CITY ELECTION
ON APRIL 4th

The city election comes on Mon
day, April 4. The officials to be
elected are mayor, three members
of the council and a police magis-
trate.
No filings have been made for
any of the offices. The last day
for filing is Thursday, March "a.
Mayor Swedberg has stated in
an interview that he has fully de-
cided not to file for a second term
and will not allow the use of his
name. 1t has been generally ex-
pected and hoped that Mr.. Swed-
berg would accept another term.
His decision not to do so will
bring disappointment as his ad-
ministration has been highly salts
factory and the business OF the
city put in the best condition pos
sible. The Mayor says he wishes
to give more of his time and
energy to private business. He
feels that in the positions of alder
mar and mayor he has given his
full share of service.

The golf club members met III
their annual business session II
the Lions room in the Sherman

LEAWTT'S BILL
FOR IRRIGATION
ASKS M l. LION TO BUILD
SYSTEM ON MISSOURI,
FRAZER EAST

Congressman Scott Leavitt, with
his usual prompt response to the
needs Of his district, has introduc
ed in a bill to authorize the appro-
priation of ST. 900, 900 for the con,
struction of an irrigation system
on the north side of the Missouri
river. The land contemplated by
the originators of the idea extends
from Frazer down the river past
Oswego, Wolf Point and Poplar, a
total of at least 10000 acres of
level bottom land entirely suitable
for irrigation. More than half is
Indian allotments.
A joint committee of men from
the four towns have held several
meetings carefully and surveyed
the situation. Representatives of
the Fort Peck agency are enthus-
iastic for the project. 1t is claim
ed by its friends that the time Is
propitious for this long contem-
plated enterprise. The Indians
tribal funds are about exhausted
and their individual allotments
need to be made more productive.
Employment and the circulation of
money are the big detectives OF
the. administrators program Of
reconstruction and economic re-
vival. The site of the proposed
project was long ago surveyed by
and pronounced feasible by gov
eminent engineers. An Indian
department inspector, DR.. Roe
Cloud, who was present at the
meeting of the irrigation
boosters, declared that all the
facts and arguments favored the
proposed project.
The joint committee held a
meeting here at the Commercial
club office last Friday night. The
of the committee are:
Frazer-Messrs. Lien, Smith, Gill
man, Hovey; Oswego = Himrod,
Knapp; Wolf Point =
Young, Rathert, Stennes; Poplar

Another meeting was held here
yesterday when measures were
aiken to secure the cooperation of
he Indian tribal council in the
of getting the project ap-
and financed at Washing

LINDBERCH BABY
IS STILL MISSING
MANY RUMORS RIFE BUT
CLUES FAIL TO PRODUCE
THE CHILD

Another week has passed and VI
to late Thursday night the Lind
bergh baby had not been returned
to his parents Each day has
brought to the anxious parents
the hope that within the next "a
hours their child would be restor.
ed to them. There have been nu-
Vulnerable clues, none of which
followed out brought the return of
the child.
The latest rumor comes from
Seattle and is to the effect that
the kidnapping of the Lindbergh
baby was planned before the child
was born, and that Betty Cow,
the child's nurse figured in the
case then. Miss Cow is still at
the Lindbergh home in Hopewell,
but neither she nor her sweet
heart, Harry Johnson, have been
eliminated from consideration in
the Investigation of the case.
Lindbergh is said to have en-
gagged Salvatore Spitale and Irv-
ing Bitz, underworld characters in
New York, to act as go-betweens
in negotiating with the kidnapers
should contact be established with
them. So far Spitale and Bitz
have apparently got no better re-
suits than the state police and Sc
cret service men. This action in
appealing to the underworld is be-
ing interpreted by foreign coun-
tries as an Indication of the de-
moralization of Americas police
force.
Anne Lindbergh, who bore up
the first few days, is be-
ng worn down by the strain of
he waiting and fear is felt that
The may become actually i'll from
he worry.
Newspapers check the progress
# the case by submitting at inter
rals during the day, a series of
Iu~estions to the state police de-
,artment. Colonel Lindbergh be-
ieves that the presence of report
re cr the estcte might make it
nore difficult for the kidnapers to
eturn the baby.

IRRIGATION ON
INDIAN LANDS
DEPT OFFICIAL EXPLAINS
TRIBAL FUNDS NOT USED
FOR IRRIGATION

The Herald has received the
following copy of a letter from an
official of the Interior department
to Joshua Wetsit who is at Wash
ington as the representative of
his tribe on the Fort Peck reser-
walton. The letter clears up the
status of tribal funds in relation
to irrigation projects on Indian
reservations 1t should have the
effect Of removing any objections
the Indians might have to the pro-
posed project now under consider
alton.
Below is the copy received from
Mr.. Wetsit:
UNITED STATES
DEPART'T OF THE INTERIOR
Office of Indian Affairs
Washington.
February "a, 1892.
Mr.. Joshua Wetsit,
Chairman, Fort Peck Council,
G0tel Plazc,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
This is to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of February IL, 1882
i~nclosing a copy of the Liggite re-
port in connection with the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
We very much appreciate having
this copy and will undoubtedly
find it useful in considering the
question of legislation dealing
with the Fort Peck Irrigation pro-
iect.
In answer to your inquiry re
garding the use Of tribal funds in
the construction of irrigation
works on the Fort Peck ReserVa-
ton, you are advised that the
early legislation under which the
irrigation work was initiated pro
vided appropriations from the
of the United States
which were to be reimbursed from
tribal funds. Under the above
provision the sum of $80,425.75 was
to the Treasury on &C
cunt of expenditures from reim-
bursable appropriations. However,
the Act of May 10, 1916 (39 Stat.
l.. 141) changed the matter of re-
Endorsements to the Treasury in
that the reimbursements were to
be made from the lands benefited
by irrigation and not from tribal
funds and under the provisions of
the last named act the S80,425.75
was restored to the credit of the
Fort Peck Indians. Therefore no
tribal funds are involved in the
amounts expended for irrigation
IN the Fort Peck Indian Reserva-
ion. Sincerely yours,
J. HENRY SCATTERGOOD,
Asst Comm. Dept of Interior.

