ONE O'CLOCK.

Elsewhere In The Missoulian this
morning is a little interview with
Chief OF Police Smith regarding the
early closing of saloons. There has
part Of the clocks in some Of the sa-
looms in the city to keep accurate time
after midnight. Some Of these clocks
utterly fail to register the hour Of
one and the result has been that the
closing of some of the saloons has
been postponed considerably beyond
the hour fixed by city law. Chief
Smith says that his officers will here
after regulate the time; when it is a
hour past midnight it will be / o'clock
all over the city. The fact that a
clock Is wrong will not be accepted as
an excuse for failure to comply with
the terms of the ordinance. The saloon
men Of the city have complained re-
Gently about the injustice of certain
proposed regulations which will, If
enacted, affect them and their busi-
ness. These men, themselves, are re-
sponsible for the agitation of the
propositions against which they pro-
test. They are wilfully disregarding
present ordinances and are not mani
Testing a disposition to conduct their
places properly; it is this attitude
which has brought about the agitation
for the removal of the saloons from
Higgins avenue. There are many
strong arguments against the proposed
action, but all of these arguments are
nullified by the saloon men who per-
sistently violate existing laws. If the
saloons are moved from the avenue, 1t

fire, waste and improvident use, or
protected and improved in such way
as to meet human necessities. To-
gether the lands and the forests are
IMPROBABLE resources
The minerals are limited in quantity
and cannot be increased or improved
by anything which man may do.
They are expendable resources.
The fresh waters are limited In
quantity, though the supply is perma-
nent. They form a naturally renew
able resource which man may do moth
ing to increase, but may do much in
the way of conservation.
The treatment applied to each class
should be adapted to its own fullest
development and best utilization and
to those of the other classes of re-
sources.
The waste which most urgently re-
quires checking varies widely in char
acter and amount. The most repre-
hensble waste Is that of destruction,
as in forest fires, uncontrolled flow
of gas and oil, soil wash and aban-
donment of coal in the mines. This
Is attributable. for the most part, to
ignorance, indifference or false notions
of economy, to rectify which Is the
business of the people collectively.
Nearly as reprehensible is the waste

IT MEANS MUCH.

Missoula does not seem to realize
fully what great significance there Is
to her in the approaching opening Of
the Flathead reservation. Other cities
which are concerned in the matter are
more wide awake than this; Kalispell
has been pushing forward a publ
city campaign that has advertised her
advantages to a great extent and in
this work she has been ably assisted
by the Great Northern railway. Mis-
soula is taking too much for granted
in this connection; she should make
preparations for the event more In de-
tail than anything that has yet been
considered here. Last year the res
ervation opening in Dakota, where the
number of homesteads was approx
mately the same as in the case of the
Flathead, brought to the town of Dali
las visitors to the number Of 114,000
do herself a wonderful lot of good II
she will but take advantage of the
chance. There will not be homesteads
enough on the reservation to supply
all who come; many of these people
will be attracted by the advantages
which this region offers and will turn
to the Bitter Root and elsewhere to
make their investments. Now Is the
time for Missoula to put her best foot
forward.

CHILLY MEMORIES.

In New York tonight will be held a
reunion banquet by survivors Of ex-
petitions into the Arctic region. These
heroes of the frozen north will indulge
in "Reminiscences and, incidentally, will
perfect the annual organization OF the
association which they have formed
The Arctic Club of America was
organized fifteen years ago by the
men who survived the famous expe-
dition which went to Lady Franklin
bay under the leadership Of General
Greeley, then a lieutenant. OF that
party there are now five survivors,
General Greeley. Colonel Brainerd,
Francis Long. Henry Biederbick and
Maurice Connell The club has re-
ceived accessions to its membership
from the ranks OF later expeditions
and one of the features of this meet
ing will be the election of Admiral
Schley to the presidency of the organ
ization. Admiral Schley, 1t will be
remem bered, commanded the expedi
ton which went to the relief and res
cue of the Greeley expedition. Such
instances as this meeting emphasize
the extent of the suffering that has
been entailed in these expeditions and
also serve to give force to the inquiry

LONG LIVE THE KING.

His Most Excellent Majesty. King
Edward VII, by the Grace of God, of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland and the British Dominions
beyond the Seas, King, Defender Of
the Faith, Emperor of India, has for
eight years borne the resonant array
of titles which are the attributes Of
the monarch of the realm upon which
the sun never sets. Today is the
the throne which he has so ably oc-
cupied and which it is the wish of his
devoted subjects that he will continue
to grace for many years to come. Ed
ward is popular ruler. fact which
Is in direct opposition to the predic-
tions of those who had watched the
course of his life as prince; he is an
able monarch, as well, which further
upsets the calculations of those who
confidently expected him to cut loose
as soon as he came into his inheri-
tance. No ruler of Great Britain has
been in closer touch with the affairs
of state than the present king. who
has manifested from the day of his
coronation an active concern in the
matters which affect his people and
his country. His diplomacy has con-
tributed vastly to England's in
fluence in world affairs and his far
sightedness has been a matter of great
satisfaction to his people and their
friends. That he may be spared for
many years is the hope Of the civil
lied world. Long live the king.

