of the Great Northern railroad. talked
10 the president today about the serious
delay in carrying out the Milk river and
st. Mary's irrigation projects in that
state.

the extensive amount OF lands included

there, TO the detrlment of the United

complete the Milk river project and they
would again have water for their land,
