Would Make Medicine Lake
q Fish and Game
Preserve

Information came from HEfena
this week that the state fish and
game commission will ask the Pub
lie Works Administration for an
appropriation Of $4,000 to CON
stnuct Medicine Lake. Al a meet
Ing OF the commission state game
warden, Charles b. Mars, ex
pressed himself much in favor ID
the project, and explained that II
would create a fish and game pre-
serve that would be a benefit to
duck hunters all the way from the
Canadian border to the Mexican
line"
The application, which gives =
complete statement of the proposed
construction. The lake now covers
5000 acres of land with a depth
of water from two to six feet. Ii is
the southernmDG1 of a chain al
lakes from the Canadian border.
As miles north, and the lakes drain
about 10000 acres of land.
The dam would be built at the
west end of the lake near the town
Of Medicine Lake, ~impounding
waters from springs. The Big
Muddy river would be diverted into
THE lake, and the proposed dam
would be from 10 to IA feet high
and $500 feet long.
The lake SO created would be
used to propagate many kinds Of
game and other fish. including
Walleyed pike. catfish. crappies.
perch and bass, and ii would also
become the home OF thousands Of
water fowl.
The applications, prepared by
Sheridan county enthusiasts. also
explains that the lake is in a region
OF rather arid lands, and could be
made a recreational resort fof
eastern Montana and a part or
western North Dakota.
One of the most important
features of the proposed project
would be that the construction work
would all be done by men and
teams.
Judge s. e. Paul. who was in
Helena last week In the interest
OF school Legislation, said he believed
there was good possibility OF the
Lake project being approved BY
the Public Works board, as Mr..
Peterson, the state board member
from Glasgow, vas very much In
favor Of the work. and would do
all he could to get 1t through.

ENCOURAGEMENT SHOWN
BY UP-TURN IN MARKETS

Farmers and business men alike
got much encouragement during
the past week from the general up
turn in the market. Wheat had ad-
vanced almost 8 cents a bushei and
seemed to be holding firmly to the
gains OOther grains were mp cor
respondingly. and livestock had
made some advances.
The general Strengthening In the
market seemed to follow money pol
ices by the President and In incaIn-
alton of Congress to follow along.
Lack OF rains In the southwest
wheat belt also tended to bring q
buliish influence, as well as the de
creasing stocks OF grain on hand.
Stocks of wheat. corn and pats In
the hands OF Montana farmers were
considerably less than this same
last year. In the case OF wheat,
holdings were estimated at 1I,I5u.-
900 bushels, compared with IT.

Trial Held Secretly

He was tried upon ten charges.
1t was alleged that in Berlin
during August, 1882, he had, in
association with Otto Waldnermar
Dist, made notes of organization
of tanks. armored cars, their
equipment, arming and structure
as well as the patterns of auto
matte rifles and the organization
of tank brigades; also that he had
obtained material at the Aldershot
military depot which might be use
full to the enemy The other
charges made the same allega-
ticns under different dates.
Baille-Stewart pied not guilty.
Since important military docu-
nents were involved and since
some of the Witnesses for the state
were from the War Department
and the Directorate or Milliraty
Operations and Intelligence while
others were foreigners who lives
might be jeopardized if their
names were known, reporters and
the public were barred much of
the time from the trial. This gave
rise to a new crop of mysterious
rumors and England boiled with
excitement.
The prosecution brough out
that certain acts of Baille-Stewart
has caused a watch to be kept
upon his correspondence with the
result that important letters had
been intercepted. One of these, 1t
was alleged, had been sent by the
lieutenant to Obst to thank him
for setting promptly "a small
debt" The interesting thing
about this letter was that 1t was
signed "Alphonse Poiret."
Two letters, said to have been
sent to Baille-Stewart by Marie
Louise, were also introduced. One,
received on November IA, 1882,
enclosed ten five-pound Bank of
England notes, and referred to
money loaned to her by Baille-
Stewart which she said she could
not pay back all at once. An
other received December Z, enclos-
ed forty pounds and said that she
was paying the balance Of the
lloan."
| Investigation of Baille-Stew-
arts bank account revealed that
he never had SO much as fifty
pounds at any time that he could
have lend anybody. He said, how
lever. when questioned at the time
that a wrong construction ha6
been put on the letters. He was
unable to explain then why he
had called himself Alphonse Poi.
ret, but he claimed that the mon
ey had been sent to him by wo-
man he had met in Berlin park
and fallen in love with. t...
At the trial, he accounted for
the Alphonse Poiret signature by
saying that he refused to sign
