Drainage Plans.

The state drainage commission
which was saved alive from the
ravages of the new code only by
the most vigorous efforts held it's
first meeting to prepare for the
work Of the season at st. Paul
this week. George A. Ralph of
Crookston will be retained as the
engineer Of the commission for
the ensuing two years, thus Civ
ing the state the services Of an
experienced engineer and of a
man who has made a detailed
study of the drainage needs of
the state. The commission has
$4,000 available for bitches this
year as we'll as an appropriation
for making a complete drainage
survey Of the state. bitches will
reconstructed only where state
lands may be benefited as this
of course is the ostensible pur.
pose for which the commission
exists, but in every CASE private
lands are also greatly benefited
and every ditch is a material help
in the general development Of
the state.

Census Enumerators.

The work Of selecting the cen
sus enumerators is now under
way, the positions being purely
political ones and the selection Of
the enumerators being left by
the secretary Of state to senators
and representatives of each dis
trict. These in most cases have
joined with them in the task of
naming the enumerators the
chairmen of the county commit
tees. The enumerators will be
paid $3.50 for each 100 names and
the securing of 100 names with
the information that goes with it
will be no light task. However
the enumerators will make good
wages and the positions are be-
ing eagerly sought after.

Irrigation in the Milk River
Valley.

MONTANA is coming in for a
big share of the general prosper
ity of the country, and it will only
be a few short years when she
will rank with any Of the North
western states in agricultural
greatness. The recent act of the
Interior Department Of the Unit.
ed States in setting aside $1,000, :
900 toward reclaiming three or
four hundred thousand acres in
the Milk River Valley is but a
beginning Of a much vaster de-
velopement of this section as the
needs grow apace. Already the
agricultural worth of this to be
famous valley has been adequate
ly demonstrated in the results
which have followed the irriga-
ton works already established.
It has been successfully proven
that all kinds of agricultural pro
ducts grow in great abundance
wherever irrigation is used. The
soil is naturally rich and needs
only moisture to make it yield
prolifcally. The Great North
ern Railway furnishes adeq uate
transportation facilities, it's main
line practically cutting the valley
in two. The fact that the Gov
eminent has decided to begin
immediate operations will prove
great incentive to the people of
that section who have always be-
lieved in the future of their coun-
try and will open to settlement
vast area of rich land to the
homeseeker and investor.

Cant we find him? He seems to

shot at him.
Paul hurried in the trail of the
bear, and dreamed not of danger.
Suddenly there came from beneath
his feet a loud cracking sound like
the report of battery of artillery
fired in unison, and the great ice foe
on which he stood began to tremble
and rock.
Dumb with amaZement he stood and
trembled with some unknown dread.
1t was several seconds before Paul
comprehended his danger and then
it was too late. The ice foe with it's
glittering spires had parted from the
shore and was drifting out to sea.
Already it was too far for him to
reach the land on which his compan-
ion stood wringing his hands in
despair.
A terrible death seemed staring
him in the face, when a new danger
arose. On his ears there burst a
fierce growl, and looking up on an
elevated portion of the ice foe rapid.
ly drifting with him toward the sea-
he beheld a monster polar bear glar-
ing at him with the fiery eyes of rage
and hate.
