DECLARES CONSERVATION
PROPAGATES ANARCHY

Criticism of the present con-
servation system in the United
States, because of the power it
gives to the department heads in
Washington to regulate affairs in
great areas Of the western states,
was voiced lin the senate last
week by Senator Thomas of Colo
rado. He declared the present
system of withdrawing water
power sites from public entry
was actually tending toward
strengthening monopoly rather
than hindering it, and that the
system followed as to great areas
of the forests was working hard
ship and injustice to the west.
Senator Thomas speech was
against the feature Of the Con-
necticut river dam bill which
would establish the right of fed
cral control over water powers.
He declared he favored wise con-
servation, but that plans followed
in the past had not been for the
best interests of the country. BY
withdrawing large areas of pow
er sites from entry, he said, the
government merely had strength
ened the hands of those private
individuals who held valuable
power concessions.
The western water powers,
said Senator Thomas, had be-
come non-usable, because capital
would not develop them when
the government retained the
right to change its conditions
and requirements whenever de-
partment officers considered it
wise. Senator Thomas said he
believed the states should take
over the public water powers,
produce electricity as a puplic
utility and sell it throughout the
states.
Residents Of the west who
come in direct contact with the
results of the forest service or
ders, the senator declared, were
best able to judge of the wisdom
of the forest service policies.

CRITICISM FOR RECLAMATION

plans for irrigating such lands.
These plans are submitted to the
Indian office, and when approved
by the reclamation department
of that bureau, the reclamation
service proceeds to do the work.
On the Gila River Indian reser-
vation we have seen how this
system works out. We believe
that the conditions disclosed on
the Gila make necessary a thor
ough investigation of the oper-
ations Of the reclamation service
in connection with all Indian
reservations.
''The matter of purchases,
sales, and rentals by this service
should be overhauled. Many
millions of dollars have been
spent for materials, supplies,
lands, canals, water rights, etc.
Millions have been realized from
the sales of power. water, real
estate, and materials, and from
rentals and carrying charges for
irrigation water. The bare fact
that there never has been an in
vestigation of these matters is
sufficient, irrespective of the
demonstrated incompetency--and
perhaps worse-of the service,
to justify congress at this time
in making a searching inquiry" "

FLATHEAO COUNTY SENATOR
THROWN FROM HOUSE FLOOR

The long monetony was brok-
en- in the lower house of the
legislature last Thursday and
the spectators in the gallery
were given an entire change of
program. 1t all occurred over
the personel of the steering COM
mittee named by Speaker Mac
Donald, the. progressives and
"platform democrats" taking
exception to the fact that their
parties had been ignored in the
selection of this committee.
A battle Of words ragged for
several hours and eliminated in
blows being struck on the floor
of the housr. The lie was pass
ed between Representative Love-
lace and Senator Whiteside, the
latter being accused of spiriting
Representative Jordan away. A
few minutes later the senator
from Flathead was forcibly eject
ed from the house chamber.
A compromise regarding the
makeup of the steering committee
was reached later and the dove Of
peace is again lowering over
Montana's solons - at least from
surface Indications.

Signs of a Good Cow

The ability to utilize and con-
vert food profitably into butter
and milk varies with individual
cows. Among both ordinary and
ure-bred animals the variation
in this respect is remarkable.
Although the final proof of the
value and of her right to be kept
in the herd should depend upon
her ability, as it often happens
that a dairyman has to rely upon
his judgment. The milk and
butter producing qualities Of the
cows must be accompanied by

general vigor and other qualities
that are characteristic.
Milk is produced by the COW
from the food she consumes.
Therefore her capacity for pro-
ducing milk depends largely on
her capacity for digesting and
assimilating food as indicated by
the long, deep barrel with well
sprung ribs. The udder's ac-
tivity is indicated somewhat by
the amount of blood passing
through the milk veins which
are connected Herewith. The
energy of the dairy cow is d.
rected toward the production of
milk. This tendency has been
increased by inheritance and de-
velopment and the tendency to
lay on flesh has been restrained.
This has resulted in an animal
with a fine head and neck, light
front forequarters, sharp withers
spare crops and a thin, angular
body.
1t takes a smart man to select
the best and poorest COWS from
a herd, using only outside con.
formation in making his selection
IL has been demonstrated time
and again that about the best
that the most expert cow judge
can do is to select from a herd OF
cows that are among the best OF
among the worst, as the case
may be, and then the scales OF
the Babcock tests often put the
expert to shame. While we can
not tell every time which is tho
best cow in the herd by merely
looking her over, these outside
indications point in a majority 0.
cases to the good COW. William

