State Holds Dearborn Lands.

HELENA, August 15.-The govern
ment will no longer interfere with the
reclaim alton of land on the Dearborn
river in the northern part of this
county under the Carey act. Notitica.
ton of the abandonment of proceed.
ings to cauce! patent has been re.
ceived by Governor Toole from the
commissioner of the general land Of
fee. In the letter the commissioner
states that the government is satisfied
of the good faith Of the state in the
matter: that the secretary of the int.
rior took the matter up with the re.
clamation officials and they interposed
no objection to allowing the state to
proceed with the work.
1t will be rememb bered that a number
of years ago the Ames Realty COM
pauy contracted with the state to re-.
claim land on the Dearborn under the
terms of the Carey Land act. The
work was started and several miles Of
the main canal completed, when 1t was
found that the irrigated land could
not be sold for enough to pay for the
cost of constructing the works and 80
the work was abandoned. The gov.
ernment had already issued patent to
the state for several thousand acres
when work was stopped and then pro.
ceedings were brought to again vest
title in the government on the ground
that patent had been obtained by
fraud.
Now, however, that work has started
again and it is the intention OF the
state to have the work finished, the
government has dropped the matter
and will no longer hinder the work.
About 10000 acres will be reclaimed.

Woman Got the Land.

HELENA, August 4.-Among the 25
applicants that appeared at the
Helena land Office today to file on
timber land recently restored and
which had been Withdrawn to add to
the Lewis and Clark reserve.
was q middle aged woman from Pow.
ell county. She appeared at the Office
at 5 o'clock this morning, but four
men who had camped on the federal
building steps all night were ahead of
her.
She secured the land she wanted
and after she left her story came out.
Her husband was haying and couldn',
leave the ranch, but the tract OF land
adioined the ranch and meant much
to the family. Timber cruisers exam.
ined it last week and staked it out.
The woman was determined that they
should not get it, but that her hus.
band and children should have it.
At the last minute when her hus'
band couldn't leave she secured a
saddle horse and rode IS mile;
through the timber to Bonner's sta
ton on the Northern Pacific, arriving
lust in time to take the train for Hell
ena. She arrived at the land Office
this morning before the timber cruis
ers did and saved the tract.
In all half million acres of land
was subject to entry this morning a.
the Helena, Missoula and Kalispel
land offices. Much of the land is GOV
cred with q dense growth of timber
and the competition to secure certain
tracts was very keen.

seasons and in all kinds of weather.
A new rule provides that If the m ails
are late 10 times IN any route during
q period OF 80 days the road shall be
assessed l5 per cent the pay for that
quarter.
Under the speed stand ards as now
established, railroad men declare, 1t
will be marvel for almost any OF the
big western systems to escape having
their Important mail trains late more
th an 10 times in 80 days.

ALONG RIVER TRIP.
Butte Navigators Expect To Reach
New Orleans In. December.

The pleasures Of hunting trip
down the Missouri river have attr acted
the attention Of party of Butte
citizens, who propose to take the water
route from this city to New Orleans.
An outline Of their plans is given by
the Butte Inter Mountain in q news
item, which says:
Three Butte men will leave next
week on what promises to be q long
voyag Of adventure, iflnot discovery.
John NJ. Rochester, j. N. .tTalbot and
Louis Clark will embark in few days
at Fort Benton in q gasoline launch
for Q trip down the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers. They expect to
reach New Orleans by the middle Of
December and from that city will con-
tinue to the mouth of the Mississippi,
from where they will shipi their boat
to the west coast of Florida, expecting
to remain several months in that Sec
ton.
Mr.. Rochester and Mr.. Talbot will
leave for Fort Benton, thei head of
navigation, Monday. They! will be
joined little later by Mr.l.Clark.
The trio will necessarily follow the
course of Lewis aud Clark :on their
famous expedition upi the Missouri
river more than 100 years ago, but
will 90 down the river instead of up
that stream and with the aid of their
power boat will IN AXE the trip in a few
weeks. They will hunt andlfsh ou the
way, and will stop wherever:sport pro-
misses to be particularly good. They
will have no schedule and will take
their own time to make the.trip.
The launch that will be used,by the
trio OF hunters has beenlibuilt espe.
cially for the proposed trip. 1t is of
steel and is IS feet long, drawing 10
inches of water. It:is provided with
q specially strong engine, Ecapable Of
driving the boat down stream in an
eight.mile current about 20 imiles an
hour. As it draws l9.inches of water,
the Butte navig ators expect to have
the usual experiences with sandbars
on the way. Undoubtedlyisthey will
be stuck on sandbars repeatedly but
with the aid of their powerful little
gasoline engine they expect to be able
to dig their way, stern first, through
m any of the lesser bars.
The Butte hunters will visit all Of
the towns on the Missouri and on the
upper stretches of the stream will
make frequent stops to hunt. They
will pass through some Of the best
game country in North America, deer
antelope and other game being plenti.
full in many places along the river.
All three of the navigators are iuter-
ested Ia the Moccasin Livestock COM
pany, which owns a big ranch 30
miles from the Missouri river, in
Fergus county. They will spend some
time at this ranch as the guests Of the
manager, who will see that they get
some good antelope hunting For
this trip they will land At the Judith,
where the manager OF the ranch, Mr..
, Gortmiller. will meet them and take
them to the home ranch.
