WILL BRING SEGAR
TO FALLS BASTILE.
Neihart Man in Tolls Again;
First Jail Record Here
in 1911.

Gus Segar, of Neihart, is under ar
rest in the mining town on charge
of threatening to kill his wife, ac-
cording to information received at the
sheriff's office Saturday night from
Deputy Sheriff Ed Donovan. Segar
is also alleged to have told his friends
that he would shoot anyone who at
tempted to place him under arrest.
Donovan told Sheriff Bob Gordon
that Segar had been drinking heavily
before he made the alleged attack on
his wife When Deputy Sheriff Dono-
van went to make the arrest. Segar
lost his belligerent attitude and con
sented to be locked up until Monday,
wlen he will be brought to Great
Falls.
Perhaps no man in Cascade county
has had his name placed on the county
Jail register as many times as has
Segar. His first arrest occurred On
the day after Christmas, in 1911:
when he was held on charge OF
attempt to kill. He served three
months. Other charges placed against
the man were non support Of minor
child, disturbance of the peace, al
legged possession Of still and malici-
Gus mischief The latter charge Was
dismissed on the condition that Scgar
stay away from Neihart and his wife.

MORE TERRITORY PETITIONS
INTOPROPOSED new COUNTY
Fort Shaw, Sinms and Sun River Seek Inclusion;
Proponents Claim Value Now Enough
Without Lewis and Clark End.

Of compactness and that not one Of
the boundaries will pass within ID
miles of the courthouses in Cascade
and Lewis and Clark counties, from
which the territory Of Dear arborn coun-
ty is to be taken if created.
Aside from the towns of Fort Shaw,
Simms and Sun River, the proposed
addition will bring the towns Of Cor
don, Dracut and Ashuelot into the
proposed county Of Dearborn. i map
of the territory also reveals that 81
miles of Great Northern and Milwau-
kee railway trackage and II miles OF
the Sun River Valley power line will
be taken from Cascade county it the
petitions are granted.
Claim Makes County Certainty
Proponents of Dearborn county
make the claim that the addition of
the Fort Shaw and Simms territory
virtually assures the creation of the
county from the standpoint Of valua-
ton even though the portion to be
taken from Lewis and Clark county
should be withdrawn. It is asserted
that the petitioning district has a val
uation in excess of $50O.Ooo, winch,
when added to the valuation OF the
original Cascade county portion, will
give q total assessed valuation of more
than Sl.O0O.GO0. the amount required
by law. The valuation of the terri
tory proposed to be taken from Cas-
cade county is S3.4S2 ,297. according to
County Assessor Harold Mady.
Think 1t Not Enough
A number of county officials Satur-
day were inclined to doubt the state
ment that adequate valuation would be
had despite the elimination of the
Lewis and Clark county territory. 1t
was estimated that the Fort Shaw and
Simms district would add valuation
Of less than S5OOOOO, which if true,
would throw the proposed new county
out for lack of the necessary valua-
ton, provided the Lewis and Clark
county portion is lost.
Great Falls tribune., 1921-12-25

Petitions for inclusion in the pro-
posed new county Of Dearborn, signed
by 237 residents and taxpayers of the
territory surrounding the towns of
Fort Shaw. Sun River and Simms,
were filed in the office Of County
Clerk John e. Moran Saturday. The
petitions ask for the annexation of
territory now included within the con-
fines of the proposed new county. 1t
is estimated that the area has an ap
proximate assessed valuation of more
than 100000 and the petitions arc
said to be signed by more than so per
cent of the qualfied voters.
The Description
Starting at the northwest corner of
township 81. north Of range , west,
the boundary Of the petitioned district
bears directly east for a distance of
IL miles. thence north two miles.
thence east three miles to the north
east corner of section %. township

