GOVERNMENT PLANS
Z MODEL TOWNS
Reclaimed Land Will Be the Basis
Of Support for Reservation
Municipalities.

Special to The Journal. .'~
Billings, Mont, Nov. 3.-Under the
direction Of the government reclamation
service, plans for the laying out and
building up of model towns on the Fort
Shaw reservation will be taken up by
s. B. Robbins, government engineer, as
soon as; the irrigation project, now I'M
der construction, is completed.
Two model townsites six miles apart
will be laid out on land which has been
reclaimed. Each townsite will consist
of 100 acres, and will be in a perfect
square, in the center of which will be
placed the public school building on
plat of land containing over two acres.
The principal thorofares of the city will
radiate from this center, each street
being sixty feet in width.
The business lots will number twenty
four, and will all be arranged on one
different sizes, graduating from an area
Of one-third of an acre to something
over five acres. s&i1- 45Js - - lb{S<,.za
The object in laying out this model
town is that it may be occupied by
farmers, who will go there for the pur-
pose of educating their children and
will drive out to their farms in the DAY
time, to carry on their. work. The
towns will not be farther than three
miles from any farm. The lots will be,
sold at public auction. ~'@'F p. ~
Largest Irrigation Tunnel.
Work on the big Corbett irrigation
tunnel, a part of the Shoshone project,
is going on rapidly under the direc-
ton of the Billings Construction COM
pany,. and it is expected the system
may be used next season. This canal,
three miles in length, is the longest
irrigation tunnel in the United States,
and will carry head Of water sufficient
to irrigate many thousands of acres.
Large quantities of cement and other
necessary supplies have been received,
and winter quarters have been estab-
lished. Over 500 men are employed in
the work. ...-~..~>

DRAINAGE IN A PARAGRAPH.

Let's drop all technical ques-
tons as to the practicability of
successfully draining the Ever
glades, as to their value to the
people when drained, and even
as to whether we need these
lands badly enough to increase
our taxes for this purpose, and
discuss a phase of the question
not requiring technical knOwl-
edge, but which may be under
stood by every taxpayer and citi-
zen: The L. & N. Railroad Com
pany claims the Everglades as a
grant to them by the Florida
Legislature. The Internal I'm
prOvement Board claims that the
Legislatures grant was without
legal authority and is void. The
question of ownership is pending
in a case before the courts, and
will be decided solely on laws al
ready enacted. Who owns the
Everglades? Who will own them
after our money has been spent
to drain them? If the railroad
company wins it's suit, then every
cent invested in drainage will go,
along with the land, to the rail-
road company. Do you want
your money spent improving
property which you have no sure
title to, and which may finally go
to this corporation? If we drain
this property, is it not business
common sense to wait until we
are sure who owns it, the State
or the railroad? Governor Brow
ard has claimed that the anti
drainage movement and all it's
arguments were in the interest
Of and prompted by the railroads.
Might we not more logically claim
that the Governors high-handed
efforts to force this drainage on
an unwilling citizenship was in
the interest of the l.. & N. Co.
and that he is really endeavoring
to spend the peoples money
while the question of ownership
is being fought out in the cOurts)
to increase the value of the now
almost worthless lands so that
the railroad company might profit
when the question of ownership
is decided in it's favor? Don't
you think so, fellow-VOter?
