High Court 10 Have
Busy Session Monday

The Supreme Court will have a
busy bench session Monday, de-
spite its earlier decision to hear
the last of this terms oral argu-
ments today and hand down no
more opinions until May 2.
Because Of additional time for
arguments and questioning OF at
torneys on some of the cases heard
since last Monday, the court an
nounced today 1t will meet again
Monday to complete hearings on
two remaining cases.
1t also indicated 1t would hand
down decisions on some OF the
approximately 10 cases argued
since the start of the current term
last October but as yet undecided.
One of the cases to be argued
Monday is test of the use Of
evidence obtained by wire-tap-
ping. Two New York gamblers,
convicted of charges of attempted
bribery of two former New York
Giants professional football play
ers in 1916, contend New York
authorities illegally used such evi-
dence at the State court trial.
New York officials hold that the
State constitution and statutes
permit use of wire-tapped EVIL
dence.
The other case pending for
argument involves an Indiana
Negro convicted of murder. He
contends he was Illegally indicted
because Negroes were excluded
from the grand jury.

Police 70 Be on Lookout
For Dancer Of Open Wells

Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett
has directed members OF the force
to be on the lookout on both pub
lie and private property for open
wells, cisterns or holes that might
constitute a danger.
In a memorandum, Maj. Bar
rett said the assistant corporation
counsel in charge Of claims called
attention to the fact that such
dangers occasionally are reported
and ut is felt there may be others
dangerous to life and limb that
have never come to police atten-
ton"
The police were directed to be
on a particular lookout in outlying
sections of the city. Those re-
ported will be investigated ny the
corporation counsel ito ascertain
the best procedure to abate the
condition"
The warning came as an alter
math to the Kathy Fiscus tragedy
IN California two weeks ago.

Irrigation

much to do with agricultural de-
velopment of the state. 1t stimulated
migration to the west, encouraged
immigration from foreign countries,
since aliens who had declared their
intentions to become citizens could
participate on equal terms with ma
tive Americans in grants of public
land.
In many ways, the terms of the
Carey act paralleled those of the
homestead law. The admission of
aliens as participants, the exclusion
of married women, the amount of
land allowed each settler-all were
the same as in the earlier legislation
Also, rules requiring continuous oc-
cupation of farms, amounts to be
placed under cultivation, tracts only
in regular divisions, lie, 40, 80, 120
Or 100 ere each, were similar when
not identical.
However, a farmer who had used
his homestead right might still pur-
chase a farm under the Carey act.
Individuals Do Work
Actual work of reclamation was
to be done by individuals or corpora
tons with the approval of the state,
which applied to the federal gov
eminent for patents on the land
when the conditions for its complete
ownership was fulfilled.
The settler paid to the state, when
he filed his claim, $3.50 an acre, plus
81 registration fee. Five dollars OF
the $3.50 an acre was applied to q
permanent water right, which was
to cost $40 per acre, and to be paid
In annual installments over a period
of IA years.
Later legislation changed many o.
the provisions of the Carey act, in
Guiding the length of time allowed
for payment in full of water right
The law, however, as passed in 189'
and amended during the next de
cade and a half, fathered irrigation
projects in Montana, before beinI
absorbed by the present reclamation
bureau.
Ten years were allowed from tn
time a state applied for federal land
until that state was expected t
have settlers on actual farms and
portion of each farm cultivated
Should the legal amount of advance
ment fail of accomplishment in tn
time allotted, the secretary of tn
interior could, at his discretion

grant a five year extension, or e
turn the land to the public domain.
Desert Land
Land was classified as desert If it
would not, under cultivation, pro-
duce paying crops, if 1t had insult
ficient moisture to grow trees; or if,
though ungrazed, it did not in nor
NAL years have sufficient grass to
make a fair cutting of hay.
Analysis of Montana soil proved
it to be rich in the minerals needed
to grow grain. Chemical reports on
a sample of soil from the Conrad
Waller district showed it TO have
enough nitrogen to produce 80 bu-
shells of wheat to the acre for 124
years, phosphoric acid for 405 and
lime to last 21,000 yearsi
Development at first was ham,
pered by lack of funds, for the ap-
preparations made by the first state
legislatures to act upon irrigation
plans were too small to pay the
salary of a state engineer.
No Government Construction
It was not, at that time. the inten-
ton of the government to finance
construction of dams, canals and
bitches, any more than to level the
land. Such work was the concern
of states affected and of the indi-
viduals who would benefit.
But the undertaking was too great
to be carried out by private capital.
In successive amendments, greater
sums and a greater freedom of ac-
ton to the men charged with the
work were allowed.
Eventually a revolving fund was
established, which used moneys col
lected from the sale of public land
to improve certain designated areas
and, as agriculture repaid the ex'
pense incurred in it's development
these farm dollars were applied Il
further reclamation.
Anyone interested in the yirtu.
of irrigation a see its justification
in snug buildings, neat groves, ia
cattle, and the beautifully regu1a
growth ia fields and gardens on an,
of the projects. Irrigation presup
poses small farms, given to a divers
ity of crops which utilize the vast

other.

Chairman Suys
She's Pleased
With turnout.

Mrs. Frank Beste, chairman of
the field committee of the Ken.

pressed her appreciation for the
large turnout at the regular
weekly meeting of the commit.
tee held in the fund drive office
in the Bateman building Tues.
day evening.
Mrs. Beste said that it was the
most successful meeting held
to date and that all of the vice
chairmen and their assistants
have shown wonderful coopera-
ton. 1T is certainly gratifying
to see SO many people come
down in the evening and take
part in these meetings. It would
take months to organize this
drive if we had to talk to each
person individually. When the
entire committee gets together
we have the benefit of so many
points of view, and the questions
asked bring on discussion which
clarifies the entire problem"
she said.
Page H. Carter, drive director,
addressed those attending the
meeting and outlined the specif.
ic responsibilities of the vice
chairmen and their assistants.
He pointed out that there are
eight districts each in charge of
a vice chairman. Five assistants
are assigned to each district who
are responsible for different Sec
tons Of the district. The assist
ants are the people who super
wise the contacts made by the
field workers. Each assistant
chairman assigns five field
workers to his or her section of
the district. The field worker
in turn appoints an assistant.
The field worker and assistant
each have a maximum of six
homes to canvass usually in.
GLIDING his own family. In this
manner the job has been made
as simple as possible and no
worker is overburdened.
