Imperial Male Quartet. Each member
is a solo artist and the work whicn
they have done together has developed
that fine blending of voices which
nothing but long experience will Sc
cure. Their program is one of great
variety, including some of the best
classical and popular selections in
quartets and solos. Their extended
tour under our direction last season
was splendid success. We announce
them again knowing our patrons wili
be greatly pleased with their enter
tainment. The reading of Mana Gay
lord Beckwith add variety and are
delightful feature of the program.
Miss Beckwith has a fine figure, a
pleasing face and an ease and grace
Of manner altogether attractive and
charming. She puts a fire and finish
into her readings that will captLvate
her audiences. Her voice is rich, full
and flexible, enabling her to give a
great variety to her work."

OUR WATER RESOURCES.
State Co-operates With Geological Sur
vey in Studying Subject.

In accordance with an act of the
last state legislature, cooperation has
been effected between the state engi-
neers office and he U. S. geological
survey for the purpose of studying sys-
tematically the water resources OF
Montana. This cooperation was
brought about largely through the eff
forts of Governor Toole, Hon. j. M.
Dixon and H. N. Savage. They all rec.
ognized the Importance Of thorough
knowledge of photographic conditions,
before irrigation projects are undertake
en-.
In the past many projects have been
taken up and completed without inves'
tigating thoroughly the water supply.
In some instances this has been in
sufficient and the result has been that
the projects have been either partial
or total failures and the money ex-
pended, lost.
The photographic branch of the U.
S. geological survey has maintained
for a series of years, gaging stations
on many of the streams in the state
with the view to future irrigation

ed he of the leg trade after the pom
derous man had gone. well he is
the son of one of the richest women
in the United States. He lost his leg
through disease, and he always comes
to Philadelphia to have his sets made.
Plain, ordinary boxes do for most
people to cart their legs around in,
but he's got fine leather cases, with
his initials engraved upon them"
do many of them get into it on such
a wholesale plan?" was queried of the
leg maker.
Heaps of them,' he replied laconi-
cally. Some of them can do anything
with 'em. There's one young man in
this city who belongs to glee club,
and they tell me he's the best dancer
of Irish jgs in the town. He was a
good dancer before he lost his leg,
and he's all right yet. No, we have
no lady attendants. We ought to have,
though. What's the reason? Oh, be.
cause there is not one woman in Phil
adelphia that | can find who knows
the trade. Pity too, because there S
money in it. A good leg maker ought
to make at least S25 per week.
There are six or seven men in pub
lie life, we'll known, who wear arti
fical limbs. None but their intimate
friends and families know it, however

'Oh, yes, artificial leg making is thu

doing up banks and public buildings
and one day | went into a place Il
New York to order an artificial linn
for friend in distress. The maker wa
a DOCTOR strange to say. He sized M
up and l sized him up, and in a shor
time l was under contract to work TO
him. They can't steal our patent
either, for it's as hard to make an al
tifical limb without years of learnin
as it would be for some tinhorn mai

in the western part Of the state and
have established gaging stations on
Pend Oreille and JockO rivers and

on the Flathead reservation. AS this
reservation is soon to be opened up, it
is important that the irrigation posi-

people of this county are alive to the
