THE CONTEST
Several Chouteau County Young Ladies
Have Deposited Votes. The Ring is
Here on Exhibition in Lou Lucke's

Heirald's Voting ,Contest is
Most Auspicious.
TE STONE MOUNTEO IN TIFFINY
SETTING IS VALUED AT $2751
The Herald's diamond ring voting
contest, has ardused the interest of a
number of the young ladies of the
county and, as will be seen below
-some effort has already. been made
by'them to make aggood Mtart.
From no*. on.~the irnterest 'will
doubtless increase with each succeed
ingg week.
We experienced considerable. delay
iii eecuring the ring we had annouc
e. we would give away, and then did
not-' get a $250.00. stone, but we got
so. ething better. It came about in
this' way: Mr. F. B. Churchill wag
authorized to secure the ring and he
ordered out.,,from Chicago a . num-
ber of stones on examination; These,
to the number of four, arrived last
Thursday, but none came up to the
requirements as the largest in the lot
could be bought for $200.00. A telte
graphic order was sent immediately
and another consignmet was received
in response. From these we have se
lected a most handsome stone to cost
$275. That is $25 more than we ad
vertised last week, but we knlow that
all will agree with us that it is worth
the extra money.
Mr. F. B. Churchill, having severed
his connection with the Churchill Jew
elry Co., has mounted the ring on a

MATTERS OF
INTEREST
The work of organizing the Upper
Milk River Water Users' association
which shall hav'e charge of the set
tlers' side of the governmient irriga
tion work to be inaugerated soon in
the vicinity Chinook and Harlem 'has
been. started.
Mr. C. C. Babb, engineer in charge
of the government work on the Milk
River I~rgect was inf Chinook the first
of last week to see about the contract
between the ditch owners in the vi
cinity of Chinook and Harlem.:
By the terms .of the proposed con
tract, all. water. users under propos
ed St. Mary's-Milk Diver project who
are ditch owners.in the vicinity of
Chinook and Harlem -'vill limit their
prior water rights to the present ca
pacity fo their ditches as measured
by the hydrohgraphic survey, in case
the St. Mary's canal is not built .
The ditch owners to have a credit
of $12.50 per acre on the land now ir
rigated by them 'and as determined by
the reclamation department and spec
ified in the contract for their ditch
es and prior watei' rights, condition
ed upon the cbnstruction of the St.
Mary's canal.
Any appropriation received through
congress for the relief of the water
users of the. Milk River injuriously
affected by the recent decision in the
Indian water right suit to be' applied
to the cost of the St. Mary's can
al and as an off het for the credit of
$12.50 per acre of the land her.tofors
irrigated.
All credits to the ditch owners are
to be distributed to the owners of the
ditches in proportion to stock owner
ship and without reference to individ
ual acreage..
This contract has been approved by
the reclamation service and the people
all along the line have signified their
willingness to sign the contract. By
telegram from Washington Mr. Babb
is requested to have the Upper Milk
River Water Users' association organ
ized.
The organization s expected to build
and manage the canals between Yan
tic and Dodson. This request is very
suggestive of the attitude of the of
fice at Washington toward an early
completion of the St. Mray's-Milk Ri
ver systems.
The contract will obviate the neces
sity for the expensive litigation of the
water rights to Milk river and its tri
butaries and will protect the wat~r
users under the Dodson canals fnom
future increases by the Upper Water
Users association, and will insure the
co-operation of all the land owners
in the former and thereby diminish
the proportionate cost of the St. Mary
waters.
Mir. Babl4holds out considerable en
couragement in. favor of the Chain
Lakes reservoir, located , 15 miles
north of Havre.
The plans and specifications for th?
first fvie miles of the main' division
canal ahd dam at Dodson have been
prepared and forwarded to Washing
ton for fhe final approval of the head
of the department. From information
which comes from Washington it is
learned that these plans will shortly
be approved, and calls fdr bids fLr
this portion of the work will thEn be
made. The actual commencement o
the work may be looked for with'n
the next thirty days.
