before the war and of the hotels here at
that time He told. too. of the various
Presidents-elect who had stayed at the

years. third of a century, and was in

DR.. Shipper told of the old All Souls
Church, which stood at the corner Of 9Th

how the fashionable part of the city had

of a new church edifice here in Wash

Montana Farmers Institutes

Prof. Thos. Shaw Of Minnesota has
been engaged for the entire institute
season Of 19O9-10 by F. S. Cooley,
Sup t OF Montana Farmers Institutes.
Prof. Shaw is one Of the strongest
and best known agricultural lecturers
in America at the present time. His
career may be briefly summed up as
follows: For twenty-five years he
earned his livelihood on the farm. He
was called from the farm to the Pro-
fessorship Of Agriculture in Guelph,
Ontario, in 1888 IN 1898 he began a
twelve year term as Professor Of Hus-
bandry at the Minnesota University.
He exerted a wonderful influence in

his time to important Investigations.
He has been editor Of st. Paul Far
mer, Orange Judd Farmer and is at
present associate editor Of Dakota Far
mer.
Pref. shaw,s books are many and
valuable. Among them are: Weeds
and How to Eradicate Them, The
Study Of the Breeds, Animal Breed
ing, Feeding Farm Animals, Manage
ment and Feeding of Cattle, Forage
Crops other Than Grass, soiling Crops
and the silo, Clovers and How to Grow
Them, Grasses and How to Grow
Them, Sheep Husbandry in Minnesota.
AS lecturer upon agricultural sub
jects Prof. Shaw has few equals for
breadth of scientific training, long
and extended observation, and force
ful and interesting manner of present
ing his subject.
James.J. Hill and the heads Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads have recognized Prof. Shaw
as their agricultural expert and in that
capacity he has had an unusual oppor-
tunity for studying Montana condi-
tions.
Montana is indeed to be eongratu-
lated IN securing 50 distinguished
man to instruct her farmers the com

and will result in the reclamation
of several hundred thousand acres
of land in the valley.
It is stated that the government
prepared plans for this project
eight years ago. and that only one
dam and several miles Of bitches
have beei. constructed at great cost.
Attention is called to the fact that
private irrigation works have been
constructed at a cost of approxi-
mately SIS per acre, and that about
the same length of ditch has been
constructed, and this private work
| has resulted in the irrigation of
about $4,000 acres Of land at COM
paratively small cost.
Statements have been made by
several government officials here
that there are several unadiusted
water rights along the river, which
has delayed work on the Milk river
project. In reply to this, the COM
mittee's statement is that the pri-
vate owners of water rights are
willing to assign their rights as soon
as the government gives some indi-
cation that the project is to be com
pleted. It is stated that the sugges-
tion of the reclamation service of a
suit to adjust the private water
rights on the Milk river and about
1000 of its larger tributaries was
started two years ago. Now the
! reclamation service is. insisting up
fon including large number ct
other streams which rise in the
mountains and lose themselves in
the desert before they reach the
Milk river or any other river.
On these small mountain streams
there are irrigation bitches, and the
committee takes the ground that
| the government has no right, and
there is no reason why the people
who have these rights, should be
put out of business merely because
some persons in the reclamation
service sees a vision Of possible use
Of these mountain streams, when
there is absolutely no connection
| between the two propositions.
Louis w. Hill. speaking for the
committee today. said:
I find that everybody with whom
we have talked is interested in the
questions we presented, and believe
that definite action will be taken
which will relieve the onerous bur-
den which now prevents the devel
opment Of Montana.

WILL HELP
Congressman Promises Railroad Officials Assist
ance in Securing Needed Survey.
N. F>.

/ Washington, Jan. .27.-Assurances
OF help in securing a survey of the
large body Of land in northeastern
Montana, now unavailable for set
tlement because Of the lack of sur
vey, have been given Louis w.
Hill and his associates on the Mon
tana committee, by Representative
TaWney, chairman of the house com
mittee on appropriations. A letter
from Mr.. TaWney to Mr.. Hill is in
cluded in a statement which the
committee submitted today to Sec
retary Ballinger.
Mr.. TaWney says that if President
Taft should send a special message
to congress on the need for making
these surveys, or the secretary of
the interior should present the mat
! ter to the committee OF appropria-
ton when the sundry civil appro-
priation bill is being prepared, the
matter Of providing funds especial
| ly for this purpose will be given
careful consideration.
The statement submitted to the
secretary today calls attention to
the two things the residents of Mon
tana want done in order that the
state may be properly developed
and made available for settlement.
First is the immediate survey of the
great body Of lands in the north
eastern part of the state. It is stat
| ed that there are approximately
| 16, 900, 900 acres Of this unsurveyed
land, Of which about 100000. 900
faeres can be cultivated without irri-
cation,
The statement says that, accord
ling to Land Commissioners bennett,
the survey will cost about Z cents an
acre. This would mean an aggre-
!.
gate expenditure Of $700, 600, but as
against that the NJ ntana men call
attention to the fact that more than
| S2,500.000 has been expended in
Canada, in the neighborhood of
Calgary, in short time in the i'm
mediate pastsby people enaigrating
from the middle west states on this
side Of the line, and who, they as
Isert, would have been wiling to
/ take up land in Montana, had they
been available.
Secretary Ballinger's attention is
then called to the situation in the
! Milk river valley, and the necessary
steps to complete the st. Mary's
Milk river reclamation project.
This involves the diversion of the
st. Mary's river in the Milk river,
