July %, 1910.
Daghestan was the most costly prov
ince that was ever added to the Rus
sian empire. 1t cost thirty-five years
OF war and the sacrifice Of 100000
soldiers to subdue the fierce noun
tain warriors-the Lesghians, the
Tcherkess and the other tribes-who
were the f1ercest fighters in Europe,
and are said to be the descendants of
the Hittites OF the Old Testament
They were pagans until Mahomet ap-
peared. Since then they have been
fanatical in their adherence to Islam.
They were taught the art Of war by
the savage Scythians in prehistoric
times. and the aboriginal tribes were
amalgamated in the middle ages with
the Golden Horde Of Kirghiz from the
desert Of Khiva, which swept through
eastern Europe like a cyclone. Many
OF those desert warriors settled here,
and from them descended the hardy,
fearless. uncompromising race, who
continued to fight for their independ-
dence long after Georgia and the Cir
cassians had acknowledged the SOW
erefgnty Of the car. Fifty years ago
Daghestan was called the graveyard

Early last Thursday morning the

came to Malta. SO anxious were ali
the small boys to see the elephants
that they did not need calling num-
ber of times that morning but were
up with the first rosy blush of the
dawn and out to where the animals
were being unloaded.
The gold, glittering street parade
given at noon was rather long draWlt
out with no open dens of wild beasts.
The three bands, gorgeous chariots,
the lady and gentlemen equestrlans
and the pretty ponies, with the steam
caliope following, pleased the crowds
lined up along the streets to witness
the parade.
There were few good animals and
much to the delight of the children
there were three elephants and a
camel. "A good menagerie plays no
small part in the natural science edu-
cation of the country boy orgirl. The
shows carrying animals that have
visited Malta have been so few and
far between that the exhibition of the
animals in the Sparks show was much
appreciated. There were few adults
in Malta that had never seen an ele-
phant or camel until last Thursday

MINNESOTA BOOSTS MONTANA
GOVERNOR NORRIS AND J. j. HILL DISCUSS CONSERVATION
AND DEVELOPMENT IN MONTANA

"My Judgment is that the govern
ment should convey it's sites to the
states, but under such conditions as
to furnish guaranty that the states
could not fritter away their rights to
private interests without adequate
consideration. Even then the states
should reserve the right to regulate
the prices charged to consumers for
water.
"The Montana idea is that the
states should own, dispose OF and
regulate the disposal of natural re-
sources situated in the state and that
the state can dispose of these resour-
ces more wisely than the federal gov
ernment can or will. The experience
of the last few years has demonstrate
ed that the states have frittered
away fewer of their resources than
has the federal government.
PERSONALLY, am strict conser-
vationist, and believe that the states
and not the federal government
should own, control and dispose OF
all natural resources. l have every
sympathy with those who have urged
conservation and differ from them
rather in methods.
Il have no patience with certain
conservationists who would rather
withdraw our resources from reason
able present development and use
We owe much to future generations
but we owe more to the present
ones.
"Take but do not destroy; use, but
do not waste-this should govern tht
disposition of our natural resources

sources are national resources, as
some of those living in the East seen
to hold. They have eaten their cake
and now want some of ours.'
