CONGRESS
Senate Summary.

Washington. April 17.-Injunction against the enforcement of State laws can only bsM issued by 8 majority of three FederNe Judges who are to passs upon them If a bill that passed the Senate today becomes law.
 The bill was drafted in the Judiciary Committee from a number of measures under consideration. It was reported by Senator overman and its provisions were explained by him to the Senate. A substitute by Senator Burkett was disagreed to. The Overman bill was opposed by MT.

 The Senate discussed at length the bill to appropriate the proceeds from the sale of certain public lands for the reclamation of swamp lands. but made little progress towards its passage.

John Survant was a business
visitor at Fl. Benton the first of
the week.
John Wagner, a we'll known
sheepman, from the Harlem
country, was in the city last
Tuesday, attending to business
matters.
A young son of Norman Nault,
the contractor at Wagner. died
last Tuesday evening from in
flammation of the bowels. The
boy was about II years of age,
and has been away at school all
year and had been home only
three days when he took sick
and died suddenly.
Elmer Morton, the young
mill boss at Zortman, who has
been in the city for the past
month receiving treatment for
badly injured shoulder, is now
again on the good order list and
left the first of the week for
Zortman where he will resume
his position at one of the mills of
the mining camp.
Shearing was concluded at the
Malta shearing corrals yester-
day evening and it is reported
by those in charge that it was a
very successful season. The
shearers all made good stake,
despite the fact that owing to
the dry season shearing was
made exceptionally hard. The
majority of the shearers left fol

ton of Shearers will be held.

brought to the city the first of
the week by his parents, suffer-
ing with bad dislocation of the
shoulder. After several hard
efforts by Drs. Rooney and
Clay, it was decided to send
the young patient to Great
Falls, where he will have better
accommodations and more at
tention can be paid to the in
jured shoulder.
1t is reported from Harlem
that an attempt was made early
Tuesday morning to burglarize
the large mercantile establish
ment of Chas. A. Smith, and on
ly for the timely appearance of
the proprietor, the robbery
would have been a success It
appears that about 2 o'clock a.
M, a passerby saw two men
making an effort to enter the
store, and he Immediately re-
ported his suspicious to the pro-
prietor, who at once made haste
to the scene with a large gat,
and after exchanging several
shots succeeded in locating one
of them. while the other party
vamoosed to the good.
While hauling lumber for a
sheep camp, for Sower Bros, in
the Larb Hills, Fred Longren
met with an accident which
caused his death, last Wednes
day afternoon. 1t appears that
the unfortunate man was haul
ing the lumber in a hay rack,
and had on quite large load,
and in making short turn the
entire load was turned over,
catching him underneath it all,
killing him instantly. His face
and body was badly bruised.
The body was brought to this
city and the county coroner was
summoned and Thursday after.
noon an inquest was held,
" hich resulted in verdict Civ

came to his death, by the acct

of lumber. The remains were
buried in the Malta cemetery
Thursday afternoon by his
friends and employers. Longren
has been making Malta and vi.

years, and was known to be a
good and honest worker. In
Havre he was quite we'll known

that he emigrated from SW eden

answer questions concerning this pre-
posed issuance of script or water
bonds. There were present Senators
Ankeny (Chairm an of the Cemmittee)
Nixon, Flint, Newlands, Borah and
Sutherland. The Chairman request
ed Senator Flint to state the object OF
the hearing and Senator Flint replied:
'Thc object, as understand it, is to
take the testimony of the Secretary OF
the Interior and the Director OF the
Reclamation Service ia reference to the
issuance of certificates by the Water
Users Associ alton, which certificates
are approved by the Rsclamation Ser
vice, and to ascertaint' what extent

