CASH READY FOR
FAIR PRF'21UMS
All Winners Will Be Paid by e.
As Soon As Secretary's Work
Is Completed.

Fred Weigel, secretary of the fair
association, announces that on his re-
turn from the state fair in a few
days, he will at once mail checks to all
winners of premiums at the county
fair.
The total amount of the premiums
has been paid to him by the county
commissioners, and is deposited in
bank in his name, to be paid by him
to prize winners. The only reason
that it has not been done, is on ac-
count Of the time necessary for the
clerical work of drawing the necessary
checks. AS stated this will be done
as soon as his other engagements per-
nit.
Heretofore it has been necessary
for winners to file claims with the
county, and the bill allowed by the
commissioners, all Of which has been
eliminated this year. The winner is
not required to do anything, but will
receive check payable in cash at his
bank as soon as the clerical work is
done by the secretary.

served to ourselves and our children until the
end of time?
This is the question that is presented to
the citizen of the Milk River valley.
You may either appear and protect your
rights or allow them to go by default, and be
swept away by the force of numbers of the
Canadian contingent.
There is general movement up and
down the valley to have each part of it rep
resented at the meeting, and President Acker-
man of the Chamber of Commerce will name
large and strong delegation of Glasgow
business men to represent the interests of the
city. In addition to this it is urged that every
settler on the project should be present.
There was never time, in the long and
disappointing history of the development Of
the valley, when a more important meeting
has been held. Make every effort to be pres
ent. The value of your land your right to
existence is at stake.
Take heart and do your share. A change
OF the affairs G the project is imminent.
1t is the greatest irrigated district in the
world, and let us each do our share to settle
it up with more of the best people in the
world, and to this end. secure for the project
all of the water which nature gives to it.
Be at Chinook on the 18th.

men TO
COME TOMORROW
Arrangements Completed for Sessions
in Old Chamber Commerce Rooms
Many Will Attend.

Mrs. Berry of the Red Cross, who
is taking charge of preliminaries, re-
ports all arrangements completed for
the functioning of the Vocational ex-
animation squad which will arrive here
tomorrow
In addition to Mrs. Berry the local
board having the management of the
meeting, are Mrs. Ruth Deveny Jo.
Sternhagen, A. B. Freidlund, Oscar
Hovind and Fred Ammundson. The
meetings will be in the Rundell build
ing in the rooms formely occupied by
the Chamber of Commerce.
Saturday and Sunday will be de-
voted to the consideration of Valley
county cases, others will be heard at
the regular advertised session, which
commences Monday.
Mrs. Berry says that every appli-
cant must hear in mind that he must
bring all of his service papers with
him. This is important and impera-
tive, as nothing can be done in any
case without the documents showing
his service and discharge.
The reports to date indicate that
the gathering will be as large as the
one held last spring at which about
one hundred and fifty cases were dis
posed of.

PROJECT units
NOW I60 ACRES
After Years of Effort by Water
Users Enlarged Unit is Granted
by Authorities.

The following letter from Geo. E.
Stratton, project manager, speaks for
itself. The unit established by the
document is what the water users have
been contending for, many years and
marks distinct victory for them,
over those who continue to contend
that the unit in this stock raising
country should be smaller than the one
now fixed.
"Under date of September 1, 1921,
Assistant Secretary E. c. Finney re-
called and vacated Departmental Or
ders Of March IL, 1910, also March
A mad II, 1914, and the Resolution OF
the Reclamation Commission dated
March 9, 1916, approved by the De-
partment May 1S, 1916 and in lieu OF
these Orders fixed the farm unit on
the entire Milk River project at 16O
acres of irrigable land"
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1921-09-09

He appreciated the condition, which
demanded that the valley be settled,
and was anxious to find the cause for
the projects failure. Among the fac
tors which he thought limited set
tlement, was the holding of land by
spectators. He spoke of having re-
ceived a visit from DR.. Newall, and
said that he had assured him of the
states assistance whenever the time
was ripe. He stressed the fact that
the right kind of men must be
brought in and settled on the project
not anyone, but irigators, who would
make home, and intesively farm
small tracts. He said the state would
give its aid to getting the right kind
of settlers. Before the meeting ad-
journed Mr.. Davis received additional
information regarding the matter of
speculation which he referred to. and
his speech was very pleasing, and we'll
received.
Louis Newman, former mayor of
Great Falls, was the next speaker.
He talked from the viewpoint of a
land owner and realized that some
thing should be done to encourage
settlement. The question with him
was, "What should be done?" He
called on Mr.. Leedy to define the po-
sition of the Great Northern rail
road in the matter.
Mr.. Leedy at this time and in two
or more short subsequent talks, made
his position very plain, showing {
business mans appreciation of the
situation. He said that he was i'm
pressed by the limitations of the sit
uation; that his road can usually get
people for any locality which they
advertise; that in this case they could
