"It is from this proposed new park
that the reclamation bureau purposes
taking water for two of its greatest
irrigation projects in Montana. This
will result in the reclamation of thou
sands upon thousands of acres of land
highly fertile but only needing water
to make them cultivatable.
But to Montanans generally, Lake
Mcdonald, at the south border of the
proposed park, forms the chief point
of interest in the new park. 1t is a
body of water fed solely from these
glaciers and is most picturesquely sit

tains. Properly speaking it is about
eighteen miles long and several miles
wide in various places. It's depth is
unknown and it contains many species
of fish which afford the finest sport

park also furnishes splendid hunting
for large and small game, which, of
course, however, would be protected
in case the government takes charge.
1t is an ideal haunt for bear, goat,
deer, elk and moose as well as ducks,
geese and grouse.

"When | was a child in my mothers

sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals | never

coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use Of coffee SO affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the

Senator Carter recently introduced
a bill providing for the creation in
Montana of a new national park to be
termed "The Glacier National Park"
The territory embraced in the pro-
posed park is situated within the Flat
head country of Northwestern Mon
tana. In an interview concerning the
park, Senator Carter says:
''The proposed Glacier Park en-
braces most interesting region. The
mountain peaks are bold and grand,
the lakes are numerous, and the whole
is covered with a lacework of small
streams. Many great glaciers exist
within the boundaries of the park and
these, I believe, are the only glaciers
readily accessible within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States outside the
limits of Alaska.
cat present the region is quite diff
ficult to traverse and can only be seen
by those who are able to venture on
i'll made and precarious trails. Mem
bers of the geological survey who have
carefully inspected the ground report
that there is little, if any, agriculture
al land and no indications of mineral
within the boundaries.
when laid out as a national park,
system of roads will be projected and
constructed making an easy and COM
Portable way for travellers visiting the
park. The bill proposes to place the
park under the control of the secre-
tary Of agriculture, instead of under
the control of the secretary of the in
terror as in the case Of the Yellow
stone National Park, because the sec
rotary of agriculture has jurisdiction
over the new forest. reserve which
now embraces the new park, and will
have jurisdiction over all the sur
rounding forest reserve country. 1t
seems desirable to have the authority
within the park organized to co-ope-
rate with the forest reserve forces in
the building of trails, and likewise
the putting out of fires.

sheets. The great Aggasiz glacier is
almost coterminus with the Kintla gla-

glaciers are the Boulder, Rainbow,
Vulture and CLANCY; they feed the
creeks that flaw into Glenn's lake and
further to the south in the great bend
of the Garden Wall, lies the Grinnell
and Saxton glaciers.
CLANCY glacier is about one and
one-half miles in area with its foot
tightly wedged in narrow and deep
gorge, where it melts only few
months in the year, but yields, when
melting, a glacier torrent, where tur-
bid waters are seen dashing like smoke
from the mouth of a cannon, far out
into the clear water of the lake which
lies full mile perpendicularly and
less than a mile horizontally from the
end Of the glacier About mile from
the north side of CLANCY glacier, Sum-

She felt that after the excitement Of
the scene through which she had just

determined to see Maxwell immediate

on him that hetoo should undertake
that restitution should be made.

with her step-brother, but she was

haggard appearance, he said, You do

hard, unsympathetic way in which he
spoke it was evident that his words
were a mere comment on her aspect,

break down before she had appraised
him of all that he wished to get from

influences That Draw 1t From Its Al

Nothing in the navigational equip
ment of a ship has been the subject
Of more anxious scientific research or
receives more jealous care than the
mariners compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and
south is-well, more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are.
Even under the most favorable condi-
tions there are only certain places
upon the surface of the earth where
the compass needle does point north

that such conditions are never found

draw the compass needle from its al
legiance to the magnetic pole of the
earth, warning influences which must
needs be counteracted by all sorts
of devices which hedge round the in
strument by an invisible wall of con-
fiicting currents OF magnetism.
And as if this were not enough there
are now huge dynamOs to be reckoned
with, producing electric currents for
all sorts of purposes on board. In the
midst of these msytic currents the
poor little compass needle, upon which
the mariner depends for his guide
across the trackless deep, hangs sus.
pended like one shrinking saint sur