Chances are Good

A telegram was received We'd
nesday by |. M. Brandjord, pres
ident of the Roman Commercial
club, from Hon. A. j. Brewer,
stating that his amendment to
the general new county law now
stood a good chance of passing
both houses of the legislature.
The bill has been favorably re-
ported by the house committee
and its chances are much better
than before the Red Apple ban
quet. There was some good
missionary work done by a num-
ber of persons in Missoula favor
able to the amendment and a
little more good work would not
hurt anything. Should Mr..
Brower's bill pass, it will be pos
sible for the people of the reser-
walton to organize a new county
at anytime they think the condi-
tions warrant such action, re-
gardless of the legislature. 1t
has some excellent provisions
which would be Of great benefit
to many sections of the state be-
fore the legislature meets again.

Lake County Meeting

A telephone message was re-
ceived Wednesday afternoon ask
ing that a meeting be called for
Thursday night for the purpose
of discussing county division.
Thursday afternoon j. B. Dens-
more, Geo. Harrel and F. H.
McDermott arrived here and
commenced to circulate among
the people. A meeting was
called at the Headquarters hotel.
A representative number of citi-
zens were present. The gentle
men explained the condition and
the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. The bill calls for the
county line two townships south
of Camas and running east to
the Flathead river. Then it
drops south a few miles north of
Dixon and runs east to the Mis-
sion mountains. Poison wants
the county seat. Roman also
wants the county seat. They
also want to name most OF the
officers. The territory to be put
in the new county is all right,
but the county seat should be
located centrally in the new
county to save costs. The plea
being made that it is economy to
organize on a small assessment
is good in regard to the county
seat. 1t is better to start a new
town than to go to any other
town and spend enough to build
the county buildings in fighting
for a permanent seat of govern
ment. -Camas Signal.
Even though the Signal wants
a county seat of its own, made
especially to it's order, still it
might we'll be fair. Roman is not
responsible for the acts of Pol
son, and because a committe of
Poison gentlemen visited Camas
and attempted to persuade the
the people of that section to en-
dorse a county division scheme
prepared and backed by Poison
people, is no grounds for assert
Ing that Roman is also back of
the movement. The Pioneer can
state truthfully that Roman has
been opposed to the Lake county
bill just as earnestly as the Sig
nal appears to be, and undoubt-
edly has done more to defeat it.
Roman had nothing to do with
defining the boundaries, prepar-
ing the bill or naming the county
officers. 1t is a Poison product
in it's entirety. Our friend Rhone
would be doing his readers in
the Camas country a favor by
giving them the facts instead of
attempting to prejudice them
against the town of Roman for
purely personal reasons. Be fair;
that is all Roman asks.

tended the Red Apple banquet in
Missoula last Saturday evening.
1t was the sixth of the kind to be
held and each one grows in favor
with all who have attended pre-
vious banquets, many guests
coming great distances to be
presest.
A special train from Helena
brought 127 people and all of
them seemed to enjoy the trip
over and the entertainment fur
nished them after their arrival.
Representative Brewer of Roman
was in charge of the committee
escorting the Helena statesmen
and other distinguished guests,
and great credit is due for the
manner in which he did his as
signed part. He was everywhere
and nothing was left undone
which should have been done.
Immediately after the arrival
of the special train at 3:15, auto
mobiles were entered and they
were driven to the university,
where a reception was held at
the residence of President Craig
head. Mrs. Craighead was as
sisted by the faculty and their
wives in the reception, and this
was not the least of the many
ways of making the trip to Mis-
soula enjoyable as well as profit
able to the members of the legis-
lature. Those who had never
visited the institution before
must have gone away with a
more profound respect for this
branch Of the states higher edu-
cational institutions. The fac
ulty was in evidence at all times,
and the lady members especially
eXerted themselves.
The banquet started at 6:3O
with all the seats filled. The
tables were beautifully decorated
with small American flags and
the emblem Of the evening the
Mcintosh Red apple. The table
was loaded with good things to
eat, and everybody soon satisfied
the inner man. Excellent music
was furnished by the Missoula
band and the songs of the Glee
club were no small part of the
evenings entertainment. G. r.
Dallman furnished 1000 carna-
tions for the tables and guests.
. Judge w. M. Bickford was
toastmaster and he very grace
fully filled the position. He was
always there with the right talk
when introducing the speakers.
Judge j. M. Evans was the first,
being assigned the toast Of well
coming the guests to the banquet
board. His speech was a good
one and received many rounds of
hearty applause. Gov. Sam V.
Stewart was next and from many
words of commendation heard on
every hand while he was talk
ing and afterwards, the govern
or's talk was the one most highly
commented upon and most gen
orally accepted as ringing truest
Of any made that evening. His
hearers went away believing that
in Sam Stewart the people of
Montana have a governor, and
one who will be with them all
the time. He spoke in no uncer-
tain tone, voicing the sentiment
that he believed the present leg
islature would finally redeem it's
self and keep the promises made
the people of the state in the
platforms adopted by the parties
previous to election.

