Orders to remove the dams by
dynamiting or other means have
been issued to State game officials
in Allegany, Washington and Fred
erick Counties. It is said that there
are approximately 10 dams in the
river used solely in connection with
the fish pots.
Use of dynamite to remove the
pots will not result in killing the
fish, according to LIE Compile.
Another Forward Step.
Another Maryland measure looking
toward better fishing was started by
A. NJ. Powell, fish culturist of the
State Conservation Commission, when
he ordered a survey of lakes and
ponds on the Eastern Shore, prelimi-
nary to making selection of which
bodies of water would be used for
the breeding Of bass and crappie by
the commission.
Two small lakes, one near Wye
Mills in Talbot County and another in
Caroline County, already have been
designated as breeding centers and
are being stocked with fish by

CONTRACTS FOR
3RD CITY WELL
COUNCIL ACCEPTS PROPOSAL
OF KELLY WELL COMPANY
SOMETHING NEW

After considering propositions
from several we'll concerns and hav-
ing the plan and specifications of the
Kelly well thoroughly demonstrated
by E. w. Bennison, Kelly Well com
pany engineer, the City Council
voted to accept the proposal of the
Kelly company to construct a we'll
for consideration of $500. The
matter was considered at two spec
ial meetings held Monday and Tues
day evenings.
A Packed Well
The Kelly we'll is something new
in deep well construction and is de-
signed especially to overcome the
difficulties that are interfering with
the city water supply here. 1t is
what is known as a packed we'll with
screen and gravel packing suited to
the varying earth strata passed in
digging. The hole will be 80 inches
in diameter and the casing 18 inches
on the inside.
The city officials were convinced
that the Kelly is the type of well
needed here, the only objection be-
ing to the price made, $4,000. After
communicating with his company
Mr.. Bennison offered to make a re-
duction of $400. 1t is understood
that work will begin as soon as the
machinery can be brought to the

SETTLERS TAKE
ACTION ON LAND
COMMITTEE APPOINTED T O

REGARDING PLANS

At the meeting of the Fort Peck
Settlement Association last Friday

tentative list of proposals for sub
mission to congress were agreed up
on and a committee named to con-
fer with the Indians regarding their
interest in the matter. The mem

Fridays meeting.
The two propositions which will be
submitted to congress, according to
tentative plans are the Federal loan
plan and an extension of time in
worthy cases.
Under the first named plan the
government would advance money
to the settlers in order that the In
dians might get their pay for the
land, the money to be repaid the gov
ernment over a period of years. I'm
der the second plan such cases as
could bring two witness to swear
that they were unable to pay at that
time would be granted an extension
Of time.
Among the hun lred or more who
attended the meeting were a num-
Der Of Indians prominent in tribal
affairs. They no power to take ac-
ton or even to express an opinion
officially although number of them
gave their individual opinions.
Those of the Indians who gave
talks were James Archdale, Joshua
Wetsit, Martin Mitchell, Gus Hedde-
rick, and Peter Dupree, the last two
being from Poplar. They were in
structed to have a tribal meeting
called within ten days at which time
the Indians will decide their stand
on the matter and will tn IN communi-
cate with the committee Of whites.

Is FARM CENSUS
SHOWS GROWTH
COMMERCE DEPT REPORT ON
ROOSEVELT COUNTY TELLS
OF ADVANCEMENT

Inc 1870 farm census WHICH Is
taken by the Department of Com
merce reveals some very striking
figures showing that Roosevelt coun-
ty has made marked development in
agricultural industries during a most
trying period from 1920 to 1925.
The 1920 census shows 1,215 far
mers in Roosevelt county while the
1925 census shows a total of 1,267
making an increase of 81 during
that period while most other agri-
cultural sections show trend in the
other direction. The fact that there
are $4,000 acres more in farming
land this year than in 1920 proves
that there has been a marked de-
velopment in the system of farm
ing and that most farmers are utiliz-
ing the acreage that has proven most
profitable. In 1919, 92,406 acres
of wheat in Roosevelt county yield
ed only 316,1O2 bushels while in
1924 126,153 acres yielded 2,47s,-
893 bushels.
Big Hog Increases
The figures also indicate an in
crease of 800 per cent in the num-
ber of hogs raised, also that Roose-
vela county has 1900 dairy cows
being used for dairy purposes and
that the production of beef cattle |
has increased from 1900 to 3d.
900 over that period Of time. One
of the very surprising figures show
only an increase of 125 per cent of |
the acreage of corn grown in this
county with only 1854 acres in
1924; it is believed that this latter
figure is in error as the community |
shows that in 1924 there was
a large acreage of corn than indi-
Gated by the census returns.
More Summer Tillage
Another remarkable development |
is a survey of practices taken by the
extension office this fall which in
licates that in practically every
farm community the summer titled
acreage constitutes one-third of the
cash crop acreage which means that
corn ground and summer fallow
nave developed into permanent
system of farming and that Roose-
yelt county farmers now are basing
heir methods on the fact that from
hree to seven inches of rainfall IS
Ill that can be expected during the
srowing season and that any year
nay be dry year. This practice
ogether with the adoption of the
rop standardization program which
las also helped increase the acre
rield and cut down the production
ost is largely responsible for the
Increase in wheat produced per acre
he past years as compared to the
Methods employed in 1919 and 1920.

item Of expense, is taken care of for
the tourist by agents and guides.
Private guides and motor cars are
in waiting at every city and for side
excursions.
Holy Land And Egypt
The island of Madeira will be
reached January IA and Gibralter,
Spain, on the morning Of the 10th.
The route then skirts the north
Mediterranean with stops at Nice,
Monaco, Naples, Athens. A daylight

REMEMBER EXTRA 81

Don't fail to send to Austin B.
Middleton, warden of the state peni-
tentiary, an extra 81 with your reg,
ular automobile license fee. The
last legislative assembly, in MAX
ing a transfer of the handling of
the motor license department from
the office of the secretary of state
to the prison warden, added many
new wrinkles to the procedure and
one of them is 81 fee to be
charged by the warden for the is
suance of certificate of ownership.
This certificate Of ownership must
be filled out by the automobile own
er but the blanks will be furnished
by the warden Ask him for one.
IL New Forms
The motor vehicle department of
the State of Montana will be trans
ferred to the state prison next Tues
day. Ski Small, former sheriff of
Valley county, will be in charge Of
the registration and issuance of Ii
censes. He has been occupied for the
past month in preparing for the
transfer of the office equipment and
has prepared a place at the prison
for the handling of the plates. The
last legislature provided IT new
forms to make out in connection
with the licensing of the automobiles
of Montana. Mr.. Small has these
forms in the printers hands and will
be ready for business in a very short
time.
Write For Blanks
A saving is expected to be made
in the matter of labor by reason of
the change but the legislature has
added much to the expense in t'e,
matter of printing new forms and
the postage to be used in mailing
blanks and the license plates. Mr..
Small has estimated that the post

been in the past because of the in
