COUNTY FILES SUIT
AGAINST EDITOR
PICKET-JOURNAL

According to information given by
the County Attorney action will be
filed today by Carbon County against
c. Fl. Draper, editor and publisher of
the Pickett Journal, for the sum of
S6491.01 for overcharges and penalty
by reason of the defendants violation
of his printing contract with the
Board of County Commissioners of
Carbon county during the past six
years for furnishing books, printing
supplies, materials and legal publica-
tions in behalf and for this county.
The complaint is signed by b. P. Con-
we'll, county attorney, and also John
G. Skinner, associate counsel in the
case. The amount of the actual over
charge alleged in the complaint is
S5112.81, the balance being a penalty
of % per cent provided by law in
such cases. The penalty demanded in
this case is compulsory. This matter
Of overcharges has been before the
public previously and the outcome of
the case will be looked forward to
with interest by the taxpayers. The
county attorney alleges in the com
plant that gross overcharges have
been made by Mr.. Draper and such
alleged overcharges have been borne
out by the audit of Paul E. Hogan,
county auditor of Yellowstone county,
who is a recognized accountant and
whose figures are being used by the
county commissioners and by the
county attorney and his associate
counsel as basis for bringing the
suit for the amount above named.
Mr.. Conwell stated "the demand for
a refund made by me some days ago
on Mr.. Draper has not been complied
with and it appears that he intends to
fight the case; setting up such de-
fenses as he may have in the matter"
The county attorney will leave for
his vacation tomorrow and the matter
will be in the hands of Attorney John
G. Skinner, who will attend to it pend
ing Mr.. Conwells return.

Beartooth Boosters Club was held at

meeting developed into general dis
cussion of local affairs and several
members made brief talks. Among the

BALL FURNITURE
COMP ANY LEADS In
CHEVROLET SALES

w. G. Ball of The Ball Furniture
company, local Chevrolet dealers, has
received word from the zone office
that they were leaders in retail sales
in their group for the month of May,
selling over 166 per cent of their
quota. This record was made in COM
petition with about 25 other dealers
in their class and is a record that
Mr.. Ball is very proud of, and with
prospects for a good fall business
ahead, he should equal his May record
several times before the end Of the
year.
Chevrolet have announced their big
fall selling campaign to start August
l and will assist all dealers in making
sales at that time to farmers and 9TH
ers who are normally out of the mar
ket until that time of the year and
will particularly direct advertising to-
ward the truck buyer as Chevrolet
are makers Of the biggest selling gear
shift truck on the market.
Sales each month are increasing
rapidly and Chevrolet's goal of mil
lion cars during 1927 is rapidly near
ing completion and The Ball Furniture
company is contributing their share
in the campaign that will make auto |

MONTANA FOURTH
AMONG STATES OF
IRRIGATED LANDS

Helena Montana today stands
fourth among the states in irrigated
lands, according to the state division
of publicity. Montana's streams, it is
generally conceded, afford better
water supply than do those of most
western states. Under the federal
Carey act which authorizes grants of
land to the states upon condition that
arrangements be made for reelama-
ton, settlement and cultivation, there
are at present in Montana five irri-
cation projects. The Billings project
and the Waller project cover respect
lively $4,000 and $4,000 irrigable acres.
The Big Timber, Flatwillow and Little
Missouri projects cover a total of
10000 irrigable acres and are ac-
tually irrigating over $4,000 acres.
Other projects now in operation are
the Milk River, the Lower Yellow
stone, the Huntley, the Flathead and
Blackfeet Indian projects and the
Fort Peck Indian project. The Bynum
irrigation district in Teton county
covers a territory of 29,924 acres of
which 21,200 are irrigable.
In the Sun River project, the larg-
est project now in course of deyelop-
ment, the Gibson dam, a $1,800,OOO
structure, is being built on the north
fork of the Sun river, about 80 miles
west Of Great Falls. The dam, which
will be of the massive concrete arch
type, will have a crest length of ap-
proximately 900 feet and maximum
height of 195 feet. Augusta, the
nearest railroad point is about %
miles distant. In order to obtain cleo
trio power for the operations connect
ed with the construction of the dam,
the contractor has built about % miles
Of transmission line from the Montana
Power company's line to Augusta.
Excavation for the base of the dam
and the spillway were started as soon
as the electric power was available,
early in December, 1926. The CON
tractors plan to complete all excava-
ton for the dam and spillway by Aug
ust, 1927, and then to pour concrete
as long as weather will permit. The
present storage capacity of the reser-
voir is 10000 acre-feet but provision
has been made in the design SO that
the drum gates may be installed on
the spillway lip at some later date
thus increasing the storage capacity
to 10000 acre-feet without raising
the crest of the dam above the eleva-
ton provided for in the present con-
tract.
An area Of 10000 acres will be
served by the Sun River project when
-he dam has been completed. The
chief crops raised in this territory un-
der irrigation are barley, corn, oats,
rye, wheat, alfalfa and clover seed.
beans, potatoes, sugar beets, some
small fruit, hay and forage crops.