arising from misuse, as in the con-
sumption of fuel in furnaces and en-
gines of low efficiency, the loss OF
water in floods. the employment of
ill-adapted structural materials, the
growing of ill-chosen crops, and the
perpetuation of inferior stocks of
plants and animals, all of which may
be remedied.
Waste From Nonuse.
Reprehensible In less degree is the
waste arising from nonuse. Since the
utilization Of any one resource Is
necessarily progressive and dependent
on social and industrial conditions
and the concurrent development of
other resources, nonuse Is sometimes
unavoidable. 1t becomes reprehensible
when 1t affects the common welfare
and entails future injury. Then 1t
should be rectified in the general in
terest.
For the prevention of waste the
most effective means will be found in
the increase and diffusion Of knowl-
edge, from which is sure to result an
aroused public sentiment demanding
prevention. The people have the mat
ter in their own hands. They may
prevent or limit the destruction Of re-
sources and restrain misuse through
the enactment and enforcement of ap-
propriate state and federal laws

The practical utility of streams for
ured by the. effective low-water stage
The volume carried when the streams
rise above this stage is largely wasted
and often does serious damage. The
direct yearly damage by floods since
1900 has increased steadily from $45,-
100000 to over $23S, 100000. The indi-
rect loss through depreciation of prop
erty is great, while a large loss
arises in impeded traffic through nav
igation and terminal transfers.
The freshets are attended by de-
structive soil erosion. The soil mat
ter annually carried into lower rivers
and harbors or into the sea is COM
puted at 7S0,0O0,000 tons. Soil wash
| reduces by 10 or 20 per cent the pro-
ductivity of upland farms and in
creases channel cutting and bar
building in the rivers. The annual loss
to the farms alone is fully $5Op. 900, 900,
and large losses follow the fouling
of the waters and the diminished

Through imperfect control of the

estimated that there are in mainland
United States about 75.000,00O acres
of overflow and swamp lands requir-
ing drainage; that by systematic
operation these can be drained at

then be worth two or three times the

AN AXE TO GRIND

When l was a little boy says Ben

winter morning | was accosted by a
smiling man with an axe on his shoul-
der.

father grindstone?"
Yes, sir" said |.
You are a fine little fellow" said he
will you let me grind my axe on it?"
Pleased with the compliment of fine
little fellow " "Oh. yes, sir" / an
sWered; lit is down in the shop"
And will you. my man." said he,
patting me on the head. get me a
little hot water?'
How could l refuse? | ran and soon
Brought a kettleful.
'I am sure" continued he, you are
Cne of the finest lads that ever l have
seen; will you just turn a few minutes
for me?"
Pleased with the fattery, l went to
work. and I toiled and tugged till !
was almost tired to DEATH The school
bell rang and l could not get away;
my hands were blistered. and the axe
was not half erourd
At length. however, it was sharp
ened; and the man turning to me with.
Nov, you little rascal. you've played
truant; be off to school or you'll rue
it!'
"Alas!" thought l. sit is hard enough
to turn a grindstone, but now to be
called a little rascal is too much"
1t sank deep into my mind, and often
have | thought of it since. When I

WHY SWALLOWS
HAVE FORKED TAILS

In Palestine, where several religions
exist side by side, legends have crossed
and intermingled in such a way as to
make a distinct folklore. One legend
explains how the mosquito came to
buzz and why the swallows tail is
forked.
After the fall of man the serpent
missed the reward which the evil one
had promised him-namcly, the sweet
est food in the world. An angel was
appointed to assign to every ceature
his food and dwelling place. The SER
pent asked for human flesh. But Adam
protested, and pointed out shreWdly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
flesh, it was impossible to maintain
that it was the most luscious of food.
Thus he gained years respite for the
race. Meanwhile the mosquito was
sent round the world with instructions
to taste and report upon the blood of
every living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report in open
court the result of its researches.
Now, Adam had a friend in that
sacred bird, the swallow, which an
nually makes a pilgrimage to Mecca
and holy places. AS the insect was on
its way to the court the swallow met it
openly and asked what flesh and blood
it had found sweetest.
Mans" replied the mosquito
AS the mosquito opened its mouth
wide to shout. the swallow darted in it's
bill and plucked out the insects
tongue.
They then proceeded to the court
where all living creatures were assem-
bled to hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome of it's investigations,
the mosquito which could now only
buzz, was unable to make itself under
stood, and the swallow, pretending to
be its spokesman, declared that the in
sect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious.
In its rage and disappointment, the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too quick;
the serpent succeeded only in biting
some feathers out of it's tail.-Ex-
