Water Users Association Formed and
Irritation Assured,

Water Users Association Formed and
Irrigation Assured.
The Williston irrigation project is
an assured fact and last week water
users association was formed. The
meeting was held at Williston and
was largely attended. The Williston
Herald says: Engineer Churchill
stated that it was the intention to-
raise the water one hundred and fifty
feet above the river bed if possible
and carry it as far north as they could,
which would be to Marman postoffice
any way and perhaps as far as Zahl.
There will be at least 10000 acres in
the project and perhaps much more
At the two meetings which have been
held over ninety land owners have
signed signifying their willingness to
take shares in the association and
many more will as soon as they have
the opportunity. There is no longer
any doubt as to getting sufficient
amount of land signed to insure the
organization.
At the meeting Saturday the follow
ing officers were elected until the per.
manent organization is formed and the
regular election is held: President, G.
B. Metzger; vice president, R. M.
Calderwood; directors, S. Brownell.
John Van Slyke and w. B. Scace This
is a good selection of practical bust
ness men and all are interested in the
ditch and are more able to do the work
than many others.
The directors held their first meet
ing Monday night in the government
surveyors Office and drew up the arti-
cles of incorporation under which all
work will be carried on according to
the laws of the state. Much other
work was done preliminary to the or
ganization.
After the association is formed am
pie time will be given for all to sub.
scribe for shares in the association,
which will be known as the Willistou
Water Users association, after which
there viii be no opportunity to Join I'M
til the expiration of ten years. and it
behooves every land owner to gain all
the information possible and get in on
the ground floor. Meetings will be
held at different times and all are in
Vlted to attend, for the more you learn
of it the better you like it.

A MURDER NEAR MoHALL,
Male School Teacher Murdered BY

ot"St-no11STy supposed ODleCt.
Minot, N. D., May 9-The body OF
Amundus Olson, respected citizen
of Mohall, was found by the roadside
four miles east of that place, by q
farmer named Gilseth, who was on his
way to the town. The body was lying
face downward, in one hand was
clutched his hat and the other hand a
revolver. From all appearances Olson
had been struck by some blunt instru.
ment, the left side of his skull having
been partly severed. :
The authorities can give no motive
for the crime except that Olson, who
teaches school northeast of the town,
might have been held up on his way
home. He was 80 and had resided in
this section several years. He has
no relatives here, but it is believed
they reside in Minnesota, where he
came from. t..
kilograms have been sent through
out this section Of the state, giving a
description of a suspicious character
who was around the town a few weeks
and who has not been seen since the
supposed murder.

"My baby was six weeks old when
the top of her head became covered

Itwou1d soon form again and be as bad
as before. My doctor said it was
Eczema, and prescribed an ointment,
which did no good. then tried Cuti-

her head in warm water and Cuticura

the size of the ear in mis- county. An

every foot of available space, planted
corn In on the road bed Of an aban-
doned switch which lay parallel to the
main tracks.
A few nights ago high wind blew
down one of the stalks across the
main track. The far-sighted engineer
of the through train approaching DIS.
covered what he thought was a huge
bowlder in the way. and halted the
train at a distance OF several hun.
dred yards. The obstacle proved to
be an ear of corn which, according
to Mr.. Painter, required twenty men
to remove 1t.

DON'T SLEEP ON YOUR
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITiES

The fact that Fitzpatrick brothers
and some Of their subcontractors are
going to Utah to do some railway
work that they have had under con
sideration for some time need not be
regarded seriously when any school
boy in Durango is able to comprehend
the fact that the Denver & Rio Grande
company has not put in standard
gauge road from Durango to Farm
ington for the sole purpose of trans
ferring freight twice, once at Alamosa
and again at Durango 1t is true that
the Rio Grande is not taking us into
its confidence or posting bulletins
around the crossroads to advise when
they will begin to connect Durango
with the Creede broad gauge. rs miles
distant, across the Weminuche pass.
The Rio Grande has not told us
whether they will build through Wen
inuche or Silver creek pass, north of
Pagosa. The road probably figures
that we will get along as well as we
have done for quarter of century,
until we get on the main line.
The Rio Grande was convinced that
the Southern Pacific will parallel Its
system TO Denver when 1t begun to
build south to Pennington, and Is so
busy picking choice of short routes
TO Denver that it hasn't much time In
which to tell Durango Just what 1t will
do or when.
II will he reasonable to presume
that wnen the Rio Grande does be-
gin to build, the work will start from
the broad gauge end. to avoid the
transfer of construction material from
broad gauge to narrow gauge
track and cars, and this will make the
northeast end OF the new cutoff act
i've before Durango can feel the ef
fects of the change.
There is room for both the South
ern Pacific aand Rio Grande to pass
L either Wemlnucne or Silver creek
! pass, but those familiar with the ad
! vantageB and desirability of routes
| incline to the opinion that one road
| viii go through one pass and the 9th

And II is as good as an even bel
that long before the snow comes tt
disturb construction viii have begur
on the Rio Grande at the Creedt
| branch or from Aamosa up the creel

1t is unlikely that the Southern Pa
cific will ask the Rio Grande to hau
ties, steel, bridge timbers or other ma
| terial for construction. and IL Is as un
likely that the Rio Grande will hol'
out any special inducements to hau
stuff. for their competitor. Tne South
ern Pacific may grade at the Durang'
end or in the middle but all materia
will be moved over their broad gaug
track from the south as tracklayinl
progresses.

authority for the statement that the

recognize the union but when the
men chose to come back as individuals
they would be employed at the old
rates, being the amount demanded by
the strikers.
