VALLEY COUNTY
BOOM ATTRACTIVE

James Kehoe, formerly deputy shec-
iff of Havre township and for a long
time proprietor of tonsoTial parlors in
this city, who is at the present the
popular boniface of Hotel Overland in
Fort Benton, has entered on a new
business venture. He was in the city
this morning Oh his way to Culbcrt-
son, where he completed the rurchace
of the Evans hotel He says that the
recent growth in population in and a.
bout Culbertson is nothing short Of
phenominal and cannot be appreciat-
ed without a visit to that region.
Over thirteen full sections Of land in
the Culbertson district have been filed
upon and settled, the majority of the
settlers having families, within the
two past spring months.
Without a doubt says Mr.. kefoe
who is an old timer and student OF
Northern Montana development, this
rapid influx of new settlers means
their speeding toward Havre,

HAVRE POSTAL
BUSINESS GROWS

Facts speak beyond bubble. More
Of the progress of Havre was yester-
day notably and welcomely shown by
the instruction to Postmaster Thomas
a. Mckenzie from Washington that
the Havre postoffice, by reason of the
annual increas in business had been
raised to the second class position and
was in line to organize a free delivery
system, should that be deemed adyi5-
able.
Last year but five other postoffices
in all Montana showed the proportions
ate growth in the postoffice business
that did Havre. These were Butte,
Helena, Missoula, Lewistcwn and Red
Lodge. Net even Billings, with all its
phenomenal growth, has the same rec
ord of progress SO far as the postoffice
affairs are concerned and these are
generally a fair idnex of the business
and Industrial conditions of any COM
munity.

promises that have been made Havre
by these gentlemen in the last two
years, twice on the occasion of visits,
there appears no hope of securing any
assistance for Assinniboine from them
unless the republican press and as
sociated cohorts shall WELD a bigger
Big Stick than they SO far appear in
cllned to arm themselves with. The
far hope that Congressman elect Pray
can get President Roosevelt to inter-
fere in the behalf of Assinniboine ap-
pears to be the best hope that North
ern Montana has at this writing.
AS indicative of the spirit animat-
ing Northern Montana, there is reas-
on to rejoice whether the fort is saw
ed to the section or not, for the dang
er to Havre seems as if in day to
have knit the whole region into closer
sympathy, alignment and effort. Pet
ty jealousies have paused if they
have not been forgotten. Think of a

1t is doubtful whether many of us,
events, realize how rapidly our north
ern range is transforming into farm
country The proof of the pudding
is in the eating. The business of
the Great Falls land district has
become unbearably heavy and Satur-
day last saw the opening of new
land office in Glasgow, Valley county,
that will have jurisdiction over all Of
Valley county and of large strip
of eastern Chouteau county. Statis-
tics of the general land office show
that outside portion of Oklahoma,
Valley county has beaten all records
for rapid settlement for two decades.
The movement is westward.
Practically all the land around Cul-
bertson, where but two short years
ago nothing grew but bunch grass and
grease wood and nothing ranged but
the fierce steer and the festive cowboy
practically all of this land is now
being tickled by the plow and en-
couraged by the harrow. Settlement
has extended sixty miles from the
Great Northern railroad. There is
little land left for settlement east OF
the Chouteau county line, and, so, an
other season will bring these thous-
ands of settlers farther along Milk
River valley, at least to Saco, perhaps
as far as Havre.
And this settlement will go on
whether the government shall have by
that time perfectd it's great irrigation
plan, or not. The government, all

In his explanation accorded Senator
Clapp regarding the proposed aband-
onment of Fort Assinniboine, Secre-
tary Of War Taft says: so far as
the cavalry at Forts Assinniboiae and
Keogh is concerned, the absence Of
troops in Cuba and the necessity for
concentrating squdrons into regi-
ments requires the removal of these
squdrons, which has long been con-
templated.'' Secretary Taft shows
thus that it is still the fixed mind Of
the department to abandon Assinni-
bOine and that the outlook is not en-
couraging despite "the long pull, the
hard pull and the pull altogether
that is being made by Northern Mont
ana, assisted by North Dakota and
Minnesota friends. Nothing has been
heard during the week from Oily Tom