prevail of Congress-, and whether or
not these certificates are authorized

they could only be used to pay those
who were engaged in the actual con-

side of the Office and net incidental
thereto). TO conform with the wishes
of the Sen ate Committee the original
ontract was called in and another
one, embodying these desired feat
ures, was submitted for the Water
Users. Association to sign in place
thereof, reading that Zero dollars in
water bonds" were to be used for the
expenses OF the office. This was again
returned to Washington and another
one submitted for signature which did
not touch upon the feature OF water
bonds to pay the expenses of the Of
flee in any way at all. The last one
contained number of minor changes
which it was deemed best to make.
In explanation OF this it is only fair
the Reclamation Service to say that
this plan of construction is wholly
new and that it is inst now getting the
forms, blanks and contracts in prac'
tical and satisfactory shape. Not
only had the salaries of the officers OF
the w alter Tsers' Association nothing
to do with the changing of this con-
tract, except as above stated, but the
contract had nothing to do with the de-
laying of the work, as Mr.. Birum
would have you believe. The real de-
Law of the work was caused, first, by
the fact that four miles OF track of the

evenly the cost Of this change with

while uncomfortable, saved the peo-
pie of this Valley an expenditure of
practically 900. 1t is rather
strange that Mr.. Birum has not COM
mented upon this and can only be &C.
counted for upon the ground that no
one had ever suggested to him that
such thing was on foot. The most
serious cause for delay. however, was
the position taken by the Reclamation
Service that no bids would be asked
for and no construction begun until

with the Lower Milk River Water
Users Association providing that all
water rights hereafter should be

Valley should have the water meas.

the same mann sr as the man 1t the up
per end when St. Mary's water was
turned into Milk River. The signing
of this agreement dragged, because
not only did the Reclamation Service
require the half score ditch companies
to sign by their proper Officers. but it
required that each individual stock
holder in the various canal compan.
les should affix his personal signature
as we'll as having his wife attix hers.
and it was no wonder that the several
hundred people scattered up and
down the Milk River Valley for hum
dred miles or more Guild not be easily
gotten before notary public to have
their signatures acknowledged. FL
nally ON the 10Th day of June. the last
signers affixed their names at Chinook,
Harlem and Dodson, and on that date
bids were asked for, to be opened on
the 10th day of July. Certain parties
informed the Water Users Associa-
ton that they coald not get around to
seq the work until later and the time
was extended to the 18th day of July
and on the 18th they were opened and
it was found that the first miles from
the Dodson dam to point of rocks was
covered by bids except the sold rock
work upon which bids were not asked
especially, at this time. Everybody
but Mr.. Birum seems glad Of this and
he will be as soon as he finds out that
he is really under the Dodson Malta
South Side Canal. You see the trou-
BILE with Mr.. Birum was that this is q
big country and it is long way from
Dodson to Saco, and the canal is cir
cuitous and round about, and in his
mental attempt TO follow its meander-
ings he became slightly tangled up
and perhaps not himself coming back.
It is easy to see that he is all ''shot
to pieces" mentally worrying over
the thing. He can't even locate him.

MUST RESPOND

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE DICK
LAW WHICH EFFECTS STATE
MILITIA.

A change in the Dick militia law is
that now the original militia must be
called into service in the event of war
Immediately after the regular army,
and before any volunteers are called
for. Each regiment will go into the
United States service exactly as it is
constituted at the outbreak of war.
There will be no asking the men to
volunteer. Every officer and enlisted
man must go if he wishes to escape
punishment by a court-martial au-
thOrized to punish him as it sees fit.
Heretofore cOurt-martial for the
trial of militiamen were composed Of
militia officers only, but now, under
the amendment, a minority of the
court may be composed of regular ar

The National Guard is subject to
the call of the president as a rein

A writer in an exchange, discussing

them to have a hobby as the necessary

Joint Will, Will Probably Cause
Special Construction on Document

Did John Shafer and his wife Eliza

at the same time? A joint will was
made by them April %, 1905.
The questions have arisen as the re-
suit of the will being placed on file
at the office of the county clerk. A
petition will be made to the circuit
court asking construction of the docu-
ment. The will does not provide any
emergency clause and as the testator
is dead and the testratrix is not the
emergency has arisen.
The will stipulates that upon the
deaths of Mr. and Mrs Shafer their

there is no stipulation providing for

burial ground near Hagerstown But
only Mr.. Shafer has deceased so the
