That the formation of the Milk River
Valley Cooperative association at
Malta last Tuesday, was the limit of
all that could be done at this time to
promote the settlement of the pro-
ject, was the concensus of opinion of
delegates, after the meeting adjourn
ed. The objection voiced by Mr..
Leedy of the Great Northern, that
nothing could be done at this time in
the way Of selling land on the pro-
ject, or for it's colonization, for the
reason that the cost of the project
could not be determined, or an un-
clouded title passed purchasers, was
the insurmountable obstacle, in the
way of bringing in settlers, that COM
pletely blockaded any other action.
Some delegates felt that the meet
ing was worth while, because it would
bring about first hand knowledge by
the Secretary of the Interior Of con-
ditions, and would cause agitation Of
the subject. Others felt that the meet
ing was flat failure, and only called
for the purpose of allowing reclama-
tion officers to start movement for
the ABSORPTION of the project by irri-
cation districts. Nothing can be
done until the project is finished" is
the opinion of one prominent Glasgow
man, who says little on the subject,
but whose opinion is valuable. "How-
ever, guess the idea of speculation
by large land owners, was exploded
at the meeting, when it appeared that
at present one could neither sell OF
buy the land, because of the condi.
tion of the titles" he concluded
About $50 of the most prominent
men in the valley, representing nearly
all of the towns were present, as were
also, Mr.. Stratton, project manager
DR.. Newall, consulting engineer of the
project, Chester C. Davis, Montana
Commissioner of Agriculture, C. C.
Wright, representing the Department
of Agriculture, and Mesrs. Leedy ano
Greenfield, representing the Great
Northern railroad company. There
were also a good representation from
both daily and weekly papers of the
state.
J. L. Kilduff, of Malta, was made
chairman of the meeting and T. J
Larson, secretary of the Malta Com
mercial club, secretary.
DR.. Newall was the first speaker
called upon by the chairman, ane
speaking first of the coming meeting
of the boundary commission at Chin
ook, he said in substance, that it wa:
important that all parts of the vale!
should be we'll and largely represented

that the view point of the settlers
was very necessary, that the members
of the commission might understand
the subject of the division of waters.
He urged large and strong delega-
tions to the hearing from all parts of
the project and valley.
Recent Investigations by the speak
er, in other projects and in Canada
led him to be convinced that this pro-
ject was not too far north for sue
cessful irrigation; that there is no
doubt that the project will be a sue
cess as soon as settled. Business
conditions were worse here than else
where, and country and towns were
going back because the project was
not settled up. It was necessary to
make conditions different, to bring
in settlers and develop the valley; that
the first step would be, to feel con-
vinced ourselves of the worth of the
valley before we attempted to sell
it; confidence in is future should be
cultivated. In fact the valley offered
the best opportunities in the world,
it had the best irrigation system in
the world, at the same time the most
expensive and hardest to maintain.
The problem presented now was diff
ferent one from that presented in
other parts Of the U. S.. the human
problem was the one which it was
now necessary t. solve. The speaker
outlined plan for colonization, by
which all land owners be required to
sign up options at a low price, after
which the railroad people would bring
in settlers. He admitted that par
alyzing hand of the government, and
attempted to bring the project under
the same class as the railroads, that
would be better off without govern
mental interference, and at this time
and often afterwards during the meet
ing, he advocated the release of the
government from further response
bility, by the formation of an irri.
cation district, which should purchase
the project as it stood from the gov
ernment, and finish it as desired. He
elaborated this point by saying that
no additional government appropria-
tions could be obtained from congress
at this time as economy was the watch
word at Washington, and that under
the budget system it would be very
difficult. He stated that the project
would hereafter be administered un.
der the budget system. He advocat.
ed the further development of the
project by the use of the soil and by
the people Of the valley themselves
without involving the government.
Commissioner Davis, when called
upon said that he was present fo1
purposes of observation and to learr
facts regarding the Milk River valley