a grave silence. Despite all the

COAL ROAD

During the past week work on the
grade OF the electric tramway from
the coal mines to the tipple site at
the bench north of town has been
progressing nicely and the deep cut
at the crest of the bench is nearly
completed. The tipple and coal
bunker building will be constructed or
a series of foundations running up
the bench bank and the rock excav-
ations Tor these will be commenced
the first of the week. The construct
ion of the standard gauge spur from
the railway company sidetracks to
the tipple will commence just as soon
as the material for the track and
the river bridge can be shipped in.
MI. Costello, who is the head OF the
Great Northern Industrial department,
was in the city on Sunday and spent
the afternoon going through the work
ings of the mines and examining the
project as planned by the coal COM
pany, and in response to the query
of a Herald man, said: MY interest

even by the people of Miles City that
these forts must go.
Major General McCaskey, command
ing the Department of the Dakotas,
has put himself on record in an inter-
view as being opposed to the an
nounced policy of the war department
in abandoning either Smelling or AS
sinniboine. Congressman-elect Pray,
fortified with protests from all over
Montana, is awaiting an audience with
the president, believing it useless to
waste time with any of the lesser
lights. Nevertheless, as perhaps, the
most encouraging fact about the situ-
alton, it may be noted that Secretary
of War Taft has held the execution o.
his order in allegiance upon the pro-
test of Senator Clapp of Minnesota,
and has promised to confer with the
senator in Minneapolis before having
further definite action taken
1t is quite probable that Secretary
Taft on this occasion will be con-
fronted by a large protesting delega-
ton made up from several Northern
Montana cities. The organization of

MAR|AS aim

The project for the Marias diversion
| in the Milk river irrigation plans of
the government has by no means
| been abandoned, despite the opposit-
ion of the engineers in charge and
the aloofness of the Milk River Un-
tied Irrigation association and the
Havre Industrial association. w. r.
Cowan of Box Elder was in the city
Wednesday boosting the Marias pro-
ject and making arrangements for a
mass meeting some time during the
summer which will form an organiza-
ton from all the towns in the terri
tory interested for the purpose of
further urging change in the pro-
ject.
In an interview accorded the Herald
this week. Mr.. Cowan sheds consider
able new light on the plans of those
interested in the Marias diversion,
and which may make it taken to in
Milk River valley more fondly than
IL mas Deen IN tne past.
1T is mistaken idea held by many
misinformed persons that the Marias
diversion is to rob the lower Milk
River valley of the benefits of gov
ernment irrigation. On the contrary
the plans as arranged by the promot
ers of this Marias project provide for
dam that shall turn an ample am
cunt of water into Big Sandy and that
by that stream be carried along to
the confluence with the Milk
The status is this, so far as we
who are urging the Marias project

be disposed off, the order is not yet
effective and no date has been set
for the removal of the first squadron
Of the Second cavalry now occupying
the post.
In the meantime, protest after
protest is going forward to Washing
ton from every city in Chouteau coun-
ty and a notable assistance is loaned

Great Falls, a totally unexpected re-
source of help Minnesota's senat-
ors, congressman and commercial bod
les are also up in arms as the order
that consigns Assinniboine to oblivion
also contemplates the practical aband-
onment of Fort Smelling, which for
over a quarter Of century has been
the headquarters Of the Department
Of the Dakotas. The effort of the
powers is equally directed
to the saving of Assinniboine, though
little has been said in the dispatches
about Forts keogh and Yellowstone.
1t appears to be generally accepted
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1907-06-07

the report, sent out by the Associated
Press, that the war department had
ordered the abandonment of Fort AS
sinniboine, but those who desire the
maintenance of that post must not
consider the danger past
There is every indication that it is
the purpose Of the department to
abandon two Or more Of the forts in
Montana, and it is up to the people of
northern Montana to stir up a row
that will result in the maintenance of
Assinniboine as military post and
its enlargement to brigade post.
There is to be a brigade post in
Montana. 1t will be idle for Mon
tana people to protest against the
abandonment Of certain posts in the
state. What they must do is to con-
vince those in authority that Assinni-
boine should not be abandoned. The
officers of the war department are
seeking information, and the inform
alton concerning Fort AssinniboTna
must be furnished by the people of

