Judge Crum on Wednesday evening
approved the petition of several hun.

of an irrigation district. and thereupon
issued court making the creation
of the district effective. In accord.

The completion of this irrigation
project means that about $4,000 acres

Ryegate to Melstone will be placed
under irrigation, and that eventually
this acreage may be increased by ad-
ditional 10000 acres as the advantages
to be derived from the project become

In an interview with a representa-.

Speed Smith, chief naturalization ex-
aminer, gave out some Information
that will prove of great Importance
to aliens desiring to become citizens
of the United States. According to
Mr.. Speed all those aliens whose "first
papers" are dated prior to September
~, 1906, when the new naturalization
law went into effect, must file their
application for full naturalization be-
fore September 26. 1913. because after
that date all those first papers, will
be invalid. The new naturalization
law provides that aliens must apply
for full citizenship before the expira-
tion Of seven years after the issuance
of FIRST papers" 1t has been ruled
by the several judges. a number oil
Montana judges concurring. notably
Judge Crum Of this district, that this
law applies to all aliens who have not
yet been granted full citizenship. Any
application based on first papers" is

While denying the application for

road commission, in a majority report,
holds that there should be facilities at
Lavina for the interchange of passen-

commission has also ordered the in

The decision was prepared by E. A.

of traffic and would do much toward
developing the common territory serv-

sisted.

Claiming that the assessment of
coal and mineral reservations held by
the Northern Pacific in this county is
illegal, NJ. C. Sanders, tax commission
er of the railway company, has given
notice that an action will be institut-
ed In the district court of this county
to prevent the county treasurer from
collecting taxes on such reservations.
=. p. Hickey, tax agent for the N. p,
appeared before the board of county
commissioners sitting as board of
equalization last week at which time
he formally requested that the assess
ment of coal reservations be cancelled
as illegal. The request was promptly
denied. Three other requests were
filed by Mr. Hickey at the same time,
all Of which were denied. These re.
quests asked for a reduction in the
assessment of all N. P. lands north of
the Musselshell river from $3.50 to
$500 an acre and reduction of all
coal lands to $500 per acre.
Speaking of the contemplated action
of the N. p in this matter, the Helena
Record says:
''The right of placing valuation up
on the mineral reservations in Mon
taan of the Northern Pacific for taxa.
tion purposes is to be tested out in
Musselshell county. This was practi-
cally admitted today by M. c. Sanders,
tax commissioner of the Northern Pa
cific, who was in the city from st. Paul
today in conference with State Tax
Commissioner G. NJ. Houtz.
"ln disposing of thousands of acres
of land within its land grant, the
Northern Pacific sold the surface
rights only, reserving all oil, coal and
minerals that might be contained in
the land. Recently, in replying to q
query frcm Commissioner Houtz, At.
torney General Kelly held these reser
vations were taxable, and Mr.. Houtz
accordingly notified the county assess
ors to this effect.
"Mr. Sanders has been advised that
every county in Montana, save Silver
Bow, Yellowstone and Lewis and CLARK
have assessed these reservations. Be
cause Assessor X. f. Park of Mussel
shell county has made his assessment
in strict compliance with the law in
every particular, placing the mineral
reservations on his assessment rolls
before they were turned in to the coun
ty board Of equalization, it was decided
to test the question there.
THE action will probably be one fol-
an injunction, the railroad asking that
the county treasurer of Musselshell
be restrained from collecting taxes
levied on mineral reservations, on the
ground that there is no authority in
law for such levy. From the district
court the case will be carried to the
supreme court for final determination.

SURVEYORS NEAR
White SULPHUR
BELIEVE CONSTRUCTION WORK
COMPLETION BY 1915.

White Sulphur Springs Republicans:
Northern Pacific surveyors are camped
at Willow Creek, east Of town, and are
working east of there. In q few days
they will be engaged in running the
line between White Sulphur and Will
low Creek This is final survey and
the line as now surveyed is practical
ly the same as the former survey made
three years ago. 1t comes as direct
as possible from Glendive, and from
here will be extended to Helena. The
line is a cutoff on the present thru
line, and will shorten the N. p. road
hundred miles.
The survey misses Harlowton, Two
dot and Martinsdale from to 16
miles, but that the road will build to this
town is very plain. The surveyors at
present are to work only as far as the
town limits at present, but are cross.
sectioning the line as they come.
which argues construction in the near
future.
The opinion Is generally held in rail.
road circles that the Northern Pacific
will try and complete this line before
the Panama Exposition opens. To ac-
complish this it will be necessary to
begin construction all along the line
this fall or early next spring. OF
course, the unsettled money market
may cause the road to delay, but that
is considered improbable.
The completion OF the road thru the
Springs will mark the greatest boom
that has occurred In this part of the
state in several years. II is believed
that at that time all the larger ranches
will be broken up and sold, and the
population of the town and valley In.
creased several times.

hlnta on Exerclse.

Exercise favors the growth OF bono
and muscle. 1t quickens the elimina-
ton Of waste products. 1t accelerates
the work of the liver, the lungs. the
skin and the kidneys. 1t makes more
active the brain. 1t brightens the eye,
clears the skin and tones up the
whole organism. The appetite Is
made keener and digestion Is aided
by a greater appetite for food.
But while exercise Is absolutely
necessary to health and to a perfect
digestion, it does not always achieve
this end, as for instance, when 1t IL
taken too soon before or after meals,
says Health and Strength. No one
should exercise Immediately proceed
ing or following meal, one hour be-
fore and two hours after eating being
the better time. It Is fairly safe, how
ever, to fix the time preceding a meal
at one hour, for the stomach is then
somewhat empty.
