Charles d. Howell, formerly post
master at Havre, Mont, who is
charged with holding up the clerks in
the Great Northern express Office and
securing $4,000 short time ago, has
been identified as the bandit who i'm
personated a United States postal in
spector to get into a Great Northern
mail car at Bonners Ferry, Idaho,
March Is, 1908, and after subduing
the clerks in the car, rifled the regis
tered mail. The crime stands out as
one of the most cleverly planned rob-
berries in the northwest. Disguised
as an inspector, the bandit boarded
the Oriental Limited train just as it
pulled out of Bonners Ferry, and
holding the two mail clerks at bay at
the point of revolver, locked one of
them in the clothes closet and tied
the other to a chair with rope, after
which he rode a distance of 100 miles
into Spokane, spending almost four
hours in rifling registered mail and
loading and unloading mail sacks
along the route. The bandit puffed
complacently on cigar while at
work.

Residents of he Milk river valley
who have received reclamation scrip
in payment for work performed on the
Dodson unit of the government irri-
CATION project, will probably have to
wait for the money guaranteed by GER
tifcates. Scrip of that character, to
the amount of thousands of dollars,
was accepted by local cont, actors for
services rendered, the reclamation
officials believing the law permitted
them to draw upon the reclamation
fund in that way. The scrip was to
be used by settlers in part payment
for their dues to the government when
water was supplied to their land.
But according to a recent Washing
ton dispat tch, the issuance of this re-
clamation scrip was illegal and until
validated by special act of congress
the paper is practically worthless.
The news conveyed in the dispatch is
to this effect:
No government officer has a right
to permit reduction of water right
charges in reclamation project as an
Offset against amounts due by the
government for labor or material fur
nished and which were evidenced by
certificates issued while the so-called
