APPEAL ON IRRIGATION
CASE DENIED BY COURT
Federal Government Loses Crow
Project Plea In San
Francisco

The federal government was
denied a rehearing Tuesday in its
injunction action against landow-
ners on the Crow irrigation pro-
ject in this country by the United
States District court OF appeals.
THE hearing was held in San Fran
cisco.
~ TIE government had sought an
injunction to stop the Antler Land
company and 81 other land own
ers from diverting the waters from
the Little Big Horn and Lodge
Grass creek. Many local people
have viewed with interest the
court proceedings on the case, as
it concerns many prominent land
owners in the southern part OF
Big Horn county.
The area formerly was the Crow
Indian reservation and Indians
were permitted to take water from
the streams, and when white men
acquired the land they also pur-
chased the water rights they COIL
tended. The government contened
the water rights could not be
transferred.
In seeking a rehearing the gov
eminent commended the circuit
courts ruling was not in steu with
United States supreme court de-
cisions.

j. A. Cross, Monday announced
their decision to construct a
factory at Hardin at once to pro-
cess their product. This bentonite
deposit is located en- the Crow In
dian reservation and is Crow tri-
bal property.
These men. together with R. G.
Oiefendorfer. Sheridan. Wvo., at
torney, Walter Mumper. also Of
Sheridan, and H. M. Simmons Of
Lodge Grass comprise the group
who will undertake the develop
ment of the new industry. Con-
siderable time has been spent in
deciding on a factory location and
not until Monday, when T. N. May
field arrived from his Washington
home was the decision actually
made.
The group found that Hardin
offered many advantages for their
plant. The power line of the Mon
tana Power company is at Hardin
and it was found that it would
cost about $50, 900 to extend that
line to a point near the bentonite
deposit. Another deciding factor
was that a water grade road can
be used from the field to Hardin.
The fact that the main road up
the Big Horn valley will have to
be maintained for heavy trucking
IF sugar beets and other products
from that valley assures them Of
a well-maintained road.
, They also considered the road
leading north from Hardin to
Custer a a means of reaching
the Northern Pacific railroad and
Yellowstone Trail as advantages.
Construction work is to start
promptly on the factory. which
it is hoped to have in operation
within sixty DAYS. Besides twenty
men steadily employed at the fac
tory. several truckers will be re-
CURED to transport the bentonite
from the field to the factory at
Hardin.
This is the first development
of any product other than agri-
cultural which will be bringing
a revenue to the Grow tribe. It is
estimated that there will he pro-
cessed about $40 tons of bentonite
daily. which will mean to the In
dians a event. in the neighbour
hood of S36 rer dav. or in excess
Of thirteen thousand dollars an
nually.
Il is stated that thee is enough
e"ntonite o located to supply
this Mani for over fifty years.
Bent0n:te has the distinction of
having over 1000 uses. and is Just
n its infancy so far as uses are
concerned.

However, the small poultry loss
that can be definitely traceable to
foxes is undoubtedly more than offset
by increased land values due to the
presence of the Hunt Club. It
would seem, therefore, that the
smart land owner would protect.
rather than destroy foxes on his
land.
In the hunt section of Virginia
the fox is carefully protected. I
was recently told an interesting
story of a hunter out for quail and
rabbits, who shot a fox that came
within gun range. His neighbors
were so incensed that they made it
so uncomfortable for him he was
practically driven out of the County.
The organized hunt tries, in every
way, to cooperate with land owners
who permit US to hunt over their
land. Among other things, we in
vite them to hunt with US whenever
and as often as they wish, without
cost. There is a standing invitation
to them to join us and be one of us.
Members of the hunt, who have
places in the hunt country buy hay
and corn locally when possible. We
encourage the land owners to raise
good horses so that in the purchase
of hunters we can give preference
to our friends among the farmers.
We very much wish more of our
farmers would raise hunting horses.
The Potomac Hunt has gone so far
as to offer free thoroughbred stall
lion service to all farmers in our
territory who permit us to hunt over
their land, and we offer prizes to
those producing the best colts. Good
hunters may be produced from any
fairly good sized farm mare bred to
a thoroughbred stallion.
In addition, one of the ladies Of
our hunt, Mrs. Joseph Horgan, 2741

the bus SO that it will not interfere
with traffic. At Sandy Spring it sug-
gested stopping on the north side of
the road near the intersection of the
Brooke Grove road. At Olney to stop
on the west side of the Brookeville
pike near Murphy's shop.
The committee on zoning reported
that it had not gotten copy of the
proposed enabling act but that it
hoped to have one soon after election.
The secretary was directed to send
copy Of this to all members of the
council as soon as possible. This is
for study and criticism by all mem
bers and all affiliated organizations.
Mr.. Whitlock offered to have the pro-
posed enabling act mimeographed for
this organization.
There being no new business the
meeting adjourned.

Letters to the Editor
MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL,
Rockville, Maryland.

MUNTGOMEh1 COUNT1 SENTINEL,
Rockville, Maryland.
Gentlemen: EkKsssf
was very much interested in the
recent editorial in THE SENTINEL in
reference to good sportsmanship
among hunters, and heartily agree
with the sentiment therein expressed.
This editorial prompts me to make,
through you, some observations in
reference to the increased interest
in the ancient and thrilling sport of
fox hunting in Montgomery County,
with its consequent definite advan-
tage to the land owners.
AS far back as seventy-five years
ago, there were many private packs
of fox hounds in the County, and a
great deal of chill top" fox hunting.
Later foxes seemed to. almost dis
appear from the County. In my
youth, near Gaithersburg, knew
no one who then owned fox hound,
except those used exclusively for

Brandywine Street, has undertaken
to list available properey for sale in
Potomac, Travilah and Darnestown
Districts in an endeavor to find pur-
chasers. She has been successful in
a number of cases.
We want the land owners to know
and feel that we are not just lot
of "City Slicers" on horseback riding
carelessly over their land, but that
in reality, we want to be real
friends and neighbors to them,
always eager to protect their prop
erty, their fences, their stock, and
their crops. If any time anything
happens to displease a land owner,
/ assure you it was not intentional,
and the hunt is always ready and
anxious to correct and rectify such
a situation and pay for any actual
damage done.
Being the fifth generation of my
family born and raised in good old
Montgomery, am greatly interested
in it's future. / am absolutely con-
fident no single agency will go fur
Their to improve the County and in
crease it's land values than the en-
enlargement of the fox hunting club.
VERY truly yours,
