AN EDITORS STORY

The following story was told re-
Gently at press banquet: "An edl-
tor died and was, of course, directed
to ascend to the abode of the just.
But during the ascent the editors
curiosity asserted itself, and he said:
lis it permitted for one to have a
look at-er-the other place?"
"Certainly," was the gracious re-
ply, and accordingly descent to
the other place was made. Here the
editor found much to interest him.
He scurried about and was soon lost
to view.
His angelic escort got worried at
last and began systematic search
for his charge. He found him al
last. seated before furnace, tanning
himself and gazing at the people ir
the fire. On the door of the furnace
was plate saying, "Delinquent sub.
scribers.
"Come," said the angel to the edi-
tor, 1--WE must be going"
"You 60 on" the editor answered
without lifting his eyes. "I'm mo-
coming. This is heaven enough fol
me-"

In the vigorous and remarkable
fight which Senator Thomas H. Car
ter, of Montana. is making to force
through Congress bill providing for
the issuance of $50, 100000 worth of
certificates of indebtedness for use in
completing government irrigation
projects, rests the future of arid
lands. If the additional funds, pro-
vided for in Senator Carter's bill, are
made available, it will be possible
for the Reclamation Service to COM
plete within the next three years
practically evory one of the federal
projects under way.
Once these projects are completed,
they will become revenue producers,
through the payment for water
rights, and the funds can be used to
begin work IN other districts. If
the bill is defeated, the work on the
various projects must go along very
slowly-lag, in fact, to such an ex-
tent that it may become national
scandal and result in the abandon
ment of government reclamation.
Such thing in the eyes of many OF
the Vests most substantial citizens
would cause untold hardships tc
many settlers and retard western de.
velopment.

Coming events cast their shadows
.nd the Chamber of Commerce
Though the Montana press is ous''y
engaged agitating the subject OF
better roads for the State, and trying
70 arouse and stimulate interest IN
the Good Roads, convention to be
held at Billings in June. So tar as
the people of this part OF valley
county are concerned, better roads
are needed and would be much ap-
preciated. We wonder if our county
commissioners are aware of the fact
that three or four of the roads lead
inc into Malta contain buffalo wal
lows that are almost impossible in
bad weather. These SO called bad
p]aces' are only a short distance
from town and should have received
attention before this. The appro-
priation for the improvement OF our
public highways should be large
enough, if wisely used and correctly
distributed, to insure US better roads
Mayor John A. Tressler, realizing
the Importance of the Billings gooc
road convention, has appointed Har'
ry Cosner, VIM. Mcclellan and b
w. Brockway to attend the meeting
and represent Malta.
The following dispatches from Bill

EAST BOOSTS FOR THE EAST

And now New England is booming
enthused over exhibit cars. One OF
our eastern exchanges has this to
say of improved farming in the east:
"The agricultural college on
wheels is we'll known in the west.
The special car which is sidetracke.
at this town and that, while the ac-
companying lecturer descants upon
corn growing or butter making, has
come to be familiar and welcome
feature of life in several states. The
idea is now taking in New England,
where worn-out soil and languish-
ing agricultural industry require
stimulus.
"This delayed venture is under the
auspices of the State Of Massachusetts, !;
the state agricultural college, the
board of agriculture and the state
dairy bureau all have hand in it.
The program is so much more thor
ough and complete than is commonly
the case in the west as to raise this
"Better Farming Special" to some
thing like a norm.
instruction in dairying and in the
use of fertilizers is but the beginning
The poultry raiser will be regaled
with scientifically fashioned hen
coops and feeding boxes. The fruit
grower will be instructed in planting
and pruning. Live gypsy moths and
such live pests will be shown, along
with the parasites that feed upon
them. Forestry and reforestation
will receive due attention, and an ap-
paratus for fighting forest fires will
be carried along with "demonstra
tions' for the farmers.
"Industrial Massachusetts has tax
en- her time, but she has now set tc
work to regain her lost agricultural
standing and has put on the road the
most thoroughly equipped enterprise
yet attempted. 1t is we'll. Man can
not live by shoes, cotton, and Attic
boro jewelry alone; even on rocky
and far from virgin soil the "returr
to nature" is worth trying for.'