four miles, thence west one mile,
thence south nine miles to the south

thence west 16 miles to the southwest
corner of section %, township 20

three miles to Sun river. thence along
the river channel to its intersection
with the range line between ranges
two and three west. for distance of
three miles. and thence north along
the range line for 71a miles to the
point of beginning.
New Territory Compact
The signers state that the granting
Of the petitions will not reduce the as
sessed valuation of Cascade county to
less than $S,00O000 and also that it
will not reduce the area of the county
to less than 1900 square miles. The
trict proposed for annexation is one

cash wheat and the options on all mar
kets. Some elevator operators are too
prone to take chance on the market,
thinking values may hold firm or de-
cline, and therefore ship out stored
wheat and buy hedges against it. The
elevator operators who have followed
this policy have in many cases met with
disaster. Safety first is the only policy
to pursue and that course lies in keep
ing in the elevator enough grain to
cover storage tickets issued. There is
no chance for big profit. The sue
cessfu1 grain business is built up on
small profits consistently taken and
leaving no room for speculation. Hold
the wheat to cover storage tickets is
sued and there will be no cause to
worry about the fluctuations of premi-
umS.
Insurance
"The insurance companies claim that
more elevator fires occur in the slack
business periods than when business
is brisk. Are you keeping your ele-
yators clean inside and the premises
clean outside? Has it occurred to you
that the replacement cost of your ele-
yator is 35 or 40 per cent less than
when material and labor were at the
high peak some two years ago? Are
YOU still carrying insurance at the high
valuation? Better look into this as
your insurance may only cover present
day cash value and premiums paid on
anything over that value is money
thrown away"
Great Falls tribune., 1921-12-25
THE GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE
GREAT INFLUX
OF SETTLERS
IS EXPECTED
Milk River Irrigation Project
Given Big Impetus in Recent
Months, Says DOdson Man.

Souaring away of matters affecting
,anJ within the Milk river irrigation
nroiecr during the last few months has
giysn rhc territory both within and ad-
iacent to the district the brightest out
look that it has ever had, according TO
u. Y. Dutro of Dodson, who is in Great
Falls. Prospects for the. coming year
are that virtually all of the unoccuPled
land within the project will be peopied;;
and that many settlers will be secured
for the unirrigated lands Whlcn lay
along side, .h;nas h.uo con+ribut-
Cd ia the present satisfactory situation
on the Milk river project said Mr.
Dutro at Hotel Rainbow. Among the
most important was the establishing
Of 16O acres as the unit within the DIS
trict. Until this winter unit was
never fixed for the district, but within
the last 60 days the reclamation serv-
ice has corrected this fault.
Must Reduce Holdings
"People who are holding more than
100 acres Of unpatented land will re-
duce their holdings to 160 acres by
selling the surplus. A designated pc
riod will be fixed for the sale Of the
extra acreage, and if the land is not
then disposed Of it will be appraised
and sold under an established plan
the owner always receiving the pro-
ceeds of the sale. of course.
Another cause for encouragement
is found in the fact that early in 1922
the government will have determined
the cost Of watering the land. Here
tofore, it has been difficult to interest
settlers who could not learn what their
water would cost, but the announce
ment has been made that the estimates
will be completed very soon. r. Z
Leedy, immigration agent for the Great
Northern railway, said in an address
recently that his road would not ask
settlers to interest themselves in land
where the water charges had not been
fixed, but that when the defect was
overcome his company could and would
bring settlers.
Expect Many Settler
''The activity of the Great Northern
in the matter of securing settlers is
another of the features which is oper
ating to give the project 4 bright out
look for the future. We are confident
that nearly all of the land within the
project will be settled upon next year
and it is probably that a large portion
of the colonists will be interested
through the railroads efforts.
The Northern Montana Develop
ment association is another agency
through which the project will be ma
terially benefited. The association is
receiving thousands Of inquiries from
prospective settlers. About 100000
acres can be watered on the project
but it is probable that colonizing will
not end with the irrigated land. Many
farmers are dry farming very success
fully and it would be but a natural
consequence i if many people took this
style of agriculture instead Of irriga-
tion"