the irrigation work on the Salt
and Gila rivers in Arizona as a
basis, Representative Hensley of
Missouri, in a report to the house
from the committee on expendi-
lures in the interior department,
scathingly criticises the manage
ment of the reclamation service
and recommends an investigation
of the entire system of projects
and administration.
"The Indian interests have
been most outrageously inter-
mingled with the affairs of the
reclamation SERVICE" the report
says: The Pima and Maricopa
Indians have under the manage
ment of the interior department
been despoiled Of their farms.
Prior to the coming of the recla-
nation service to Arizona the ac-
tual farmer had water for his
land" 1t is charged that land
spectators have hourished.
The report says the irrigation
act of 1902 is masterpiece of
legislation and it has been called
into question. 1.-The innumerable
troubles that have arisen under
it's operation. have been and are
due to incompetence and mis- and
NAL administration" the report
adds. 1t charges the service
with spending large sums of
money for structures in the Ari-
zona projects, which could have
been built much cheaper.
In connection with the recla-
nation service and the projects
generally, the report says there
is no ownership of running
water in the arid states. The
only right recognized is beneficial
use. Appropriations Of water
are made under state laws.''
In the Arizona case the recla-
nation service is criticised for
not dealing direct with the far
mers, although the latter paid
money for their rights. The
treatment accorded the water
users is declared to be Shame
full"
Referring to the reclamation
service the report adds: 1T has
become the master, harsh, cruel,
unjust and accountable to no one
for it's conduct or it's expendi-
lures of the farmers and the
governments money" 1t de-
clares the business transactions
of the service in Arizona have
been conducted in the twilight
zone. If fraud does not exist,
many of the badges of fraud are
evidenced in the transactions.
Continuing it says: 1.-The inter-
ior department, especially since
the induction of Adams as acting
secretary, has demonstrated it's
determination to cover up past
incompetence and iniquities of
the service by a new series of
abuses.
Although $75, 900, 900 has been
expended on Indian reservations
on % projects, no accounting has
been made. We know of no de-
partment of any government in
history that has permitted offio-
ials who have continually demon
strated their scientific unfitness
gnd business incapacity to be
given apparent carte blanche at
the treasury and be permitted to
disburse so many millions with
out let, hindrance or account
ability to anyone. The mathe-
matical work of these engineers
would discredit a village high
school,"
Concluding the report says:
I'm the vicinity of many of
these projects are Indian reser-
vations containing irrigable land.
The reclamation service has de-
vised a system by which it takes

does not seem to think that a
telephone IN the land office at
Missoula was worth the tolls re-
ceived from all over the reserva-
ton, as the telephone has been
removed from the land office.
This makes it difficult for intend
ing locators to secure any infor-
nation from the land Office with
out waiting the slow process of a
letter going to and returning
from Missoula. The tolls from
this service in the past have been
very large and it looks like short
sightedness on the part of the
company to discontinue the same.
1t is an imposition on the public
also, which will be remembered
by a great many.

Fish Fry For Roman

Ross Lenlire received a letter
this week from H. d. Dean su-
perintendent of Montana State
Fisheries, acknowledging the
receipt of a request for $4,000
brook trout. This fry will be
planted in Spring creek about
April 1st, and will stock the
streams tributary to Roman with
trout fry in a manner which in a
few years will make fishing ex-
cellent for years to come. They
are sent upon request of any one
who will guarantee to transport
them from the railroad to the
distribution point and more peo-
pie living along the streams of
reservation should take an inter-
est in this stocking of the creeks.
