BOWDOIN DUCKS.

This week have with us Mr.. Alex
ander Wetmore, of Washington, ID.
c., sent here by some department or
other to investigate the "malady''
among the ducks at Bowdoin lake.
What did the Washington gentle
man find? Nothing at all. No dis
ease, no sick ducks and no indica-
tions that there ever was any sick
ducks. This backs up the statement
Of DR.. Richardson and the other
state officials who have been at the
lake. Game Warden E. G. Carruth
of Havre, was at the lake this week
and enjoyed as fine hunting as he
could wish. Daddy Minugh and his
Harlem friends when they were
there pronounced the ducks O. K.
and their only regret was that they
could not get enough of them. 1t
is actually disgusting the fuss that
has been stirred up over the Bow
doin ducks, but the limit was
reached this week when man was
sent here clear from Washington to
investigate.
Last Sunday was an ideal day for
hunting at the lake and many of
our local nimrods got a nice feen of
ducks and had plenty for their
friends, and we have yet to hear of
anyone suffering from eating them
unless it was from eating too much.

suites with bath. There are forty
two large and commodious rooms,
all but eight being outside rooms.

along up-to-date lines. The office

MONEY IN HOGS.

Ezra Ereaux, the prosperous
Wagner farmer, was Malta visitor
few hours Monday. Mr.. Ereaux
has one of the finest farms in that
section of the county and attributes
his success t 1.-THE careful manner in
which he farms. Stock raising has
always been hobby with Mr..
Ereaux and last year he marketed in
Great Falls car of choice hogs that
brought the top price the day they
were sold. This year he has 1853
fine porkers but does not think he
will sell many but will hold them
over until next year. This week he
turned the hogs into the alfalfa
field and that will give them plenty
of time to put on little additional
fat before the cold weather sets in
and he will have a few ready for
market about Christmas time that
will be hard to beat. Mr. Ereaux
believes there is big money in hogs
but they have to have lots of atten.
ton the same as anything else to
make success. When farmer is
so situated that he can raise all the
grain he wants to feed his stock
during the winter he can consider
half the battle won.

ADJUST WATER OF TWO RIVERS

Active steps looking to the adjust
ment of international water rights
along the Milk river and St. Mary's
river will be begun at Ottawa, Can
ada, this week, when the Internal
ional joint commission, consisting
of three American and three Can
adian commissioners, resume their
sittings and take testimony regard
ing these two rivers. The American
commissioners have appointed John
T. Whittier of Portland, Ore, for
mer engineer in the reclamation SER
vice, to represent them and Cooper
ate with an engineer to be appoint
ed by the Canadians in making an
exhaustive study to develop facts
upon which the commission can de-
termine just how much the flow of
these two streams can fairly be di-
verified or used in the United States
and how much in Canada. It is adj
mitted that determination of this
question will require much time. as
exhaustive field studies must be
made by the engineers, the render
ing an eminent jury decision, as
there is no appeal from it's judg-
ment. Not until the commission
renders it's decree will it be posi-
lively known how much water of
these two rivers can be utilized for
irrigation in Montana, and how
much is the property of the Cana
dians.
