BIG RECEPTION
GIVEN TO PRAY

The home coming of Congress-
man Pray and his wife was made
the occasion. by his fellow
townsmen, a most enthusiastic
demonstration in their honor, on
last Monday evening. The affair
was participated in by several
hundred people, irrespective of
politics, not only of Benton but
from many towns of Northern
Montana. It was an entire sur.
prise to Mr.. and Mrs. Pray, as
the affair way entirely sponta-
neous. The Fort Benton band.
reinforced by the Black Eagle
band of Great Falls, headed a
procession and marched to Mr.
Pray's residence where a stop
was made, and cheered the
affable congressman. Mayor
|Stranahan, on behalf oflthe citi
'zens, made a tactful and appro.
pirate speech in which he spoke
of the pleasure the people of
Benton took in welcoming the
Montana congressman home.
and the appreciation of his first
years work. Congressman Pray
in response very feelingly ex-
pressed his pleasure and appre,
citation of his and Mrs. Pray's
return home.
Not only is Fort Benton proud
of Charley Pray and his first
years commendable work in
congress, but likewise is the
entire state proud of the young
man, who went to Washington
against various odds, but through
his energetic and earnest work
ee has made good. There is a
warm spot IN every good Mon.
tanian's heart for the young con-
gresham, irrespective of poll
tics. The demonstration of the
Benton citizens is heartily in ac-
cord with the people of North
ern Montana, who know Charley
Pray best.

CUPID BUSY
IN MALTA
THE LITTLE BLIND GOD HAS
BEEN BUSY IN THIS CITY
FEW BACHELORS ROPED

B. r. Koke and bride, nee Miss
Minnie Dahl, arrived in the city
last Friday afternoon from their
honey moon trip. They were
married at Thief River Falls.
Minnesota, on July 8, after
which they sojourned about
Minnesota and North Dakota un.
til their arrival in this city. Mr..
Koke, who is one of the most
prominent business men of this
city, and who has always been
considered good catch by
many good motherly matron,
lett this city on the evening of
July Fourth, without even con-
tiding to his most intimate
friends that he was about to be-
come a benedict so soon. Nor
did his lady friends in this city
suspicion anything wrong, when
he would endearingly caress
them and speak loving words,
their eyes would merely open,
like cellar doors on farm house,
and lift them to catch the
silvery accents of his voice.
but his tongue always refused
to wag the fatal words. He
would at times sit and dream in
silent alteration in the sweet in
fection of love, like thirsty
man when he would swallow a
glass of red lemonade at a two
ring circus. He often cOnfided
to his dear friends that since the
fair face of his future better
half fell upon his life he at
times felt as if he could lift him
self up by his boot straps to the
top of the church steeple and
pull the bell ropes for all the
Sunday school classes IN town.
So ior this reason he has been
forgiven by his friends for his
rude action, of course not until
he made several chesty explana-
tions with the cup that cheers,
did the boys do the customary
congratulations. for they were
really very sorry to lose SO wor-
thy a man from their bachelor
club. Mrs. Koke is a popular
young society leader of Thief
River Falls, Mimi, and Ullen,
North Dakota. where in the lat.
ter town she was the assistant
post mistress. The En- e r.
pris together with Mr.. Koke's
large circle OF friends extends
hearty congratulations to the
young couple. They will be at
home to their many friends af-
ter August 1st.

WHO IS BIRUM :, !;
THEDISTURBER
A SUBSCRIBER ANSWERS THE
VICIOUS ATTACK MADE ON
{L.M.R.W.U.A. OFFICERS

"A man Dy the name OF brOWn
handed me the Valley County
News this morning and I noted
with (consternation and alarm)?
that one H. L. Birum eff Saco, is
likely to "knock" hole in the
Dodson South Side Canal or
"kick" a piece out OF the dam.
) After reading the article the
first question I asked Mr.. Brown
was, "Who is Mr.. Birum?
Where is his land? How does
he come to be so lily informed
and to talk so much about it?
Why does he ask so many ques-
tions and answer them himself?
Does he live all alone so he has
to, or won't anyone talk to him:
Has he some infirmity which
makes him cross? Are his
shoes too tight, or is it the hot
days and muggy nights!" I am
really more worried about Mr..
Birum's condition than about
what he will do to the dam. MI.
Birum seems to feel badly and
may possibly be i'll. I said as
much to Mr.. Brown, but he is
an unsympathetic man and re
piled that he guessed Mr.. Birum
was thicker" I do not agree
with him, however, and still be
lieve Mr.. Birum is i'll.
Now this is all very sad, and
the saddest thing about it is
that a man should be willing to
talk so much about matter of
which he is so profoundly and
stupendously Ignorant. TIC
quote from Mr.. Birum's article
in the Valley County News:
Nov after we have signed
up for the work we find that the
ditch will go down the south
side, that they never intended
to go down the north side at
all. They promised it faithfully
at the start. Why is this? Can
it be because the gang that is
running things all have their
land on the south side? We
have no one on the north side to
look after the interests Of the
people there. -
Replying would say that Mr..
Birum lives on the north side
and he seems TO be looking after
the interests" of the people
there, but in my humble opinion
he makes mistake when he
thinks that the farmers are
''poor FOOLS" as he calls them.
It is very fortunate for Mr.. Bir-
um that he is a cross and angry
man, for if his sense of humor
was at all developed he must
needs laugh himself sick over
the foolish position he will be in

