IRRIGATED LANDS
ARE INCREASING
t w PROJECTS RECLAIMING
1900 ACRES WILL BE
COMPLETED SOON
Another of $500 acres, will be fin
ished in the fall, bringing total Of
states irrigated lands up to over
100000 acres.

Two irrigation projects serving
1900 acres of Montana land will
be completed this summer, and a
third project to furnish water for
$500 acres may be completed be-
fore November 1, bringing the to-
tai of the irrigated land in the
state well over 1000, 900 acres,
Fred z. Buck, irrigation engineer
for the publice service commission
announced in summarizing the pro-
gram for the year.
The largest project scheduled for
completion this summer, is known as
the Red Lodge-Rosebud irrigation
district in Carbon county, now being
built under the direction of the pub
lie service commission. Bonds total
ing $418,000 have been sold to COM
plete this project, which will serve
$4,000 acres with water taken from
the Rosebud river. The other pro-
ject now nearing completion is To-
Gated in Jefferson county, known as
the Whitehall district project, the va
ter supply being obtained from a re-
servoir on Whitehall creek, which
will be ready for use in a very short
time. The ditch system, planned to
serve 5000 acres at an estimated
cost of $50 an acre, is about half CON-
pleted at the present time.
GIendive-Fallon District.
Construction work on the upper
Glendive : Fallon irrigation district
system, in Dawson and Prairie coun-
ties, is progressing rapidly, Mr.. Buck
reports, and may be completed this
year. All machinery has been install
led for pumping the water from the
Yellowstone river sufficient for $500
acres. The water is pumped to the
distributing systems over two lifts of
40 and 70 feet the lower lift having
been placed in operation last year.
The district is colonized by Russians,
who submitted reports to the com-
mission indicating that the project is
being operated successfully.
Great Quantity Not Impounded.
Estimating the water supply for
irrigation in Montana, MI. Buck said
that at least 100000 acre feet of
water leave the state annually in the
Missouri. Yellowstone and Charles
Fork rivers, which if it could be
placed in reservoirs, would irrigate
approximately Ia, 100000 acres of
land now dry, increasing the present
irrigated area more than 400 per
cent.

GIRL Makes
LONG HIKE FOR HEALTH

Starting from Pendleton, Oregon,
with a pack on her back and travelling
to Orofino, Idaho, where she pur-
chased a pack horse and proceeded
across mountain ranges on her way
to Calgary, Can, is the experience
of Miss Bernice Shaw, afrail appear
ing little lady, who is hiking for her
health.
Miss Shaw stated that she had
been advised by physicians to travel
in the mountains on account of her
being threatened with tuberculosis,
and had chosen the hard end of trav-
cling as a preference. She did not
use a jitney and camp along the
streams where scores of tourists are
passing daily, but chose the rough
side of a trip with pup and pony
through the forest trails of the Bit
ter Root ranges.

gained meant much in the short
time of the year the Missouri was
navigable. AS I thought, so
thought others, who came from Fl.
Asssinaboine, and other points in
Montana. The Ear West" could
accommodate but thirty passengers
and these were all booked far in
advance.
1t was reported the boat would
leave the day after its arrival.
When that day passed, and another,
while she still remained tied to the
levee, although her passengers
were aboard, and her freight dis
charged, no one could understand
her delay in starting, and her Of
ficers were tantalizingly uncom-
municative. Then the whistle of the
Helena" was heard below the
bend, and a little later she pulled
up beside us.
This caused some dicontent
among those on our boat who
would have preferred to go on the
Helena" However, they could do
nothing but wait patiently for the
departure of the Ear West" which
took place soon after the arrival of
the second boat.

thorities will be faced with another
strange murder. No missing woman,
aside from Mrs. LaCasse, has been
reported in this section of the state,
and with that fact the belief is fur
Their strengthened that the Butte wo-
an is the victim found.
Suspicion of Skidmore who is re-
ported to have been with the woman
shortly before her disappearance,
started early in 1921 when he was ar
rested and it was found that he had
all of her clothing and personal be-
longings.
Her Disappearance.
Alarm over the disappearance of
Mrs. LaCasse was first announced to
authorities on April g., 1921, when
LaCasse told Chief of Police Murphy
of fears that his wife had been killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaCasse had been
married only a few months and early
in that year journeyed to Seattle,
where LaCasse entered a. sanitarium.
In March, 1921, LaCasse bid his wife
goodbye at the Seattle station when
she left for Butte. She intended to
go to the home of LaCasse's mother,
Mrs. Fred Wedlake of Butte.
1t was the last LaCasse saw of his
wife and it was never learned If the
woman reached Butte.
When police received information
which mentioned Skidmore, he was
arrested April 6, in Butte. He had in
his possession two trunks full of cost
ly clothing and several pieces of jew
elry, all of which was identified as be-
longing to Mrs. LaCasse. Also a purse
the woman had when she left
Seattle and a revolver belonging to
her husband we're found in Skid
room. In a safety deposit box
by Skidmore in a Butte bank
a valuable watch which LaCasse had
presented to his wife, also was found.
Skidmore questioned by officers,
denied n knowledge of the wo-
whereabouts. He explained
possession of her belongings by a
statement that he had loaned the wo-
man $1,000 on them in order that she
might make a trip to Vancouver.

In the meantime Mrs. LaCasse was
not found and when it could not be
proved that she was dead, Skidmore
a released. He went to Anaconda
shortly after his release and took up
his home with Mrs. R. French in the
900 block on East Commercial street.
Mrs. French was declared to be Skid
more's mother.
A little later, Mrs. j. A. Hendrick
of Sipe Springs, Texas, mother of Mrs.
LaCasse came to Butte to investigate
her daughters disappearance. One
day she appeared in Anaconda with
LaCasse and going to Mrs. French's
home accused her of having knowl-
edge of her daughters disappearance.
Mrs. French started to escape but

dric was arrested and later released.
Skidmore and his mother later left
Montana and were next heard of in
where Skidmore was shot
and dangerously wounded when try
ing to escape from officers who had
arrested him for theft of an automo-
bile.
He was later taken to Utah where
pleaded guilty to transporting a
automobile across the state
line. Hewas brought to Montana
early in 1923 to stand trial on the
same charge and pleaded guilty in
federal court in Helena where he was
tined $25.

who had overcome and slaught-

At Fort Buford, the officers of
that post besought the army men
on our boat to leave their wives and
children at Buford, until another
boat came down. They declared we
were all of us running a great risk
if we went to Bismarck with the
Indians. We civilians had no
choice in the matter; we must go,
Indians or no Indians, or lose Our
fare. In the end, all decided to
take the chance of being scalped,
the army group and civilians alike.
That night the Indians had a
parting feast to which their re-
naming dogs contributed the prin-
cipal dish. Many of the passen-
gers from the three boats watched
the festivities. I was prevented
from joining them, because of my
two children.
One woman from Helena took
her little girl with her-a beauti-
child, with long golden curls.
The squaws crowded around her,
and uttered in Sioux EXPLANATIONS
their admiration of the fair maid
with the golden locks.
