With the opening of spring Grand
Forks will become again the center of
a stupendous scheme OF public inn
provement. The letting of the De-
mers avenue sewer will be among the
first things that will engage the at
tenticn OF the public. Under the pres
emit plans it mus. be completed from
the river to Seventh street by the end
of May so that the work of paving the
avenue, which is part of the con-
tract let last year, can be finished.
Just what the city council will do in
the way of letting more paving con-
tracts this year. is not yet a matter
OF public knowledge. But something
will be done-in all probability as
much as was done last year, for the
public is now clamoring for the i'm

But the feature in which Great Falls

which Great Falls now stands was q
barren tract of sand thinly covered
with buffalo grass and patches OF sage
brush. For miles in every direction
the country was devoid of human habi-
tation except perhaps the rude shelter
of sheep herder or the solitary shan
ty of squatter.
1t was from the park system of Min
neapolis that Gibson derived the in
spiration which prompted him to at
tempt tree planting in his new home.
He preached the subject to his fell
low settlers but they treated his sug-
gestion with derision. The thing had
never been done; therefore it could not
bel This attitude they maintained
until it was absolutely proved to be
erroneous and several years elapsed
before the effort of this one individual
developed into a municipal movement.
Failing to find sympathy or support
for the enterprise among his fellow
townsmen. Gibson determined to un-
dertake what he believed could and
should be done for the benefit of the
infant city. Regardless of the gibes of
skeptics, Gibson planted number of
young trees upon the ground along the
river, covering tract which is now
included in Margaret and Whittier
parks. He bore unaided the expense
and care of looking after the young
shoots and many cynical jest was
aimed at the cumbrous tank wagons
that laboriously supplied them with a
scarcely sufficient dole of water. They
grew, these first paintings of cotton
wood and box elder. and Gibson VEN
tured to add to them young elms and
ash. No such trees had even been seen
in that part of the country and so the
scoffers were encouraged to predict
that they would never grow. But
they did and birch and maple and oak
were added to the list and fourished
like the rest. Before this however, the
courageous founder of the Great Falls
park system received the recognition
that his enterprise and persistence
deserved. The city council at length
responded to his appeals and gradu-
ally increasing number Of citizens lent
their aid to the movement. The sums
appropriated for the purpose were for
many years pitifully small and even
now are none too liberal but compar-
ed with the limited resources Of one
man the municipal grants were magni-
ficent and permitted a considerable
extension CT the work each year. II
during the past decade the citizens of
Great Falls hive been commercially
active in identifying their town it
should never be forgotten that its po-
sition as the pioneer park city of Mon
tana is due to Paris Gibson.

RATS AND DISEASE.

Recognizing that rats. quite as much
as an other agency, are responsible
for the spread of many diseases, the
Danish government, by act OF the leg.
islature. has established system
whereby any person delivering a rat
dead or alive. at an appointed NUM-
cipal bureau, shall receive one cent
or its equivalent in Danish money for
the same. The result has been to
create a new business which has at
tracted half the school boys in the
kingdom for the excellence Of the
profit that lies in it, at least eighty
per cent Of the schoolboys of Copen-
hagen having adopted this methods of
providing themselves with pocket
money. Many school girls, naturally
of the harder variety, have also en-
tered the competition.
This action on the part of the Dan
ish government is the first national
official step in a propaganda against
the wanton and unnecessary spread
lug of disease, causes by the uncheck-
ed incursions Of rodents and other
ver.nin in thickly populated districts

to an considerable degree the system
which has been put into successful
operation.
Mr.. Garfield showed that more than
s50.000,000 had been invested, or would
be during 1909, to complete contracts
i'll hand. With this amount of money
works rivaling in magnitude those at
Panama have been undertaken. For
example, at Panama there has been
moved about 6S,O0o.oO0 yards OF earth
and rock, while the reclamation SER
vice has moved nearly 60,000,000
yards, besides building thousands Of
structures. large and small, digging
fifteen miles or more OF tunnels, and
erecting some of the largest and high
est masonry dams in tine world. This
work has gone on, attracting COM
paratively little attention, but it has
created farms and homes throughout
the arid states and established a per-
nanent population OF many thousand
families. The revenue derived direct
ly and indirectly by the United States
from these landowning citizens, who
have converted portions OF the desert
into fruitful fields, is in the aggre gate
larger than the expenditures made by
the government.
