National Bank Of LewistOwn, accom-
panied by three friends drove over
from Iewistown Sunday in Mr.. john
sons Pence car. The trip was made
without any mishaps, and the many
verdant grain fields passed assured
the passengers of the stability of this
district as an agricultural region.
Mrs. I. J. Kits and little son Ray

first visit to the Gap, and she said
she was much surprised at the large
number Of business houses represent
ed here, and although she had heard
great deal about the new town, she
never imagined that such a substan-
tial growth had been made.
Those who had the good fortune to
attend the afternoon tea given by the
NJ. f. ladies at the home of Mrs.
Feurt OH Wednesday, were doubly re-
paid. The day was ideal-just such
as we would have had for the oc-
casion-it also being the first birth
day Of Master Edward Lowell, infant
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Feurt, the parents
took this occasion to dedicate their
first born to God in baptism. Rev.

Of the NJ. +. church, impressing upon
the parents the great responsibility
placed upon them and prayed that as
this little bud unfolded and reached
the years Of maturity he might choose
"that better part" and be kept from
the evil, and this sentiment was echo
ed in the heart Of everyone present.
Mrs. Feurt proved royal hostess.
The thanks Of the society are due
Gurley brothers and Mrs. Calvin

SPEND FIVE BILLION
A New York Paper Wants the Government to
Bond For Irritation.

A New York Paper Wants the Government to
Bond For Irrigation.
Arthur Brisbane, the brilliant editor
of the New York Evening Journal,
has the following leading editorial,
Give Billions for Irrigation-Why
Not" in a recent issue Of that publ
cation, indorsing plan outlined by
Arthur Hooker of Spokane, secretary
of the board of control Of the Nation
al Irrigation Congress, to memorabilia
congress to issue 3 per cent gold
bonds, running 100 years to the
amount of $4,000, Oo0, 900, equally APP
portioned for drainage, irrigation.
forest protection, deep waterways and
good roads:
Somebody is shocked because the
advocates of irrigation by the nation
al government suggests spending five
billions within a few years, putting
water on dry, desert land. One brill
liant paragraph writer says:
Only five billions! The national
irrigators are too shy. Make it a hum
dred!
Eyes, make it hundred billions,
by all means, if that amount is re-
quired for irrigation. and if the coun-
try in the centuries ahead can spare
(which it can.
''No money can be spent more wise
ly than the money spent to supply
water, fertility and crops to soil dry
and useless without the water.
Give billions seems like good
deal of money, but it isn't very much
if it is we'll spent. The nation that
can talk glibly about piling up bat
tleships, Instruments of death, at ten
millions apiece; the nation that can
give that fortune of Il thousand mil
lions to an individual; the nation that
can spend millions for whiskey that
ruins the brain and body-can well
afford to spend billions on irrigation,
which is the Improvement of the
earth.
''The greatest source of wealth that
we know is water. The water is
drawn up from the salt ocean, scatter
ed over the land by the clouds. The
rain pours into the Great Lakes. And
this water, worth many times five
billions, rushes out into the ocean,
where it is lost, taking with it through
the mouth of the Mississippi and
other great rivers the valuable soil
worth many millions more.
Before the waters of our lakes and
rivers run back to the ocean human
ingenuity should take all that is need
ed to scatter over the dry fields. Even
the fields that we call fertile need
more water, and ought to have it.
''The hay crop of this country could
be doubled, without extra labor or
expense, if there were water unlimit-
ed for the growing of grass.
Farmers impoverish themselves
paying thirty and forty dollars a ton
! for fertilizer. But the fertilizer with
out the water is useless, and with ir-
| rigation the water would not cost half
Il cent Il ton.

Located in the Basin b Doing Valuable De-
monstrating.
Cashier HaZen of the Empire Bank
and Trust Company, made tour of
inspection over considerable portion
of the Judith Basin. He says the
crops from Lewistown to Utica and
Philbrook could not be better. In
his ride he took in the experiment
station. 1t is fine in it's demonstra-
ton Of what can be done to insure a
more abundant wheat and other grain
crop. Two plots Of wheat are grow
ing side by side, one of them has been
narrowed and re-harrOwed while the
other has had only ordinary care.
The piece that has been frequently
narrowed shows decided improve
ment over the other, is nearly as tall
as a mans head and heavily headed.
The other piece is thin and not nearly
so good. This frequent narrowing
mulched soil. 1t would be one of the
best things for the basin farmers to
visit this experiment station near
PhilbrOok. See what can be done and
then go and do likewise. In very
short time Governor Norris with 4
party of agriculturalists from Boze-
man college will be at the experiment
station and will proceed to give actual
demonstrations of farm methods and
pure seeds. This will be just the OPP
portnnity for progressive farmers to
