Missoula and the Bitter Root are
planning to send a delegation OF l5o
delegates to the annual meeting OF
the National Irrigation congress,
which will be held in Spokane IN Au-
gust. This meeting promises to be
the best the congress has ever held.
Spokane is making elaborate prepara-
tions for the session and the attcn-
dance will be large from all parts of
the country, especially from the east,
which has not been very we'll repre-
scented in the previous sessions or this
body The present plan of the western
Montana delegation is to take a band
and root fo. the home section.
INC where in the world is agricul-
ture intelligent as in the irrigated
regions; nowhere is it so productive,
and nowhere else have the problems
Of poverty, isolation and failure been
so effectually attacked
Harvey w. Scott, dean of Journal
ism in the Pacific slope, who has been
identified with most OF the uplift move-
ments in the northwest since territorial
days, says this in a leading editorial
in The Portland 0regonian, comment
ing upon the Importance to the ma
ton of the National Irrigation con-
gress in Spokane, under the presidency
of George Eames Barstow of BarstoW
Texas, adding:
Important.
IF the people We're interested in
events in proportion to their impor-
tance the irrigation congress next
August would plunge the whole coun-
try into wild excitement, One
imagines, however, that our national
equanimity will not be greatly per-
turbed by it.
although the subject to be dis
cussed relates vitality to human hap
piness, although the way we finally
answer the questions which the emin-
ent speakers at the congress will
raise may decide whether 800 years
from now the United States shall be
a flourishing empire or a desert soli-
tude, nevertheless it will not be easy
public interest.
THE great names of the orators, the
pomp of civic festivity, the display OF
governmental science will all be need
ed to hold the languid ear of the in
different farmer whom nothing short
of an earthquake will compel to
think or study. Irrigation would rain
gold into his tubs il he would set
them out, but he won't until he is
harried and bounded into doing it,
but the farmer is no worse than

Habit of Thinking.

"Civilzation originated in countries
where men We're forced to irrigate the
land or perish. In Babylonia and Egypt
were laid the foundations of every
science and all the arrs, The reason
is plain enough. Irrigation drives
man to think and plan on the one
hand and to cooperate With his
neighbors on the other. The habit of
thinking about one subject leads him
to exercise his brain on others, and
presently hediscovers the great truth
that ideas are upon the whole bene-
ficial to him rather than haneful.
"Co-operation is the only way out
of most rural difficulties, and it is
easier in irrigated regions than else
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-05-30

where for divers reasons. One is that
irrigation depends from the beginning
on cooperation. But also the farms
are necessarily small. people live near
together, contiguty develops conf
dence, the plane of public intelligence
rises, the communal consciousness sets
to work and presently the whole neigh
borhood studies, buys, sells and
