MORE LAND FOR SETTLEMENT.
Nearly Half Million Acres Withdrawn
From National Forests.

Washington, July 1.-The president
has signed several proclamations elm
mating nearly half million acres of
lands from the national forests and
adding little more than 100000 acres
to the reserves. The lands taken out
are more suitable to agriculture than
to forest purposes and later will be
opened to settlement. The additions
represent tracts best adapted to the
growing of trees.
The Beaver Head national forest in
Montana and Idaho has been deprived
OF 1O6,S75 acres.~ About 98,563 acres
OF these eliminations are located in
Montana and 1912 acres in Idaho.

BLAME RESERVOIR PEOPLE.
Beaverhead Farmers Deprived Of
Water to Begin Suit.

Neutrality-suspicious. are being made
to start the largest water suit ever
begun in Beaverhead county. The suit
is due to the exceptional shortage Of
water in this valley at the present
time, many of those not owning old
water rights having their irrigation
supply entirely cut off.
The suit will include everyone on the
Beaverhead and Bedrock rivers from
the Point OF Rocks, 10 miles below Dill
lon, to the head of the Bedrock river
in the Centennial valley, a distance of
nearly 10 miles. It is estimated that
the suit will cost $4,000.
A considerable number of ranchers
were prone to blame the Bedrock IT.
rigation and Reservoir company, which
built at Lima dam, for the present
shortage of water and accuse the COM
pany OF not permitting the natural flow
OF the Redrock river over the-spillway
OF the dam. Newell G. knight, repre-
sent1ng the company, and George R.
Featherly, president of the Farmers
association and representing the farm
ers. addressed letter to John w.
Wade, state engineer at Helena, re-
questing that he personally inspect the
intake and outlet of the Lima reservoir
and authorized him to take charge of
all measurement of water passing into
and out of the reservoir to settle in
the minds of the ranchers whether or
not they are getting the water they
should get. The reservoir company
volunteers to pay the expenses of two
men sent there by the state engineer
to look after the water the remainder
of the season.

MARSHALL AND ENGERUD ARE
DEFEATED FOR SENATE IN
g. o. p. PRIMARIES,
INSURGENTS GET AN EVEN SPLIT
Hanna, stalwart, and HeIgeson, Insur-
gent, for Congress.-Johnson,
StaIwart Candidate, Defeats
Buchanan for Governor,

Bismarck, July Returns of the
primary election are slow coming in
but enough has been heard to as
sure the nomination of McCumber
stalwart, for the long term senator,
by majority of at least 1000 and
Gronna, insurgent, for the short term
by an even larger vote.
Hanna will lead all candidates in
the number of votes received and will
be returned to congress, while the
fight for the other congressional seat
is between Blaisdell and Haelgeson,
with indications that the choice of
the people will not be known until
the last precinct is in.
For governor there is no longer any
question as to the nomination of c. A.
Johnson, stalwart candidate for gov.
ernor. Bvrdick, insurgent candidate,
will be nominated for lieutenant gov.
ernor by a large majority, while the
stalwart's candidate for treasurer
Gunder Olson, will win over the pres.
ent incumbent, Bickford, insurgent.
Taylor will win over insurgent can.
NANNISS NOOuo, AOI oIcCc 0upcIluICuU'
ent of schools, and Attorney General
Miller, insurgent, will win over Adam.
son, the stalwart candidate.
For railroad commissioners, Mann
and Anderson, stalwart and insurgent,
respectively, will be renominated, and
Purcell, stalwart, will win over Suits
man, insurgent.
The race for secretary of state be-
tween Norton, insurgent, and Henry
stalwart, has been close, but at the
present time it looks as though Henry
will win out.
There have been very meagre re.
ports as to the race for supreme court
and it is impossible to make even a
guess as to who the successful candi.
dates will be. There are six to be
nominated and three to be chosen at
the fall elections.
