BIG BOOM in
IRRIGATION
WAco-cusTER CANAL UNDER
WAY.
From Sundays Daily

From Sundays Daily
The Waco-Custer canal is a new
irrigation enterprise which is being
built by eastern capital. Irrigation, is
booming in all sections of eastern
Montana and the number Of canals
now under way and projected will
utilize a large amount of the available
water from the great rivers and
streams Of this section of Montana.
The new ditch will traverse about
sixteen miles of fertile land and will
irrigate 5000 acres and will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Henry Gerharz Of this city has a
force Of surveyors in the field laying
out the line of the ditch and the work
Of excavating will be commenced as
soon as practicable and probably at
once, as the promoters of the ditch
expect to have water available for
next summers crop.
G. r.. Sanderson has the contract in
charge and will put a force of men at
work as soc as possible and the
work will be pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. The headgate, waste gate.
fumes, ETC., will be built of Oregon
pine and fir and the work will be of a
very substantial nature.
The canal will take water from the
Yellowstone river and will be Of i'm
measurable benefit to the farming
land of that section, which has ad-
vanced in price on account Of the
ditch.

Big Scenic Production Of Quincy

The big scenic production of Quincy
Adams Sawyer" in play form will be
seen here Octo Der 10, at the Opera
House. This engagement will attrac;
more than ordinary interest because
the famous novel of the same name,
from which the play is taken became
recognized at once when it came out
oyer five years ago as 'the best New
England story ever written" and has
continued to be known eyer since as
one of the best selling books in the
country Like father, like son, they
say. And so, like book, like dramati-
zation, you can say in some cases.
Critics are now saying of Quincy
Adams Sawyer" in play form that it is
"The best New England play ever
written"
