and the work of the National Rivers

interest in the subject, was set forth
at some length. The speaker said that
there were $4,000 miles of navigable
waterways in the United States and
that in the Northwest alone there were
2,436 miles of navigable water. In the
middle western states there are $4,000
miles of navigable waterways and on
the Atlantic coast 1900 miles.

The town of Powell, Wyoming, and the
country Immediately surrounding it is
one of the most historic places among
all those in which government engi-
neers have been at work for the past
five years 1t is in the Big Horn basin
once the home of the American bison
and the old stamping ground of Col
Buffalo Bill Cody.
The first unit of $4,000 acres of this
country was opened up last June ant
is already we'll settled. In that time
farms have sprung up and now dot
what was formerly a broad expanse OF
sage brush and prairie grass. Dairy
cattle have taken the place of the
bleaching bones of the steer and buffalo
that were once compelled to battle fol-
life against snow and drought, anC
were dependent upon the caprice of the
season for sustenance. In the old days
of cattle raising on the plains of Wy
oming, the cattle raiser counted OF
a loss of 40 per cent from death in his
herd each year. Farm houses on wei
kept roads occur at intervals of eight
miles Trees that seem to be twenty
years old have sprung like magic from
the Watered soil, and crops Of all kinds
have prOspered as though brought VI
from the desert by the wand OF tn,
Hindu magician. Wheat yielded from
40 to As bushels and oats from So to
70 bushels to the acre last year Po-
tatoes, apples and all kinds of berries
have done well and sugar beets grow
amazingly. If the cultivation of the
sugar beet develops further a sugar
factory will be established at an early
date, and another industry will have
besn added to the community.
Powell is the town for the first two
units, and is already a thriving COM
munity, the government allowing the
land to be used until it can be dis
posed of. There are two school houses
there, both graded, one drug store, one
granite state bank, hotel, a lumber
yard, a general store and a church.
The roads leading out from Powell
are served with a rural free delivery
route and there is cheap local and long
distance telephone service.
The town itself is the first stopping
place on the new route to the Yellow
stone Park on the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad, about a day and
half ride from Omaha. 1t can be
reached easily from Helena, Butte or
Denver and is in the center of a district
of a half million acres that eventually
will be irrigated when the Shoshone
dam is completed
The unit to be opened this month is
the second of three that will be made
available for irrigation before the mon

Following the close of the business

More Than 1000 Pupils of City Schools
Hear Chief Executive of State Of
Washington at Commercial
Club Rooms.

Filled to overlooking the rooms of
the Commercial club were taxed to
their utmost capacity yesterday after
noon by the 1000 or more school chill
dren who were marched to the scene
with flags flying in order to see and
hear the chief executive of the state
of Washington. That the compliment
was appreciated by Governor Hay was
evident, from the way in which he re-
ceived the children and mounting on
a table, he confronted the sea of faces
which was so eagerly upturned to his.
Although the advent of the school
children into the Commercial club
rooms was the principal event of the
afternoon session, there were yet many
excellent addresses delivered by able
men upon interesting topics among
which were the subject of waterways.

closely related.
At $3.50 o'clock. Governor Hay re-
signed the chair in favor of DR.. N.
c. Blalock, who acted as chairman
during the remainder of the afternoon,
while the governor visited the rock
quarry situated near Dixie.
Lyman Speaks First.
The initial speaker yesterday after
noon was Professor W D. Lyman of
Whitman college who gave an excellent
address on Effects of Conservation on
Natural Resources, on Politics and
Society"
Professor Lyman dealt particularly
on the Importance of unity of action
in the carrying on of any great work.
This was the keynote of his remarks.
conservation of resources will in it
self create patriotism and community
of interests. I would expect intelligent
use of our natural resources, under
national control, but would not restrict
individual effort. The word American
means more than any one locality, it
means something national, and in the
end viii mean that which is even

great Napoleon BOnaparte. AS you
can see by looking closely, he is small
er than the average horse, and one
would expect a war horse, especially
the favorite mount of such a conquer
or as Napoleon, to be big and mus
cular.
The little white horse has just been
discovered, after having been hidden
away for forty years. 1t has been
placed on exhibition in the Musee de
PArmee in Paris, a famous museum,
where thousands of tourists and
sightseers will gaze at it. Five years
or so ago it was found in box in an
attic in the Louvre. On this box was
the inscription "A Monsieur de Chef
DIES Musee Imperiaux a Paris, Cheval
de Napoleon I, from the Natural His
tory Society, Manchester (To the
chief of the Imperial Museums at
PariS.)
The papers of the Natural History
Society at Manchester We're diligently
searched, and it was found that the
stuffed horse actually belonged to Ma
poleon and that the great Emperor
of the French frequently rode him.
He was an Arab horse named Vizier.
If you could get near enough to
the horse you would see that there is
peculiar mark on his left flank.
That is the monogram of Napolean
himself, which he had branded on the
horse so that every one who saw the
animal would know that he belonged
to the Emperor Napoleon, the great
est conQuerer of history.
You might get the idea from this
that Napoleon was a fine rider But
as a matter of fact Napoleon was not
a good rid Grand did not look well
on horseback. No doubt if automo-
biles had been invented in his time
he would gladly have ridden in one,
instead of using the little stuffed
white horse whose picture we see.

DON'T STUDY NATIONAL AIRS
American Visitor In Great Britain Re-

Perturbed.

81 wish" growled a man lately back
from a tour of the British Isles, that
the British bandmasters would take
a course of instruction in what con-
stitutes the American national airs.
Band concerts are the rage all over
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
During the summer season, probably
as compliment to the hordes of
Americans who are finging away gold
for their benefit, they present daily
what is generally dubbed American
national airs
"The majority of these bandmasters
think Dixie is the national air. be-
cause they sagely observe it is the
only one which Americans applaud.
The 'Star-Spangled Banner is dismal
and lugubrious enough under the best
of circumstances, but to hear the
Scotch bagpipes have a fling at it is
indescribable misery The man who
wrote the Columbia hymn would not
know his own work as performed in
King Edwards domain, and even the
Kentucky Home and other negro bal
lads get a touch between an Irish jig

American visitor of any pleasure
