Hundreds Sold Their Votes.

WEST UNION, o., Dec. 2S.-The
Adams county grand jury early today
reported las additional true bills
against persons accused of selling
their votes in the November election.
This makes q total of $50 indictments
already returned. The procession of
penitents who are coming to the court
daily to plead guilty keeps up.
1t has become somewhat of a point
OF pride with the indicted citizens to
beat the deputy sheriffs by getting to
court before warrants can be served.
Judge Blair's methods in listening to
the pleas OF guilty are extremely in
formal. He knows large proportion
OF the voters of the county by their
first names and when they come into
court the scene is rather q social one.

MONT. IRRIGATION PROJECTS
Will Receive Large Appropriation
From Federal Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Dec. p. - Almost
SS, 0CO. 900 will be diverted to the COM
pletion of Montana irrig alton pro-
jects during the following three years
for which President Taft, adopting
the recommend ations of a board of
army engineers, has made an appor.
tionment OF $40. 900, 900 for both loans
and reclamation.
Only 81, 100000 will be applied TO
Montana projects from loan funds
and the Milk river project gets that,
together with %, csc, 900 from the rec
lamation fund. The s3,27S,0O0 ap-
portioned to the Sun river project
from the reclamation fund must be
used in construction work and will
rot be sufficient to complete the sys-
tenn aud place it on PROTEIN aking
basis.
The total for Milk river .is also be-
low expectations and will not be
enough to finish the project and place
the lands under water. Only S1l0. 900
is allowed for the completion of the
Huntlev project and s57s, 900 for the
lower Yellowstone project.
While Montana gets the largest
apportionment OF any state, still it is
not enough to produce finished re-
cults on any one project. 1t is ex-
pected that eventually another loan
will be necessary.

Forty Below At Winnipeg.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Cold and
storms will prevail throughout most
of the country for the next 4S hours,

United States weather bureau. From
Florida to Maine along the Atlantic
coast storm warnings are swapping in
the rising gale and winters icy grip
is tightening in the northwest, where
the mercury is standing at 20 degrees
below zero in Duluth, Mimi, and
Devils Lake, n. Dakota.
The conditions, the weather bureau
declares, are directly traceable to the
passage northward of the storm tha,
has been centered south. In the ter
ritory from the Appalachian range to
the Rockies the mercury is falling
steadily and the conditions are aggra'
vated by another storm that is brew.

Settlers May Lose Claims.

WASHINGTON, Dec. q The CON-
missioner general OF the land Office
has recently rendered a decision tha
practically holds for cancellation 800
homestead entrymen under the Sun
river igation project. One section
of the $4,000, 900 bond bill for the
completion of the irrigation projects,
which was passed last June, provided
that no more homestead entries be
permitted on the land TO be covered
by irrig alton projects until the water
cost per foot had been fixed and the
size of the homestead unit had beer
determined by the secretary of the in
terror. This would practically pro.
hibit future entries until the bitches
were completed and the water was
ready for irrig alton.
1t seems that about 800 homestead.
ers had offered their filings last spring
and early last summer on lands tha,
will be covered by the Sun river pro-
ject when 1t is completed; but that
owing to the congested condition OF the
Great Falls land Office their filings
had not been placed on record. The
commissioner now holds that not hav.
ing been recorded at the time OF the
passage of the law in June, those en-.
tries cannot be accepted.
In order TO settle questions arising
over filings rejected by the Great Falls
land Office under the Sun river pro.
ject, the secretary Of the interior or.
dered q sample case to be certified to
him and upon consider alton of all the
facts be has directed the commissioners
to receive the filings just as they
would have been received prior to the
passage of the act OF June, 1910.

Would Repeal Utah Law.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 3O.-"The
unwritten law' is better unwritsen
than written, in the opinion of the at.
torney general of Utah. This is one of
the few states in which an offense
against chastity is legal justification
for homicide. In his biennial report
to the governor, Attorney Gener al
Barnes recommended that the law be
repealed. He takes the ground that it
is useless and many men are killed
under Its provision. The section of
the statute to which Mr.. Barnes oh.
jects says that "homicide committed
In the heat of passion caused by the
attempt OF deceased to defile wife,
daughter, sister or mother or other
female relative or dependent of the
accused, or when the de6lement has
already been committed" The law
was passed in the early territorial
days and has never been altered.

Investigation disclosed that the

last two years, although undou btedly
insolvent, and although inspected at
regular intervals by national bank
examiners. Within that time the ex.
aminers were unable to learn the
banks true condition, largely because

though nominally the assent OF the
