Custer County Corn.

MILES City, Oct. IA. b. Clarke,
the range horse man. is also a farmer
OF considerable experience and has q
large and productive irrigated ranch
on Tongue river. Mr.. Clarke has
placed on exhibition in one of the
store windows a box of corr raised on
his ranch, there being the yellow dent,
squaw corn and a hybrid produced by
crossing the two varieties. The yellow
dent has yielded fifty bushels, shelled,
to the acre. II is believed that in the
mixture of dent and squaw corn the
ideal variety for Montana climate will
be secured, as it ripens early and a
be grown without irrigation. The
stalk is also of sufficient height TO per.
nit OF It's being cut by machine. Mr..
Clarke i, more interested in demon.

cultural country than he is in making

DOddcr In Alfalfa Fields.

In discussing the matter of dodder
in alfalfa fields, of which mention was
recently made in the River Press, H.
j. O'Hanlon, the we'll known Chinook
merchant, informs us there has been
considerable trouble with the pest on
Milk river valley ranches. If it is not
e%radicated, it will eventually destroy
the alfalfa crop.
According to Mr.. O'HanlOu, the
pest may be exterminated by burning,
If it exists only in small patches. The
plan adopted by Milk river ranchers
is to haul a lot of spoiled hay to the
field, pile it on the patches where the
dodder is growing, and burn over the
infested area. 1t is said the alfalfa
roots will not be destroyed by this
process. Where the dodder has spread
all over the field, the best plan is to
pillow up the alfalfa and seed the land
to grain.

A NEW IRRIGATION PROJECT.
thousands of Acres In Prickiy Pear Val
ley Will lie Reclaimed.
Helena ~lnCepencent,

Helena Independent.
James P. Porter. acting in behalf of
the Missouri River Power company,
has secured agreements with land
owners for the irrigation of $1,000
acres In the Prickly Pear valley ad.
jacent to Helena, aud the company
will o proceed at once to the on.
struction OF the pumping station and
bitches which will provide all the
water needed for about $1,000 acres.
The supply Of water for this extern.
tensive reclamation will be taken from
Lake Hauser, whence it will be
pumped to a distributing level 100 feet
higher and become available by
gravity and al a very low cost for use
over at least 20, 200 acres.
The low maximum cost of the pro-
posed supply of water for irrigation
was the consideration which persuad-
ed the owners of Ii, 0 acres to come
to an understanding with the company
and it is estimated that the enterprise
will add hundreds of thousands of dol.
lars value to the acreage under its
influence.
The low cost of pumping, which 10
the chief item of expense, Is made pos.
sible by the surplus flow of water in
the Missouri at the very time when ir-
rigation is in progress. The surplus,
or intermitting power, being over and
above the regular supply of power
generated on regular contracts, can
be sold at a minimum cost and this
fact, a. demonstrated to farmers and
landowners in the valley, determined
them to take advantage of the sure
and copious supply Of water for irri.
CATION offered by the power company.
A lift Of 100 feet will be required to
supply the $1,000 acres contemplated
in the first area to be watered, but
surveys and engineering estimates
have been completed which show tina,
a lift of an additional 100 feet would
bring 10000 acres more, a total of 40.
600 acres, under water at a cost far
lower than any system yet attempted
can show.

SACO WNS MIDDLE.
Federal Officials Decide That Land Was
Not Properly Acquired.
Great Falls Leader

Great Falls Leader
Register B%urlingame and Receiver
Wilson of the Great Falls land Office
have just rendered a decision in a
case OF much more than ordinary inn
p%ortauce. the case involving nothing
less than the townsite Of Saco, on
which are now located stores. dwell.
ing houses, a postoffice and other
evid ences Of a lively and growing
town.
The case vas one brought by the
United States against George W.
Lowell, to determine the RICH, of the
latter to the desert claim upon which
the townsite is situated. The local
land Office officials have decided in
favor Of the government and have
recommended that the entry Of Lowell
be cancelled.
On July %, 1901, George Dorner,
special agent. made a report in the
matter. stating that he had made a
personal examination Of the trac; in
question and had found the town of
Saco located thereon: that at the time
OF the original fling, there were six
Or seven buildings upon the land and
a: the time of making Of final proof,
II buildings, i%ucludin- two general
stores, four saloons, ice house, post
office, etc: that abou: Is tons of hay
were raised upon the land by irriga.
ton: that DO water had oeen used on
the land since proof was made, and
tina. the land could no, be irrigated
without flooding the entire town OF
Saco.
December >, 1902, the commissioner
Of the general land Office suspended
the entry and in August 1906, George
w. Lowell, the claimant, was given a
hearing before &. E. Taylor, United
States commissioner a. Saco. Much
evidence was taken at this hearing.
In making their recommended alton for
the cancellation of the entry, Register
Burliugame and Receiver Wilson
state that the evidence clearly shows
that at the time the entry was made
there was q town there: that the entry
was not made in good faith, but for
speculative, purposes: that prior 70
making of final proof, claimant agreed
to sell lots as soon as he could secure
title and permitted a man to occupy a
building upon the land with that I'm.
derstanding. The officials find that
Lowell never permanently reclaimed
the land or irrigated it: that there was
no permanent system of irrigation es-
tablished, and claimant did not ex-
pend the necessary S. an acre a, year
in reclamation work.
The decision of the local officials ia
the case must be- taken up and acted
upon by the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office at Washington. If i,
is sustained, Judge Tattan. Of the
judicial district in which Saco is 10.
Gated, will probably be petitioned 10
