We are much obliged to you, bro

especially for a monstrous hunk of
taffy smeared upon our editor, who is
too youthful and modest to permit
its reproduction. 1t is great stuff,
though, and we repeat our oft reiter-

A "catchy" new song, entitled
Society SAM" words and music by
Mrs. Eleanor E. Brewer, of White
Sulphur Springs, Mont, lies on our
table. In this production, the song
writer has manifested a remarkable
gift in the musical art, sufficient to
bring her prominently before the
public as a composer Of song and
harmony. All lovers of music
should write the author for a copy of
this rare selection, and also for the
"McKinley two-step," which is now
process of publication. We wish
the author every oce in her
work and hope to see more of her
composition in future. +

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The national irrigation congress
is in session, at Phoenix, Ariz., and
there are strong hopes of the results
of its deliberations assuming prac-
teal form.
From central Kansas to the Sierra
Nevadas, nearly one half of the area
of the United States, the soil is rich,
temperature favorable, and seasons
long enough to make it the garden
spot of the world. But the rainfall
is reduced from 35 a AZ inches in
the Mississippi valley to 8 q l2 in.
ches in. the western states.

ter visitor is the "Chinook' wind

off the Japan stream, sometimes
clearing the snow from prairies in

The question of agriculture in the
west hinges alone upon the subject
Of adequate moisture. For in the
valleys of streams there are prof.
table ranches and abundant harvests.
The whole question, then, is how to
supply the vast expanse of table
land with water. In Montana the
area of upland easily irrigable is
fully M fourth Of the whole, OF .25,.
100000 acres. Where such a stream
as the Missouri with its numerous
heavy tributaries can be utilized, it
becomes al urgent matter for gov

with his lance poised to be hurled at
his head the moment he should get near
enough to be sure OF his aim. dense
clump of mimosa concealed the ap-
preaching bull from the sight OF the
gauchO.
If Arlo failed to give his warning r..
to his friend. he did not remain mac
tive. but urged his horse ahead at the
top of its speed, and SO evenly were
these onsets made that it seemed GER
tain that a triple meeting would take
place at the converging point.
Bat Arlo realized that this must
prove fatal to his friend If not to him
self. and he suddenly raised his lasso,
and with that quick. dexterous move
ment peculiar to the master OF this
plant weapon, he sent the long line
whirrng through the air, the moose at
it's end settling over Icons shoulders,
Just as a loud below from the bull an
nounccd that it had seen him. At the
same moment Tippo threw his lance.
ArlO turned his horse sharply to the
right, and as the taut lasso Jerked Leon
forward upon the ground, Typos lance
whizzed harmlessly over him.
And then. before the wOud-be muir
derer was aware of his peril. the mad
dened bull was upon him, goring and
trampling him to death.
Having wreaked his vengeance upon
the enemy that he had found IN his
path, the brute dashed on across the
pampas. leaving the two boys unhurt.
You may be sure that they were thank
full for their deliverance, in spite OF
Typos awful fate.

Of the Columbia river, Oregon, are able
at ebbtide to lower bucket over the
side and bring up water fresh enough
for drinking purposes. This fresh wa
ter spreads out over the surface of the
ocean in the shape of fan, the apex
being the mouth of the Columbia. 1t
Is only about two feet in depth and If
the bucket is allowed to sink below
that depth the water with which it
Ia filled is strong ocean brine. There
are not many rivers In the world with
strength sufficient to send their waters
SO far out to sea, the principal exception
being the Amazon, which freshens the
ocean for twenty miles of it's mouth,
ships having filled their casks with
fresh water from the Amazon when out
of sight of land.
