IRRIGATION and DRAINAGE PROBLEMS
GO together YSENGINEER MURDOCH
College Expert Says That Properly Operating Pumping System
Would Reduce Surface Evaporation and Other Losses To Point
Where It Would Be Possible To Irrigate From $4,000 to 10000
Additional Acres-LivestOck Growers Break the Prices.

What to do with the run-off water
on irrigation projects and how to
handle the land below the irrigated
area which becomes waterlogged with
seepage water, is one of the big prob
lens of irrigation. Nat all irriga-
ton projects are confronted with this
problem because in some cases natural
soil and Typographical conditions solve
the problem Of their own accord. In
many cases, however, especially where
irrigation has been practiced for sew
eral years. seepage and run-Off wa
ter becomes a serious matter.
Thus it happens that irrigation and
drainage naturally go together; two
things which in the popular mind
are often considered as being direct
~Opposites. The lack of water makes
irrigation necessary and irrigation
makes drainage necessary to take care
of surplus water.
H. f. Murdock, agricultural engi-
neer at Montana State college, has
long recognized the i~nadequacy of the
ordinary ditch for drainage purposes
because Of the fact that the water
table in the soil can be lowered only
as far as the bottom Of the ditch.
This in many cases still leaves the
water too close to the surface and does
not solve the alkali problem which is
often a serious menace to production
on such land.
In view of this condition. Mr.. Muir
dock recently made a thorough study
of drainage through the use of wells
and pumping plants and in a recent
report on this subject points out that
this may be the solution to the seep-
age water problem in many cases.
Tests carried on by Mr.. Murdoch in
the Gallatin valley in a seepage area
below Belgrade and Central Park
shows that there is sufficient run-off
water there under normal conditions
to irrigate an additional 10000 acres.
With a properly operating drainage
pumping system the indications are
that surface evaporation and other
losses would be reduced to the point
where it would be possible to irrigate
from $4,000 to 10000 additional acres.
In the area studied there were also
something over 10000 acres of swamp
land which would also be reclaimed
with this system of drainage.
Thus from the studies so far made
1t would indicate thai on this one
irrigation project from $4,000 to 3d.
600 acres of land would be made pro-

Murdoch believes that there are a

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-01-09

Mounted police were requested to keep
track of his movements with the idea
of preventing his escape in the event
of his learning that his hiding place
become known.
So thoroughly had he intended to
hide up his tracks, that he had grown
a full beard to prevent his possible
Identification, and had established his
home in a cabin so far up in the
mountains that it took the Canadian
police twenty-four hours to bring him
down to civilization. He was taken
by Detective Gordon and one of the
Canadian police officials to Havre,
then TO Great Falls and finally to
Bozeman, the trio arriving here on
the noon train last Wednesday. The
Canadian officer was Inpector Z. NJ.
Bavin, of the provincial police of AL
berta.
Not only did Marshall not volun-
tarily surrender, say the officers, but
at the time Of his arrest in Canada
he had on his person a railroad ticket
for a far-away city in the United
States that he would no doubt have
used in a few days had the Canadian
Officers and Detective Gordon not
bounced down upon him in his noun
tain fastness.
The Havre paper said:
Marshall, after being away from
the city for some time, came in Of
his own accord, met his attorney here
and left of his own accord for BOze-
man. Former Judge W. B. Rhodes,
Of Great Falls, is understood to be his
attorney"
The Great Falls paper said:
His attorney, several days ago,
stated that Marshall would surrender
himself if the officers made certain
agreements. The officers declared
they could lay their hands on Mar
shall at any time. What happened
either way is not known, but Mar
shall gave himself up to the officers
in Great Falls Sunday evening under
advice of his attorney, and goes to
Bozeman to make plea as to his con
n%ection with the bandit band"
For many years Marshall was a
bartender and saloon keeper in Havre
He is accused of being a silent
fence" for the robber gang and has
been under constant surveillance by
the detectives for a long time. He has
expressed himself several times tt
the officers in the county jail as be.
ing willing to make a confession, but
always hints that he would expect Of
fetal leniency IN return. One of the
statements attributed to him was Il
the effect that he was willing to con.
TESS that it was he, alone, who rob.
bed the S~alesville bank. This was
merely laughed at by the officers whC
know that he had nothing whatever
to do with the actual robbery, al
though he is alleged to have arranged
to dispose of the stolen bonds afte-
the Job" had been pulled off.
Those most familiar with the entirI
case believe that Marshall knows NOR,
about the robber gang and their &C
Invites than perhaps any other on
man and it is now thought more thai
likely that he will make a clean breas
of his participation, which would hav
the effect of clearing himself to
great extent and put the court in
/ position where it could conscientious
ly exercise clemency.

Your Credit Record

With the cooperation of the merch,
ants, doctors and dentists in every
town in Delta County, there is being
built up by the Delta County Credit
| Association, a history of the way in
which every person in the county pays
his bills.
Upon this record merchants and
! other business men over the county
will grant or refuse credit And it is
now clear that good many people
could very profitably get busy, by pay
ing up most of their old bills and ar
ranging definitely for the balance.
Your record in these files changes
as often as your habits of paying your
bills change. Pay your old bills and
in the future pay as you agree and
your past record will be forgotten.
Your credit standing in the commun-
ity is entirely up to you. If you are
refused credit by some merchant, do
not lay the blame on the merchant, it
is your fault. Let it be a lesson to
you for all time. Start out today re-
=
creditors one that you will have rea-
son to be proud OF. Remember, the
merchant had faith in you when he
gave you credit II through adverse
circumstances you find yourself in
position where you cannot pay as
agreed, 60 to your merchant and tell
him SO, You viii always find him
willing to meet you just little bet
ter than half way By doing this you
do not abuse the confidence placed in
you at the time you obtained credit.
This association is anxious to open
its files to a greater number of mem
bers. Its service is not an expense,
but an investment and a protection
that pays big dividends. Many of its
members have saved several times ov-
er the price of their membership be-
cause they have been forewarned of
poor credit risks. The use of the as
sociatiOu by its members takes the
guess-work out OF credit granting.

were forced to go by way of Cory
grade and Tongue Creek, making a
fifteen mile greater distance. The
new bridge to North Delta is rapidly
nearing completion. The pipe line has
been removed to the new bridge and
passengers are walking across with
the aid of both the old and the new
