Affects Milk River Project.

According TO q Washington special
to the Anaconda Stand ard, the recla.
nation service will not object to the
proposal recently submitted by L..
Newman on behalf of members of the
Upper Valley Water Users associa-
ton of the Milk river irrigation pro.
ject, provided private land owners who
may hereafter sell part or all of their
lands shall have a thorough and COM
plete understanding with purchasers
as to what water rights are attached to
each tract of land cold.
The reclamation service recently
gave out the following statement of its
position in the matter:
The reclamation service has taken
the position that it will not proceed
with construction on the Milk river
project until the lao landowners In the
upper valley furnish not only detailed
descriptions of each 40 acres of their
holding, but chow specifically to wha,
part OF their land their existing water
rights attach. 1t ia we'll known tina,
the outstanding water rights are no,
adequate to cover the entire %, 00(
acres owned by these lao individuals,
for each stakeholder in the Waite,
Users associ alton claims but 12l acret
of water for each share of stocks
share representing 100 acres.
Moreover, inasmuch as Montana.
water laws are VIGOROUSLY inferior te
the water laws of most other western
states, and as some of the private
bitches to he absorbed by the big gov
eminent project are in poor condition
there is great uncertainty as to jus
what vested water rights in the upper
valley are worth at the present time
1t is because of this uncertainty, an(
because of q desire to avert long lit
cation, such as has hampered o.he1
government projects which have in
cluded private lands and absorbed
small canal systems, that the recla
nation service is demanding as mucl
as it does.

DR.. WALDRON
C1airvoyant and Fakir Convicted Of
Embezzlement.

DR.. Waldron, clairvClant and fak1r,
has been convicted by a jury. The trial
was in the District Court, Judge I. F.
Bell. The State was represented by
District Attorney Foster and the de-
fendant by Judge A. J. Murff. The jury
reached a verdict within five minutes
after they had retired.
1t is almost incredible to think that in
dividuals possessed of ordinary common
sense could be so easily nlislead by such
a man as Dr. Wa1dron, so-called. His
dupes were, with few exceptions, wom-
en-. From the evidence adduced he is a
swindler of the most audacious type.
Although he was ably defneded, he
could not escape. If he had not been
convicted he would have been arrested
before he could have left the court
house on warrants from Arkansas charg-
ing him with embezzlement. From in
formation obtained through the sheriff S
office, he has operated similar games OF
confidence in many other towns. In an
Arkansas city there was man who was
very fond OF drink, and his wife, who
had made several trips to the Rev. Wal
dron, who was going under the name OF
Belmont, had promised through his mys-
tic powers to cure the husband of this
awful habit He told the woman tc
place her most valued jewels in bag
and come to him with them and he
would pass bis wand over them. This
he did, and after handling the bag for d
| few minutes cautioned the woman not
to open the bag for FIVE days, and when
she did her valuables, which amounted
to several thousand dollars, were gone
In their stead were only few pebbles
The old lady died of heart failure upor
finding that her valuables were gone.
The charge in Shreveport was by Viii
liam Bolin, from whom DR., Waldror
obtained $500 on the pretense of opening
picture show, as good investment
Before disappearing Waldron had PLACED
four one-dolIar bills in sack left fol

MACK E. LEE ARRESTED.

Mack E. Lee, for years clerk at the
postofice, has been arrested by detec-
tives of the United States on a serious
charge. It appears that letters contain
ing money have failed to reach their
destination, which led to an investiga-
ton. A decoy letter with money was
dropped in the postofice and soon there
after Lee was arrested at Chamberlin's
Cafe, where he had gone for cup of
coffee. It is stated that he was followed
by detective who secured parts of the
envelope which contained the money,
and which he threw on the sidewalk. A
second detective was on the opposite
side of the street keeping a watch on
Lee. 1t is to be regretted that Lee could
not and did not resist the temptation.

LEFT HAND KNOWS NOT
What the Right Hand Is Doing in the
Sugar Trust.

Washington, June 13.-Effort to discover
whether noncompetitive zones had been
established by the American Sugar Re
filming company in an effort to control
prices, marked the resumption of the
sugar trust inquiry today. Edwin +.
Atkins. acting head of the sugar corpora
ton, who only became an official of the
company two years ago, said he was I'M
able to answer from personal knowledge
many of the questions put to him. Mr.
Atkins declared, however, that the
American Sugar Refining company
owned practically a majority of
stock in the sugar refineries in California
and that 1t did not attempt to compete
with them. He gave as the reason for
this abandonment of the coast business
the freight rate difference of a II cent a
pound on sugar transported from the
eastern refinerieS. This, he insisted, was
the principal reason for the failure OF
competition.
The sugar ought to be lower on the Pa
cific coast?" asked Representative Rak-
eTt.
Yes said Mr. Atkins who added that
he knew nothing of the conduct of the
far western companies He did not
know Mr.. Spreckles, he said. nor what in
terest the latter had in various beet sugar
companies of the west.
Il have not been able to get any in
formation from any of the companies in
which we are largely interested" sad
Mr.. Atkins. I'VE are minority stock
holders and they refuse to tell US any
thing about their business"
