VICTORIOUS
IN TWO GAMES

Thursday evening ON the local
grounds Bottineau beat Willow City
for the 9th time straight this summer
by q score Of z to 3. Willow City ex-
pected to win this game and had se-
cured a Mr.. Jenson from Munich to
pitch and although he has record
Of not losing a game this summer,
Bottineau secured Z runs off his de-
livery i'm three innings and Jenson
was relieved on the mound by Han
cock, who pitched good ball the re-
mainder of the game. Robinson was
on the mound for Bottineau but did
not have to extend himself to win over
Willow. ~ # MA: :. 3, s.. 81.

Saturday and in double header
broke even with the Canadian team,
losing the first game Z to 2 and win
ming the evening game to Z. Besse
was on the mound for Bottineau the
first game but ragged ball and lucky
hitting by Brandon gave them the vic
tory although Bottineau secured more
hits than their opponents. S%G%> -
Robinson pitched the second game
and it looked like a s. to 8 victory for
Bottneau but Brandon got to Rob-
inson's offerings until the score stood
8 to 6 with no one out and two men
on bases in the last of the ninth
when Woods relieved Robinson and
one, more run crossed the plate for
Brandon on q fielders choice. The next
ball was hit to Woods and a double

The Bottineau boys annexed thir-,
teen hits in the last game and IL in
the first but both games seemed loose
ly played by Bottineau and this
coupled with the fact that practically
every ball Brandon hit netted them
something, made the Bottneau team
exert themselves to win: Following is

IRRIGATION OF MOUSE RIVER

During the spring and summer there
has been great deal of talk through
out Bottirleau County in regard to
damming the Mouse, that is putting
in flood gates so that land tributary
to the river could be flooded whenever
it is wished and thus insure those
farmers who now suffer from the eff
,faets of dredging done years ageywsf
crop. This could be done with veis5
little expense and the state engineers
department at Bismarck has made a
thorough survey and report that the
matter of putting in flood gates would
not be anywhere the expense it was
to dredge the Mouse River. It is a
known fact that money received in
North Dakota and every other state
in the union, in fact, from the sale Of
state lands, was reserved by Con-
gress to be used for irrigation pur-
poses where Congress so decided. Of
the amount in the hands Of Congress
at the present time it is estimated
North Dakota has furnished S10,000,-
900 and with the proper organization
at home, in conjunction with the
North Dakota Irrigation Congress,
legislation by the state law, makers
along irrigation lines is possible and
is also probable as the outcome of
the combined efforts of the Bottineau-
McHenry county unit and the State
Congress, this could be accomplished
with some help from the national
government. Surveys have been made
not only by the state engineers de-
partment but also by the Federal gov
ernment and the Mouse River project
in McHenry and Bottineau counties
has been pronounced as being one Of
the easiest in the Northwest to de-
velop. a....
An organization should be started
in Bottineau county and officers or
members of the organization sent to
Bismarck this winter and with the
help of the N. d. body next summer
should see the building of flood gates
on the Mouse River in Bottineau and
McHenry counties. From time to time
The Courant will deal with figures
and also articles furnished by the Uni
versity and by the state engineers de-
partment on irrigation projects along
the Missouri river near Williston,
where gates are now successfully OPP
Grated. i y. SS9.s...

provisions Of the bill to secure dairy
cattle. The men leading in the move
ment are John Bfugerrie, a farmer
living just outside of Williston; Frank
Hoare, county auditor, and Earl
Swinlley county treasurer, while some
of the bankers are also showing an
interest in the operation of the bill.

the senate by A. A. Leiderbach, au-
thorizes the issue of bonds to raise
money if fifty farmers petition for the
same and the board approves, follow
ing which the commissioner of agri-
culture and labor is named as the
agent of the county in selling the
bonds. The money raised shall be
used in the purchase of dairy cattle
not more than. $1,000 worth going te
| any one man.
Further sections of the bill provide
for the formation of a dairy assacia.
ton and the payment of the money
back to the county is arranged for il
