FavOrS Movement
to Get Irrigation
Maj. Baldwin Thinks We
Should Petition for
Water

Mai. B. M. Baldwin of Kalis-
pell was in the city Tuesday,
en- route to Helena and while in
town took the opportunity to
interview a number Of business
men and few farmers concern
ing the advisability of petition
ing the proper officials with a
view of securing irrigation for
the valley north of Cut Bank.
Major Baldwin thinks this is an
opportune time to do it, since
work on the Milk River project
has actually begun and he feels
certain that if a great majority
desired it, a ditch would be run
down this way while work is in
progress, to water the lands in
Headlight.
The Pioneer Press f e S
certain that the farmers of this
community feel the "a m e
toward this question that they
felt when they petitioned the
Interior Department to have the
proposed project abandoned.
At that time they did not ex-
press opposition to irrigation,
but did most emphatically ex-
press their opposition to the
governmental policy as pursued
in other places where projects
were under way-that of inter-
minable delay, high charges for
water as reault of the heavy
expense of maintaining a corps
of engineers and other time
serving attaches, withdrawal
of the public domain for years,
leaving its final status in dark
ness and the cutting up of the
farm units in such small parcels
as to render farming in north
ern region like this improbable
under the best conditions.
The Pioneer Press today be-
lieveS what it has alwas believ-
ed; that if the settlers in the
Cut Bank community could be
assured water in short period,
without withdrawal of t h e
lands, cutting up of the farms
into small units and water at a
reasonable rate they would
favor it almost unanimously.
If these conditions cannot be
assured we believe they would
prefer to pursue scientific dry
land farming on uninsumbered
lands, with chances of harvest
ing a fairly good crop nearly
every year. And if the Gov
ernment rainfall sta isti ic s
amount to anything they have
a better chance here than in any
section east of the Rockies in
Montana.

MURDER OF EDITOR.
Announcement of Verdict Was Greeted
by Tremendous Uproar In French
Courtroom.

Paris, July 30.-"Not guilty" is the
verdict of the jury in the sensational
trial of Nine. Caillaux for murder, a
case that has kept Paris excited and
the world interested. The verdict was
reached in less than an hour.
Nine. Caillaux killed CASTOR Cal

while temporarily insane through fear
that he would publish letters which
had passed between herself and Gail
laux before they were husband and

1t is probable that the unwritten law
also plays its part in bringing about
the acquittal of the beautiful wife OF
the former French premier. The deli
cate point of honor was dwelt upon
at length by Maitre Labor in his plea
for the prisoner, who sat weeping soft

effect. Before he finished several oil

ment by the jurors was greeted with
an uproar which seemed to shake the
very walls of the palais du justice.

OBREGON TOO ACTIVE
HE TAKES ouERETARo AND MAY
HURRY TO MEXICO CITY, up
SETTING PLANS.
VILLA WORRIES WASHINGTON
Since He Left SaltiIlo Conference In
Angry Mood the State Department
Has Lost Track of Him and His
Purposes.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Queretaro, the
last stronghold of the federal forces
north of Mexico City, has been cap
TIRED by General Obregon, according
to dispatches to the state department.
Unofficial reports indicate that Obre-
gon will proceed at once to the Mexi-
can capital. This is at variance with
the Carranza-C arbajal plan under
which all the constitutionalist leaders
would enter Mexico City at the same
time.
The state department has lost Gen
eral Villa and has been unable to get
answers, to its recent instructions to
its agents in Mexico to discover his
purposes and report to Washington.
The last authentic dispatch to the
department was from one of the con-
suls, who declared that Villa had left
the Carranza-villa conference at Sal
tillo in bitter mood.
General Villa has nc personal agent
in Washington, but it is said that ne
suspects the close relations which
have been brought about between the
British admiral, Sir Christopher era
dock, Carbajal and Carranza.
Even officials in the state depart
ment are of the opinion that the resig-
nation of Huerta, practically in favor
of Carranza, through Carbajal, was
brought about when Sir Christopher
Cradock visited Huerta just before the
resignation at Mexico City.
Cabinet officers who were asked for
news about General Villa and his
movements were loath to discuss the
subject. It can be asserted, however,
on high military authority that Villa
is regarded by the army as the agency
which brought about the fall Of Huerta
and that he with his army eventually
would have gone to Mexico City
whether or not Great Britain had Sc
cured the a~bdication of Huerta. Mos
Of the officers think Villa is in position
to dictate terms to Carranza and that
he is only waiting to hear what kind
OF terms Carbaial and Carranza will
agree on before making his purpose
known.

