u. S, BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
THE DIAMOND CREEK DAM

Federal authorities took action to
hald construction work on the Dia-
mond Creek dam Saturday afternoon
when James E. Grand was ordered to
appear before Federal District Judge
Fred G. Jacobs on March Is to show
cause why work should not be stop
ped.
The order was issued on an appli-
cation filed by Assistant United States
Attorney George T. Wilson. The APP
plication was styled, UNITED States
Of America vs.. James e. Grand"
The government alleges that work
on the dam, which was started in De-
cember, 1923, is being prosecuted
without authority from the govern
ment, in violation of law, and that 1t
encroaches and trespasses on govern
ment lands and property.
The cost of the Diamond creek
project, which is situated in Mohaye
and Cochise counties, is estimated at
$50, 100000. The cost of the dam is
placed at $9,000,000 and is planned to
be a concrete structure $50 feet high,
impounding lake more than rs miles
long intended entirely for power de-
velopnent purposes.
Construction work on the dam is
proceeding at a site on the Colorado
river in Mohaye county short dis
tance above the mouth of Diamond
creek. Power development will be ac-
complished by dropping water from
near the top Of the dam through tun-
nells into Diamond Greek, in which
It would return to the Colorado river
below the dam.

last year that many of them can le-
gally file claim except in extreme
eases where the appeal must be sent
to the central office in Washington
and the director allow the additional
year.
To those ex-service men who have
nesitated about filing claim, Osborn
says that they should remember that
their disabilities are most apt to
grow worse instead of better with adj
vancing years, and that too often aid
is not asked until it IS too late. For
this reason the veterans bureau is en-
deayoring to reach all possible claim
ants before their time limit has ex-
pired.

leases followed. The first leases were
granted by Secretary Daniels him
self This point is emphasized.
To all this Senator Walsh makes a
reply intended to be ferocious. But
it's weak. Malicious misrepresenta-
ton, he says, and then admits the
very things the republican statement
has charged. He admits the Sinclair
and Doheny leases were made under
rider to the general leasing bill,

which was sponsored by himself, and
which was enacted during President
Wilson'S administration.
When you throw a boomerang at
another fellow and miss him, it's very
apt to come back to you. This oil

air with intent to assail the repub-

LEGION POSTS MAKE
BIG MEMBERSHIP GAINS

PHOENIX, Mar 6.-The American
Legion posts of Ray, st Johns and
Hayden are leading the race for mem
'bership gains, according to standing
list issued today by Neri Osborn, de-
partment adjutant, and one of these
three organizations, he says, stands
a good chance Of capturing the grand
trophy for largest increase over 1928,
which will be awarded at the next
state convention.
The most phenomenal growth this
year has been made by John Pruitt
post of Ray, whose paid-up member
ship has increased from % to 10, or
more than 800 per cent since the first
of January.
The Greer Dewitt post Of the little
town of st Johns also has made re-
markable strides, jumping from a
membership of IL to 40, while the
Norman q. Griffin post of Hayden
has leaped from Al to 61 members
strong.
The grand trophy. now held by the
Fl. Fl. Donkersley post of Yuma, is
awarded each year to the post show
ing the largest increase i'm members
over the previous year. The official
standing, based on paid-up member
ships turned into state headquarters,
is announced as follows.

AFTER SIX YEARS FORGER
ASKS FOR PUNISHMENT

81 can't stand it, l want to get
square," Roy Nelson, 81, volunteered
to Jailer Jack Barry when he walked
into the police station at Butte re-
Gently and related a story of being a
fugitive for six years from Bozeman,
where he says he forged a check for
twenty dollars.
Nelson, looking careworn and tired
from long travelling, asked Assistant
Chief of police Mike O'Donnell to in
form Bozeman authorities that he
was in custody and announced that
he was ready to take any punishment
that might be due him.
The man declared that it was near
setting him crazy and stated that he
would tell everything" to Gallatin
authorities when they came for him
Nelson was a farmer near Bozeman
six years ago when he sold an auto
mobile owned jointly by himself and
another man, he said. He also forged
a check, he said, and then disap-
peared.
In the six years of absence he has
not written to relatives in BoZeman
and has been in every section of the
country. Afraid to linger long in one
part, his life was one continual NOV
ing.

He has been in Butte about two
days coming from the coast, the pri-
soner told the officers.

GOVERNMENT HUNTERS
KILL MANY ANIMALS

Some idea of what the federal bu-
reau of biological survey is doing for
the sportsmen of Montana is shown
in the monthly report of Inspector R.
E. Bateman who is in charge of the
work in this state. During the month
of May, a total of 1927 predatory
animals were killed or taken.
In a letter to the hunters employed
under him, Mr.. Bateman writes:
During May Al regular salaried
and two cooperative hunters report
ed to the office and accounted for 900
true predatory animals, consisting of
10 adult and three bobcat kittens, 258
adult and GA coyote pups, two adult
and three wolf pups. In addition 81
coyotes we're destroyed of which nc
parts were saved, Is of which were
poisoned last winter, and 16 of which
were unmatured. This makes the
actual number of predatory animals
destroyed 954, which figuring on q
81 day basis averages rs plus animals
per man. Three badgers and one
skunk were accounted for, while Is
badgers, seven skunks, a wild house
cat, and 103 porcupines we're de-
stroyed of which no parts were saved
Seven rattlesnakes, eight crows, five
hawks, 81 magpies and los magpie
eggs were destroyed. The hunters
also tore up 28 maybe nests.
"We wish to comment on the
large number of predatory animals
taken by some of the hunters during
the past month. 1t is believed that
June is almost as good a month for
den hunting as May, and that if the
hunters will take special care to COW
er the country and get into new To-
calities, they will do equally as well
as they did in May"
