In looking back over the proceedings OF
the irrigation convention, II IL pleasing to
note that tho members In general fully APP
preciats the importance OF increasing the
number OF small farms to supply tbs pro-
duce that ia o brought In from other
states ut . cost Of . ooupls Of millions AL
nually, says tho Billings Times. There are
a few pessiinists who say there nrs too
many. farms now. and that instead 81
more consumers. One Qentlman who was
at the convention advanced the exttaordi-
nary proposition that Montana should mo-
have any more farmers. because Colorado
and other states sell their surplus
products to Montana consumcra This
very strongest encouragement for grow
Ing the same products In Montana, to
take the place OF those shipped In from
distant points. aud keep tho money ut
homo. lii pars to grow these products on
acre. and ship them 1000 miles TO the Mon
tana consumers. it would pay much better
TO grow Thorn in Montana and save tho
heavy cha gos on tho long trail. We have
always believed that the long trail from
mansnt and most sfsctna! protection to
tho Montana producer. and certainly the
high express charges on perlshable pro.
ducts must leave = coed masgin for those
who will take the trouble to provide small
fruits. vegetables. eggs, butter, etc., for
the Montana markets.
II il probable that many land owners
look upon these products as too insignid-

However. very valuable land il devoted to
such industries. with satisfaction and
profit to tho owners. For instance. there

persistently refuses an offer Of 25 cents Der

reasonable TO suppose that some of the
cheap lands Of Montana might be prontably
employed in that and Other insignificant
industries.
The idea OF checking the immigration Of
farmers until there are moro consumers in
the way OF manufactured and their en-
ployes ia absurd. Manufacturers will not
establish themselves in the West until there

capitalists with sufficient confidence to in

the percentage of consumers. and gives sta
bility to all the industrial enterprises that
follow.

are red and yellow, in bands, dots,

A Borneo Superstition.

The pearl hunters of Borneo and ad.
jacent islands have peculiar super
stition- When they open shells in
search of pearls, they take every ninth
find, whether it be large or small, and
put it into bottle with q dead mans
finger. They are kept and are known
as 'seed pearls" OF breeding pearls, y
and the natives of the islands men
toned firmly believe that they have
the powers of reproducing their kind.
For every pearl put into the phial, two
grains of rice are thrown in for the
pearls to feed" upon. Some of the
white gem hunters of Borneo believe
in the superstition as firmly as the ma
tives do. 1t is said that nearly every
hut along the coast has its dead fin
ger" bottle with from nine to ten times

caying digit and the rice carefully

the astonished lady in no measured

having done anything to offend him.
''Then what did you mean by your tel

said, of course What are you talking
about?" Read it for yourself" said
he. She read: 81 flee with Mr.. X. to
