Depite the uninviting condi- n
ton of the country settlers are
coming in almost every day
from the east. Of course, there
are occasionally Il few sore
heads, who expected to find dol -,
lars under every furrow they
turned, who pack their turkey
and return to their eastern
homes, voving that they never
seen such unsatisfactory condl'
tons as exist here. Well it is
safe to say that the country is
far better off without such peo'
ple-and as matter OF fact they
are a detriment, for they never
forge ahead but are. from year to
year in the rut. The kind OF
people we want in the Milk Riv-
or Valley are men of energy, who
are here with the avowed inten. |
tion of making a home for their
loved ones. and who are patriot
ic, and possess the right kind OF
spirit to face all reverse condi-
tions with a smile. These are
the men that we are proud OF.
1t was just such men that has
made Montana famous, through
out the union. for all the credit
for the advancement of this
state should be given to the
sturdy Old trail blazers, who
fought for their way into the
state against conditions the like
of which will never be known,
and made Montana one of the
best agricultural states in the
Union.
During the past week several
wool clips were sold, and at
present there only remains three
unsold clips, The prices re-
ceived we're in the main conf.
dental, however, the suppose
tion is that the price averaged

wool men are all satisfied with
this seasons work, regardless
of the low price. However,
when all the expense of the year
is figured up and then compared
with that of last year, it makes
them all smile, for certainly ev-

TO him to keep him quiet?"

any man should De so tCOllSn as
to think. much less suggest,
that the Reclamation Service or
the Water Users Association
would "hand out some induce
ment" to member of the board
of directors so that he would
not roar and so that he would
shut up like clam. Mr.. Birum
will not have far to go to find
the man he means and the in
situation he makes is not usual
ly a too palatable one. The
man may not like it. Is it a fact
or am I mistaken that people

upon with suspicion? l will not
follow Mr.. Bruins lead and an
swer the question myself; let
the reader answer it.
Mr.. Birum asks further:
"Why is it that this so.called
agreement between the Assocl-
alton and the Government is
kept so quiet?"
For the infor nation of Mr..
Birum 1 will say that the agree
ment with the United States,
like all other matters that have
ever come before the Board OF
Directors of the Water Users
Association. is a matter of rec
ord on the books of the Associa'
ton which are at all times open
to the inspection of the members
of the Association, but as Mr..
Birum is not a member, and has
not subscribed for water ne

that ground. Let us be charita'

Mr.. Birum says further:
"Isn't it fact that the Gov

We forebear to comment or

his terms and phrasing, but be
heve that if the Reclamation
Service officials at Washington
thought there was any consider

Total Solar Eclipse.

Tomorrow morning, June %, there
will be almost q total eclipse of the
sun, and should the weather be clear
midday will seem like the dusk of
evening. The eclipse will begin at
Washington, D. c., at 9:27 O'Clock
in the morning and will end at 12:41
O'Clock, making the hours it will be
visible in this section of the country
from 1927 O'Clock until 1:41 O'Clock,
our time being one hour later than
Washington time.
There was a partial eclipse of the
sun last January, but at that time
only a small part of the sun was OBJ
scured, and then only for a few min
utes, and as a result it was hardly
noticeable except by astronomers;
but the eclipse scheduled for tomor-
row will be visible with the naked
eye, while most of the sun eelipses of
the past were only visible through
smoked glass.

ing candidate for reelection, and
since that date has been practicing
his profession in the parish of West
Feliciana.
MIR. Wickliffe has always been a
consistent and ardent Democrat, his
services to his party beginning in 1895
in the first Bryan campaign, during
which he spoke in Kentucky on behalf
of Bryan and the Democratic ticket.
Among those who know him as n
lawyer, he is recognized as a hard
and tireless worker, Industrious, and
of close application TO his profession
In this connection we may call the at
tention of our fellow Democrats to the
TACT that in these days when so much,
indeed, the principal work of the
lower house of congress is done by
committees, it is the studious member
and tireless worker with energy and
capacity for infinite pains who Sc
cures the best results and most whole
some legislation for his constituency.
While not denying these qualities
to equally exist in his able opponents.
we can assure our fellow Democrats
of this district that they are possessed
by the Felicianian in a marked degree
In presenting the name of Robert c.
Wickliffe to the Democrats OF the
sixth congressional district for their
consideration, we have naught to say
against the distinguished gentlemen
who are also aspirants for their par
tvs nomination. We follow that
well-known maxim, now so we'll recog-
nized aud adopted by all fair minded
Louisianians: we present him to the
people son his own merits, and not on
any dement's of his opponents. -
And in conclusion, let US add that
when the day of the battle of ballots
arrives, we hope that the Democratic
voters of the sixth congressional dis
trict of Louisiana will choose him as
their nominee. not because they are
AGAINST his distinguished sdversa-
RES, but because they will be for
bob" Wickliffe.
We earnestly solicit a careful COO
sideration of his candidacy by the
Democratic voters of the sixth con-
gressional district of our state.
