GREAT PROJECT
Engineer French, Formerly
Located Herr, ID Charge.
Of $7,0OO,OOO irrigation.
Project in New Mexico
Sends Greeiings TO Old
Friends

Senator e. S. Neal of Mclean coun-;
ty, is in the city having just returned.
from inspecting his copper mining
industries in New Mexico. He re-
ports progress being nicely made and
a higher grade of ore being uncover
Ell right along. In the course of time
his company will erect "a smelter at
the mines and then they will be
s.ble to. save .haulage on waste mater
ial to the smelter twelve miles away.
While down in that country Mr..
Neal met his old friend James French
v ho, with his charming wife, will be
remembered as being stationed here
at the time there was prospect of
an irrigation plant being established
at Bismarck, and to who the Trenches
desired to be remembered. Mr..
French is the government engineer
in charge Of the Elephant irrigation
project, one of the largest the. gov
ernment has undertaken and for
which there is an appropriation OF
81 ,000, 900. The dam for this pro-
ject will be. 175 feet high and the wa
tiers will be backed up 42 miles, maxi
ing an immense reservoir which is
expected to water 250,00O acres OF
land now raising nothing, but which
with this water will raise anything
that grows. The fact that Mr.. French
I is in charge speaks highly for his
ability as an engineer and for the
appreciation of his talents by the gov
ernment 5.
It seems hard luck that we OF
Bismarck could not. have had the adj
vantage of his work on an irrigation
project here which would have put
a hundred families on the lands sur.
rounding this city. an

Arguments Heard in Supreme
Court in Ward County
Division Case

The supreme court yesterday heard
the Montraille county case from
Ward county, involving the validity
of the organization Of the new coun-
ty by the vote of the people at the
last election. Attorney Greene, who
appears in opposition to the organ
ization of the new county argued
before the court yesterday that it
was plainly established that where
the law required majority of all
the votes cast to make this PROPOSE
tion effe ctiye, it meant a majority OF
the greatest number of legal votes cast
not a majority of the votes upon
the particular proposition. He de-
Tended his position with numerous
citations and references.
!, Attorney George A. Bangs Of Grand
forks, appeared in support Of the va
lidity of the vote by. which the coun.
ty was organized and addressed the
court at, considerable length. This
decision in the matter was reserved
