COLOSSAL
Irrigation Project On Cana.
dian Border

Glasgow, Mont, Aug. PA collosal
irrigation system undertaken by the
United States government will add
100000 acres of cultivated areas to
Montana and will be of great benefit
on the Canadian side of the border.
The Milk river project will be a big
engineering feat. Funds for the COM
pletion of the work, which has been
years, now is assured as the result
of the recent visit by the Congress
ional committee on appropriations. A
commission from Canada recently met
the United States commission in the
matter, and the decision as to the
rights Of each country in the irriga-
long.
Members of the u. S. commission,
who ended their tour of reclamation
projects with an inspection trip over
this greatest of Uncle Sans irriga-
tion works, were amazed by the prog
ress made on the various units of the
Milk river project. They declared
there is no longer any doubt that the
great water supply which is to bring
the bloom to 100000 acres will soon
,, be available.
The Green River Belt" which will
be irrigated comprises strip OF land
l39 miles long, extending from Chi
nook to Glasgow, covering an area
ranging from quarter of a mile to
three miles wide, making the longest
irrigated strip in the country.
! Another striking feature Of the Milk
river project is that the water for this
gigantic engineering feat will be tax
en- from near the roof top of the Rock
les, in Glacier National Park, Four
lakes will furnish an everlasting sup
ply, These lakes form great natural
reservoirs. and are fed by melting
SHOWS and glaciers from the Rocky
Mountain range. The fertility of the
glacier water, so richly laden with
silt. is astonishing even to govern
ment experts, who have known more
or less Of the value of glacier waters
carrying an abundance of organi :
matter.
With this endless water supply se-
curely damned and held at will for ir,
rigation Of the soil. the engineers will
have nearly finished their work. for
already the work of siphoning. ditch
ing and fluming way for the wat ,rs
over the hills of the Hudson Bay D;
vide and into the north branch of the
Milk River has been fairly completed
The fact that the water flows
through Canada for many miles he
fore returning into Montana made the
project an international one, The
matter of treaty rights has besl al
for contention several years in CO.;

CAMPMEETING
Of the Seventh Day Adventists of
the State of Ohio
(Reported by Elder j. r. oImstead.)

seventh day was the Sabbath in Eden
only Sabbath known from Adam to
Moses, and since that period Israel OBJ
served the original rest day while
wholly following the Lord. All Chris
tian people are agreed that the sew
enth day, of the fourth commandment,
continued till the crucifixion, and then
some think a change was made either
by Christ himself or by the Apostles,
but the New Testament is silent re.
garding the change" declared Mr..
Votaw, 80 we must npd proof from
another source"
In reading from "A Catechism of
Christian Dostrine," page 6S, the fol-
lowing language was found: Are the
Sabbath day and Sunday the same?
The Sabbath day and the Sunday are
not the same. The Sabbath is the
seventh day OF the week, and the day
which was kept holy in the Old Law,
the Sunday is the first day of the
week, and is the day which is kept
holy in the New Law"
why does the Church command us
to keep the Sunday holy instead of
the Sabbath? The Church commands
us to keep the Sunday holy instead OF
the Sabbath because on Sunday
Christ rose from the dead, and on
Sunday He sent the Holy Ghost upon
the Apostles"
Chambers Encyclopedia" was also
quoted. "UnQuestionably the first
law either ecclesiastical or civil. by
which the Sabbatical observance is
known to have been ordained, is the
edct OF Constantine 321 A. d."
The Catholic Christian Instructed,
page 252 says: What warrant have
you for keeping the Sunday, prefer
ably to the ancient Sabbath, which
was Saturday? We have for it the au
thority of the Catholic church and the
Apostolica tradition"
Mr.. Votaw said that there had beer
believers who had observed the Sab
bath day ever since the days Of Christ
! when the Portuguese rounded tn,
Cape of Good Hope. and sailing NJ
the east coast Of Africa they came II
touch with the Abysinnians, and thel
going to the Malabar coast of lndi;
they again found seventh day observ
ers.

Besides the capture Of Kovno the
Germans have taken additional Novo-

their account, have penetrated the
outer positions of Brest-Litoysk, the
great fortress which is the mainstay
Of what was expected to be the RUS

There is no evidence yet Of Grand
Duke Nicholas intentions, but mill
tary writer's are of the opinion that
the swiftness of the German advance
has rendered ii impossible for him to
make stand on the Brest-Litovsk
line, which already virtually has been
turned by Field Marshal Won Macken-

In the north.
The French have scored two sue
Cesses in the west, taking a portion
Of German trench in Artois after

there has been heavy and continuous

have greatly improved their positions.
There have been some long distance

REWARDS OFFERED
IN LYNCHING CASE
Believed By Few That Frank Was
Killed at MIIIedgevlIIe

Macon, Ga, Aug. 20. - That Cover
TOR Harris means business in his hunt
for the lynchers of Leo NJ. Frank, peo
pie In his home city are satisfied. The
Information was received here from
the governor that he has offered half
Of the entire reward fund Of the state
FOR 1915 for the three first convictions
Of parties guilty Of the abduction and
lynching of Frank. The fund provided
for the purpose Of covering executive
offers Of rewards Is limited to $4,000
o year, the maximum In any one case
being $500.
The proclamation Is so drawn that
II leaves room for doubt as to whether
the actual staying OF Frank occurred
iedgeyllle, in Baldwin county This
covers the possibility that Frank was
KILLED by lynchers before the party
reached Cobb county, a belief shared
IA by quite few, The point Is raised
that II Is entirely probable that the
body was displayed at the place where
II was found for the purpose and with
the intention OF forcing trial of the
case or cases In the event OF appre.
hension Of any of the lynchers In the
county where feeling against Frank IL
bftter and where the family of Mary
Phagan. the murdered girl. lived.
Governor Harris issued statement
IN which ne shows that every possible
effort was made to protect the pris.
oner. "There Is no man In the bounds
OF the state that regrets moro deeply
than do this unfortunate occur
renee" ne says. II shall do all In my
power to discover and bring the per.
pertators to justice. Mob law should
never take the place OF statute law
There will be no safety to life, liberty
or property until this Is recognized by
our people"
Within few days Georgia will be
overrun with detectives. The Marietta
police and sheriffs Of dozen counties
are also busy on the case and believe
that within short time tney will
have progress to report. II Is probable
that the real start OF the probe into
the lynching will come next Tuesda!

GASP, BEH0LD|NC THEIR DEAD
CROWDS AT CHICAGO ARMORf
IDENTIFY EASTLAND VICTIMS,
Little Sign Of Violent Emotion,
Though Everywhere Tenseness Of
Repression Is Apparent.

Chicago, July ga silent shifting
awiting throng crowded around the
doors of the Second regiment arm
DRY, where the dead Of the Eastland
were taken for Identification
Time and again group would
pause beside pitiful bundle. There
would be a gasp, a low voiced ex-
clamation, merciful flow of tears
and another would be taken from the
list Of unidentified dead and placed
in the known column.
There was little sign Of violent emo
ton though everywhere the tense
ness of repression was apparent. Men
and women, boys and girls and even
little ones bereft in many cases of all
their loved ones, though they shook
with sobs, made no outcry as they
beheld their dead. Some few broke
down under the strain and were cared
for by a corps of Red Cross nurses
stationed in a squadron near the en-
trance. But Of the thousands who
through the night and day Wis
tied the armory, not more than a hun
dred needed aid.
