The government has several pumping

A MONG the many wonders accom-

more unique than the group of pumping
projects In North Dakota by which means
the hitherto uncomfortable Missouri River
is harnessed and made TO irrigate thou

only the touch Of water 10 make tnem

Since the earliest days of Western history
the Big Muddy" has been looked upon
as the most uncomfortable OF streams. The
keel boat men who pOled many adventures
up the streams in the days of the fur hunt
ers had countless thrilling experiences with
the erratic stream. Many a successful
trapper floating his furs back TO the st.
Louis market, struck snag in the boiling,
muddy river or was thrown against sand
bar by a clutchng eddy and was heard OF
no more.
In later years the ranchers who have
settled along the Missouri River have had
their troubles with the giant among

Of the mountains. Here the grizzly, the

If change, action, variety are the typical
earth marvels, then the majesty of air is
in repose. in simplicity, in vast spacious
ness. Those are the wonders of the Yosem-
ite. 1t is in truth an airy place. Confined
by walls as high as hels, it is washed
with such sunshine as might slant across
the highlands of heaven. Those cliffs are
! unspeakably vast, unspeakably cam-calm
as the clear sky, and seemingly as vast.
There are waterfalls flung down from their
heights like trailing white hags-1ags Of an
endless truce in that forgotten war that
split the valley.
The majesty Of Niagara is a majesty of
its own. II IS like the sea, yet It Is not

of them are guarded jealousy in the Yosem-
ite Park. 1t is a little thing 10 set beside
Niagara or Kilauea. yet 1t rounds out the
list curously well.
To care also for the American volcano is
the purpose of the new bill in Congress It
Kalanianaole. of the Island Of Hawaii. The
prince, as the delegate from Hawaii is
familiarly called, says that he has In his
district the only absolutely harmless and
yet continually active volcano extant For
many years il has been the custom OF the
tourist on route to or from the Orient to
stop off at the Hawaiian Islands Just to
see this freak Of nature The native of
Hilo, the city nearest the volcano, goes to
sleep each night as unafraid as the man
who lives adjacent to a mill dam in other
countries.

Kalanianaole. why should not the govern
ment set aside this wonderful spot as a
national park thus preserving It for all
time rs natural curiosity, to which the
tourist may well journey at any time, re-
gardless of time or expensc?"
The bill introduced in the House by the>
Delegate from Hawaii asks for an appro-
priatlon of not more than $4,000 for the
establishment Of the Kiauea National
Park. The proposed park would embrace
all the land comprising portions of the
lands Of Kapapala and Keauhou. in the
district of Kau, and Kahaualea, Panaunu
and Aqua, in the district of Puma, contain
ing approximately 1896 acres.
To begin with, the Hawaiian Delegate
tells Of an interesting legend concerning
the only occasion upon which Mauna Loa,
the summit Of the mountain of which the
volcano Kilauea is u part threatened
through its flow of lava to Zeal death and
destruction to the towns below The sum-
nit of the mountain sometimes emlts

THERE is a peculiar grandeur in the

It HERE is a peculiar grandeur in the
proposal, recently brought before
Congress that the volcano Kilauea, in
the Hawaiian Islands, should be made
national park. Few persons realize what is
the majesty and the variety Of the natural
monuments that are on American soil.
Still fewer realize what our great national
parks mean TO America. They are not
maintained to strike our curiosity; they are
10 awaken our reverence.
Men once held that all things. common.
household things. the world and the uni
verse around it, were composed of the four
elements-earth, air, water and fire. The
old belief was no mere fancy. For in
Vulnerable centuries the highest races of
mankind found that those four simple
names answered to four great, simple forms
in which all nature appeared to them To-
day nearly all of US think in the same
terms. We may be familiar with the theo-
ries Il modern chemistry and physics, but
when we look at a stream. house. an
aeroplane or a star we do not stop to re-
member them We still feel that all things
are either wet or solid or like air or like
fame The scientists have invented a new
language for nature in laboratories and
intellects. out Of doors and in our homes,
wherever nature touches our hearts or our
imaginations, we still feel her and speak
of her in the older. simpler way
Nor is it any trivial fancy to speak OF
our three greatest American parks as vast
displays of three Of natures four primal
forms. Ii Is not fancy, but literal fact,
, that a volcano is the sublimest agent OF
that fourth element, fire. II is not cheap
boast, but q solemn and beautiful truth,
that only one nation on earth has within
its borders a supreme manifestation of
each Of the four elements.
In very real sense the Yellowstone Park
IS a display Of the earth. Here is earth
stuff in plenty. and nearly all the agents
that have moulded 1t are still to be seen
at work. Here are the huge, rugged shoul-
ders Of the Rockies, ridged by earthquakes,
slashed with canyons. Here are great
streams and waterfalls still at their task
pf tearing down the heights and building
up the valleys. Here are smooth plains
and quiet lakes, with deltas and meadows
and slow moving rivers.
Here. too. is the giant sisterhood Of
geysers. white robod nuns who rise from

One of the remarkable features of this
project IS that the coal used for general

gravity to the furnaces at the power sta
