ORGANIZATION PERFECTED
Officers Appointed Cor Active
Control of Lower Yellowstone
irrigation Work.

1t is very probable that the far
mers who are to receive water undel
the Lower Yellowstone IRRIGATION
Project will be interested to know Of
the efforts which have been made bz
the Government to successfully irri-
gate as much land as possible during
the present season, and of the organi-
cation now perfected to handle the
water and to help the farmers to a cor
rect understanding Of irrigation
methods.
The majority Of the men employed
In experimenting capacity are from
irrigated lands ii Colorado, and have
had years of experience on canal opera
ton and maintenance. They are en-
thusiastic over the fine soil found in
this locality, and say that it lies as
we'll for irrigation as any they have
seen in any country. They prophesy
that the Lower Yellowstone Project
lands, with proper irrigation and cult
walton, will rapidly increase in value,
and many of them have written home
to friends and relatives telling them
of the lands to be had and endeavoring
to persuade them to come to this coun-
try.
Mr., Robert S, Stockton, who is we'll
and favorabiy known as the Irrigation
Manager Of the Huntley Irrigation
Project, near Billings, Montana, has
been placed in charge of the Lower
Yellowstone operation work.
The project has been divided into
three districts, each is charge of a |
practical District and Canal Superin-
te ndent, assisted by the necessary
Canal Riders and laborers.
District covers the territory be-
tween HeadWorks and Lateral mn. !
just below Sears, and is in charge of
Mr.. Chas. W. Tharp, who is headquar-
5ered at La Mesa. Mr.. Tharp was for
nerly connected with the Water Sup
ply & Storage Company, of Fort Col
ms, Colorado, for which Company he
las acted in various capacities for the
asst eight years. He is thoroughly
:amiliar with irrigation works and
and is now at work on some
Eight betterments necessary on the
main canal and laterals in his dis
riot.
Messrs. Abe Hammond, R. T. Hur-
lie and Benjamin Fessenden have at
his time been assigned to aid Mr..
harp in the operation work, the for

There has been constructed. undel

mere mas been constructed. under
his supervision, several Jewelers. and
dltehlng machines, which are on ex-
hlbition at different points in the low
er Valley, and the use of implements
OF like nature will soon demonstrate
their value to the water users. Mr..
HaWley has signed contract to return
to the Williston Water Users, Associa-
ton on April 1st, but Mr.. Frank
Relnks, from the Greeley district, has
been secured to carry on the work
SO well commenced.
The Reclamation Service officials
are willing and anxious to do anything
within their power to establish ami
cable relations with all residents of the
Valley, since harmony is essential,
and it is believed The residents will
appreciate this fact and join hands
for mutual benefit in successful irri-
cation, with it's natural outcome of
bountiful crops.

He then rose and suggested that
they had best bid goodnight roth 10
NJ. Voski and NJ. Moult, and. as the
others had business OF an urgent ma
ture to transact. and did not wish to
be detained, they raised no protest.
After the prince had gone, M. Voski
sent for Neildorf, who was a dapper
little man, with well-waxed mustache
and well-burnished boots.
In very few words M. Voski ex-
planned TO him what the nights task
would be, and Neildof smiled and
smirked and nodded his head In keen
appreciation OF the adventure.
The three men then set out on foot
and as the .Vieux Doelen Is only q
stones throw from the France, they
came TO that small hotel within few
minutes time.
The porter there knew we'll enough
who they were, and admitted them
with a flourish He would have -four
ished still more had not the chief OF
the Hague police ordered him to be
still.
He then inquired for the English
woman, and the porter said that she
had gone half an hour since TO her
room.
voski instantly instructed the por-
ter to go up TO her and say that q
gentleman from Mr.. Strong desired u
see her below.
The porter came back directly, say
ing that the lady would be down at
once, and the three men sat In uneasy
silence in the hall until Miss Hunt
appeared.
She came down the stairs looking a
rather pathetic little figure. She was
obviously very tired. and the troubles
OF Der mission were beginning TO tell
on her. Moreover. the shabby clothes
she had adopted tho better to play
her part OF an impecunious governess

manner.

pleasantly in English. II have news

news will not be good hearing. am

you TO go at once to the assistance OF

And you say" said Miss Hunt,
slowly searching Voski's face with her
honest eyes, that you come from Mr..

his hand to his heart and made little
bow.

Once upon a time there was a lit
tie girl who was discontinued.
One summer afternoon, as she lay
swinging In her hammock. she heard
the bobolinks In the field calling. She
wished she was one of them.
AS she lay there thinking, she
glanced toward the foot OF the ham
mock. There she saw bright fairy,
who said, Child. you shall have your
wish"
The fairy waved her magic wand.
Soon the little girls eyelids closed
and she felt herself flying away with
the birds.
The bobolinks sang gayly and told
her In their bird language how they
built their nests and hid them away
In tho grass so the boys couldn't find
and rob them. They told her how
they fed their babies. And how.
