OF GREAT
PLANT AT STAKE
Future Of Big Irrigation Pro
ject at Williston Is in
the Balance.

WllllStOn, n. D., July 1.-The next
80 days will, in all probability, deter
mine whether or not the government
will abandon the local irrigation pro-
ject or whether furtEcr effort will be
made to put the plant on a successful
basis. ..
That this statement Of the present
condition of affairs is correct is adj
mitted by representatives of the re-
clamation service as we'll as by rep
resentatives of The water users under
the local project. After holding hear
ings in the city last week and listen
ing to about 80 per ent Of the water
users who appeared before them, the
members of the board OF review, ap-
pointed to investigate local conditions,
adjourned until the last Of this month
when they will reassemble here for
the purpose of completing their rec
concentrations to the Washington Off
cials concerning the future of the
North Dakota pumping project.
To Decied Upon Action.
Although it was officially announced
that the adjournment was taken to al
low the gathering OF more Informal
ton, it is understood among those in
close touch with the situation that the
deity was given in order to allow
those interested in retaining the pro-
ject to arrive at some basis Of action.
Provided some method is devised
} which seems practicable to the com.
mittee it is believed the recommended
ton of the government will favor the
operation of, the local plant next sea
son. 49,.
From statements made before the
committee the members have practi-
caA!y arrived at the conclusion that
the irrigation project here can be
operated at a water cost to the water
users of not to exceed $50 an acre,
and it is the desire OF the committee
to bring the cost as much under that
amount as possible.
Two Factors.
Two factors will male it possible
or impossible to bring the cost to that
level. The first factor which is at
tracing attention is that Of the city
contract. The reclamation service be-
lieves that with the minimum load
increased SO that the minimum sum
to be received from the city will be
$2,175 instead of the $l.GO it will be
practicable to operate the plant for
a minimum Of 5000, acres under irri-

SAYS VILLA MURDERED
AN AMERICAN AVIATOR
Mattery. McGuire's Flying Partner,
Back, Says Story of Fall
Is Untrue.

NEW YORK, August 13.-William A.
Mattery. formerly an aviator in Villa
army in Mexico, has come to New York
with story of the murder of his part
ner. Michael Mcclure, who, it was re-
ported, had been killed in fall. Mat
terry and Mcclure had been promised
$500 a week, but apparently failed to
receive any after being paid $1,000
each on being engaged in New Or
leans. Mattery says:
Mickey and were separated.
didn't know where he was going, but
we had talk just before he left and
agreed that we were not getting a
square deal Since the first payment
made to US in New Orleans, neither
had received his salary. About the last
thing he told me was: If l don't get
my dough I'm going to quit
1T must have been a couple of weeks
alter-maybe more-when / heard of
him again. News was brought into the
camp that he had been killed in fall
ticulars, and demanded to be taken
where i could attend the funeral and
see the body. After half day of beg
ging 1 was taken in an automobile to
the place.
Mcclure Shot to Death.
''One look at Mickey told the story.
times, in the face, neck, shoulders and
back. Most of the bullets had appar-
entity come from the rear or side. Not
= bone in his body was broken. a.
One day / was tinkering with my
plane when some photographs 1 had
picked up fell out. They just grabbed
me and wouldn't listen to any explana-
tions. -
One day before 1 was to be shot,
fall was sent out by Villa and found
it's way to the papers in the States.
That part you know about. My mech
anician. Jimmy Smith. got busy. He
until he was dead to the world. Then
watching his chance, he slammed the
other with one of his big lumberjack
boots. Then he let me out and we took
the guns away from the guards and put
them clean out of business with the
butts. / don't know whether we killed
them or not, and don't care, but we
escaped"
Saw $50 Prisoners Killed.
What most amazed Mattery in his
Mexican experiences was the stolidity
shown by Villa when $50 prisoners
were being butchered not many yards
from where he sat. Mattery says:
It's too horrible to talk about. They
slaughtered them like pigs. The last
batch practically died standing up,
owing to the great pile of dead bodies
which they had to climb over before
getting theirs.
But the amazing part of the pro-
ceeding and the part that made the
chills go up my back was the attitude
