canal from the diversion dam at Sun
River to Great Falls. As soon as this
has been fixed and the exact amount
Of irrigable land in the district deter
mined, a petition will be drawn up by
Mr.. Hoover for circulation among the
landowners of the district after which
the petition will be filed in the district
court here for hearing. This hear
Ing can probably be obtained in about
six months
Must File Bond.
A bond to defray the court fee and
expenses of the hearing must be filed
with the court at the time of filing
the petition.
The petition must contain all the
names OF the resident landowners and
the addresses of the non resident land
owners.
According to the explanation of the
irrigation district laws by Mr.. Hoover,
the property of landowner within the
irrigation district is subject to the lien
of the government and can be taken by
the government if the property owner
fails to pay his assessment for water
rights. Only the irrigable land owned
by the man, is taxable for water, how
ever.
2O-Year Assessment.
The assessment for water rights is
levied for 20year period and anyone
wishing more water than first signed
for will have to buy the right from the
district commissioners who will be
appointed by the court after the form
alton of the district is organized. These
commissioners will thereafter be elect
ed yearly by the property owners in
the district.
No person can perfect water rights
to more than 160 acres, according to
the reclamation act, but relatives of
a landowner who are of legal age may
take out the additional waters rights
necessary to the development Of the
if there are more than 100
acres of irrigable land.

COUNTY
TO help LIGHT
lST.AVE. BRIDGE
City Council Votes to Ask Com.
missioners to Defray Half
Increased Expense.

Demand that Cascade county nav
$15 monthly towards the lighting of
the First avenue north Missouri river
bridge will be made by the city council
The amount is one-half the increase
| over the cost of lighting the old
bridge and at the council session We'd
nesday night it was held that since the
county adopted the lighting system on
the new structure it should share the
enlarged expense.
Action taken by the council was on
recommendation of Alderman r r
Johnson Of the public improvement
committee. who stated that the cost Of
maintaining the three are lights on
the old bridge was $50 per month, while
the expense Of maintaining lights on
the new bridge under the arrangement
made by the county will be $44.4O The
lighting system on the new bridge calls
for go lights Of 100 candle power each
which is system considered necessary
to the advantageous illumination Of the
structure. City Clerk W. H. Harrison
was instructed to notify the county
commissioners of the councils action.
Says Bridge in Poor Shape.
Mention of the First avenue bridge
brought from r. J. McDermand, a
third house member whose protests
relative to public improvements have
been frequently received by the coun-
ell, an objection to the city's concur
renee in the county's acceptance of the
bridge. The deck. he stated, is in bad
condition and repairs will be necessary
within 4 short time. Mr.. McDermand
also objected to the conditions of the
contract under which timbers from the
old bridge were given to the contract
ors. Plank on the deck had been re-
placed at a cost to the city Of approx
mately $1,000 a short time before CON
struction on the new bridge was begun.
Mr.. McDermand said and he objected
to the material being disposed of by the
county.
The council rejected without debate
the claim Of the Sherwood Co. for
$411.22 alleged damages. which the
company asks because Of circumstances
affecting its contract for installing
water services in the Second avenue
north paving district. The company
takes the position that the council VIC
lated the contract in permitting certain
property owners to install their own
services Richard Sherwood, manager
Of the company, was present, but made
no comment in support of his claim.
The bill of r. Josephs. calling for
S14.10 as remuneration for damage
done to his automobile by a broken
