PLAN PRESENTED
PLANS ARE UNDER WAY FOR lR.
RIGATiON SYSTEM FOR
MANY STATES
Proposition Calls for lrrigatino Of
10000 Additional Acres In Inn
periaI Valley and Large
Highland Tract

W1ShlngtOn-A comprehensive pan
for irrigating 100000 acres more of
lands in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia and more than 100000 acres Of
high lands in the region of the juno.
ture of California, Arizona and Ne
vada has been presented to congress
for action by the department of the
interior. 1t was framed by A. P. Davis,
chief reclamation engineer.
The project calls for a "high line
canal" between Laguna dam on the
lower Colorado river to the Imperial
valley, to reach the huge acreage of
arid lands there. This will cost about
$3yO0O,OOO it is estimated.
The second big feature of the pro.
ject is the construction of huge reser-
voir and power plant at or near Boul-
der canyon, at an estimated cost of
$55, 100000. This would conserve the
water, prevent floods and develop 7OO,-
600 primary horsepower. which would
be sold In the surrounding territory.
All Of the report is said to meet with
the general approval of the seven states
interested in the developmnt of the
Colorado river, with the exception of a
recommendation that the secretary of
interior be given the power to fix rates
at the Boulder canyon dam. The Davis
report declares problems of the Colo.
RADIO river are of national magnitude.
The recommendation of Davis,
which have been approved by Secre.
tary of Commerce Hoover, chairman
Of the Colorado river commission and
the department Of interior, are:
/. That through suitable legislation
the United States undertake the con.
structiOn with government funds of n
high line canal from Laguna dam to
the Imperial valley, to be reimbursed
by the lands benefited.
2. That the public lands that can ba
reclaimed by such works be reserved
for settlement by ex.service men under
conditions securing actual settlement
and cultivation.
8. That through suitable legislation
the United States undertake the con.
struction with government funds Of q
reservoir at or near Boulder canyon on
the lower Colorado river to be REIN.
bursed by the revenuts from leasing
the power privileges incident thereto
4. That any state interested in tbis
deveiopmtnt shall have the right at
It's election to contribute an eGuita;,,e
part of the cost OF the construction nt
the reservoir and receive for its contri.
button proportionate share of nowe,

McCABE PARTIES STAGE
FIGHT THEN PAY FINE

Froid Tribune: A pugilistic encoun-
ter took place Monday evening in the
little town of McCabe, to the east of
us, which is said to have rivaled
those of the old days when the saloon
held full sway, the star performers in
this fstic drama being the well known
Harry Hoffman, formerly engaged in
the blacksmith business at that place,
and Hans Larsen, who last season
operated a garage there.
\ It is not known what the trouble
was all about, but Larsen had Hof-
man arrested for assault upon his
person with some blunt instrument
with intent to do bodily harm, and
Judging from the mark Larson car
ries over his eye Hoffman must have
delivered the goods. Hoffman was
taken into custody shortly after the
fracas and brought to Froid where he
apIeaerd before Justice Reiter and
gave bonds for his appearance at
later date. The county attorney was
spared trip here from Poplar by
reason of Hoffman appearing here
Wednesday pleading guilty to the
charge and paying substantial flne.

VIDE FIVE MILLIONS FOR

FEEDING LOANS.

Washington; Feb. 21.-A bill by
Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota providing $4,000 900

It is designed principally to aid farm
ers of North Dakota and Montana
ard drouth stricken regions.
Take Crop Mortgages
Of the $5,O00,000 fund, s1,0OO,0OO
would be available for loans for live
stock feeding and the balance for seed
grain. Seed loans would be limited
to $500 to each applicant and based
on chattel mortgages on crops. =.
Senators McCumber and Ladd, Re
publicans, North Dakota, and Walsh,
Democrat, Montana, appeared today
before the committee to urge the re-
lief fund appropriation. They de-
scribed the situation in southwestern
North Dakota and eastern Montana
"as desperate"
Five successive years of crop fail
ures, they said, had rendered thous-
ands of farmers destitute Senator
McCumbe.,, said many were "just as
bad off as the people of Russia, and
that if government relief was not
given, entire counties would be de-
populated"

