SENATOR CARTER INTRODUCED
BILL OF INTEREST TO SETTLERS
SENATE PASSED BILL RELATING TO SETTLERS ON IRRIGATION
PROJECTS, PROVIDING THAT ENTRYMEN MAY AS
SIGN THEIR CLAIMS AFTER FIVE YEARS

Last Friday the senate passed a
bill reported by Senator Carter from
the irrigation committee providing
! that entrymen for homesteads in rec
lamation projects shall receive patent
upon satisfactory proof of residence
improvement and cultivation for five
years, the same as though the entry
was made under the original home
stead act. The bill also provides
that persons who have complied with
the requirements of the homestead
laws on irrigation projects may assign
their rights to other persons, confin-
ing the privilege to honest cad entries
in reclamation projects and not the
otherlands Theoccasion for the pro-
posed legislation arises from the with
drawal by the government for recla-
nation purposes of large areas of land
upon which homestead filings have
been made.
Under the terms of the reclama-
ton act" said Senator Carter in the
committee report, the charges for
water rights are to be paid in 10 an
nual inst AILMENTS and patient cannot
be issued on homestead entries until
all charges have been paid. Even if
the water were available the original
homestead filing was made, title could
not be perfected for 1O'years in the
reclamation project or five years be-
yond the required period of residence
ON homestead. Many settlers on
reclamation ojocts have lived for
five years on their lands without the
delivery of water for irrigation. In
consequence or the arid character of
the land and the need of water to
irrigate, such settlers have suffered
Inconvenience and in some instances
have been reduced to positive distress.
Unable TO endure the waiting process

From a prominent republican state
official who was in Butte recently, it
was learned that the fight for the
position eff federal judge for Montana
had become more interesting through
the entry into the list of candidates
of Fletcher Maddox, chairman of the
republican state committee, and now
holding a position in the legal de-
partment of the government and
Charles N. Pray, representative in
congress from Montana, says the An
conda Standard.
1t is said that the big men in the
republican party are lined up between
Maddox and Pray. Former Judge
George M. Borquin, of Butte, has the
backing of the bar of his city, Chief
Justice Theodore Brantley, Of the
supreme court, has a strong backing
for the place. There are Others in
different parts of the state who have
their suppurters for the position in
case there should be vacancy.
Judge William H. Hunt, who has
held down the federal bench since
Judge Hiram Knowles resigned, has
been offered the position of judge of
the new court created by the present
congress and which is to pass on mat
ters arising out of custom differences.
This court meets in Washington.
When the law was passed and the
tender made to Judge Hunt it was
understood the position paid $40, 900
year. Even on salary like that
a judge would have to figure closely
to live in Washington like he could
in Montana.
Later. after Judge Hunt had de-
clined to accept the position, it was
discovered that the pay was only
seven thousand five hundred a year.
This was raise of one thousand five

longer, they have no alternative
under the law than to abandon their
filings and improvements after hay
ing complied with the homestead
act as to reside nee and improvements.
This act will permit persons thus
situated to assign their claims for
such consideration as they may be
able to obtain and the assignee will
thereupon be substituted and be-
come obligated to comply with the
reclamation act.

FIGHT FOR CONTROL
OF BUTTER BOARD

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. ia fight for the
control of the Elgin butter board,
whose weekly quotations have served
for more than a quarter of a century
as basis on which butter was bought
and sold in practically every part of
the United States, will come to g.
head Monday, when the board will
1old its annual election of officers and
committees. The fight is being waged
by Chicago members of the board who
have long contended that the naming
of the opening price of butter each
week has been done under farcial con-
ditions. Since the first of the year
the Chicago members have been fight
ing to bring about lower p ices. They
maintain that the butter boa-d d is ma
nipulated solely in the interes SITS of
clilue and they threaten to make
some startling revelations at the an
nual meeting If those in cort oil do
not agree to reform their methods of
procedure.
