Judging from the number of fruit

there ought to good sized or

profitably grown in this valley.
The first legal hanging in Cascade
county is advertised to take place on
June 17th at Great Falls. George Hli
boka is the individual who will pose as
the central fignro upon that occasi »n.
Hliboka had the bad taste to murder in
cold and brutal fashion his companion,
who, at the time happened to hnve upon
his person a roll of money. The hang
ing of Hliboka will no doubt he set
down as a red letter event for the people
of Great Falls. It certainly will be a
momentous occasi n for Hliboka.
To the people who have been axious
abont the actual starting of work on the
Milk river project the news th it a million
and a half bus been set aside to start the
work will be an assurance that it is wel
come. To the doubters and pessimists
who have predicted loug delay and per
haps abandonment the appropriation will
come as a surprise. But by all it must
be accepted as the final decision of the
government to take up the work of con
struction, and that much land m north;
era Montana will soon be ready for settle
merit. It has been known for some time
that the government had passed favor
ably upon this project, and a few weeks
ago Senator Gibson brought back word
from Washington that construction
would be commenced this summer, and
the dispatch frurn Washington merely
corroborates this previous information.
As is generally understood the first work
undertaken in the lower valley,
and will irrigate about3o,ooo acres below
Malta. The water will be taken from
Milk river and will bo stored in a reser
voir. From there it will be carried in a
main canal bo as to cover the land, and
trom the main canal the settlers will
take it to cover their locations. It is
not possible for the work to be com
pleted so that an>’ irrigation can be done
thin year, but it is believed that by nest
spring the work will have bo far pro
gressed that settlers can take up the
land with an assurance that the water
will be available for them.

Persons interested in wild flowers

gathered In Massachusetts for sule In
such quantities, and so steadily sought
by frequenters of suburban woods, that

remedy suggested is that care be used
to cut rather than pull the flowers, so
that the roots need not la- disturbed;
and that those who gather rare plants
for the market should be discouraged
by lack of patronage.
