This looks like a fine bit of land"
said he, looking across the fields, whit

"Middlin' good" replied Uncle Amos,

YES" aifNorton, ''I'm an engineer.
But we were speaking of the farm"
He paused, glancing toward the
house, where, in the lighted doorway,
the motherly form of Mrs. Lawrence
appeared with Dolly beside her. The
little girl advanced timidly along the
path toward the WE'LL She paused at
six PAGES distance and seemed to hest

"Well, little one?" queried Uncle
Amos.
Mother told me could come out to

"Come along, then" said her father,
extending his arms.
But the child did not move, except to
| raise one hand to her round little

night, Mr.. Nortonv' and fed into the
house SO fast that it seemed the young

COMPLETE FOR THIS SEASON.
Geological Survey Has Quit for the
Year in Northern Montana.


Year in Northern Montana.
G. c. Babb, of the United States
geological survey, has left for Wash
ington, d. G. Work in the field is
practically over A party or two is
out yet, but their work is about
done. The Marias parties have COM
pleted their work for the season, and
have gone south to work in Arizona.
Mr.. Babb will spend some time in
Washington before taking active
charge in the field again.
!. Speaking of the work done in
northern Montana this season, he
said: THE several surveying par
ties have accomplished a wonderful
amount of work, especially in the st.
Mary's region. There our hardest
work has been done. Much also has
been accomplished in the matter of
stream measurements. We are Sc
curing data of great value to the de-
partment in its efforts to execute the
irrigation laws. We have established
stations to ascertain the flow of the
Marias, Swift Current and various
streams. All this has direct bear
ing upon the irrigation plans of
northern Montana. Our forces will
be in the field again next season, and
will probably complete much of the
| work. After the construction of res
ervoirs is actually begun there will
| be much work for the survey"
Mr.. Babb appeared confident that
work of construction would begin
next year, but would not commit him
self to any such statement. Stream
measurement is his speciality, al
though he had charge of all the nu-
merous surveying parties around St
| Marys. He stated that there is a
| great misconception as to what the
| federal government was to do in the
scheme of national irrigation. He
said that there is a prevalent idea
that the government will bring water
upon each quarter section This is
an error" said Mr. Babb. mo such
plans have ever been contemplated
The government contemplates build
| luS Only luG HALL CdHdlS. L he ulo
tributing systems must be built by
the owners of the soil. Mr.. Maxwell
has we'll stated the dangers in this
distribution. The right to use water
from the main canals should become
appurtenant to the land irrigated ,ant
should pass from owner to owner
and be vested in the user only"
While Mr.. Babb is more interested
in the engineering problems confront
ing those who have the matter il
charge, he has evidently studied thu
whole problem of irrigation, and n
seems assured that nothing short o
complete success will follow tn
committing of the national govern
ment to the policy of federal aid.
H. L. Baldwin, the biographies
surveyor in charge of that line c
work in this section, has gone cas-
All the goods of the survey hay

could be readily transferred. The
work is not complete, however, an

resumed in the spring.

The Orange In SDRfn.

1t is considered very healthful thing
to eat an orange before breakfast. But
who can eat an orange well? One
must go to Spain to see that done. The
senorita cuts off the rind with her
silver knife, then, putting her fork into
the peeled fruit, she detaches every
morse1 with her pearly teeth and con-
tinues to eat the orange without losing
a drop of the juice and lays down the
core with the fork still in it.

A Thanksqivlna Dinner.

Heavy eating is usually the first
cause of indigestion. Repeated at
tacks inf1ame the mucous membranes
lining the stomach, exposes the
nerves of the stomach, producing a
swelling after eating, heartburn,
headache, sour risings and finally
catarrh of the stomach. Kodol re-

nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol

you don't believe Beckley'n press
me?' said the farmer, with almost
painful slowness of enunciation.
You're a darn liar, an in my opinion
you've never ben anything else from
first to last of this business"
He picked up his hat from the floor
and stalked out of the office.
The worst part of trouble is taking it
home, especially when one has decided
that it would better not be mentioned.
When Uncle Amos was met by Dolly
at the gate that afternoon as usual, he
could not lift her up in his arms as he
had always done before because cf the
weight of the heart in his breast that
had wearied him. Mrs. Lawrence,
looking out from the porch, knew that,
something was wrong before her hus-
band had taken three steps in the
yard, and, though she was not aware
that he had seen Barring that day, she
guessed the cause; but. being the right
kind of wife, she did not speak of it.
Anything in the mail?" she asked.
81 forgot to look into the office,' said
Uncle Amos. 'Fll go down tomorrer
mornin'. But there won't be nothin'."
=
A bronzed and handsome young man
in raiment of the best, yet not too fine,
gave cheerful greeting to a blue uni
| formed boy who opened the door for
| him.
There's somebody waiting for you,
SIR" said the boy, indicating by wave
of his hand the reception room, which
was at the right of the private offices.
"He said it was personal matter. He
was here before we opened up, in the
hall outside. His names Lawrence"
| Thunder said the young man, and
| for a moment he looked like one who
can't quite face the situation. Then he
shook himself together and walked
into the reception room, where Uncle
Amos Lawrence had been pacing up
and down for an hour. He turned
hastily, yet stiff1y, hearing footsteps.
Norton, entering the room, flung out
both hands as one who wards off an
attack.
'Now, don't say a wordr' he cried.
"You got my letter? All right. It's a
trifle. You see, / couldn't let any such

Unemployed Men Leaving Butte at a
Lively Rate.
There is a rush of unemployed mea
from Butte to other sections OF the
country. Nearly every train leaving
the city carries away from to 1s
whose destinations are fields in
jority of them, however, are bound
for various parts of Arizona, the
Canejo district in particular, with
Bisbee and Mojave counties as Sec
ond and third choices, respectively.
Some are going to Colorado, some to
Michigan, some to the Occur d'Alene
country and some to Park City, Utah,
where, it is said there is considera-
BILE work being done in the mines.
The stampede is not an after cleo
ton matter, for the railroad agents
say that it has been in progress for
about three months. Since the cleo
ton, though, the rush for other Sec
tons has been somewhat heavier
than before. Many of those who are
shifting scenes are known as eli
mate seekers" that is, they spend
the summer and fall in the north and
go south before winter sets in. AS
soon as spring opens they will return
to Butte, where the climate during
that season and the summer months
is more to their liking than that of
the hotter climates of the south.
Many of those who have gone to
Arizona said before starting that it
was their intention to return to Mon
tana in April.

Octopuses are pretty plentiful in Jap
anese waters and have been known
to attack fishermen in their boats.
When this hideous monster assumes
the aggressive, the only chance the
fishermen have is to lop Off the tenta-

boat may be upset and the men
dragged under. The octopus is highly
valued in Japan as an article of food.

vealed a ticket there, which proved
upon inspection to be satisfactory.
In the next seat rearward were two
men who glanced at the conductor and
nodded Familiarity. The elder of them
had high shoulders, rather too heavy
for the rest of his figure; a long face
and a prominent nose, slightly red
dened at the end. He also had fat
hand, which was always ponderously
busy when he talked.
"You don't show up with the money.
