THE SEASON AND ITS LESSONS.

Looking back through the vista of
years. every man and woman will re-
call. at this season. what Christina
meant to them in the far off days
and will enter into the spirit of those
mystic joys that stir the children of
today. For this season has come to
mean. first of all the childrens holi-
day. Gladness is the keynote of it all.
whether viewed from the deeper les
sons that it teaches or from its mean
ing to the little ones. Christmas COM
memorates the greatest event in all
history, and even those who do not at
tach the true Importance to that phase
of it still feel. with all others, the mel
lowing and hallowing influences that
have been gaining strength through
all these two thousand years.
At this season. more than any other,
is the bond of brotherhood felt-the
good will to men of which Christmas
angels sang. Charity is awakened love
wakes strong and selfishness vanishes
For with all the cheer and jolity. the
real essen comes home to everyone
This happy day whose risen sun
Shall set not through eternity.
This holy day when Christ the Lord
Took on lim our humanity.
For little children everywhere
A joyous season still We make
We brin9 our precious gifts to them
Even for the dear child Jesus sake.
Thus it is that the children are first
in our thoughts at Christmastide. and
SO the sweetest lesson of the great
day cannot be forgotten. Back of all
the merriment and feasting. love
and charity sit enthroned and this old
world stirs anew with the impulse
started at Bethlehem.
AT Christmastide the open hand
Scatters it's bounty 0 er sea and land
And none are left to grieve alone
For Love is heaven and claims its
own
Before the next issue of the Argus

near the Sage Greek company home
ranch, on Skull and Running Wolf
creeks in the vicinity OF Stanford, on
Dry Arrow creek near Geyser. and
along Otter creek from Nollars ranch
nearly to its mouth. The only place
in this vicinity where the artesian wa
ters have been developed Is On Sage
creek, near the Sage Greek Sheep com.
pany's home ranch, where a number
of diamond drill holes. bored for the
purpose of ascertaining the thickness
of coal deposits, now afford flows of
relatively pure water.
Along Muddy creek, in the extreme
northwestern part of the area investi-
gated, is a small artesian basin, COM
prising about 20 square miles. in which
number of successful flowing wells
have been obtained. This artesian
area lies on the north side of what is
known as Burton bench, a wide val
ley about 10 miles north of Chouteau.
The flows are obtained from depths
ranging from Is to 100 feet, and the
water, which is of good quality, is en-
pioyed for both irrigation and domestic
purposes.
A few small artesian flows have al
SO been obtained in the lower part ct
Sun River valley, between Sun river
and Great Falls. The wells vary in
depth from so to SO feet, and the arte-
sian conditions from which they re.
suit are purely local.
Springs are more or less numerous
throughout the entire Great Falls dis
trict, especially in the region east OF
the Missouri river and bordering the
Big and Little Belt mountains. This
region is characterized by high plat
eaus, traversed by numerous deep and
relatively narrow canyons along the
sides of which the springs occur. The
few of these springs which have been
developed afford excellent domestic
and stock waters, but in most cases
this valuable source of supply has been
neglected. On the high plateaus Dor
de1ing the northern side of Little Belt
mountains. dry farming has been sue
cessfully practiced, and good domes-
tic water supply is often the principal
requisite for the establishment of a
profitable ranch.
West of the Missouri and south OF
Sun river are number of high plat
eaus, notably Square. Shaw and Crown
buttes. In many of the coulees at the
base of these buttes springs of large
size are found. On the west side of
Square butte is a spring which has
been developed and from which the
water is piped for distance of two
miles to a large ranch, for which It
furnishes good domestic supply.
In the lower part of the Sun Rive
valley a number of strong springs are
found which derive their water from
the underflow of Sun river. One OF
these springs at LOwery furnishes sui
ficient water to irrigate a considerable
tract Of land. To the north of Sun
river are few springs which derive
their water from the gravel-capped ter-
races to the west.
Springs also occur in abundance IN
the valley of the Teton above Chou.
teau, but in smaller numbers along
Deep creek. tributary from the south
Spring creek, a stream of considerable
size flowing in Teton valley parallel
to the main stream, is fed entirely By
springs which have their source in the
underflow of the Teton valley.
