Mukden, March The Russians
have seized the head Of the bridge
across the Shakhe river in the center
Of the Japanese lines, assisted by ar
tillery firing of particular energy from
Putiloff hill and Novogorod hill.
The seizure of the railway bridge
across the Shakhe river was the occa-

succeeded in surprising the japanese
bridge guards and, reinforced, beat of
all attempts of the Japanese to regain
possession of it. The Japanese are

The situation on the Russian left

Fighting is in progress along the

IRRIGATION PETITION

The matter Of endeavoring to get
the people in the lower Milk river
valley interested in the proposition Of
making protest to Secretary Of State
Hay against the Dominion authorities
diVerting the waters of the Milk river
for their own and leaving that stream
dry for the people on this side is
again being agitated. Mayor New
man has taken up the matter and is
sending out petitions requesting
signerS. 1t will be remembered that
about year ago there was a little
furry in this valley when it was dis
covered that the Canadian authorities
had about 100 teams at work eXcavat-
ing ditch for the purpose, but the
matter apparently dropped for the
reason that there was not an organic
ed movement to make the protest to
the government officials. The fact
Of the matter is that the question of
water rights is the same with nations
as among individuals and in as much
as the people along the valley jn this
state have been using the river for
irrigating purposes long before the
Canadian government had any settler
at all near that portion of the stream
that runs through Canada it would
seem that if the proper pressure were
brought to bear upon our government
the matter would be speedily and
satisfactorily adjusted. Blank petit
tions will be found with the Mayor
for the convenience of those who
wish to sign it. Get your protest in
now and help out the toiling rancher.
