Supreme Court Upholds Montana Drainage District Law
The Montana Supreme Court ruled the drainage district statute constitutional and invulnerable to attack. In a test case by J M Johnston against Valley Center Drain District Big Horn County the court held that lands may be brought into districts and taxed for public use with proper notice and hearing. It rejected objections to jury trials equality of treatment and delegation concerns and affirmed the statute as a legitimate exercise of eminent domain.

Irrigation Project Aimed at Boosting Farm Productiveness
Mr Gerharz states landowners in the district have formed a joint plan under the 1909 law to hire consulting engineers for an irrigation project. If all goes well and the work follows its normal pace, completion is expected in 1923 with use starting the following year. The system would link to Milwaukee and Great Northern stations, aiding farmers in marketing.
