THE DRAWING.

In so far as it affects the lands on
the Flathead reservation. the drawing
at Occur d'Alene City is at an end.
Some of the later names in the list
remain to be published today. but
these whose good fortune it will be =
file upon the splendid lands of this re-
serve next April have learned by this
time that luck was with them and
that they have 1t within their power
to become owners of farms of unsur-
passed fertility and productiveness.
The drawing has been conducted with
precision and in manner that seems
to be eminently satisfactory. Some
there were who were bound To be
crowded out I'm the selection of loca-
tors: the demand for the lands was 50
great that there was not enough OF
the Flathead soil to go around. But
the list of winners contains the names
OF many who will add to the work Of
development In western Montana skill
and energy and thrift: on the great
reserve there will developed magnifi-
cent farms. whose productiveness is
by the record of the Bit
ter Root. And another era in Mis-
soula's growth has been inaugurated.

tion i'm Missoula. There was "A rush to
the telegraph office and hurried ex-
change of messages with ST. Paul.
Then the train continued its westward
flight. bearing some Of the big men"
of the old Northern Pacific organiza-
tion and some who were new to the
game. The next morning announce
ment was made that the Northern Pa
cifc had been placed in the hands of
receivers. During that brief stay in
Missoula one of the receivers was Sc
lected In the person of Mr.. l.. l..

man placed upon the board was MIR.

Of Plains. That day was important in
tho history of the northwest. II
marked the end of the Willard system
OF management and supplanted il with
Il business method which has been for
the good Of the northwest and for the
good Of the railway. Great changes
have taken place in the sixteen years

COMING WEST.

In his position as chairman OF the
ter has IL In his power To he of great
service to the west. That he Is de-
termined to make the most of the op-
portunity and to, render the greatest
service possible. Senator Carter. as has
been announced in the news dis
patches. L. bringing his committee into
the west that its members may see
for themselves the practical benefits
that have resulted from the applica-
ton of practical irrigation methods.
These benefits are not local. as the
members of the committee will learn
man through the tracts that have been
reclaimed by the magic touch of water
applied To the western soil. The areas
thus reclaimed have furnished homes
for many people who have been
crowded In the congested districts of
the east. and they will. In time. pro-
vide homes for many more. The work
has been well started. but IL is far
from complete development. II Is
wise move that Senator Carter is
making in bringing To the scene of
reclamation operations the men who
are to shape legislation governing this
work.

~HE career of Theodore Roose
welt has been full of paradoXeS,
but the greatest paradox of all
has now come to light. He Is
trying to effact himself. He, the high
priest of self assertion, has suddenly
become the <orld-s most conspicuous
example Of self abnegation. 1t tran
spires that his chief reason for going
to Africa is that he may take himself
out of Mr.. Taft's way. Roosevelt
wants his successor to have free
hand, to be his own president. He
will stop the mouths of all those who
would place the brand "T. r." on the
Taft administration. To make sure
that their mouths are stopped he viii!
betake himself to the most inaccessible
part of the earth's surface. He will
cut the wires with civilization and
bury himself for a year in the African
jungle. 1t has been said that greater
love hath no man than this-that a
man lay down his life for his friend"
but / am not sure. For man of
Roosevelt's type to efface himself for
a friend must be even greater sacri-
fee.
II this was really the determining
motive in the African, trip, as friends
Of Roosevelt assert, 1t is the greatest
thing he ever did. And for the truth
of it we have not only their word: but
corrob0rative evidence. Indeed the re-
f'isal to run for third term was a
proof in itself. So was the tactful and
considerate -act of letting Taft ride
back to the White House alone. Not
without bearing, too, is Mr.. Roosevelt's
firm stand that he will not be inter-
viewed or allow his picture in the
papers. The further fact that no news

are two rainy seasons, one in the
