ton Plans.

Encouraged over the enthusiasm Of
farmers in the western part Of the state
over the government irrigation project,
H. A. Storrs, electrical and mechanical
expert. who has general supervision OF
the work of the reclamation service, is
in the city today after an extended trip
through the district in the northern
part of the state where the great work
,is contemplated.
1t was at Buford that Mr.. Siorrs was
particularly impressed with the way the
farmers have taken up the matter Of
irrigation. A monster meeting was
held at that place last week and tenn
porary Organization of a water.use rs
association effected. Another meeting
will be held next week when offcese
will be elected and instructed to incor-
porate the association, thus efectiDg q
permanent organization and paving the
way for the expenditure OF 1900. 900 Of
government funds in what 1s known as
the Buford- Trenton irrigation project.
+ Because Of the conditions under
which the funds we're appropriated for
irrigation purposes, the organization of
water users association is essential.
Before the actual construction work is
commenced it is necess airy that every
land ownerin the district to be bene-
fitted by the scheme shall agree to the
conditions imposed by the government.
To facilitate matters, the government
deals with the water users associations
and the land owners with the associa-
tons. --... ....... ..---.. ..z.
On account Of the activity of the
farmers in the vicinity of Bu'ord, it is
predicted that the Buford. Trenton pro-
ject will be completed during the SUN.
mer Of 1907. Such activity on the part
of the farmers has encouraged the
government officials and greatly ex-
pedited the work. ~: .@-
Already monster petition signed by
all of the leading citizens in the Willis
ton district has been prepared, asking
the secretary of the interior to continue
in the irrigation work in that district.
1t is hoped that project Of about 3d.
600 acres can be developed.
A meeting of land owners was held ut
Nesson Tuesday, but on account Of the
short time before when the notice OF
the meeting was announced, a complete
representation was not in attendance.
However, arrangements we're made for
the holding Of another meeting when
the action Of the buford people will
undoubtedly be followed. The Nesson
project includes about IS 900 acres.
At the present time survey work il
being carried on between Buford and

A Creeping Death.
M. =. Church Burned.

About 3 o'clock last Saturday morning
the alarm of fire awoke the sleeping
citizens of Williston. and called them to
witness the destruction of the Metho-
dist church, which burned to the
ground in spite Of all efforts to save the
structure.
The NJ. E. church had a history OF
which our people were proud. 1t was
built as an Episcopal church at Fort
Buford. many years ago, before the
time of railroads. the lumber being
shipped up the Missouri river. When
Fort Buford was abandoned as mill
tary post. the church was bought by the
N. E. society Of this city. sawed in two,
and brought down the river to Willis
ton on sleiebs, where it was recon-
sstructed The fire was undoubtedly Of
origin, the source of which
s~ill probably never be discovered.