BIG STAGE ROBBERY
THlRTY-FIvE COACHES ARE HELD
UP I'M YELLOWSTONE PARK
BY TWO BANDITS.
TOURISTS SURRENDER $4,000
Masked Man With Rifle Makes Them
Dump All Their Money in Gunny
Stockholders and Scouts After the
Miscreants.

Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo., July
31.-Two masked and armed highway
men held up IS stage coachcs nea
Soshone point, between the Thumb
lunch station and Old Faithful inn,
and robbed the passengers. The
coaches, which had left Old Faithful
inn all together on their way to the
Lake hotel, belong to the Yellow
stone Park Transportation company,
the Yellowstone &YWestern Sage
company, the Wylie Permanent Camp
ing company and the Shaw-Powell
Camping company.
The passengers were requested to
get off the stages by n of the high
waymen, who held a rife and COM
PEELED them to deposit their cash
only" in a gunny sack which he had
prepared for that purpose. The other
bandit was stationed down the road a
short distance to keep the last coaches
from returning to Old Faithful inn and
reporting the holdup.
The, man who held the gun was
about five feet eight, and weighed
about one hundred and forty-five
pounds. The other bandit was a
larger man, but, on account OF his
keeping in the timber, a good descrip-
ton could not be secured by the pas
sengers.
Driver Frazier Of the Yellowstone
Western Stage company, who was the
driver of the last stage leaving Old
Faithful inn, on coming TO the top OF
Soshone point saw below him in the
road the coaches all lined up and the
passengers being robbed, and turned
and beat a hasty retreat to Old Faith
full inn, where he reported the holdup
to the military authorities.
The men who pulled off the job
were evidently old hands at the game,
as the stages we're only an hour late
in getting to the Thumb lunch station.
Colonel Brett, superintendent of the
park, at once ordered all scouts and
soldiers to the scene of the holdup,
and also threw a screen Of soldiers
around the western and southern
boundaries of the park. There was
no excitement on the part of the pas
sengers; nc shots were fired and nc
vi was injured.
The bandits got away with about
three thousand dollars in money.

TELLURIDE is RUINED
FLOOD DESTROYS NOTED COLO.
RADIO MINING TOWN.
en- Are Drowned-scores Saved
by Warning.

Denver, July 29.-The noted mining
town of Telluride was practically de
stroyed by a torrent that descended
upon it, almost without warning. from
Cornet creek. The flood resulted from
a ~cloudburst about four miles up In
the mountain.
Two women are known to have been
drowned, ard IS children were res
cued after a wall of water from eight
to twenty feet high had hit the city.
That the loss of life was not heavier
is considered almost miraculous. Cor
net canyon runs a p~recipitous course
directly into the city of Telluride.
The town has a population OF 1000.
Gregory Sanchez, a miner who lives
at the mouth of the canyon, has been
i'll and was not working. Sitting upon
his humble porch he heard the roar OF
the torrent. He ran half clad into the
town, warning everyone he passed.
He was the means of saving scores OF
lives; for, soon after he had given the
warning, hundreds of families were
fleeing to the hillsides.
All Telluride's 1900 inhabitants are
huddled in upper stories of houses on
the sides of the hills. Many of them
know that their little homes have
been wrecked beyond repair; but, with
the stern heroism of the miner and
his own, they do not complain.
The physical loss is greater than
any in Telluride yet realize. Experts
declare that the property damage can
not be under s275,000. Not a residence
or a business house in the little city,
except a few cottages scattered along
the sides of the hills, remains whole.
The dead are Mrs. John Johnson,
wife of a miner. and Mrs. E. e. Blake
ly, a jewelers. wife. Thomas Welsh,
mine owner, is missing.
When the food hit the city proper
there was no dearth of heroes. John
Sands, teamster, and Harry Lyle, q
miner, rescued 20 children who had
been literally washed out of their
homes.
