II. s. Clyde returned last week
from an extended surveying job In the

farmers of Glenwood have banded
themselves together for the purpose
of digging an irrigation ditch from
the head waters of the Big Muddy and
Hellroaring creeks to Glenwood, and
MI. Clyde has been out surveying
this line. The line Of survey runs
through the Indian reservation as well
as the forest reserve, and the compa-
nv will get pei mission from the gov
ernment to cut their ditch through
both these reserves. The line is now
surveyed out to the settlements and
