Would Proceed with Memorial.

My idea would be to proceed with
the erection Of the Grant Memorial, as it
is but a beginning, and trees, like men,
viii die long before the whole scheme of
Identification is carried out Then let
3. goo year or more be spent in planting
trees in orderly fashion, so they will har-
monte when the big idea has been
worked out.
'Then, in the course of time. and prob
ably before all the work Will have been
DONE the trees now in the way viii have
died, and the vista will be complete
In that future day, the forest trees IN
the grounds Will be immeDse-larger than
those now there, and placed in orderly
/ fashion that viii permit them 20 attain
greater size. well rounded out, and form
ing an ever changing and beautiful re
treat.
AS for the necessity OF a vista, It
must be remembered that rare indeed,
are such opportunities as are given here
in Washington. To complete a vista, IL
must have a ClimaX-sOmething al which
To look. II certainly could be found in
the Mall If the trees We're removed. The
men who presented these plans are men
who We're known as the best in their line
and they spent more than year in their
working out.
The drawings and pictures, as well as

/ excellent specimens of work, and I do
not recall that there ever has been such
a painstaking report made. with SO much
accuracy, and showing so well the gen
eral ideas intended by the architects.
/ The models, showing the present con-

il IS worth while studying them, so as
to get an intelligent idea Of the relation
of the Grant Memorial to the rest Of the

also on file in the building, but there is

That it is folly TO compare the pcssi-

Both the places cited by critics of the

Four Drowned In Flood,
Great Falls Leader.

Four persons were drowned in the

yesterda y. three of one family losing
their lives in Simms creek, about
seven miles west of Fort Shaw and the
fourth being carried 20 his death in
Smith river. at q point about 30 miles
south of Great Falls.
In Simms creek, Mrs J. C. Furman,
an old time resident Of Augusta, whose
husband, an Augusta merchant, is
now a contractor on the Sun river ir.
rig alton contract, together with her
two little sons, aged 5 and 3 years re.
spectively, were drowned yesterday
afternoon while attempting to ford the
creek at the crossing of the county
road. They had been visiting Mr..
Furman at his camp and were return.
ing TO their home at Augusta at the
time.
Simms creek IL usually q simple
ford, but the heavy rainfall had
swollen it to the proportions of q
small river and the current was like q
mill.race. While in the middle of the
stream the wagon in which the three
were crossing was carried down by
rush Of water and the occupants we're
upset. The body of Mrs. Furman was
found about an hour afterward by q
reclam alton service employe, but those
of the two children have not been
seen up to this writing. They were
undoubtedly carried on into Sun
river, about a mile distant from the
scene of the accident.
Joe Tucker is the person who lost
his lite in Smith river, the accident
occurring last evening. Tucker was
employed upon the ranch OF l. K.

about 30 miles from this city. Mr..
Hunts berger is q brother of William

THE TURBULENT MISSOURI.
Heavy Rainfall Caused Rapid Rise In
the Great Waterway.

The Missouri river, usually a we'll

northern Montana, got or a rampage

aud Monday. An exceptiona ally heavy
rainfall in the country drained by this
magnificent waterway, comprising
territory thousands of square miles in
extent, was responsible for the occur
renee.
The tirs. indication Of unusual con.
ditions came Saturday night. when
the heavy rainfall of the preceding p
hours began 70 show its effect. There
was arapid rise 10 the river to q height
Of between four and FIVE feet, which
had subsidized to some extent Sunday

than under normal conditions. Hun

surplus contents into the. Missouri,
causing the latter stream to carry a
mass of mud and debris such as Is
seldom seen at the head Of navigation.
One of the immediate effects of the
food al a temporary suspension of
service at the waterworxs and electric
light plants. The raging torrent
swept over the big we'll from which
the city water is obtained, covering it
to a depth of several feet. The muddy

The number of men deserving cred

many, and in but few instances do
they ever get, full credit for what
they accomplish, and especially lis
this the case where so many unknown
difficulties are met; and overcome as
has been the case at. Wilton, where
the geological conditions were, to-
men, new and unknown and in the
face of general skepticisIn and I'M
lief upon the part of the general
public beyond comprehension.
As at first stated, the people in
certain localities had faith in Ignite
coal as fuel for home use If easily
obtained, but the majority of settlers
in the state had never used 1t and
had not confidence in It.. The people
had to be educated to its value and
many uses. This was difficult task
under the circumstances, and much
yet remains to be done along these
lines.

his enthusiasm and courage is due

THE SWEET SUMMER TIME.

The long delayed summer seems to be
heading this way, and seasonable weather
will soon be upon us. Day after day
the wind had been waiting rain clouds
from the east, while the temperature
had been uncomtortably low, until yes
teriay evening when the wind changed
to the northwest and early in the night
the stars we're shining again. The
weather today has been fair and mild,
and everything tends to show that hles
Tor heating purposes will not be needed
for some time. The weather prophets
who have issued bulletins to the effect
that the summer of 1907 is to be likened
to that of 1916 seem doomed to disap-
pOintment.
