Water laws need revision in Montana irrigation policy
Frederick H. Newell of the U S reclamation service urges Montana to modernize water right laws to attract investors and settlers. He compares Idaho and Washington, noting rapid development and clear records of unappropriated water, while Montana lacks reliable data and faces potential litigation. He cites the Huntley project and overall progress, stressing irrigation farming as a science and the goal of homes and education, not millionaire wealth.

Milwaukee Buys the Yellowstone Park Railway
A report from Billings says the Chicago Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway has purchased the Yellowstone Park railway running from Bridger along the Clark's Fork valley to Belfry near Bear Creek. G B French is named to replace Frank A Hall as freight chief in Chicago. Milwaukee plans a branch through the city to connect with the Yellowstone line and extend to Cooke City on the National Park route. Other roads reportedly sought the line, with Milwaukee holding an option for some time. The route taps a rich coal field.
