Miss Bessie E. Wood, Of Mich.
igan, is the new assistant prin--
cipal of the Malta High school.
Miss Wood comes highly recon-

is a graduate of the University
of Michigan and has had two
years experience in highs chool

County Assessor Fox was IN
the city last Monday on busi'
ness. Mr.. Fox is one of the
good old wheel horses of the re-
publican party of Valley County
and in a conversation with the
political editor of the mt e r.
pris 9 said ''Thereis nothing to
it but TAFT, Taft, Taft and re-
publican success. Why, I feel
absolutely certain that Montana
will go republican by large
MAJORITY and ] tell you that
when Montana goes republican
it means that the balance of the
country is piling up wonderful
majorities for G. O. P." While
Mr.. Fox was rather bashful
about intimating to his close and
confidential friends that he was
a candidate for assessor. he
made up for it by boosting Taft
and Sherman. Mr.. Fox has
made a good officer and if he is
nominated he will undoubtedly
gallop into Office again with his
usual easy grace.

HOLD A JOINT
CONFERENCE
THE FEDERAL AND CANADIAN
GOVERNMENTS HOLD JOINT
SESSION AT ALBERTA.

The federal and Canadian
governments have completed a
conference through representa-.
tives, the purpose Of which is to
reach an agreement by which
the United States and Canada
will divide the waters Of the
Milk river. which stream is part.
ly in one country and partly IN
the other. Henry N. Savage,
supervising engineer for this
government, who has had charge
of the irrigation and reclama.
tion scheme in this state known
as the Milk river project, attend.
ed the conference, which was
held in Alberta, and he says
that the inter national commits
sions secured knowledge of the
physical situation in relation to
the river before the conference,
and at the latter discussed the
rights of the two governments
in the water, Their reports will
furnish a basis for an Internal.
ional agreement by which the
water will be divided. The Milk
river has it's headwaters in Mon
tana, the St. Mary's lakes. locat
ed in Montana, having that re-
lation to it. However, it flows
into and for some distance thru
Canada and then returns to
Montana, flowing eastward and
emptying finally in the Missouri.
The Milk river irrigation sys.
tenn of canals and dams is being
constructed in Northern Monta-
ma for tine purpose of reclaiming
a large area of land there. Con.
siderable water wilfbe diverted
from the Milk river COR this pur,
pose before the river enters
Canada.
Hence the Canadian govern
ment is interested in the diver.
sion, having irrigation projects
of it's own to serve with the river
where the latter flows through
Alberta. This government is
going ahead with it's reclama.
tion project in the meantime,
and Mr.. Savage said that the
work of constructing a dam at
Doison and a canal from that
place to Malta is making Salts
factory progress. The land
owners and the government
share the expense of the work.
There are 100 teams at work
now and another hundred will
be added very soon. This irri.
CATION scheme is very important
to Montana, and. the, difficulty
will be satisfactorily settled, &C.
cording to present indications.-

ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO MALTA PEOPLE

Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Schilling
and daughter, Eva, arrived home
the latter part of last week
from an extended visit in Wis.
consin and Indiana. Mr.. Schil-
ling states that while business is
moving along at good steady
pace in the east it does not com.
pare with the good times that
people are enjoying in the west.
Rev. G. E. Haynes shipped his
household goods the latter part
of last week to Roundup, a new
town on the Milwaukee road in
the southern part of the state
where he has been assigned as
pastor of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Haynes and children left
a few days ago for Miles City
where they will visit with Mr..
Haynes parents. Rev. Mr..
Haynes has been pastor of the
Malta church for over two years
and during his stay here made a
number of friends who will join
the Enterprise in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes happiness
and success in their new city.
-. r. B. Moore has contractors at
work on a new telephone line be.
tween this city and Dodson.
The new line will run on the
south side of the river. and will
be in constant connection with
the government work on the big
ditch, Mr.. Moore stated that
the line would be completed
within three weeks. This line
will be a great benefit to the peo.
pie, and especially TO the bust
ness men of Malta, as it will
put them in easy touch with
the people of the upper valley,
who do most of their trading in
this city.
In place OF the regular preach.
ing service at the Methodist
church next Sunday evening the
exercises will be more in the
form of an educational meeting.
A program is being prepared
and the address Of the evening,
"The Relation of the Parent and
Child to the Teacher" will be
delivered by Homer F. Cox.
Let all who can be present and
manifest your enthusiasm and
good will by making the meeting
a most profitable one. Get in
line for the opening of the school
and the beginning of school
work next Tuesday morning.
A reception will be given the
teachers Of the public school
in the hall of the school building,
Friday evening, September 18th.
1t is to be hoped that the citi-
zens Of Malta and especially
the parents will participate
largely in this function thus
showing their interest in edu.
catiunal matters by early max.
ing the acquaintance of the new
teachers and extending them a
warm welcome both to our social
circles and to our homes for the
coming year. The En- te r..
pris g will say more about the
nature of the reception next
week.