Evening Game Fast

The game in the evening was
swifter than in the afternoon.
Butte Central made four field goals
in the opening of the first quarter,
and it looked as if they were going
to run away from Poplar. But not
for long. The score at the end of
the first period was Butte 8 Pop
lar 4. In the second quarter Pop
lar got going and advanced the
score to IL to II in favor of the
Indians. Butte Central players
were smaller than the Poplar
boys, and they fouled frequently,
sometimes, apparently, purposely.
This cost them the game as Pop
lar made nine of the II or Is free
throws given them, at the same
time making an unusually small
number Of fouls themselves. Butte
Central shot f~uriously and often
from the center of the floor, but
most of the shots went wild, as
they scored only three field goals
after the first quarter. Three
Butte men went out of the game
by the personal foul route.
Butte Central played a furious
game against the Terry aggrega-
ton in the forenoon, but the Cow
boys proved too much for them.
The score was tied six times in
the game. At the beginning of the

were not learned. Quite likely it
will be Whitefish. The game will
be broadcast over KICK the same
as Poplar's two other games have
been. A phone wire has been
leased and Engles Of Poplar, who
went with the team, talks into
the phone play by play at the mo-
ment they are made. An announcer
takes it off the phone and talks
1t into the mike in the Westland
studio here. The broadcast service
has been good.
Interest in the fortunes of the
splendid Poplar team is at high
pitch in northeast Montana and in
Wolf Point is second only to that
in Poplar. Disappointment was
keen here when our neighbors
lost to Great Falls in the last
minutes of the battle. With two
teams as closely matched as Pop
lar and Wolf Point we feel in a
way that the Poplar boys are rep
resenting us as we'll as their own
town. If the positions were revers-
ed we know we would have the
good will and moral support of
our friendly rivals. Up here we
honestly believe that either team,
at its best, is good enough to make
any team at Bozeman go its limit
and find that limit a bit short.

children have coughs that are not
whooping. It Is suggested that
parents make a special effort to
keep their coughing children from
running around at will. Usually a
few days treatment at the start
will check q cough if it is not
whooping cough. II the disease
does prove to be whooping cough,

QUESTION A WEEK
ANSWERS TO SEEK

Well, how did you get on with
the snow-water-40-acre field ques-
ton? 1t was a rather time-taking
problem for busy students and
other people, but an excellent
drill In concrete reasoning and in
accuracy in long operations. The
contest editor neglected, in present
ing the problem, to say in division
Quotents would be carried to not
over three decimal figures For
thoso vic ed E5t sec the question
in last weeks Herald it will be re-
peated. If the water from the
snow in a box 8Hx12x6 inches
weighs 8 pounds and 8 ounces, how
much water would a 40-acre field
receive from a 3 inch fall of the
same snow, allowing that 20 per
cent of the water a off or evapo-
rated? Express the answer in
barrels of 31h gallons and also in
tons Of 1000 pounds.
The answers, as given in the
answer box at the top of the page,
are: 1~3,342.845 barrels or ~1,752.649
tons. If your answers exactly
agree with all the figures at the
left of the decimal points you are
entitled to take the 10 points
credit allowed for this problem.
The editor has compared his re-
suits with those Of two competent
people who are not in the contest
and believes his figures are &C
curate. Cubic inches and ounces
of water and snow, and square
feet of ground were the bases for
computations.
1850 so. #. in n acre. 8 in.
of snow on an acre equals 1O,S90
Gu. #. or 1S,817,920 Gu. in. on II
acre. On 40 acres 75~2,716,S00 Gu.
inches.
The contents of the box are 612
GU. in. On the 40 acres were
1929, 929.41 boxes of snow. Each
box of snow equaled 81 ounces of
water. Total ounces Of water on
the field 70,1O5, 976.37. Divided by
Is gives 4,3S1,623.52 pounds. De
duct 20 per cent for run off and
evaporation and the remainder is
3,5O5, 298. 1916. Divide by the pounds
in a barrel of water (31R gals
1874 lbs. to a gal.) 262.71. Divide
by 1000.
A less tedius method of solution
is cancellation and proportion.
Mrs. Marshall worked it by cancel
1ation. Harry Imam worked it
by straight-away operations. The
three sets of answers clicked, ex-
cept very slight differences in the
decimals. OF course it is up to
them to find those differences.
Contestants are assured there will
be no more problems requiring as
much work as this one.
This Weeks Question
This week another water ques-
ton is asked but it is not compl-
Gated or very long. Here it is in full.
A community constructed a rec
tangular bathing pool 35 feet wide
rs feet long with a sloping bot
tom. If the water was brought to
a level six inches below the top
of the concrete walls it (the water)
was 7 feet deep at n end and z
feet at the other. The slope OF
the fat bottom was uniform
throughout. The water supply
for this pool yielded exactly two
gallons per second.
QUESTIONS: Filled as above

time was required to fill 1t?
