.
Brigham, Hon. Il. Nj. Everett and
others. in which expressions of friend.
ship and good will were exchanged by
| representatives of various parts of the
county. Mr.. Everett spoke at some
length upon the work of the legisla
tive assembly, giving inside history
of some OF the proceedings, from
which it appeared that certain mem
bers effected a combine to prevent the
en- actmeut Of an apportioument bill
that would give Chouteau county and
other parts of Montana the representa-
ton in the state legislature to which
their population entities them Other
matters that came before the legisla-
tive assembly were the subject of in.
terestiny remarks by Mr.. Everett.
The festivities were continued until
about midnis hit, and as the guests
disbaIded they gave expression to
the opinion that the citizens of Har.
lem did honor to themselves as we'll
as to Messrs. Everett and Brigham in
carrying out such a successful cele-
bratiop. II will always be remembered
with pleasure by those who were
there.
