In designating the prison where sen tence should be executed. Judge Van Fleet first named San Quentin peni tentiary, a state institution, after listening to arguments in which 'coun sel for the defense quoted the federal statutes and the cases to show that there existed no precedent and no clause of the law forbidding the court from specifying a county jail or a state penitentiary, instead of a federal penitentiary, when the term to be served was for more than one year For less than one year sentence to a county jail as mandatory. The family preferred a county jail "jnl Jude Van Fleet was willing to show them consideration but not to the full extent of their desires. They objected to San Quentin, where Diggs and Caminetti would associate with liouC4 breakers, highwaymen and pickpockets, so he amended the sentence to McNeil Island. C.

M. ST. P. DISSOLVES. Notice of dissolution of the Chicago Milwaukee St.

Paul Railway com puny of Montana, has been filed with the county clerk. Denuty Clerk King nrofi-sses of the reason for the dissolution. The presumption is ti nt, the dissolved corporation is siu- cceded by the Chicago, Milwaukee Puget Sound Railway company. The petition comes from silver Bow couu and these men have been untiring in their efforts along both lines and now declare that the realization of their dreams is "possible and even within a near future. The project, for which the surveys are being made, is considered by engineers of renoun to be full of merit and possibility, and is the only one of Its kind in the northwest, embodying as it does, the features of a large ir rigation a hydro-electric development, and a railroad.

fi. C. Lillis of Billings, has charge of the irrigation feature of the scheme. The center of the project is located it Hardin, a point some 50 miles east of Billings. This feature embraces the work of securing a water supply for irrigating approximately 100,000 acres of unusually fine bench lands lying on both sides of the Big Horn river, but mostly- on the west bank.

They extend td the mouth of the Big Horn canyon, where the stream has cut its way through the mountains for a Hstance of approximately 50 miles down the river. The benches which will be put under irrigation will aver-Jge about 2 and 1-2 miles in width. A. W. F.

Koch, of Sheridan, division engineer for the C. B. Q. R. R.

for many years in this territory, is in charge of the surveyors of the railroad feature of the project. Mr. Koch is assisted by F. Tanner of Hardin. Messrs.

Koch, Tanner, Harris and 'jawlor left Hardin on the 15th inst 'or the Big Horn conyon where the surveys were begun. From that point they are planning the preliminary surveys toward Hardin and Custer ris they proceed northward. Immedi- itely after this the crew headed by Mr. Tanner will set out to the Canon and survey northward under the line r)f survey adopted. i- .4 The railroad feature of the project ohsists of constructing a standard jsnise railroad through the irrigated ig Horn valley, connecting with the Northern Pacific railway at or near Custer, and also with the main line -f the C.

B. Q. R. R. at Hardin, and thence up the valley to the mouth of the canon.

The object if tne rauroad will be to make it pos able to market the products of the "eclaimed The railroad will be operated bj "lydro-electric power generated at the lam. The same dam which will be reciuired to raise the water for the system will also be used for developing power and will be 200 "eet high, and capable of developing horse power during the mini mum flow of the river. The 200-foot 'lam will take un about two-fifths of the fall of the riverjthrough the canon. This will permit of 37.500 horse nower being developed in the future. The Big Horn valley, the eastern extremity of the' Midland Empire, by 'eason of its natural resources, its S00 square miles of productive agricultural area, its dry and healthful "limate, its bountiful water supply, its ")0 miles of canon for storing and con serving the waters of the Big Horn iver for power and irrigation and the many miles of lake whitrh will result from storage, will all add to the attractions of the beau iful Big Horn mountains and will be the cause of considerable population there for farming lands which are now inaccessible.

For hundreds of miles about here and as far east as the Mississippi river there seems no means of developing power as cheaply and' of Mich volume as is afforded by the Eis Horn river in the canon, and under the triole featured development now planned.