Officer George Kynast made a
long trip the middle of last week
after a breed, who was accused
by another breed of stealing his
cayuse. Mr.. Kynast got his
man north of Saco where lie
was trying to dispose of the
horse. After the prisoner was
brought to this city, the breeds
held a powwow and decided not
to prosecute him, and after sew
eral hours of squirming they
succeeded in raising the neces.
sary sinew of war to pay the
costs and the case was dropped.

GOVERNORS REPLY
WATERWAYS CONGRESS
TO BE WELL ATTENDED
All the Governors Except Those Of
Alaska and Porto Rico Have Prom
ised to be Present at May Meeting
In Washington-Prcsld Is De-
lighted With Responses TO His In
vitatiOns

Washington. Jan. 2O,-Letters of
acceptance to the conference at the
White House in May already are
pouring in on the president from the
governors of states and territories.
The conference Is called to con-
slider the conservation of the natural
resources of the United States. 1t
will be broad In scope, but chief
among the subjects to be discussed
is the question of improving the riv-
ers of the country, so they may be
transformed into arteries Of COM
merce, and deepening and otherwise
developing the ports that they may
be in condition to receive the rich
argosies that will carry the treas
ures of the interior to them. 4.
All the governors have been heard
from, except those of Alaska and
Porto Rico. Governor Walter Freer
of Hawaii has announced his inten-
tion of being present, and 1t is al
most certain that Governor Post Of
Porto Rico also will be on hand. Be-
cause of the distance and the diff
culties in getting out 1t Is not likely
that Governor Hoggatt will undertake
the journey from Alaska.
Together with the governors there
will be present at the conference
representatives of a number of or
CARNATIONS interested in the general
problem The National Rivers and
Harbors congress will strongly be In
evidence, and Its president, Congress-
man Joseph e. Ransdell of Louis
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-20

lana, likely will head the delegation.
The Inland Waterways commission
also will take part in the proceed
ings, which will occupy three days.
The fact that the National Rivers
and Harbors congress will have such
strong representation is striking
evidence of the complete sympathy
extended by the administration to
the work of the organization. 1t has
been endeavoring for years to have
the federal government appropriate
$50. 900, 900 annually, for the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors of
the United States. While II has had
the hearty endorsement of President
Roosevelt in the past, 1t never was
able to obtain direct word of COM
mendation from Representative The
odore f. Burton, chairman of the
committee on rivers and harbors, un-
til It's convention last month.
And then Congressman Burton
"came into camp" In the course of
a speech to more than 1000 delegates
from every section of the country
he acknowledged that he believed the
time had come for the Inauguration
of vigorous policy in the treatment
of the subject of internal improve
ments.
"How much do you think should be
appropriated each year in carrying
out this vigorous policy?" asked
former Congressman Maddox, who
was present as a delegate from the
south. Mr.. Burton hesltated Then
he took the plunge.
II think 1 can endorse your pro-
gram of not less than $4,000, 900 a
year." he said, smiling.
The applause that greeted his sur
render was deafening. Tt lasted for
minutes and then broke out afresh.
The statement meant much, for
Congressman Burton wields enormous
influence in his capacity as chair
man of the rivers and harbors COM
mittee of the house. 1t is not unlike
lv that hereafter a bill for river and
harbor improvements carrying $780,
100000 or more will be passed annu-
ally.
In addition to waterways improve
ment, the governors at the White
House conference will discuss irriga-
ton. drainage, the preservation of
forests, the water power to be de-
rived from streams and a half doz-
en- allied topics There will be no
set speeches, according to the tenta-
tive arrangements, but each person
present has been invited to come
prepared to discuss the question In
which he is most interested.

gun at headquarters today by the ex-

among rival unions are to be settled,
but most important of all will be the