On HAvRE:

Just as an instance of what is 60
l"s on about Havre this week and
| that few citizens probably reason
| ally appreciate is the visit Of ASST
ant General Traffic Manager Ken

Costello, of the Great Northern de-
v2lJi .nent forces. They have made
a thorough survey of the developing
coal lands, and, in addition went out
Tuesday with L. K. Devlin to investi-
gate the cement deposits. They were
frank to say that in their opinion
neither the coal nor the cement in
vestors had made a mistake.
While the coal development is going
along more rapidly than is that Of the
cement beds these students of Mont
ana advancement are enthusiastic to
declare that the cement layout will
in the long run prove Of greatest
moment to Hayre.
Here we find,' says Mr.. Kenny,
"a storehouse of building material
comfortable to the locality in which
it is to be needed-in easy reaching

Ihe following notice was sent out
today by L. Newman, president of the
MILK River Irrigation association, to
the executive committee of the as
soclation, the membership of which
is located in all the towns in Milk
River valley:
IN view of the deplorabe state of
affairs existing in the Milk River val
leyandNorthern Montana, due to the
inactivity of the reclamation service
and apparent indisposition ON the
part of our national government to
promote the interests CT the valley
by giving the Milk river irrigation
project proper attention, and after
an expressed desire by a number of
executive men of our association, a
meeting Of the executive commjtte is
hereby called, to be held at Malta.
Mont, June 10, at / p. M, at the Of
flee Of P. W. Brockway."
In speaking of the probable action
that might be taken by the executive
committee of the association. Pyesid-
ent Newman states in an authorized
interview that: "The entire popula-
ton of the Milk River valley is in
censed at the treatment received at
the hands OF the government in con-
nection with the Milk river irrigation
project
This disappointment" says the pre-
sident of the irrigation association, is
not nearly so great on account of
the seeming lack of proper progress
in the completion of the project by
the government as it is that indivi-
duals under existing statutes and re-
gulations are prevented from COM
pleting their own natural irrigation
improvements
Very peculiar hardships are being
imposed upon the people of this great
valley by the government; it does
not seem to be able to make good
speed in doing aanything for the
valley and it will not allow the people
to do anything for themselves. Since
1902 many settlers have located on
the lands of the valley and have made
the necessary improvements under
the law; none of these can now get a
patent for the land On account Of the
reclamation law which has so far fail
ed to reclaim"
Continuing in his interview with the
Herald, President Newman makes this
broad declaration:
The opinion is prevalent in the
Milk river valley that simply with the
expenditure already made by the gov
eminent at the headwaters of the pro-
posed reclamation work, a system
should have been devised and oper-
ated by which enough of the floodwat-
ers Of the spring couud be conserved
to irrigate the entire valley" The
money already expended by the peo-
pie in the valley in individual effort to
have the government proceed with the
the larger irrigation project, and in
assisting the government to overcome
legal obstacles, would have reclaimed
thousands of acres of land if the peo-
pie of the valley had been at liberty

 That there had been clashes between Thaw and his attorneys was not un- known but there was some surprise nevertheless. when il was announced that the Olcott firm would withdraw from the case.

In the end the firm turned over all the papers 1t had in the case to Mir. Hartridge
 The same activity that was exhibited by Thaws attorneys in the case was also witnessed in the office of the district at torney. It seemed as If every second man and woman in New York-partlcularly women-had something to say about the principals in it. So many women or the chorus went down to the district attor- ney's office with their stories that 1t looked as if the case was to result in trial by chorus girls The mania to say something about Harry Thaw or Stanford White, combined with desire to get her picture in the papers. in half a dozen different poses. drove many shapely footlight favorte to seek the criminal courts building as early as IL o'clock in the morning.
 The district attorney believes that if the trial proceeds in the ordinary way his case against Thaw is such that, bare of all appeals to human emotion, 1t should result in the finding of verdict of murder in the first degree. He is of the opinion. however.
