This week the Davenport Hebrew
immigration Society, Davenport, Iowa,
received the first consignment Of immi-

connection with it's purpose both to as

has forty-five to fifty Russian families,
all industrious people, every one citl-
zen of the United States and loyal to
his adopted country. Some three
months ago the immigration Society was
organized, to look after arriving immi-
grants, and by cooperating with the ma
tional and European branches, to try to
assist in the work Of properly distribut-
ing and helping the Jewish people who
come to this country. The Davenport
Society agreed to receive here one fam
lily and two single men every sixty days,
stipulating that the men should all be
mechanics. They are to bring at least
enough money to support them week,

The building of Jewish Reform
school somewhere near Cincinnati is pro-
jected by Dr. Boris ID. Bogen, superin-

His ideas on the subject will be pre-
sented at the next meeting of the Jewish
Charities conference Doctor Bogen
says that at present there is no place to
send delinquents who are taken away
from home except to the House Of Re
fuge or to a secular Christian Reform
school. In either case he must be alb
solutely without religious influence of a
kind that can appeal to him in any but
a negative destructive way, and he is
thereby rendered unfit to return home.
The movement has not as yet found
much support, largely because condi-
tions are not known, but Doctor Bogen
is still hopeful that it will be carried to
a successful issue.

THE BUSINESS
MAN
By THEODORE ROOSEVELT
From the Presidents Latest Book. "A Square Deal"

~ HE American business man is of a peculiar type, and probably
the qualities Of energy, daring and resourcefnlncss which
~ have given him his prominence in the international industrial
world find their highest development in the west. IT is
THE MEREST TRUlSM TO SAY TIA IN THE MODERN
WORLD INDUsTRIA IsM IS THE GREAT FACTOR IN THE
GROWTH OF NATIONS. Material prosperity is the foundation
upon which every mighty national structure must be built.
OF COURSE THERE MUST BE MORE THAN THIS. THERE
MUST BE A HIGH MORAL PURPOSE, A LIFE OF THE SPIRIT
WHICH FINDS ITS EXPRESSION IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT
UNLESS MATERIAL PROSPERITY EXISTS ALSO THERE Is scANT
ROOM IN WHICH TO DEVELOP THE HIGHER LIFE.
The productive activity of our vast army of workers, of those who
work with head or hands, is the prime cause Of the giant growth Of
this nation. We have great natural resources, but such resources are
never more than opportunities, and they count for nothing if the men
in possession have not the power to take advantage of them. In
such development laws play a certain part, but individual characteris-
tics a still greater part. y \ y The prime factor in securing industrial
we'll being is the high average Of citizenship found in the community.
The best laws that the wit of man can devise would not make a COM
munity of thriftless and idle men prosperous. No scheme of legisla-
ton or Of social reform will ever work good to the community unless
it recognizes as fundamental the fact that EACH MANS W
INDIVIDUAL QUALITIES MUST BE THE PRIME FAC
TORS IN HIS SUCCESS. Work in combination may help, and
the state can do a good deal in its W sphere, but in the long run each
MAI must owe his success in life to whatever of hardhood, of resolu-
ton, Of common sense and Of capacity for lofty endeayor he has
within his own soul.
IT IS A GOOD THING TO ACT IN COMBINATION FOR THE
COMMON GOOD, BUT IT is A VERY UNHEALTHY THING TO LET
OURSELVES THINK FOR ONE MOMENT THAT ANYTHING CAN
EVER SUPPLY THE WANT OF OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL WATcHFuL
NESS AND ExERTloN.
Yet, given this high average of individual ability and invention
we must ever keep in mind that it may be nullifed by bad Legislation
and that it can be given a chance to develop under the most favorab,
conditions by good legislation.

State Boards May Cooperate.

HELENA, April 4.-The Montana,
Oregon and Washington railroad com.
missions will meet at Olympia, Wash,
on April IL next, for the purpose OF
considering the general northwestern
railroad situation, and incidentally
for the editication of the first two,
which are recent legislative creations.
The meeting will continue for a week,
perhaps. A plan may be suggested
for a cooperation between the western
commissions and the national body if
such is deemed advisable after a
thorough canvass, of the situation.
The railroad commission of Oregon
was established by law about ten days
earlier than the Montana commission,
and as the commission law of Wash
ington has beer, in effect for two years,
it was deemed best by the Oregon and
| Montana boards to visit the Wash.
ington commission for the purpose of
becoming familiar with the work of
that board, it having so recently gone
through the initiative and formative
period of the work, and the conditions
physically and otherwise being so
nearly analogous to those prevailing
in this state.
In the Judgment of the Montana
commissioners this conference will be
more beneficial and at much less x
pense than a trip to eastern states,
from our OWE, and the expense of the
trip SO much greater.

AN IRRIGATION, EVENT.
Will Turn Water Into..HuntIey..Projec
Early In July.

HELENA, April 4.-The first govern
ment reclamation project in Montana
will be opened to settlement and the
water turned on upon ONE date to be
fixed in July. 1t is the Huntley pro-
lect, q few miles east of Billings and
approximately 10000 acres will be re.
claimed.
Information has been received here
that elaborate preparations have been
made for the occasion and that the
event will be almost1 as historic an
one as the completion of the Northern
Pacific when the golden spike was
driven at Gold creek, near Garrison,
which was witnessed by President
Grant, Indian chiefs, cabinet officers
and railroad officials.
This occasion is concentrated on
the ceiling of the dome in the capitol
and it is said that the completion Of
the first reclamation project in the
state will mark another long epoch
forward in the history of the state.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
will be present when the waters are
turned into the canals and laterals Of
the Huntley project in July; the heads
Of the various departments Of the rec
lamation service from all parts of the
country will be present; the state Off
cials will participate in the cere-
monies; and a general invitation will
be issued to the citizens OF the state to
be present.
The preparations for the affair are
being cared for by the Billings Com
mercial club which expects to make
the occasion a notable in the his
tory of Montana. There will be
speeches and q banquet.
It is said that nearly all the land
which the Huntley project will reclaim
has already been squatted upon by
settlers who desired to secure a home
there and anticipated the completion
of the work.
