The Havre Public Library has now
its second year.
It's work has gone on quietly but
none the less effectively. From lack
of funds it's growth has been limited
but its usefulness must be apparent to
all observers and we trust that its
influence has been felt.
1t has been the intention OF the IL
brary association to keep the room op-
Ell every afternoon and evening and
with only few unavoidable except
ions this has been accoplished through
the faithfulness of the following per-
sons, to whom great thanks are due,
Mesdames Broadwater, Smith, Allen,
irwin, Brady, Goff, Oldson, Howard,
Owen, Walker, and Misses Georgianna
Sanderson, Richards, Brady, Chase,
Ling, Loretta de Lorimier, Bucking
ham, Glendinning and Messrs Aue--
bach, Skinner and Davis.
Cards have been issued this year to
lao new member; those holding cards
now numbering 446, to whom 29i1
books have been issued.
The reading room has been used
by 3173 persons, most of whom We're
men.
81 books have been given and 90
purhased There are now in the IL
brary 1858 volumes.
The following magazines have been
taken: The Century, Scribner, Nc
Clure, Harper's Bazaar, The Lady s
Home Journal and Delinator; and the
following given regularly; Atlantic
Monthly, Outlook, Book News, The
World of Today, The Pacific Month
ly, Railway Age, and Literary Digest.
This coming year we intend to add
the Scientific American, particularly
for our mechanics.
The full numbers of the best mag
zines are kept on file but the 9th
ers, after having served their useful
ness in our library, are sent to dist
ant ranches.
During the year we have given thre
entertainments the proceeds of which
with the money allowed by the city
council, Mr.. w. Z. Houser's gift and
the collections from our citizens have
enabled us to pay our running eX'
penses and purchase our reading mat

Pray is not accustomed to trying
cases upon insufficient information.
If, however, the United States Court
of Appeals should uphold the con-

make new arrangements. Pray Of

best informed on these differences in
all Montana, will be in congress at

the law against the contention of
the irrigation association and the de-

Pray will prove as valuable a man
in congress as any of his predecessors
ever hoped to be.
While all Montana is TO be con-

that it has particular cause for fell

the election, that Montana chose we'll

most acceptable to the president and

and for them; who is today, in fact,

bound to act as their attorney before

During his tour OF the northern tier
of counties Congressman Dixon visited

DIXON, He WENT THROUGH
Congressman's Visit in Havre Shows Him
Still at work for the City and for
Northern Montana.

Whatever the outcome of the sena-
torial contest in the next session of
the Montana legislature, 1t cannot be
said that Joseph M. Dixon, whether
he assume the toga or retires to the
practice of law, has not thoroughly In
formed himself of the needs of his
state. His tour Of Northern Mont-
ana and close Investigations of all
conditions and controversies regard
ing land, mineral, water and treaty
rights this week, following upon the
close of an arduous campaign, came
largely as surprise to both Indian
and white man.
A large number of the more inn
portant of these hundreds of contro-
versies are to come before congress
sional committees for initial adjudi-
cation at the approaching session OF
the laWgivers and an equally large
number are to be threshed over be-
fore the department and cabinet Of
fic:als. Mr.. Dixon spent the greater
portion of the week following the e.
lection and portion Of this one in
making personal investigation into
these conflicting claims; going over
the ground involved in every con-
ceivable form of range conveyance.
He was in Havre Monday in consult
alton with President Newman Of the
Milk River United Irrigation associ-
alton and other members of the same
enterprising body. On his way back
to his home in Missoula, he said, he
would stop in Great Falls and dis
cuss the controversy regarding the
great Conrad ditch with w. G. Con-
rad, the president of the company
The even flow of the big waterway
is being assailed on the grounds Of
prior rights both by Indian treaty
and location, and the final decision
of the government regarding this
single enterprise will have materia
bearing on the whole Of the future
details affecting the general Milk riv-
er irrigation project.
THE problems connected with tho
Conrad ditch enterprises" said the
congressman, "are to me the most
confusing of any of the many cues