And
OUR WEATHER
By Prof. G. r. Petite

All storm and storm conditions for
February arrived on time as predict
ed, and within few hours of the
central day, and the prediction that
most of the precipitation would fall
in the last half of the month will be
verified, as we'll as the prediction
early in the fall, that we would ex-
perience some real winter weather
this winter, and that the warm
weather experienced in February,
1921, would not come before March
this year.
The storm periods for March are
Central the 4th, 9Th, 18th, 21st and
9th. We look for all storm condi-
tions to naterialize early |, with wind
in east, and change sharply to north
west as storm conditions move east
ward.
We look for most of the precipita-
tion for March to fall in the first half
of the month.
March is the month of the vernal
equinox, when we may look for some
unsual storms, and believe this year
will prove no exception, but look for
nothing unusual, just March weather.
Next week we shall publish the To-
cal Interpretation of the Hicks Altman
&C.

lures:
Culbertson, March 1st, 800 P. M.
Wolf Point, March End, 8 P. M.

CLAMOR FOR AN EARLIER
TRIAL.

Helena, Feb. 18.-For the beginning
OF the suit of accounting filed by the
state against Frank Conlev, former
warden of the penitentiary, March
q was set on Tuesday noon. The
tentative date for the beginning of
the hearing was fixed by Judge w.
ID. Poorman, department 1, district
court of Lewis and Clark county, and
was the result of conference attend
ed by Judge A. J. Horsky, department
z, district court of Lewis and Clark

rectlng the states case; Attorney T.
II. Macdonald of Kalispell, who con-
Quoted the investigation of the prison
affairs during Conley's regime and
who will assist the state, and Colonel
c. B. Nolan, chief counsel for Conley.
Judge Horsky, who is serving as a
member of the supreme court com
said he would transfer the
case to Judge Poorman's department.
Judge Poorman stated that he would
set the case for March 27.
Attorney General Rankin objected

Poorman's lengthy calendar would
delay the starting Of the case later
than this date Colonel Nolan said
that any date set by Judge Poorn1an
would suit him, although he. wanted
to get into court at the earliest pos
sible date.

clusion Of the conference, stated that
he would confer again with Colonel
Nolan for the purpose of determin-
ing whether or not the trial of the

The Producers News prints with
considerable pleasure the following
letter from Congressman Carl Rid

answer to a letter written by James
Ostby, urging him to support a bill
in congress to restore the grain cor
poration. Mr.. Riddick Vary adroitly
avoids making any promises in the
matter whatever under a garbage of
generalities. From a letter like the
one printed, the. farmers can get an
idea of the congressman's opinion of
the average farmers intelligence and
also a splendid guage of the calibre
of Mr.. Riddick.
Mr.. Ostby writes asking the sup
port Of the representative of Mon
1tana Of bill very vital to the farm

Chicago, Feb. 18.-The money

costs, Benjamin C. Marsh, managing
director of the Farmers National
Council, told members of that body
in session here today.
During the past three years." he
said, farmers have lost 500, 0,00O, ,000,-
900 through defiation in prices which
they received for their farm crops

cages and high freight rates. The
international investment bankers de-
fated prices in order that the loans
which these big financial interests
made to the government out Of their
scandalous war profits might be
doubling in value through the shrink

value when they loaned it to the
government.

turn for 1921, the average taxpayer
will find considerable saving in com
parison with the amount of tax paid

single persons ithe term including
widows, widowers, Divorces, and per-
sons separated from husband and wife
by mutual agreement), $4,000 for
married persons whose net income
was $4,000 or less, and $1,000 for
married persons whose net income
was $1,000 or more. Under the reve-
nue. act of 1918 the personal exemp-
ton allowed a married person was
$4,000, regardless of the amount of
