The Morrison Water Motor.

The water motor device invented by
j. Il. Morrison, of Landusky, appears
to be attr acting the attention OF the
public at Pasco. Wash. Mr.. Morri-
son began the construction OF one OF
his motors in this city last fall, but
as it was not finished at the time the
winter storms commenced, he decided
to continue his experiments at Pasco,
where the conditions are more fav'
orable. A news item from that place
gives this description of the appara-
tus:
The Morrison water motor for irri-
eating purposes that is now under
construction at the ferry will be ready
for launching by the first OF next week.
| The motor is the %invention OF j. Il.
| Morrison and consists OF an auger ~
feet long and about five feet in diane
ter.
This auger is made to work inside
OF a scow built for the purpose. The
scow is built like a long box with
compartments Oh each side, which are
arranged so that the scow can be scut-
tied and sunk. This has to be done
so tn at the auger, which runs through
the entire length of the box.like scow
can come in contact with the current.
AT one end of the scow are tlanges or
wings to increase the intake Of water.
At the other end and connected with
the shaft of the auger is a gearing To

the United Milk River Irrigation as
ISOLATION held al Chinook, q delega.
ton will be sent to Washington to
urge upon the federal authorities the
necessity for commencing work on the
lower portion of the Milk river pro.
ject. Similar efforts have been made
| on former occasions, without securing
| the action desired, but the members of
the association propose to continue
the campaign until the justice of their
appeal is recognized and the work OF

tary of the interior and urge that the
work on the Milk river project would
be continued, and thirdly. to inter-
view members and urge upon congress
tn at it pass an appropriation for the
purpose of buying the waters used by
the Indians on the reserv alton, and
return the said waters to the white
!, settlers, the original appropriations.
After a full discussion of this sub
iect by several speakers, Messrs
Mckay and O'Keete and others, the
, motion was carried and it was decided
. that the committee to be named should
consist of one from each %communit!
interested.
At the evening session Malta, bod
. son and Hiusda ale named B. D
Phillips and H. H. Nelson. The othe

Refunds illegal Taxes.

RED LODGE, Feb. 15.-County
Treasurer w. G.. Rae is now busily
engaged in refunding about $4,000 in
taxes, which was illegally collected
from the taxpayers OF Carbon county.
Through an oversight, the county COL
lected the special stock tax, although
this "a repealed by the last legisla-
ture. After Treasurer Rae had made
his returns to the state treasurer he
discovered the mistake and took the
matter up with the state board of ex'
aminers. After about two weeks de.
lay, the board decided the state
treasurer could refund the amount to
Carbon county. There are about L.
800 taxpayers affected, and they will
receive from 81 to 5000 apiece as the re
suit of the treasurer's discovery OF
the error.

ing constructed in a way to work
pumps. Morrison has used 1900 feet
of lumber in the construction of the
scow, spent $500 for shafting and
something like $500 for carpenter work.
When completed it will cost in the
neighborhood of 81, 900.
This large expense is owing to its
being the first one constructed. Nor.
rision is of the opinion. however, that
duplicates can be put up for something
like $500 when everything is under.
stood and material bought in guam
