Project Being Organized to Turn Water of Yellowstone River
 Over Montana Lands

LIVINGSTON. Mont, March 1S.- in order to retain. for purposes of lrriGating between 100000 and 3,00O.000 acres of land in South eastern Montana. water from Iel- lowstonc Lake which now finds its way, eventually to the Atlantic ocean by way of the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico Mon tana residents arc engaged i'll an effort to prevent it's diversion through the' Continental divide to the Pacific.
 An attempt to divert the waters of Yellowstone Lake to the Snake river. taking them through the di-
 yide which determines the flow on
 the great watershed in the Yellow
 stone National Park. was planned
 by Idaho interests after engineers
 had conceived daring project to
 tunnel the divide and carry the Tel
 iewgtone watGr from, its S.oOO-feet
 elevation into Shoshone lake for
 irrigation purposes, and then per-
 nit it to follow tho natural course
 through the Snake river and the Columbia to the Pacific, .
 Montana residents now are or ganizing a gigantic irrigation pro- ject which would place water or millions of acres in the 500-mile valley of the Yellowstone river and control the destructive spring floods of the area as well.
 ! Headquarters for the Montana projects have been established al this city. where the Yellowstone river comes out of the mountains and enters the great plain which would be irrigated by the stored water. Articles of incorporation have been filed and the directors have started campaign to raise $50,000 for preliminary work re, quired before the construction of 8 dam at the point where the Yellow stone river leaves the lake can bt undertaken.
 Besides constructing a dam at al expenditure of about $300,000, tt store million acre-fect of floot waters. the corporation plans t' apportion the water in the Yellow stone river, organize irrigation dis | tricts and construct canals whicf will irrigate between 100000 ant 3,000,000 acres of land in ten Mon tana counties.

PET CAT ATTACKS TEACHER
Feline Bites Woman Because One Of
Her Kittens Had Been
Taken Away.

New York.-Miss Maude E. Ross, q
school teacher, living at 312 Decatur
street, Brooklyn, is at home suffering
from wounds inflicted by a pet cat
which sprang at her without warning.
The cat escaped twice, and efforts
are being made to recapture it for ex-
animation by the board of health.
Miss Ross was in her home when the
cat, large one of the tiger variety,
entered. 1t had been household pet
for a number of years. Ten weeks
ago it gave birth to two kittens, one
of which was taken away from it a
week ago. Miss Ross was about to
greet tabby when it suddenly sprang
at her.
Miss Ross Screamed, but the cat
continued it's attacks and sank it's
teeth into her right leg.

ERA OF PROSPERITY
IN ENGLISH RACING
Immense Crowds Have Attended
All of Big Events
Increase of Rich Stakes and Purses
Shows Sport Is FIourishin1 at
Newmarket-Other Clubs Elk
pected to Follow.

Evidently horse racing in England
is enjoying the same era of prosperity
that is visiting the sport in this coun-
try. Advices from the other side indi-
cate that immense crowds have at
tended all of the big events held there
thus far, and further attestation of
the sport there has just been received
in the announcement that at the recent
annual meeting of the Jockey club it
was decided that in future $4,000 will
be added to the $4,000 stakes
and $4,000 to the $4,000. The condi-
tons of other races at Newmarket are
being changed with a view to making
stake increases fairly general.
This action by the Jockey club is
regarded in England as being but the
forerunner of general and material
increase in the values of practically
all of the principal stake events. 1t is
confidently expected that EPSON and
Doncaster will follow Newmarket's
lead and that Epson will increase the
value of the Derby and Oaks and that
Doncaster will do likewise in the case
of the st. Leger.
In commenting on the situation the
Daily Telegraph of London printed the
following in recent issue.
"The example of the Jockey club is
there for all others to read and learn.
1t means everything. One has so much
respect for what the Jockey club may
do by way of example as to be quite
sure others will follow as matter
of course, either through the dictates
of courtesy and respect or of policy.
In this case policy may mean the other
thing"
