and William Sitz near Malta are also
being investigated.
Husbandman: We learn from the
land office here that many of the Milk
river settlers are changing their des.
ert land filings to ho~mesteads. The
reason of this Is very obvious. The
government will only furnish water
for l60 acres and it will be a year or
two yet before the water can be sup.
piled, hence the change.
Hinsdale Homestead: j.. B. Long.
r. Person and o. S. Cutting are put.

Minnesota potatoes for Hollanders on
the Burton bench, to use for planting.

clip Of Fergus county has been sold,
and the expectation Is that all of the

thousand dollars. The defend ant was

Glasgow News: Those who are mos,
anxious for the government ditch to
come are the practical irrigationists.
The price asked by the government 70,
delivering the water to the land, and
nothing to be paid until the water il

very reasonable indeed. 1t is posi-
BILE that the cost may fall below the
figure named, but this will depend
