THE CONSOLIDATION

Many people are apparently disturbed
over the possibility that the marked move
ment in the consideration of city banks may
spread to the country and finally result in
the establishment in rural districts OF a sys-
tenn Of branch banking
Only a slight analysis of the situation is
necessary to enforce the conclusion that
such fear is without foundation. 1t is
against the temper OF the American people,
and it is wholly improbable that the legisla-
ton necessary to egalize branch banking in
the United States can be obtained Why?

believed by some people. \ young
woman who was brought up by her
New England grandmother, Il notable
housekeeper and example of thrift,
says that the adage was a household
guide in her family.
One day her grandmother went off
to pay a visit. and the ambitious girl
of sixteen scrubbed and polished, swept
and busted until it seemed as if there
was nothing left to do. Her heart beat
high with the hope of Il word Of COM
mendation as she sat in the kitchen
doorway waiting for her grandmother
return.
When the old lady arrived she looked
about her with keen eyes, but there
seemed no chance for criticism until,
STOPPING down under the kitchen table
which stood near the open door, she
saw that the south wind had waited a

MONTANA IRRIGATION LAWS.

In view of the fact that the federal
government proposes to reclaim large
areas of arid land in Montana, and
that the conveyance of water to such
land will be regulated by the state
laws, there is a probability that the
coming legislature will be asked to
revise our present water right enact
ments. In his report to Governor
Toole, this subject is treated at length
by +. II. Ray, assistant state ex-
amlner, who expresses the opinion
that the agricultural resources of
Montana show greater promise Of dc
velOpment than stock raising or min
ing. TO encourage this agricultural
development, Mr.. Ray urges that our
irrigation laws be modelled upon Il
plan that will remove many of the OBJ
iectionab!e provisions no int force. In
his communication to the governor,
Mr.. Ray says:
"Since 1896 MOntana's irrigation
laws nave uppcdieu III government
reports as conspicuous examples OF
bad laws, but as yet nothing has beer
done to remedy them and today thes,
