Falls Already Ruined.

Niagara falls are already ruined"
says the eminent hydraulic engineer,
Alton d. Adams. In Technical World
Magazine. ALREADY enough water
rights have been granted by New York
state and Canada to divert all the wa
ter which now, falling over both the
American and the Canadian falls,
makes the great cataract one Of the
natural wonders of the world. II the
capitalists and promoters who now
hold franchises were all to establish
plants, the entire flow of Niagara
river would be diverted into under.
ground channels; and the mighty
cl. IL over which the torrent now
p0urs In resistless grandeur would be
left rugged and bald and dry. Mr..
Adams sees small hope In the pro-
posed treaty between the United
States and Great Gritain. He does
not believe that Canada will be a
wii.ing party to any treaty which will
cut of the great income 1t enjoys from
leasing Niagara power. His plan Ia
TO excavate and deepen the channel
leading to the American fall, which
will otherwise run dry long before
the Canadian or Horseshoe falls will

Broom Corn Seed Free.

Helena, May 2S.-Montana ranch
men are to be given an opportunity
to engage in new industry, Secre-
tary H. O. Smith, of the local coop
erative broom factory, having received
a large quantity of broom corn seed,
which he is distributing gratis to those
who will agree to plant it. Not only
is the seed furnished free, but the ex-
press will be paid in order to encour-
age its planting. Full instructions
how to plant the seed and cultivate
the grain are also furnished. Prices
for broom straw in the east are on
the rise. and this kind of crop on
several acres this season is almost Ger
tain to produce a larger revenue than
if planted to many other kinds of Ger
calls. The market is practically UNI
limited, as the Helena factory is build
ing up splendid business. Montana
soil, and especially in Cascade ant
Carbon counties, is regarded as par
I ticularly adapted to the growth of this
grain, and the farmers who have al
ready experimental with it are quite
generally including it in their perma
nent list of crops.

ACT OF HOODuUMS.
DisgracefuI Conduct During Class Re-
ception at High School

DisgracefuI Conduct During Class Re-
ception at High School
The record of pure hoodlumism was
broken Saturday night during the re-
ception given at the high school. The
members of the junior class had work
ed hard to make the affair a success,
and had arranged tables in the hall
on which was spread a part of the re-
freshments. Taking advantage of the
absence of students and others from
this part of the building. some hood
lums procured a ladder from the base
ment and gained an entrance to the
hall through window. They pro-
ceeded to gather. up all the refresh
ments in sight, and carrying them out
on the lawn, rolled them in the mud
and dirt. When everything had been
spoiled to the satisfaction of these
young ruffians, the stuff was thrown
back into the hall, and incidentally a
lot of dirt was thrown into the punch
bowl. In carrying out this brave ex-
plot, the guilty parties also smashed
one of the windows. Fortunately, the
most of the refreshments remained I'M
packed in baskets, so that the students
We're able to carry out their entertain
ment as planned. No act of hoodlum-
ism that has occurred in this city in a
long time has aroused such indigna-
tion and it looks very much as though
this particular gang would pay the
penalty. The high school board met
yesterday and promptly offered re-
ward of $50 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the hoodlums. Some clews
have already been obtained and the
officers are working on the case.
Mayor Pinkley is much interested
and stated this morning that he sin
cerely hoped the culprits would be run
down, and when caught, be made sucil
an example of that work of this kind
would be effectually terminated In
! the outrage perpetrated Saturday
night there was not one redeeming fea-
ture. There was no element of bOyish
fun in it and only persons inspired
by viciousness and wanton disregard
OF the law and the rights of others
could have carried out such a dis
graceful scheme

NEW CHURCH
DEDICATED
AN INTERESTING EVENT At GILT
EDGE MINISTER'S IN At.
TENDENCE.

The dedication of the new Metho.
dist Episcopal church at Gilt Edge on
Sunday last, was great success. Con.
CALCULATIONS are in order to the peo-
pie of Gilt Edge and vicinity for the
interest and cooperation they have
shown in this enterprise.
The site Of this town is picturesque
and beautiful, located at the base of
the Judith mountains. AS a result
of the snow and rain storm that con-
tinued all day and for several days
past, the close fitting carpet of green
wore a mantle of white and the streets
and highways were a mass of slush
and mud, yet notwithstanding these
conditions all the services were we'll
attended.
The church is gem and is one OF
the two best buildings in the town,
the schoOlhouse being the other. The
total cost of the building outside of
the lots, was $1,70O. Three hundred
and forty dollars of this was unpro-
vided for. During the day $500 was
raised in cash and reliable subscrip-
tions, showing the liberality of the
people. The services commenced with
an early morning prayer meeting, at
6:3O, and with but short intermissions
continued until 10 p. m. God was man.

viction of sinners. number united
with the church.
Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel, superin-
tendent, preached at 1920 a. m. and
Rev. R. NJ. Craven, P. E., preached
at S p. m. Children's meeting was
held at 2 p. m. and a mass meeting
at p. m. These meetings were ad-
dressed by different persons. The
pastor, o. F. Krieger. and his wife,
who took charge OF this work last No
vember, are deserving of great credit
for their successful efforts. Rev. w.
l.. Thompson and wife, the former
pastor, rendered most valuable service.
The board of trustees is to be com
mended for their successful handling
of the finances. Much praise is due
the choir, who so ably performed their
part, leading the congregation in song.
The pastors wife, Mrs. Krieger, with
the assistance of number of the
ladies, gathered the bOunties of the
land and treated all to a magnificent
dinner, served in a hall nearby. Ali
were willing to testify to the success
of the efforts of the ladies to satisfy
the physical wants. This church is
lone signal on the western frontier,
it being over 800 miles to the nearest
church on the east, over 100 miles to
the nearest church on the south, and
16O miles to the nearest church on the
north. On the west it is Is miles to
