Three or four years ago, when our pond
was quite full of water, and the ducks
and geese were taking lots of comfort,
there came to us from some other pond
a strange bull-frog. He was whop-
ping big fellow. who made all our frogs
hustle around, and he had voice on him
which could be heard a full mile on a quiet
night. There was room enough for the
stranger, and we made him welcome, but
on the very first night of his stay he kept
US all awake and made no end of trouble,
Almost as soon as 1t was dark he took
his seat on q log in the middle of the pond
and cried out:
How! How! How! oh-h-h-h! How!
Howl Howl"

The GaIIatin County Senator Inter-
viewed in Washington.
FAV0RS HOLDING THE ISLANDS
We Must Extend Our Commerce or Ge
Left In the Race-Our Opportunity
Is In the Philippine Islands.

State Senator Charles w. Hoffman of
Gallatln county while in Washington.
u. o.. recently was interviewed on times
in Montana. Senator Hoffman is one of
the leading democrats in the state, and
Notwithstanding the position occupied
by his party he frankly stated that
times i'll Montana are good and that
labor is in demand at high prices. He
also came right out for holding the
Philippines.
| 81 have favored the free coinage of
silver, because, if enacted, the result
would be enormously beneficial to our
| people locally" said the senator. AT
the same time I recognized that the
people Of the east, with tremendous
financial and commercial interests.
ought to know something of monetary
questions. At any rate, we lost the
fight, and yet Montana is in highly
prosperous condition. Men who used
to be tramping about begging for food
and eager to work at any wages are
now extremely independent and take
their pick of jobs at nigh prices. When
such conditions exist people reason that
it is not wise TO make change and
that the party in power gets the benefit
of the situation.
Montana is for free silver still, but
the electoral votes are in the east.
Other issues have arisen also upon
which there is no unanimity of opinion
among democrats or republicans. As
far as the expansion question is con-
cerned, it seems to me that the over
whelming sentiment of the country is
to hold what we have acquired. We
must exteld our commerce or get left
in the race The most magnificent on
portunity of such extension is presented
through our ownership of the Philip
pines. What stupendous folly it would
be to renounce that ownership. 1t
would make us the laughing stock of /
the world and it wonld be an un-
paralleled act Of national imbecility."

TAKING THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
Preliminary Work of Collecting Data
Nov in ro1ress.

Nov: in Progress.
The preliminary work of the census
office in collecting data relative to the
arid and sub-humid regions shows that
during the past ten years vast areas
have been reclaimed by irrigation, both
by dltching from running streams and
drilling for subterranean waters.
Wonderful progress in shown in tho
methods of constructing canals, dams
and pumping machinery, and in the
ssanneg of distributing water. Modern
inventions in machinery have greatly
lessened the time labor, and cost of
construction and management and made
possible many gigantic enterprises of
land reclamation and water utilization.
Mountains have been tunneled and
whole rivers have been lifted from their
beds and spread over the valleys pre-
cisely as wanted. High up in the
ranges and on the elevated plateaus i'm
mense storage reservoirs have been con-
structed to impound the flood waters Of
the streams so that the thirsty land be-
low shall not suffer during the long
rainless summer.
AS the successful solution of the prob
lem of conservation of flood waters
means the reclamation of millions Of
acres of public land, the people natural
ly ask the government to promote
measures having this end in view. To
this demand the government responds.
Lands containing excellent reservoir
sites have been set aside and a thorough
study of the sources and perlnanence of
the water supply OF arid regions has
been made to enable congress 70 legis-
late with intelligence upon this impor-
tant subject.
In aid Of this work the twelfth census
will endeavor comprehensivelv to show
the present condition and values of
agriculture in the arid and sub-humid
regions; the length, irligable extent and
cost OF the various canals, wells, and
dltches the character, volume and con-
stancy OF water supply; systems en-
ployed in distribution; amount paid for
water and the crops, acreage and Weld
of irrigated farms.
This effort will be successful if those
interested in irrigation shall heartily CO.
operate with the census office and its
agents.
Within brief period the main sche-
dule for taking the census of irrigation
will be distributed, and Director Mer-
ram requests that all recipients prepare
to fill them out and to return
them promptly.

PREHISTORIC CIVILIZATION.
Today's DesOlation Was Once Garden.
Evidences of Ancient Irrigation.

Ioday's DesOlation Was Once a Garden.
Evidences of Ancient Irrigation.
One of the most marvellous engineer
ing accomplishments of ancient OF mod
ern times is shown in discoveries which
were made last year in the lava beds of
New Mexico. Thousands of years ago,
the geo.oIists tell US, a system of irrlga-
ton reservoirs and bitches was operated
in the Southwest which is not paralleled
by anything of this nature in the United
States today. The builders of these
works, a people older than the Pueblo
race, cultivated thousands of acres tf
now arid territory. Reservoirs were
constructed at the ba es Of mountains
to catch the flood waters before they
were absorbed into the loose and bottom
less sand, and the bitches, where they
ran through sand, were cemented to
prevent the waters escape.
Lava has flowed into some of these
yitches, once filled by sparkling water
in centuries gone by. What can have
been the history of this prehistoric race
Or what can have caused their disap-
pearance can only be conjectured
+ Unlike the ancients of other lands
these people have not left a complete
record of their glory and their downfall,
and whether it was the result of climatic
conditions or great upheavals or whether
they were supplanted by more warlike
and stronger races is mystery. That
they were highly developed, however,
in agriculture, which is the mother of
civilization, Is shown by the evidences
which they have left. Their canals
wind in and around for miles, showing
a superior engineering knowledge il
securing an exact and uniform fall; re-
vladuct5 were used in crossing
while network of distributing
dltches brought every ayaila BILE acre
into use for tillage. Vast fields of
waving grain and laden orchards mus5
have stretched away down the fertil
valleys, under the magic touch of water
for arid America where it has been re-
claimed through irrigation of today
yields extravagantly-and with such
development of a peaceful art must have
been likewise an advanced state OF civil
ization. Here was no irrigation by in
ilvldual owners or diverters of water,
but great system covering a large
area, carefully thought out and operated
by central bead for the greatest good
0f the many and the utilization of the
greatest possible acreage.
And it seems strange in the present
era Of great progress and vast under
Jakings that this section Of the country,
once the most highly cultivated of the
should now be an arid and
;heerless waste with a torrid sky and
parched EARTH even while the same rain
fall of ages past still continues year by
year, and the water fupply is still there,
only awaiting it's utilization by man.

The indications are that the rush to

summer will equal that of Klondike n

ions which the Canadian authorities per-
petrated on Americans will not be re-

from any part Of the world here are
hopes that the new diggings will be richer
than any found in Canada. II the ex-
pectations Of the experts are borne out
the United States in 1900 and 1901 will
go to high rank among the gold -produc-
ing countries. There is belief, indeed,
that the deposits in the Cape Nome
region are more widely extended than
are those even in South Africa, which are
the richest thus far found anywhere in
the world. The United States has prob
ably, when all its gold and silver mine S
are taken into the account, more of the
