of the Milk River Valley into on e of
Montana's choicest garden spots is
assured. according to kilograms re-
ceived this morning by Supervising

Newell.
"Milk river vested water contra cts
executed and forwarded to you by
registered mail May 1. Have stock
subscription contracts and excess
land trust deeds filed for record at

er contained this information:
"Authority to advertise for con-
struction of Dodson canals granted
by department April Goth, bids to be
opened May 21. Specifications will
be forwarded by May A.
Nine years ago Supervising Engineer
Savage first began working
toward this end, and through diff
culties of every kind he persever ed
until success has crowned his efforts.
II am sending you under separate
cover the pen which Acting Secretary
of the Interior Samuel Adams used
in atfixing his signature to the ap-
prOval of the formal contract be-
tween the land owners of the Milk
river project and the United States
government" wrote Mr.. Newell to
Engineer Savage last week. "This
contract launches the government
upon the great engineering work Of
the Milk river project; involving tn e
ultimate expenditure of approx
mately $7,0o0,000.
II congratulate you upon the sue
cessfull outcome Of your labors in
connection with this work and trust
that the progress made during the
next few years will meet with the
commendation and approval of all
the land owners in the valley. We
recognize here that it was a Hnrcu-
lean work to adjust the complex and
varied problems satisfactorily and
we are rejoicing greatly at the sue
cessful termination of the prelimin.
ary work."
The project involves the construc-
tion of five hundred mile ditch, and
the diversion of waters of the St.
Mary's drainage basin that now dis
charges into Hudson Bay, into the
Milk river, through a twenty-seven
mile canal. The lands to be re-
claimed aggregate 1000 acres and
lie between Havre on the west and
the confluence of the Milk river wit h
the Missouri about 25 miles east of
Glasgow. The entire tract to be re-
claimed is traversed by the Great
Northern Railway.
'The construction of the St.
Mary's lakes storage feature of the
Milk river project will be one of the
first of the big works to be taken
up" said Engineer Savage today.
lin this connection the reclama-
tion service will construct a hydro
electric power plant in the Glacier
National park. The pow er will be
transmitted ten miles to St. Mary's
