THE state irrigation convention which
assemblies in this city next week is at
tracing widespread attention and IN
terest in it seems to be general. The
Butte Miner %eloquently says Of it:
The Montana irrigation convention,
which will be held in Helena on the 7th of
January, should be thoroughly representa-
tive. Every delegate able to attend ought
to be present. There should be no proxies.
Silver Bow county has the largest repre-
sentation Of any county in the state, and
though she is looked upon as a mining
county, not one of her delegates should be
absent. Irrigation means everything to
Montana. It means the dawning of an era
of prosperity beyond the dreams of the
most visionary enthusiast. It would make
Montana the agricultural garden of the
west, add millions of dollars to her pro-
duetivs domain, transform Barren wastes
into blooming gardens, dot uninhabited
valleys with cozy homes, and add to the
glory of her mining supremacy ar agricul-
tural grandeur az permanent as time and
as indestructible as the everlasting hills.
In this great work of reclamation and
Transformation Silver Bow and every other
county is interested, and the convention
should be representative, public spirited.
enthusiastic and impressive. The problem
to BIO discussed il one upon the solving of
which the future greatness of the state
largely depends. *
This is a broad and enlightened view.
No interest Of our state will derive more
benefit from the extension Of our agri-
cultural area than the great mining
industries. There is no reason why we
should not feed our own people instead
Of sending millions Of dollars out Of the
state every year to buy fruits, vegeta-
bles, ETC., that could be grown proita-
bly, and abundantly on u fertile soil
with irrigation.

usual rise and fall of the tide along that

This mud is too shifting to hold a YES

James Lane Allen has a story en-
titled "John Gray" in which he has
three remarks to make apropos to the
subject of marriage: "Some women in
marrying demand all and give all; with
good men they are happy; with base men
they are broken hearted. Some demand
everything and give little; with weak
men they are tyrants; with strong men
they are divorced. Every bachelor is
really the husband of an old maid. For
every single man carries around with
him the spirit of woman to whom he is
more or less happily welded. When a
man actually marries, this inner helm
mate wisely disappears in the presence
of her external contemporary"
