6uford- Trenton Irrigation Project

A new irrigation project which
promises much for the Northwest is
the Buford-Trenton Reclamation pro-
ject. The United States Government
has set aside $3.50, 900 for this work
and the active operation will begin in
side of sixty days. When this work is
completed some $4,000 acres of now
arid land will be reclaimed and the
Western part of North Dakota will be
as attractive as the great valley of the
Red River and the productive lands of
the Mouse River Loup. 1t is asserted
that the proposed dam and reservoir
will hold between 10000 and 25, 900
acre feet of water and the proposed
canals will run north and south of the
line of the Great Northern Railway
to point about three miles east of
Trenton, North Dakota, from near
Buford, North Dakota, on the extreme
western border of North Dakota. This
is but the beginning of the extensive
irrigation projects which have been
planned by the Government and in
dividuals in Western Dakota and
Northeastern Montana, which, to-
gether with the Milk River Irrigation
project, will reclaim thousands of
acres for settlement for agricultural
purposes which have lain barren for
years, an offer and opportunity for
the homeless of the East to secure
homes OF their own. The fact that
good agricultural Government land is
becoming scarcer and scarcer makes
those irrigation projects of great in

In order to have enjoyment for an

most any lengths. Several seamen

Gently, and, finding matters rather
tame, one decided to provide his
mates with some excitement and fun.
Walking into a shoe shop, he boldly
took a pair of shoes from the counter
and decamped. For about ten min

followed by a large crowd, headed by
a constable. firing of this form OF
exercise, he climbed high wall, and
then ran out on the sea mud. There
he remained for two hours, leveling
good-humored chaff at the policeman
the whole time; and, when the IN
coming tide necessitated his moving,
he coolly swan to buoy, from
which he was taken by the police,
who rowed out in a boat for that pur-
pose. Next morning the seamen col

Levee Tax Question.

The question of whether the two le-
wee boards in Mississippi have the
right to assess a special privilege tax
for levee purposes is soon to be
brought before the Supreme Court for
decision. The privilege license as
sessed by the levee boards is based on
the State privilege tax act, requiring
a payment of $3.50 per annum by
life companies and 5000 per annum by
fire companies. The levee boards seek
to collect so per cent, of this tax from
all insurance companies operating In
that section of the State, and several
companies have combined to make a
legal test of the matter before the Su-
preme Court, having received advice
from their attorneys. that the tax is
unconstitutional.

They serve as we wish to direct them
And not as they please.
We proudly put burdens upon them,
Not asking their leave

They are the toilers that bring US

The pleasures we taste and the pleasures

They patiently labor to give US
And what is their gain?
Shall we foolishly add to their burdens

Ignoring their lot?
How stupid were such unfair treatment
And where is there one

To plow and to sow and to hammer
