TONGUE RIVER DAM
PROJECT IS APPROVED

Previously, the reclamation prof.
ect was approved on the basis
of a 10000 acre-foot dam and the
water users of the district signed
contracts for that amount OF
water.
Now the dam has been in
ect with the cost raised from
100000 to $1,200,000. Water US
r will have 40 years to pay for
the larger dam instead of 80 years
set for payment Of the smaller
structure.
Officials said that water users
will have the alternative of buy
ing 10000 acre-feet of water at
$1.35 an acre, or 10000 acre-feet
of water at $1.10 an acre.
The Tongue river project was
surveyed several years ago by the
state water conservation board
Eastern Montana people have CO.
operated in promoting the project
for the last 10 years or more but
not until 1888 did it enter PWA
channels.
The dispatch was interpreted as
meaning the PWA would grant
funds for construction to be su-
pervised by the state water con-
s%ervation board, the same as sew
eral other water projects now un-
der construction over the state.
Word from Miles City is to the
effect that approximately 1880
acre feet of the required 30, 00U
acre feet of the proposed Tongue
river dam project mentioned above
have been signed up by residents
in the Tongue river valley and
that the required number of sig
natures will be received within
the course of a week.

Sponsored by Hardin Woman's Club,
Annual Affair Largely
Attended.

Last Tuesday evening the Har-
din Woman's club held its first
Fine Arts Festival, which is an
annual affair in many clubs. All
the seating and much OF the
standing room was taken by
members and friends of the club,
all of whom expressed much
pleasure at the large and inter-
esting exhibit.
The room was transformed in
to a scene of beauty by hangings
of embroideries, lovely quilts,
hooked rugs, paintings, foreign
needle work, spreads and other
unusual articles. Every available
space IN tables, desks and bench
es was covered with large and
sman treasures, heirloomS, mod
ern types of art work and many
things owe a hundred years old,
The stories Of many of these
items were told by their owners,
which gave added interest.
One section of fine embroirder-
ed silks, etc., sent from China
by Henry Jensen, was OF interest
to all. Some of the nations from
which other items came were
Japan, Mexico, Norway, Sweden,
Persia, Alsace-Loraine, and other
lands. Several states were rep
resented and many periods Of
history.
One wedding dress over a hun
dred years old attracted interest,
also a large exhibit of a lovely
carved chest and brass articles
from the Philippines. A large ex-
hibit of "Birdcraft" weaving and
Woodcarving was a fine feature.
This is the first time there has
been such a fine disnlay in Har-
din and there we're mingled eX-
pressions of surprise and delight
as the group spent some time re-
viewing the varied treasures.
Much credit was due to the eff
forts of Miss Margaret Leikvoid
and Mrs. o. Y. Weir, who had
charge of all arrangements fol
the evenings activities.

Largest Acreage Planted in Big
Horn Co. Anticipated for
Hardin Factory.

At a mass meeting of sugar beet
growers held in the Hardin pri-
mary grade school building, Tues
day evening, presided over by
Henry Pitsch, president of the Big
Horn County Beet Growers as
ISOLATION the growers voted to
accept the sugar beet contract Of
fered by the Holly Sugar Cor
poration for 1887.
Andrw Kallen, regional director
for tn local organization, pre-
sented the contract to the grow
ers and discussed at some length
advantages the present contract
has over previous contracts, in
Guiding a substantial increase in
the scale over a year ago, pro-
viding a 25-75 division of profits
between the $3.75 and $4.75 net
selling price of sugar in favor soi
the farmer in place of the straight
$3.50 division as of a year ago.
The Holly Sugar Corporation
was represented at the meeting
by C. D. Adams, general manager
and the local agricultural force,
George Morrison, agriculturist; L.
Roy Cool and H. Paul Schaller,
fieldmen for the Big Horn valley,
and Carl Sloan, fieldman for the
Little Horn valley.
MI. Adams discussed the pend
ing sugar legislation before con-
gress and stated that unques-
tionably the sugar bill would pass,
which would pay to the beet
growers beneficial payments on
an average of about $2.08 per
ton and that the grower should
receive between SO and $3.50 per
ton for his beets this fall, in
Guiding government payments S.
When asked what the grower
should get providing the tax law
did not pass, he estimated the
payment might be about so cents

Quinn and Bunst0n Return Frcul
Trip to Washington, d. c.,
Very Confident,

C. c. Quinn and H. w. Bunston
returned from Washington, D. e.,
the first Of the week and spoke
optimistically regarding the prob
ability of the government under
taking the construction of a dam
on Lodge Grass creek, the esti-
mated cost of which is one-haif
million dollars. They state that
they continued to a conclusion

Harry Whiteman and Tom Yellow
tail, had the program well map
ped out, and when Mr.. Funston
and MIR. Quinn arrived, they be-
came acquainted with conditions
fully before the Indian Representa-
atives left. Since that time
their work became principally
that of having the merits of the
project presented to the congress
s1onal appropriations committee.
This was done through personal
contacts with the members, and
through a hearing granted by the
committee. The hearing was had
on Thursday, April LIST, and the
writer is informed by the rep
resentatives that one-half hour
was allotted to them, but owing to
the Importance of the project and
the interest manifested by the
committee, the hearing lasted
about one hour over the time
allotted. One Of the members of
the committee, on learning they
were from Hardin, asked If they
knew Ray C.. Thompson, a rela-
tive. Before leaving, some of the
committee openly expressed their
support of the amendment pro-
viding for the appropriation Of
two hundred thousand dollars for
this years work. The dam Is to
cost approximately five hundred
thousand dol!ars-the balance to
be provided next year.

O'Connor and Mr.. Wathan, chief
OF the irrigation department, ex-

''the truth shall make you free"
Truth always sets free. Men are
enslaved because, as in some for
eign lands, they have not had the
opportunity to learn the truth 1--WE
have failed to send it, or because
they have rejected it.
III. Vision John 9:1-1D.
This is one Of the most instructive
passages in Scripture. A man born
blind is seen by Jesus. His dis
ciples note his intent and begin to
theorize on a theological question.
They had learned so little Of the
compassionate spirit Of Jesus that
they saw in this bhghted life only
an illustration Of a theological the
ory. May God help US that we may
never be so blind.
Jesus goes at once to work. He
was in the world to do the works Of
God. He and the Father always
work. Let us follow his blessed
example. ''The Kings business re-
uuires haste" Let us work while
it is day, the night cometh when
no man can work."
BY a loving and gracious act,
Jesus stirs in the heart of the man
that faith which causes him to go,
to wash, and, glory to God, he sees!
Such a personal experience Of the
divine power Of the Son Of God
leaves no doubt in the mans mind
that the one who caused him to
see sis a prophet" All of mans
doubts concerning the deity of Jesus
Christ disappear when he becomes
his Saviour.
Read the remainder of the chap
ter and note how this mans faith is
victorious in the face of trials, per-
secution, and even of excommuni-
cation; for outside the temple he
met Jesus and takes him as his
Lord. AS DR.. Scroggie puts it, His
accommodation was a promotion.
He went from the synagogue to the
Saviour"
