PAYSLARGE DIVIDEND
Penwell Company Stock Is Owned
Chiefly in Capitol City Of
Montana.

Stockholders in the Penwell Ranch
company were made happy today over
the receipt of seventy-two cent cash
dividend, which comes at the first
settlement under the liquidation plan
determined upon and which was made
necessary by the demand of new set
tiers for land. This is exclusive
OF the twelve per cent divi-
dend that was paid last fall. In
addition, stockholders will receive in
terest upon the seventy per cent
deferred holdings at the rate of six
per cent. Thus it will be seen that
the company will upon final iuuida-

sixty per cent, or one hundred and
sixty dollars for each one hundred

tion of this within the initial year of
organization. Those Of the stock

FROZEN BODY FOUND
On Prairie Near Judith Gap Carl
G. Walker Of That Town Dies
in Blizzard.

Judith Gap, January 3.---The frozen
body of Gerald Walker was found to-
day four miles southwest of this city.
Walker left the city Saturday after
noon for a ranch eight miles south,
and although his friends endeavored
to get him to remain until next day,
because eff the rapidly developing bliz-
zard, he persisted on leaving, as his
wife was on the ranch alone. Word
was received in the city today that he
had not reached the ranch. A search
ing party was at once formed. The
body was found nearly quarter of a
mile from the conveyance in which he
left, and all signs showed that the
horse which he drove had broken away
before Mr.. Walker left the rig. Mr..
Walker was one of the leading citizens
of this city and was in the city Satur-
day to attend to some improvements
on his string of cottages. He was
about 40 years old. He leaves wife,
to whom he was married last spring.
He came here from Parker, S. D..

HEDGES TO CHANGE NAME
Penwell Suggested For Name Which
Certainly Would be a
Good One.

The citizens of Hedges have sug-
gusted Penwell as a name for that
town since the railroad company and
the 'postotfice department cannot
agree on one. The railroad wants
to keep the present name and the
postotfice department wants to keep
the old name of Yale. The new name
suggested is to prepetuate the name
of Louis Penwel of Helena, one OF
the best known men in the state,
and one who is doing great deal OF
good in this section of the country
by bringing in the actual settler from
the east. Mr.. Penwell is certainly
worthy of this honor, and we sincerly
hope that the railroad and the gov.
ernment will adopt the name of this
worthy citizen.

tween the hip and the knee and the

could get up he was beneath the
wheels of the engine.

IRRIGATION
PROJECT
To lrrisate Thirty thousand Acres
of Bench Land Northwest
oi HarloWton.

The company known as the Judith
Basin Land Company of Twodot,
which consists of Minneapolis capital,
will begin work on one of the largest
irrigation projects in the state. 1t is
planned through this scheme to ulti-
mately irrigate some 10000 acres of
bench land which lies northwest of
Harlowton, near the Belt mountains.
Attorney John Marshall of the Twin
cities spent last summer here looking
over this project, with Mr.. L. M.
Hatch, a Billings engineer, and he
states there is no doubt as to whether
the proposition will go through or
not.
BIG UNDERTAKING.
The irrigation scheme is one of the
most complicated from an engineering
standpoint that has been attempted
in Montana. The land lies north of
the town of Twodot on the Milwaukee
line, and northwest of Harlowton.
The plan OF conserving the flood
waters of the Musselshell and turning
them over the dry lands has been con-
sidered for some time, but it was not
until last fall that eastern men who
have the financial backing to put the
project through, investigated its good
points and decided to have the pre-
liminary surveys made, calling on the
Billings firm for the work. If Mr..
Hatchs reports are approved the
syndicate will form a stock company
and begin construction, which will
occupy the greater part of next sum-
mer.
The plans for irrigation call for the
construction of four large stone dams
breasts, varying in height from. $50 to
25O feet, which will dam the waters Of
the Musselshell for a considerable
distance and create the first large
reservoir for the storage of irrigation
water in eastern Montana. The val
ley of the Musseshell, unlike that of
the Yellowstone, cannot lay claim to
an unlimited water supply, for the
stream does not have as large water
shed as the Yellowstone. But it is
claimed that by the construction of
the breasts an ample volume of water
for irrigation can be obtained and
that the cost of the work per acre of
irrigable land will not be greatly in
excess of the cost of irrigation work
along the Yellowstone.
The building of the system will
mean the settlement and cultivation
of a large area of very rich land which
is now but sparingly settled by dry
land farmers, and this would mean
much to Harlowton. 1t would bring
hundreds of settlers on these bench
lands who would make HarloWton
their headquarters.
