SCHOOL CENSUS
Shows Big Increase gn
Population Of County,
1000 In Schools.

1t anybody asks you what is the
population of Dawson county, you
can answer, quick as flash, "Ten
thousand" and never wink an eve
when you say it.
Taking the school census Of the
past year as basis for computa-
ton, Dawson county easily has
that much population. And the
census also shows a splendid gain
over last year.
The number Of children Of school
age, namely, between 6 and q yrs.
os now 1881 as contrasted with
|, 48O of a year ago. That shows
an increase Of 3e2, which repre-
sents q gain in population during
the last year of at least 1000.
The total amount apportioned by
Miss Tena Hackney, county sup.
erintendent, is $43, ,020.86, ofwhich
amount $2l, 984.84 was raised by
special taxes in various districts
for building and other improve
ment purposes. The Dawson
County Free High School does not,
of course, figure in this apportion-
ment at all.
There are three districts that do
not participate in this distribution.
Their names and reasons for their
non-p participation are as follows;
No. 81, near wolf Point, has moi
had school the required full month
No. IS, near Culbertson, same
reason; No. 36, Lindsay, was re-
Gently formed from two other dis
tricts and the county superinten-
dent had not been given its census.

Gov, DITCH
COMPILE I Ed
Contract of Freeman
Bros. was completed
Last Saturday.
BUILT IL MILES OF DsTCH.

According to an article pub
olishei in the Daily Journal Press
vt their former home in st. Cloud,
Minn., the Freeman Bros. who
we're also residents of Wibaux at
me time, expected to have ccm-
)leted their big government con-
ract on the irrigation project near

following information concerning

local company took the heavy end
IF the job. Work was begun III
May, 1906, and after nearly three

lays and the waters from the Vel
lowstone river will irrigate nearly
ID, ,OOO acres Of land. This prop
erty will Immediately be turned

an acre.
Settlers are expected from all
over the country and the indica-
tions are that all the property will
be taken within O short time. The
government ditch which irrigates
SO much property and which Will
mean hundreds OF thousands OF

CASE OF GRAND LARCENY

Chas. Gore, who resides on the
,ead Of Little Beaver, about thirty
niles south Of Wibaux was taken
nto custody on Tuesday, last, by
Sheriff Wells, the Custer county
'heritf, on charge Of grand larceny,
md is being held at Miles City
awaiting bail. He will probably
,e bound over until the regular
orm Of district court convenee in
Juster County next March.
1t appears that q suspicion was
aroused in the midst Of the officials
lere Of Cores guilt for rustling
attic in the vicinity in which he
esides, and on Saturday Of last
week strong evidence to that effect
vas brought to light when Deputy
Sheriff J. D. Wynn and Under
heritf Reed Of Miles City drove
NO the country south, from Wi
oauX, to investigate the condition
# affairs. Immediately upon their
arrival at Cores home they were
uccessful in locating the carcasse5
i two beeves, which evidently had
not been butchered long. They
ilso found the hides. both Of which
lad certain par.s cut away from
nem, which would 60 to show that
he action had been taken to de-
troy the brand. Through further
Investigation the officers secured
proof that Gore had recently sold
wo beeves to parties in the vicin-
ty where he resides.
Several years ago cattle rustlers
we're quite numerous in the range
countries until the law came in
contact with the offenders, and put
u stop to their work. However, Of
late, there seems to be a few who
still believe they can perform the
stunt" without being prosecuted,
but in Cores case the officers III
pursuit seem to have sufficient evi-
dence against him to warrant his
conviction. which, in all probabil-
ity will mean sentence in jail,
and should this be the outcome Of
the case it will Tend to serve as q
gentle warning to others of that
type.

DOINCS At
WASHINGTON
Concerning Bills recent
ly introduced In inter
est of Montana.
MANY BILLS PASS SENATE

The bill to create an additiona
land district in the State Of Mon.
tana, to be known as the "Harlow
town Land District and desig
mating Harlowtown as ths site fo1
the land Office, has passed the Sen
ate and is now pending before the
''ommittee on Public Lands Of the
House Of Representatives.
The bill providing for the open
ing Of Fort Keogh Military Res
crvation to settlement and for Other
purposes, introduced in the Senate
by Senator Garter, during the first
session Of the present Congress, ano'
which passed that body last spring.
is still rendirg the action Of the
Committee on Public Lands in the
House. Owing to the sentiment
in favor Of establishing a Remount
Station on the abandoned Military
Reservation the bill will be amend
Cd in the House Committee pro
yiding that the Reservation be
turned over t. the Government for
that purpose. Provision will be
made, however, for a grant Of 16O
acres TO the Custer County Fai
Association and a second grant Of
equal area to Miles City.
The 800 acre homestead law, SO
called, is still pending in confer
ence and it is doubtful if the meas
ure will be passed by the present
Congress, although supporters Of
the bill hope that an agreement
may be reached by the conferees
before the close Of the Congress.
The bill introduced by Senator
Dixon providing for permanent
bison range of II, 500 acres to be
set apart on the F4athead Indian
Reservation for the herd Of buffalo
to be presented to the United States
Government by the American Bi-
son Society has already passed the
Senate and will probably become a
law during the present session Of
Congress. The bill provides that
the cost of the land, $50, 900 shall
be paid to the Indians, and fur
thel provision of $4,000 is made
for the necessary fence and suit
able sheds and buildings.
Among other bills Of interest to
Montanans and directly affecting

ate and are now pending action in

New York. June 1.-THE spot light
of the cross examiner continued to os-
cilate today in the trial of Mrs. How
ard Gould's suit for separation from the
estate at Castle Gould to the st. Regis
MOTEL to the farm at Rlue Gap, Va, to
the Niagara and back to New York
again, but except for those moments
when it fingered on Dustin Farnum, it
never got very far from the buffers
keys 70 the wine cellar.
There was visible an attitude on the
part Of the defence, which in this trial
Of many surprises has curiously shifted
over to what is virtually the plosecu- :
ton, to prove that Mrs. Gould was not
only 50 frequently under the Influence
OF intoxicantS as to fall within the
rules of Justice Bowling that she must
be proved an habitual drunkard before
her husband can be justified for leav-
ing ncr, but to prove that when she
did drink her character underwent a
Transformation for the worse.
Delaney Nicoll, formerly district
attorney Tor the county of New York

willing enough to adduce testimony

phass on the overbearing manner Of

to Sooth and conciliate her.
in the effort to dscredit this witness,
Mr.. Shcan forced the ugly word.
"hlackmair' from Mr.. Nicoll and be-
came so much agitated at its applica-
ton 10 His own conduct of the case
that for some moments he was unable
to continue his cross examination. The
court ruled the use of the word Of
ftnSive and Mr.. Nicoll apologized for
Introducing it, but did not retract it,
On the contrary. he reiterated that he
could prove it, Justice Bowling wished
the incident closed and it was SO con-
sidercd before he had an opportunity
to make good his assertion.
The crowds of witnesses at the doors
continued to swell and as Mr. Shearn
has announced that he will call SO or
more witnesses to rebut the testimony
of the defence it is probable that the
case will last another week or 10 days.
To shorten it as much as possible,
Justice bowling is holding court until
O'Clock daily instead of until 4, the
