Fate" Moore, who lives three
miles east of this city suffered a
fall from his wagon while in the
city Saturday evening and at
this time is in a very serious con-
dition.
Mr.. Moore came to Prescott

to one of the gins here where he
unloaded his wagon and was
driving to the business part of
the city when he stepped back
ward in the wagon, stumbling
over the Sidboards which were
laying in the bottom, falling

nothing was the matter.
He placed the sideboards back
in the wagon and drove to the

RESERVOIR FOR
IRRIGATION

ing advantage Of the topography
|of the region, engineers on the
Musse)shell Irrigation Project have
overcome a difficulty which has
for years been thought insurmount-
able, in supplying water to the
25,O0O acres included in the dis
trict, during the irrigation season.
The river from which the water
is taken, the Musselshell, is so
small during the months Of July,
August and September, that it is
impossible to take .enough water
from it to irrigate the district.
A short distance from the upper
end of the project is a natural res
.ervoir known locally as the Devils
Basin" and into this the waters
from the river are diverted during
the spring months when the melt
ing snow in the mountains converts
tie Musse1sIeH river iato q for
midable stream. To do this it is
necessary to build a canal from
the river to the reservoir, about
ten miles long, from which the wa
ter is turned back into the river,
through a short tunnel and ca
nal about half mile long through
a deep cut.
When the irrigating season opens
the water is allowed to run out of
the reservoir back into the river,
and from there is taken out into
the irrigation bitches The rcser-
Yoir will hold 100000 acre feet, or
sufficient water to cover 100,
acres one foot deep.
The district extends abou t 80

gineers, the possibilities of irriga-

ANCIENT LAND
PATENTS Ell I

1t would seem strange that an
owner of a quarter section of land
would be interested In his land suf-
ficiently to see that his title was
perfected from the time it was
decided by the government to the
original entryman until the land
finally passed into his hands, says
the Fergus County Democrat. Or
it may be that the original entry
man still faithfully tills the soil
where he spent many hard days of
pioneer life. and has such implicit
faith in the United States govern
ment that he has accepted his final
certificate when he made proof
and supposed there was nothing
further to do as long as he paid
his taxes, to perfect his title to the
land in the county in which the
land was located.
However it may be, it is fact
that there are something over two
hundred government land patents
that have never been claimed and
are still being held in the local
land office awaiting a claimant.
For instance, there is patent
there to one Patrick Morrisey, of
Meagher county, Montana, signed
by President Grover Cleveland on
the 11th day cf May, 1898, over
twenty years ago.
Still further back is a desert
land patent issued to one Charles
W. Baylies of Fergus county, Mon.
tana, signed by President Benja.
min Harrison on the 18th day of
February, 1893. There are quite
a few patents signed by President
William Mckinley during his first
term Of office and, coming down to
more recent times, there are many
patents signed by Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, and now a
large number of patents arc being
received almost daily bearing the
signature of Woodrow Wilson.
Register Harry j. Kelly states
!; that these patents will be held as
long as the Office is in existence
unless claimed by the owners ol
the land, and while they are safely
kept in the fireproof vault, ii would
complete the records of his office

Okla Notes

We notice quite number of
land seekers in our neighborhood
this week. Our crops speak for
themselves. The land agent should
have an easy job now in selling
land in this district, as we'll as all
others adjacent, as we have both
the soil and climate which are gilt
edge.
All the farmers in this neighbor-
hood are busy threshing their own
grain and helping their neighbors
with their threshing. They are
all wearing good large smiles as
the general acreage yield is very
satisfactory although the price of
wheat could be better. A number
have sold at top notch prices at
the Okla elevator and some are
holding for better prices.
We wish to correct the name,
Walter Unit, which appeared in
our last items to Walter Witt and
to state that his wheat yield was
l2S bushels per acre. Mr.. Witt has
a splendid equipment for the hand
ling of large crops.
G. r. Stone is now threshing
his $40 acres of oats which will
yield about 40 bushel per acre.
The market and the farmers
have been doing some dodging the
past week. The markets have
been very uneven. Some of the
farmers are holding for better price
and some have sold. However the
majority are holding.