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

ter up with view of getting a num-
Der of them sent to Billings, where
they will be shown during the meet
ing.
Convicts clad in the regulation
"stripes" and working assiduously
on Virginia highway, is one of the
scenes portrayed, and another taken
n one of the western states which
believes not in convict labor shows
enterprising farmers at their task, to
the improvement of the roads and
the great benefit Of the common
wealth.
Views along postal routes; wagons
stuck in the mud; mail hours behind
time; farmers virtually marooned ON
account of them, and unable to get to
market, will reveal most graphically
to delegates and visitors the i'm
portance of improved highways in
the Treasure State.
Another set of films will bring
to the spectators the other side OF
the story, where the wagons of the
husbandmen, heaped high with the
product of his toll are being trans
ported to market over roads that are
apparently as smooth and as firm as
macadam. demonstrating at a glance
haw the feature of getting to market
is materially decreased, while the
tourist travel, one of the things court
ed in the western states, is revealed
by the big "ioy wagons" whirline
along the country roads with almost
the rapidity of railway trains.
It is believed these animated views
will be of much interest to the visit
ors, and will enthuse them in the de
termination of causing laws to b.
framed which will mean the materia
improvement of all highways of Mon
tana.

CARTER WORKING HARD
FOR IRRIGATION BILL
CARTER IS WORKING HARD TO FORCE BILL FOR ISSUANCE

MEANS MUCH TO THE MILK RIVER VALLEY

House. A great deal of opposition
has developed there and threatens to
defeat it. The bill can only be
saved by general demand through
out the West for it's passage. Al
ready many letters are pouring in on
senators and cengressmen and some
delegations have visited Washing-
ton to plead for the measure. More
letters and delegations are expected
to follow.
The passage of this bill means a
great deal to Montana, as the large
irrigation projects on which some
work has been done can then be
pushed to completion within a short
time.
The measure dees not in any way
increase the indebtedness of the
nation. 1t provides simply that the
Secretary of the Treasury shall be
empowered to issue certificates, pay
ing small rate of interest, which
shall be paid within five years out of
the public land funds. The public
land funds are now devoted to build
ing irrigation projects and the bill
offers legal means of advancing
money needed at this time on the
projects and which would ultimately
be used.

one can understand him. CoiJEies
have been mentioned but the opinion
has generally prevailed that whiie
practicable in a new country they
cannot be made to work in a well
settled section. We see no force in
this, such people want but a small
holding at first and therefore quite a
colony might be started on small
area.
To make it succeed. as many as
possible ofthose needing labor should
be interested in it, and we throw out
the following outline. Many Of our
most thrifty sections such as arretts-
vile. Pylesyille, Thomas Run. bar
lingtou, Churchville, Bel Air, Aber-
deem &c are suffering for farm and
domestic labor. In each and all OF
these tract OF fifty acres could
he bought for a modest sum,-say
81, 900. This could he divided into
ten hve-acre lots on each of which a
three hundred dollar house could be
erected and rented for four dollars
per month
A corporation should be formed
with capital stock Of s., 900 and
to insure general interest its stock
should be held as far as possible by
the neighboring residents. The land
and Improvements outlined would
cost $4,000 leaving $1,000 in the
treasury for further needs, while the
annual rental would amount to $50
or twice the interest on the invest
men:.
There would be no serious trouble
III placing ten thrifty Swedish. Ger
man or Lithuanian families in these
homes who could furnish the neigh
boring stockholders both domestic
and farm labor which would soon
become acclimated and useful.
Certainly the time has come Tor
some concerted action to relieve
present almost unbearable con-
ditIons; homes are not worth living
in for want Of help which cannot he
secured at any price. and the pro-
ductiyeness of farms is frequently
halved Tor want of suitable tillers Of
the soil.
The situation is all the more trying
because in many sections n color,d
population exists which is amply
large to furnish the needed labor, but
large proportion OF these have no
idea Of being caught at such business.
We have no war on the colored race
as such, and in its ranks can be
counted many extremely worthy
men and women. but when only the
biting cold of winter will prompt
man or a woman to render a churlish
service in most unsatisfactory style,
then such individual drones should
be driven from the hive. To this
thrlitlessness many add lewdness
which is most damaging to thosewith
whom they come in contact. When
it has been proven that their room is
worth more than their company,
then their company will improve
