missiOners, and on examin alton was
a~djudged insane. The examination
was approved by Judge Tattan and

10 the institution for the insane. Mr..
Northcutt came to Saco about four
years ago from Georgia and last fall
was elected justice of the peace. He
has relatives 10 Georgia who have
been notified of his condition.
Hinsd ale Homestead: Even though
the Milk river government irrigation
PROJECT is tied up for the present by
International complications with Can
ada, we a see no reason why the
government should not go ahead and
complete the lower part Of the system.
This part of the system vas to have
storage reservoir > to fill the main
canal anyhow, and it seems to US
there is plenty of water which runs to
waste down Milk river every spring
to fill a reservoir several times large
enough to irriga,e the entire lower end
of the valley. And 1t is our opinion
that such conditions will prevail for
all time to come even though the Ca
madam people do take water from the
river IN their own territory.