CANADA WANTSTOO MUCH water

The demand for full attendance by set
tiers and business men to the meeting at
Chinook on the 18th, next Thursday, is most
imperative. There has never been a time
when it was more important to protect Amer
lean rights in vital business matter, in
controversy with another country than now.
The giving to Canada, under a loosely
drawn treaty, the right to use the Waters of
the Milk River, is not only measure that
should be closely guarded as a matter of na
tiOnal pride, and as an element of the policy
of conservation, but is something which hits
the settler on the project and the business
man of the valley, in his home. Our natural
rights to the water should be cherished and
protected as sacredly, as our rights to the
land.
1t was openly stated at the Malta meet
ing by men who had just been in Canada that
at least 1000 Canadian farmers will be pres
ent at the meeting of the Joint Boundary
commission, and urge their demand to one
half Of the water Of the river based on meas
urements TO BE TAKEN AT THE MOUTH
OF THE MILK RIVER.
Will the American citizens of Milk River
valley stand for this? Shall we trust, as for
merly to inefficient representation. and see
our vital rig{hs-Our property bartered
away-or shall we appear in person, in such
numbers as to demand recognition, and pro-
tect those rights and see that they are pre-

STUDY COURSES
Are OUTLINED
Supt. Williams Pleased With Out
=, look for School Year Which
Opens Monday.

Superintendent Williams when
speaking of the coming school year
which opens next Monday says he is
delighted with prospects. There are
numerous inquiries about the study
courses, and he has prepared for the
Courier the following outline, which
will be valuable to both students and
parents.
In order that students and parents
may know what courses are open for
selection the possible subjects for the
various grades are presented: In the
freshman year English and algebra
are required of all students. Fresh
man students then have a choice of
two extra subjects from the following:
latin, general science, commercial
arithmetic, woodworking, sewing.
There will be conflict on the pro-
gram between commercial arithmetic
and general science so students elect
ing one cannot elect the other. Gener-
al science and sewing are preparatory
courses in the Teacher training course
so both subjects should be taken by all
students planning to take these
courses in their junior and senior
years.
In the second year three subjects
are required this year, English, mod
ern history, geometry. The electives
are, second year latin, mechanical
drawing, bookkeeping, cooking.
In the Third year three subjects are
required, English, civics, physics. The
electives are the Normal training sub
jects of reviews and school manage
ment, and the commercial subjects,
typewriting and stenography. If either
Of these two groups of subjects is
taken the other must be taken.
In the fourth year, English is the
only subject required. The electives
are chemistry typewriting and short
hand, advanced algebra and solid
geometry, PHYSIOLOGY, methods and
primary plans for Teacher training
students.
More subjects are required in the
course this year than in former years.
Geometry credit will be required of
all students graduating hereafter ex-
cepting the Teacher training students.
A credit in either physics or chemis-
try will also be required. The State
department requires a credit in civics
of all students. Not more than two
credits in manual arts or in Home
Economics will be credited toward
graduation of any student. The re-
suit of making more subjects re-
uuired will tend to make high school
graduation much more difficult and
will require the very best effort of stu
dents every day of the year. The at
tention of the parents is called to this
condition before the opening of school
so they may make plans to see that
the students devote the required time
for making satisfactory record. A
statement of the probable amount OF
time required will be presented later
in order that parents may judge fol
themselves whether the students are
doing what is expected

GOOD CROP SHOWING
RETURNS AROUND SCOBEY

While the threshing in this county
is yet young, every day sees many
loads of grain enter this city and un-
load. There is no doubt but Scobey
is in line to handle million bushels
of grain this year as the crops are
yielding good and the Seobey territory
embraces large scope. While there
are many selling their grain at the
home elevators, there are also many
shipping their own grain.
The four elevators that are now
running are kept busy and will in a
short time the fifth one will be ready
to receive grain.
Some fields where the rust hit the
grain has fell considerably below ex-
pectations, but most of it holding Q
and some really going beyond the
peaations.-Daniels Co. News.
