PLENTY OF ROOM At THE TOP
Charles Noble Gregory Gives Address On
Making Of Lawyers

Charles Noble Gregory Gives Address On
Making Of Lawyers.
Charles Noble Gregory, assistant
dean of the law school of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, addressed the Civic
section of the College Endowment as
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon on am
erican Lawyers and their Making"
telling the clubwomen something of
the technical training that the frater-
nifty must undergo to be allowed to
practice and defending against all ira
ducers and critics the honor and glory
of the profession. The ever-increasing
number of lawyers in America Mr..
Gregory attributed to the opportunities
the profession offered for public pref
erment as we'll as peculiarly gains, and
while the bottom of the ladder was
crowded with struggling under-paid
advocates, there was still plenty OF
room at the top. But there is clergy
man for every lawyer. and there are
many more physicians and surgeons
than lawyers, despite the official fig
ures of the census which puts the ratio
at one lawyer to every 1858 men. In
| China there are no lawyers at al, but
| the custom of criminal torture prevails
there in all it's horror; and in Russia
there is but one lawyer to every 81 900
persons-facts in which Mr. Gregory
found argument going TO show that
| where civilization is highest there the
lawyer is in greatest demand. the sup
ply, he felt assured, being entirely legu-
lated by the demand. The power Of
the American judiciary, which exceeds
the power Of the legislative depart
ment of government and is unique
among the judiciaries of the world, is
another thing that contributes to the
glory of the American bench and bar,
whil2. the single fact that with the ex-
ceptfon of soldiers chosen in times OF
war every American president has
been lawyer, is proof of the honors
that are possible in the profession. But
because of all this the lawyer has
! greater responsibilities in America
than almost anywhere else, and the
first Of his duties. Mr.. Gregory regard
ed as his duty to his fellow men. 1t
was his province to assist in the work
of reform by using his legal ability
for wise drafting of necessary laws,
and in almost every phase of legisla-
ton for the public good the lawyer 10

FIND WATER IN THE DESERT.

clentiful Flow Is struck in Mojave
Desert by Prospectors.
The Mojave desert. located in the
southeastern portion Of the state, has
long been regarded as dangerous to
life and yalueless for any purpose,
says the San Francisco Argonaut.
True, it was known that the arid land
could be rendered fruitful by means
of irrigation. but there was no water
there and none could be obtained
without a heavy expenditure. The
only plan proposed that promised re-
lief was the construction of immense
reservoirs in the mountains to retain
the storm water for a long distance
during the summer. This meant
state government nor the federal gov
eminent has as yet expressed will
ingness to incur it. Life on the desert
when not positively dangerous. is
crowded with hardships. but hardships
have no deterrent effect upon the
searchers for gold. and lately the waste
places of the desert have been invaded
ny du army VI pTUSpeClOIS lOT OlI. ne
theory upon which they proceeded was
that the Kern river oil belt extends
through the Mojave desert. Whether
or not there is any virtue in this
theory. the facts so far developed have
not justified it, No oil has been found,
but water in considerable quantities
has been struck and at the present
time this is more valuable than the
oil would have been. Artesian water,
| If sufficient quantity can be found
| is much better than the retained and
| ditched storm water would have been
since there is less expense for hand
| ling and less loss from evaporation
Three wells have been developed al
ready. The third struck the water at
depth of 1876 feet, which is much
more shallow than would be required
for an oil we'll. All Of them are said
to be .gushers,' and the latest flows
2l5 miners inches. If the water belt
should prove to be permanent and ex-
| tensive a rush to this region and
something very like land boom may
be looked for

purpose. l am positive that there
would not be a solitary man who would
demand his salary or per diem. The
only expense Of the members would be
board in Helena for two days, and
believe every member of the legislature
would be glad to donate that much.
There would be no other expense.
Every member of the legislature has
an annual pass; if any one of them is
shy, the railroads have sufficient in
terest in this matter to furnish Il pass,
but don't believe there is a man who
is without one.
SIT is probable that the city or the
citizens of Helena would donate a hall
for the meeting. We could elect clerk
from our number, so that there would
be no employees to be paid.
Il believe this is a good plan and
thin!, every member of the legislature
would gladly go to Helena for the two
days necessary. am sure they can
all afford the slight expense. Even if
there were few absentees, that would
make no difference, as it would only
be necessary to have quorum. There
might be a little difference Of opinion
among the members as to the amount
that should be appropriated, but de
bate could be all over in few hours.

figure

THE TRUEST HERO.
He Is the Man Who Knows Fear and
Fights Against 1t.

He Is the Man Who Knows Fear and
Fights Against 1t.
1T is so easy to inlsCake DraVadO for
bravery and recklessness for courage"
says Richard Harding Davis in Ev-
erybody's Magazine. and it is always
necessary to discriminate sharply be-
tween the man who docs not know
fear and the man Who knows it in all
Its sickening horror, and who fights
against it and persists in his duty.
People always speak of the man "who
does not know what fear is as though
the fact were something greatly to his
credit. Instead of which, of course. it
is something for which he is only to
be envied. and for which he should
be most grateful. A man who
smokes a lighted cigar over a powder
magazine if he does not know It is a
powder magazine performs no surpris-
ing feat, and praises bravery which
comes from ignorance of fear is like
applauding man because he is not i'll
at sea. The ships steward, who Is so
sick that he cannot hold up his head.
but who forces himself to perform his
duties, is better man than the stew
ard with the cast-irOn stomach who
laughs at him. The latter is in the
same class with the hero who does
cot know fear"

ENACTMENT LOOKS FAvORA13L

AS the time approaches everyone in
this end of the state become more con-
cerned in the possibility of congress
taking favorable action in the segrega-
ton of that part of the Grow reservation
prescribed i'll the bill presented last
which, through the nstrumentality of
Congressman Mondell Of Wyoming
failed to reach the house.
The enactment of this bill not only
means much to Rosebud county and
other adjacent country, but the state,
as it will materially increase the pop
uiation and wealth and the develop
ment of one of the be st adapted farm
ing and stock raising districts in the
west.
The proposed measure provides for
opening up for settlement, 1880, 900
acres preservation land, on which with
the proper application of water, or
which there is an abundance. crops
may be raised that would surpass any
in the northwest, as the altitude, eli
mate and natural conditions are most
favorable to the farmer and also
stock grower. At present the reser-
walton covers a vast area I 900. 600
acres and with the passage of the
bill it will result in the development Of
considerable land that is now unpro-
ductive. After the segregation of that
portion as proposed in the measure,
the Crows, of which there are now
1000, would have 200 acres to each
individual and as it is provided, they
are to receive 81 per acre, or 81, 500, 900,
of which $3.50 900 is to be set aside for
the purchase of cattle to be distributed
among them, they will be better fixed
than at present The act further pro
vides for schools and hospitals, for the
fencing of the reservations for the com
pletlon of the elaborate system Of irii
CATION commenced ten years ago. and
for the deposit of the remainder in the
United States treasury SO that each
Indian viii! draw one dollar a month.
There is but little doubt that the
measure will become a law at the next
session of congress, as Senator Clark
has signified his approval of it and
promised to do all in his power to bring
about its passage. The Indian con-
mission have begun to realize that the
future welfare of the red men depends
on just such enactments, and as tie
Crows approve of the plan. everythirg
looks favorable for the timely settle
ment of these lands.
