NEWELL EXPLAINS DELAY.
Director Of Reclamation Service
Makes Annual Report.

''>~~ '"''''~S~' ssSPVuS -
A Washington special says the an.
nual report of the director of the
United States reclaim alton service,
covering the fiscal year ended June 30,
1911, does not show as great progress
on the Montan projects as would have
been indicated had preliminary diff
culties on the Milk river and Sun
river projects been overcome year
ago. The Milk river project, accord
ing to the report, has been held back
because Of International difficulties

tiers, while the adjustment of nitric ate
engineering problems has held up con.
struction at Sun river. The report
shows the Huntley and lower Yellow
stone projects very nearly completed,
except for proposed extensions. On
all the Indian projects, however, pro-
gress was m made SO far as funds avail
able would permit
The following extracts taken from
the report OF Director Newell size up
the situation in Montana. Speaking
of the Milk river project, be says:
'Three factors have contributed to
delaying construction work on the
Milk river project during past year;
first, the necessity of an adjustment
of water rights on the St. Mary and
Milk rivers as between the United
States and Canada, which difficulty
was disposed of by the treaty pro-
claimed May 13, 1910; second, water
rights which have been filed under the
state laws of Montana are held by the
people who are to be benefited by
the expenditures from the reclaim alton
fund for the construction of this pro-
ject, remain unadjusted and for this
reason construction work during the
fiscal year has not been started. Me-
gotiations are being directed toward
an early adjustment of this m after by
contract between the owners of priv ate
lands and bitches and the secretary of
the interior, after witch construction
work will be resumed and carried for.

State Auditor Resigns.
Helena Record.

Harry r. Cunningham, state auditor
and insurance commissioner. today
resigned that Office. It was accepted
by Acting Governor Allen, and the
latter appointed G. M. Mccoy, who
has been deputy insurance commits
sioner for two years, to fill the vacan-
cy.
The news of the resign alton of Mr..
Cunningham occasioned a great deal
of surprise when it became known, and
there were many expressions Of regret.
In statement he gave out after he
had placed his resignation in the
hands OF Governor Allen, Mr.. Gun
ningham told why be had resigned
This statement follows:
"My action was prompted only be-
cause I have found it impossible,
with increasing responsibilities and
extraordinary personal expenses
caused by continued illness in my
family, to make both ends meet
on the limited salary paid by the
state. I have devoted the past seven
years of my life to the conscientious,
earnest and energetic upbuilding OF
the department, to which the people so
highly honored me by two elections. I
have no hesitancy in saying frankly
that the insurance department over
which the auditor, as commissioner Of
insurance ex.of11cio, has supervision
and control, stands second to no
department in this country in credit,
position or reliability. We have
brought affairs relating to matters OF
insurance in this state to q most
satisfactory condition, not only from
the standpoint OF supervision, but to
the people At large, and the companies
licensed to transact business in Mon.
tana."