GOOD WORK
BEING DONE
ON THE BIG DlTCH-PROCRESS
VERY SATISFACTORY, BIDS
g.
ARE CALLED FOR

Progress on the Government
Canal has been satisfactory for
the past week. Contracts have
been let for the 5000 feet of dixie
at the headworks as we'll as for
the $500 feet OF dixie at Peoples
Creek. Bids have also been ac-
cepted for the mile at the head
of the main canal which has
hitherto not been let. There is
now left Only a stretch of 1900
feet through the rock cut at
the Dodson County bridge, and
some parties are even consider.
ing the question of placing bid
here. On any rock work under
the CO. operative construction
plan the government will fur.
nish all explosives and probably
certain tools, as drill steel. etc..
the cost of which will be denied
from the monthly estimates of
yardage of the Contractors.
Such good showing is being
made on the work that it has
been decided to open another
stretch of canal below Point of
Rocks, and elsewhere in this
paper will be found the date
when proposals willb accepted,
namely 4 p. m. September 10.
A number of prospective con-
tractors have been requesting
an additional stretch to be thus
opened and it is expected that
everyone in the valley who de-
slres work oa the canal in the
immediate future will avail
themselves of this opportunity.
At the present date Point of
Rocks itself is reserved from &C.
ceptance of bids as the Reclama.
tion Service have not fully per.
fected their plans through here.
The Section through the Point
of Rocks contains about $4,000
cubic yards probably nearly all
rock. The new plans contem-
plate a wooden aume around the
Point as it will probably be
cheaper first cost for construc.
tion. Even if it is decided ulti-
mately to make the rock cut it
could probably be done as well
in the winter as at any other
time.
Work will probably be com.
menced within the week for =
government spur track at the
damsite which will greatly ex-
pedite construction.
Bids were opened on August
90 for delivery of rock at the
Dodson damsite to be used as
crib filling. The lowest bid re.
ceivcd was "a. 45 per cord.

Young Mans Relatives Say He
Is Mentally Uns ound.

La Porte, Ind. June with the re-
turn Monday Of Sheriff Shutter from
Vernon. Texas, where he went to in
vestigate the alleged confession of a
New York man named julius G. Tru-
elson. Jr., who wrote to Prosecutor
Smith that he had been an accomplice
Of Mrs. Guinness in several of her muir
ders. the details of the sequel to the
confession were expected to become
known The sheriff did not bring
Truelson back for the reason that it
is alleged the confession does not hold
good having been made by the prison
er in order to escape a forgery charge
in Texas.
Truelson is % years old and claims
to be the son of wealthy manufac-
turer. Truelson has been in Jail there
since March 20, charged with repre-
senting himself to be Jonathan G.
Thaw. Of Pittsburg, a cousin of Har-
ry X. Thaw, and passing many forged
checks. According to the alleged con-
fession, Truelson took his wife. Mae
Frances O'Reilly. Of Rochester. N Y.
to the Guinness farm to have her put
out Of the way. and helped Ray Lam
phere bury her. and assisted in dis
posing CT six bodies at the Guinness
farm.

legged confession. Nevertheless Mae
O'Reilly is missing. The police tried
10 days ago to find her and reported
that she had disappeared.
Jewelry bearing the name of Mae
OReilly was found in the Guinness
ruins.

c. p. Nreeland Of East 93d street.
Canarsie. L. l., with whom he elopcd
in March last. to the Guinness farm.
All that prevented him. the "con-
fessfon' says. was a letter from Mrs
Guinness telling him that the sheriff
was making inquiries about the dis
appearance Of some of her victims
AMI that he should come alone.
In his confession" Truelson said
that early in 1904 he read Mrs. Gun
ness matrimonial advertisement In a
Danish paper published in Milwaukee
and by correspondence arranged to
met her in the Sheridan House. Chi
cago.
From there he accompanied her to
La Porte. staying over night and was
told that although he had no money
and was too young to marry she could
pnt him in the way Of making con-
siderable money by helping to dispose
OF bodies of persons who died under
her care. Truelson declared in the
noon session that Mrs Guinness told
him she was practicing as a midwife,
illegally. and that many Of her pa
tients died and 1t was part Of her con-
tract to dispose OF the bodies. She
said she had one man but it required
two tc do the work.
The sheriff reached La Porte today.
He said:
Il will continue investigation into
the alleged confession of Truelson,
