]. ]. SKINNER AND
MABEL CHESTNUT WE'D

John J. Skinner and Miss Mabel
Chestnut were married Wednesday
evening at the home Of the brides
parents, Rev. T. w. Poole of the
Presbyterian church officiating The
wedding was a quiet affair, only the
immediate relatives and friends OF
the contracting parties being present.
Nothing we could say could add to
the popularity of the bride, who is
known to all throughout the city as a
young lady of stable worth and
qualifications. The groom is whole
souled, steady and conscientious
gentleman, who has served as a
fayorite among the machinists at the
shops and has the respect of all
Havreites.
The newly married couple left
yesterday for Mr.. Skinner's no me in
indianapolis, Ind, for a brief visit,
after which they will return to Havre
to reside permanently,

HOMESICkNESS LEADS
TO AWFUL suicide

j. q. Barr, a young carpenter, last
Friday jumped under a coach of a
fast Great Northern passenger train
at Wagner and his body was horribly
mangled. Cornoner Gray visited the
scene, but the suicide was so evidently
premeditated and was witnessed by
SO many that he decided no inquest
necessary.
The cause Of the suicide is ascribed
to dependency from homesickness by
David Barr, a brother, who is en-
ployed in the machine shops in Havre.
Mrs. Charles Rogers left this week
for St. Paul, where she will visit for
two months with relatives and friends.
II. c. Carruth, A. w. Mckay and
Norman Mckenzie left today for
Lake Boudoin to be on hand for the
opening of the hunting season.
Mrs. Eta Lowrey and the Misses
Winnie and Eta Lowrey spent
Thursday in the city as the guests of
their cousin, e. G. Carruth, while on
the way from a western visit to their
home in St. Paul.

Frank Fecker returned Wednesday
from a two weeks visit in St. Paul.
Miss Kavanaugh, who has been
visiting Mrs. Charles Rogers for a few
days has returned to her home in
Kalispell.
Harold G. Means, who was one of
the striking operators, and, withal,
a mighty good fellow has gone to St.
Paul, where he is assured a position
in the offices.
Rose Lepper this week resigned her
position as teacher in the public
schools. The announcement of the en-
gagement of Miss Lepper and A. S.
Walker was made last week. The
popular teacher had intended to con-
tinue her educational work until the
Christmas holidays, but as she has re-
signed the wedding may be expected
at an earlier date. The board of ed
ucation has chosen Miss Charlotte
McFarlane of Chicago to succeed Miss
Lepper in the primary department. of
the West side school.

CONSTITUTION OF
UNIONS CHANGED

Q. Fl. Webber. delegate of the
Trades and Labor council to the state
convention of the Montana Federation
of Labor, returned Monday and re-
ports that by secret ballot it was de-
cided to amend the constitution of
the organization so as to provide that
it may issue charters to local unions
within the state. The vote was 90 to
%. This was the most important
issue before the convention and it
aroused debate that was protracted
and heated.

IRRIGATION PROJECTS FATE RESTS
WITH SECRETARY OF INTERIOR

The immediate fate Of the national
Milk river irrigation project now ap-
pears to depend on the action of the
secretary of the interior, the whole
proposition of compromise made by
the Milk River United Irrigation as
sociation going up to him to decide.
The whole facts in the matter will be
presented to the secretary at once by
E. Ell. Newell, chief of the reclama-
tion service. This was the decision
reached at the conference of the COM
mittee on adjudication and the chief
and engineers of the reclamation
service held in Portland Ore. The
conference lasted three days, but
Chief Newell declared firmly that in
the face Of repeated decisions by the
interior department. in similar condi-
tions in other irrigation districts he
could not recede one jot from the law
and the regulations as now laid down.
He said he thought the compromise
offered by the existing water users in
the valley might have effect and he
volunteered to present the statement
and proposition to the Secretary of
Interior in person as soon as he re-
turned to the national capital This
compromise provides that both Upper
and Lower Milk River Water Users
associations will agree to furnish the
existing ditch companies, which have
been regular users of water, with
Of the water they now
require free of cost, the existing COM
panies to retain and maintain their
own canals and to purchase all the
supply they may need in excess of
this amount; no individual rancher.
however, to receive water in excess of
the needs of 100 acres of land.
Attorney Bean, the special United
states attorney assigned to conduct
the business of the reclamation service
said he felt sure the compromise
would fail, because it was
not, as he viewed it, within the pro-
vision Of the law. Chief Newell felt
the same way about this proposed
but thought that it evil
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1905-09-01

denced spirit that might suggest
some other way out of the difficulties
to the secretary of interior, and so he
promised to present all the PROPOSE
tions now delaying construction to
the head of the department.
9. G. Babb, the engineer in charge
of the Milk river project, accompani-
ed the committee of the association
to Portland from Havre, and recon-
mended the proposition to reduce the
number Of claims to which it was
necessary to have title quieted from
1,500 to 500, which he designated
Chief Newell said he thought this
arrangement might prove satisfactory
and that he would present it, also, to
the secretary of interior. He insisted,
however, that one thing was certain
title and claims Of all kinds calcu-
lated to interfere with the general
project must be forever quieted in the
courts before anything beyond sur
veying will be done on the canals.
All the engineering difficulties, while
they were great, he said had already
been overcome.
Actuated by this statement Presi-
dent L. Newman to day gave instruc-
tions to Attorneys Pray and Stanton
of Fort Benton to proceed with the
already decided upon in the
district court. Many of the original
defendants have voluntarily become
plaintiffs in the action and this will
reduce the anticipated
cost of litigation, but it will never
theless be large. The suit will be
brought in the name. of the Harlem
Ditch company and the Fort Belknap
Ditch company will be the main de-
fendant, with the hundreds of other
claimants selected associated in the
one case as joint defendants.
The committee of the Milk River
United Irrigation association which
travelled all the way to the Pacific
coast for its con ference with the
government officials included: L.
Newman of Havre, president; W. B.
Sands and w. W. Cook of Chinook
and T. M. Everett of Harlem.
