IRRIGATION PARTY HAVE fine TRIP
Members Of North Dakota Party Return From
Montana Much Pleased With Trip
to Irrigation Belt

A little worn and tired from their
four days journey, but all enthusiastic
in praise of their reception by the peo-
pie of Billings and Bozeman, the thirty
farmers and property owners in the
proposed irrigation district returned
Saturday evening from their trip. All
were enthusiastic in their declarations
regarding the Montana irrigation belt.
Members of the party saw what has
been done with irrigation in the coun-
try about Billings and Bozeman. They
saw the Gallatin valley made doubly
and trebly fertile and productive by
the application of water to the land
through irrigation. They shook ripe
cherries from the trees, saw great
green acres of alfalfa, enough raised
from section of land to winter thous.
ands of head Of sheep, had a luncheon
at the ranch of 1. J. O'Donnel, one of
the pioneers in irrigation near Billings
and who has grown from a position
as cowboy to that of owner of an
immense ranch, with wealth estimated
in six figures, in the past ten years
It was an eye opening trip to the mem
hers of the party and has given the
irrigation movement in this section q
distinct impetus.
The party left on special cal
Wednesday last. They visited Bill
lings and Bozeman, at both of which
towns they were met by the leading
resi5ertts OF the city, with teams ant
rigs prepared to drive them through
the irrigation district. No pains were
spared by the citizens of the two
towns to entertain the guests from
North Dakota. Advanced information
of their coming had been sent, anG

ed generosity that characterizes the

people Of the west, the residents of
these Montana towns were on hand to
greet them. 1t was splendid oppor-
tunity for the North Dakotans to OBJ
serve the wonders that have been
worked by irrigation in these western
valleys. Great fields of alfalfa, wheat,
oats and other products lay before
them, testifying to the remarkable
productiveness of the soil with an as
sured water supply. They saw fields
of oats that have produced 140 bushels
to the acre-wheat that has produced
fifty to seventy-five bushels, and
alfalfa where a few acres furnishes an
abundant supply for many sheep and
cattle. Billings they found thriving
town of nine or ten thousand people,
with splendid buildings, and rich out
lying country, grown richer through
irrigation. Bo2eman they found equal
ly prosperous with millions of bank
deposits in valley the total popula-
ton of which is no larger than the
average North Dakota country. All
these things they saw and they re-
turned satisfied that in irrigation lies
the secret of prosperity in the great
| west and that in an assured water
supply there lies the greatest blessing
possible to the agriculturalist
H. A. Savage, one of the leading
officials Of the reclamation service,
was among those to greet the party
and point out the features CT the irri-
! cation movement in Montana Other
local business men were equally ready
to point out the workings of irrigation
to the visitors. All members of the
party agree that it was a splendid trip
and should do much to convince the
doubling ones of the lasting and GER
tain benefits of irrigation

NORTH DAkoTA's FIRST BANK.

In an article upon the meeting of
the North Dakota bankers association
at Grand Forks the Herald says:
| Way back in 1873 Bismarck was a
lively town. 1t was railroad head
quarters for large section of coun-
try and the steamboats, were doing
big business up and down the Missouri
river, connecting there with the rail-
road. 1t was an Quitting point also
for passengers going to the mining
sections. The need of banking facili-
ties were manifest and Messrs. J. w.
Raymond and George H. Fairchild,
who were conducting a general mer-
chandise store for the accommodation
of the public, opened a bank in a tent
adjoining their store, as a side ISSUE
The front of the tent was ornamented
with a large sign with Bank in gold

was hardly safe to carry large
amounts of cash about on ones person,

The Herald is in error, however, in
stating that Messrs. Raymond and
Fairchild are still engaged in the
banking business at Bismarck. Mr..

MAJOR MURPHY

A M1not telegram says: Major J. S.
Murphy, one of the most prominent
citizens of Minot, and a. former leader
OF the republican party in the state of
North Dakota, is accused of uttering
forged road tax receipts from the
townships of Ross and Manitou, Ward

case are for sums of $245 and 1921
respectively and the offense is alleged
to have been committed during the

TREE PLANTING
'''. > ON The PRAIRIE
Farmers Should Choose Trees for
Their Timber as Well as for Their
Rapid Growth.


In the states Of the middle west
| there is pressing need of more trees
both for wood and for windbreaks and
| shelter-belts. This need has been
| felt since the prairies we're first set.
| tied, but the attempts made to supply
! it have, as rule, fallen short of the
benefits which might have been Sc.
cured. The early planting was done
chiefly for the sake of ornament or
shade; the usefulness of the species
| for wood was seldom considered. In
many cases, also, trees were planted
outside Of the range to which they
were adapted, and on soil and in loca
| tons unfavorable to them. On the
| other hand, many valuable species
were neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various
kinds of trees can be grown in these
regions which will serve just as we'll
for protection and ornament as those
which have been most used, and which
at the same time will furnish valuable
wood. For several years the bureau
of forestry has been investigating this
subject, with results which are
recognized throughout the prairie
region as of great practical value.
The work consists of field studies of
the existing forest growth, both
natural and planted, of its relation to
soil and climatic conditions, and of
the effect of various cultural methods.
In carrying on the work bureau field
parties examine and make measure
ments Of representative groves From
these measurements volume and yield
tables are made which show the re-
turns in cordwood, posts, stakes, and
lumber to be expected in a given time
for each of the species studied. In
addition to the measurements, the
characteristics of growth and repro
duction of the trees are noted, and
valuable data on the natural distribu-
ton and advisable planting range
obtained.
The work in the eastern part of the
two Dakotas, western Minnesota,
Illinois, eastern Nebraska. and west
erp Kansas is already done. A bulle-
tin based ON the study in western
Kansas has been published, giving in
formation concerning the species most
suitable to the locality. and telling
how and where to plant them. Bull
letins of the same character covering
other states are in preparation. This
summer Iowa will be studied, and later
other states OF the middle west, until
the whole region is covered. Con-
siderable tree planting has been done
In some OF these states, occasionally
with complete success; but there have
been many total failures, and many at
tempts successful only in part. As 4
rule, the lack OF success was due to-
lack Of knowledge how and what to
plant. But these plantations, whether
successful or not, provide valuable ob

, cut off part of the program, although
the horse racing furnished sport for
the early evening. At supper time a
clown or mud dance furnished amuse-
ment for the camp. This was given
by some half dozen men dressed in
various fantastic ways, few as
white men and women, and all SO
masked and plastered with mud as to
be unacceptable. With a small
drum and a pony they passed from
tent to tent burlesquing everything
from the Indian dancing to the white
mans gentlemanly ways.
The best part of the celebration, &C
cording to the taste of the majority of
the Indians was their dance which
continued all through the next day.
For this large circular booth of cot
| tonwood trees had been put up. In
the center were stacked some twenty
boxes of crackers, scores of cans of
fruit and meat, and pans of fried
bread for the feast. Before the feast
began the elaborate ceremonies for
the presentation of gifts took place
intersperced with dancing by the men

on bench within the booth are very
gay in their costumes Of many colors

at the dance and so he brought the
picture. Outside the BOOTH" he said,
there is horse and buggy. Ny two

Bull to receive the two sticks which
represented the memorial gift in honor
of his gransons. Bad Gun and his two
sons were the next to occupy atten-
ton. They brought two ponies into
the center of the booth. Although
the two young men needed nothing
more than their costumes to attract
attention. Their faces were painted
