situated little west of the center of
the state, about Is miles from Great
Falls. The system when completed
will provide for the reclamation Of
about ZIG, 900 acres of fine farming
land. Throughout: the whole project
the farm village idea will be carried
out, towns being established at inter-
vals of about six miles. Water is now
available for about 10000 acres on the
Fort Shaw unit and the land is being
taken up rapidly.
on this tract the Fort Shaw and
Simms townsites have been laid out,
with wide streets. boulevards and
parks and extensive areas for public
buildings. The lots will be sold at auc-.
ton for cash, and there are lots enough

ing secured title to his farm can live

that the lamp was on a shelf above the

some way, probably causing an ex

the furniture in the room.
