CAREY SNOW ON A NOTE.

Maurice Maloney was sentenced to
60 days in the county Jail yesterday
by Justice Mendenhall after he had
pleaded guilty to attempting to OBJ
tain money under false pretenses. 1t
is said that q charge Of forgery could
have been preferred against the young
man, but owing to the prisoners youth
and other circumstances the charge
Of forgery was not pushed.
1t was alleged that Maloney, who
is but 90 years of age and recently ar
rived in Billings, forged the name Of
Carey Snow. a rancher Of this sec
ton, to a note for SO and Wednesday

Testimony in the first OF the railroad
rate cases that OF the Northern Pa,
cifc began before Judge Charles e.

OPENING OF SANDERS
COOPERATIVE DITCH JUNE Is.

First Irrigation Project to BE Com
pleted BY Private Parties on Coded
Portion Of Observation-Disclosures 49,
600 Acres Of Land.

City Engineer Henry Gerharz has
just returned from a trip Of inspection
over the Sanders cooperative canal
for which he is chief engineer. He
reports the earth work all completed
and that all the structures will be com
pleted within 10 days. This canal
when the full plans are carried out,
which will probably be this fall, will
be 80 miles in length and will irrigate
more than $4,000 acres. 1t is the first
canal to be completed on the coded
strip Of the reservation by private
parties.
The construction OF the. canal has
been carried through very successful
.ly and the people interested are con-
.sequently elated. That the structures
are Of a very substantial nature was
shown last week when the water rose
1--WE feet in one night without doing
any damage to them, and the struc-
lures are not quite completed.
Farming on Large Scale.
All spring farming has been going
on on a gigantic scale, one firm keep
ing a large steam plow steadily occu-
pied. All the homesteaders have also
been very busy getting their lands in
shape, and the consensus Of opinion
seems to be that the tract under this
canal is to be a veritable garden spot
this summer. They certainly have the
facilities as this tract of land contains
some Of the choicest land in the Vel
lowstone valley.
The formal opening OF the canal will
probably take place about June is, and
it has been suggested that a gala day
be made Of the occasion. This idea Is
meeting with approval and it is quite
probable that such will be the case.

Many Freiaht Cars Here.

IW M2&NH1MS EX1
There are about 1000 freight cars
in the Billings yards waiting to be
moved west, half Of which are emp
ties billed to Oregon and Washington
for the transportation Of lumber. All
the cars will make up at least 20
trains and 1t is the intention Of the
roads to get as many out today as is
possible. H
"A drawback to their immediate re-
moval is the presence OF 10 freight
trains at Big Timber which must be
sent east through Billings today and
tonight. Both passenger and freight
trains are being run to Helena and
switched to the Great Northern tracks
connecting again with the Northern
Pacific at Spokane: It is believed by
local officials thatSadirect communica-
ton over the Northern Pacific to spo-
kane will be had today SO that the OPP
GRAFTON of It's trains and those Of the
Burlington will be discontinued over
the Great Northern from Helena.

is said that much Of the freight OF

opening of traffic past Garrison near

Cured.
"A washout Of minor Importance oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon about Is
miles east Of Forsyth, delaying No. 1
little more than half an hour. Had It
not been for the arrival Of a train
loaded with rock at the time trains
would have been considerably de
slayed.
Business on Increase.
a prominent official Of the local
freight Offices said yesterday that bust
ness during the 10 days prior to the
recent washouts had increased won
derfully. He stated that more and
larger freight shipments were being
received and expressed the opinion
that it will be all that the freight de-
partments Of the Northern Pacific and
Burlington roads can do to clear UP
the business now on hand.
