BY ARCHBISHOP J. G. GLEN
NON OF ST. LOUIS.

Mobile. Ala, Aug. 3.-The annual

pirations finds in this anrient city its
syabol and its haoitation.
More than 200 years ago the Catho-
lie Indians sought shelter beneath the
armed fortresses of Mobile from the
tyrant governors of the Carolinas, who,
with the spirit they brought from
England. fought the Catholic Indians
here with the same vindictiyc hatred
they showed to the Irish Catholic at
home.
The constitution of the United
States" he continued, lis a guarantee
of religious liberty.
''The time has come when no set of
men can array themselves against the
religion of their fellow citizens.
THE loyal American Catholic lifts
aloft his country's standard and in his
hearts devotion no symbol is higher
save that one alone that has given to
America its constitution and to the
world it's ciyilization-the symbol of
divinity
Archbishop Glennon urged the
knights to sustain every cause that is
noble. placing citizenship above party,
extending To all Irrespective of race
or creed. the even-handed justice that
they themselves demand"

Stevensrille, Aug. 3.-There is to be
new town in the valley. IL will be
located below Stevensville on the Three
Mile bench and will be a model place.
The name of the new town will be
Bitter Root and it will be constructed
by the Bitter Root Irrigation com
Eany. of which w. II. Moody is the
head. The town Is on the line of the
new electric railway and will be the
center of new district of rural homes
to be known as the Sunnyside Or
chards. Its buildings will be hand
somely designed by the same accom-
Blished architect that planned the ar
tistic structures at University Heights
above Lake Como. The plans for the
hotel are already drawn and the
building will be erected soon. 1t will
be named The Bitter Root Inn. The
plat of the townsite and the map of
the Sunnyside Orchards have been
filed and the ground is dotted with
stakes which outline the site of the
town, which is to be the central fea-
ture of the greatest reclamation plan
that Mr.. Moody has yet undertaken
in the valley.

Demands Important.

The dsnlaELs of tho territories as
well as the states are important as
indicating the extent of development
that is being accomplished on the arid
lands, There was some talk OF sus-
lending work in the territories. but
this idea was abandoned.
The question of cutting out Idaho
Was considered. tnat state having re-
ceived more attention than Oregon,
but everything Is uncertain as to just
what steps will be taken. as II seems
unwise to stop the work in one par
ticular section with the idea Of all
yaneing the interests of another.
THE whole situation can be COM
pared to the rapid growth OF some
city which mahes its improvements
without taking into account tie tra-
mendous increase in population, and
iinds itself in a position TO be unable
to meet all requirements incident TO
unexpected development"
Director Newell and Chief Engineer
Davis will leave tomorrow night for

A Vast Undertaking

About this town of Bitter Root is

credible in its charm and unbelievable
in the extent of Its undertaking were
ii not for the record which Mr.. Moody
and his company have established i'm
the upper valley where they have al
ready accomplished the seemingly i'm
possible. 1t is long story, but 1t
1t Is interesting. Especially is it in
teresting when 1t Is told as it was this
morning to a Missouiian man by Mr.
Moody himself. the scene of the mar
ration being the very site which has
been chosen for working out the plan.
Beneath a cloudless sky. in the glory
of the Incompatible August sunshine
of the Bitter Root valley. with the
most beautiful landscape in the world
stretched out before him and the sound
of scores of mowers droning in the
air. with the magnficence of the
grand mountains over across the val
ley as a background for the picture
in this setting and with the magnetic
and infectious enthusiasm of Mr.
Moody pervading the story of what is
to be done, the plan seemed almost
realized already, and 1t required but
slight exercise of the Imagination to
behold the rolling slopes of the arid
sagebrush land green with orchards
and gardens and dotted with the homes
of hundreds of prosperous farmers.

Especially was 1t easy To realize

tomoble ride of the morning had been
along the line of the big ditch which
Is bringing down from Lake Como the
life-giving flow of water which has
already transformed thousands of
acres of unproductive ground into
thrifty orchards and rich gardens. The
columns of The Missoulian have al
ready told of the work which has been
done above Hamilton. where a great
reservoir has been created and where
thousands of acres of stump land have
been transformed into orchards. 1t is
not necessary to describe this work
here. 1t is enough TO say that what
has been done is as naught in COM
parison with what is to be done in
the region below Hamilton. extending
from the county seat of Ravalli down
to within Is miles of Missoula at the
other end of the valle:. What has
been done is interesting lere. merely
as showing the indomitable censtruc-
tive capacity of Mr. Moody and his
company. When the accomplishment
of the past year is considered. all else
seems readily possible.

ALLEGED CATTLE
THIEVES ARRESTED
Los Angeles Police Think They
Have Caught the VisaIia
Livestock Rustlers


Los ANGELES, April with the
arrest here of Percy L. Bonebrake and
David NJ. Sanders, saloon keeper in

solved the mystery OF the theft of
nearly roo cattle at visalia

to Los Angeles to see his wife, who
had sued for divorce. and with whom
he wished to make an agreement re-
garding the custody of the children.
According to the police, Bonebrake
was one of the leaders of a gang that
has been Systematically stealing cattle
in the vicinity of visalia and shipping
them to the Western meat company at
San Francisco.
Bonebrake. in his capacity as yard
foreman of the Cudahy packing COM
pany here. has a wide acquaintance
with stockmen and was in good po-
sition to act as shipping agent for the
gang. according to the police.
The specific charge on which Bone
brake was arrested is grand larceny, it
being alleged that within the last few
days he shipped 81 head of cattle
from Hanford to San Francisco.
When Sheriff Collins of visalia
learned Bonebrake was coming to Los
Angeles he asked the police here to ar
rest him. Detectives today found him
in saddlery store purchasing an out
fit, presumably to oe used in future
work with the gang at yisalia
Bonebrake is the scion OF a wealthy
family here. His father, who died
about IL years ago, was prominent
banker, and other members of the
family are well known in business and
social circles. Bonebrake is being held
