Rustles the lizard and the cushats chirre.
In the same poem he rimes "sulk-

Montana Power Company
Will Furnish Power for
Fifty Miles of
Work

Washington, January What Secre'
tary Fisher believes today to be tht
beginning of the eectrification of al
transcontinental railroads will be marked
by a grant to the Great Falls, Mont,
Power company TO transmit over public
domain under strict government regula-
tions, power for the electrifcation of 45C

railroad between Harlowtown, Mont, and

pany was willing to accept the fullish
provisions for the protection of public
interests even where all 1t was asking
was for a transmission line, is of even
greater Importance from the public ben
eft point of view, asserted Secretary
Fisher than the further great augmen-
tation Of electrical current which must
follow.
Secretary Fisher said ii demonstrated
protection of the public interest upon
which the department of interior insists,
granting water power rights in small
areas, but enhances the rural facilities
for quickened transportation in the hand
ling of the farm products reached by
the tap lines. He said the government
had found it could cooperate effectively
in fixing terms of a grant so as to rec
ognize both public and private rights
The grant of so years issued in March,
1872 regulated all quasi public utilities
in the country. The grant is subject TO
readjustment every 10 years. 1t provides
for regulation of rates and service; the
sale of energy to tn United States, to
the several states and to the n.unicipali-
ties as at low rate as given other
consumers and prohibits the transfer of
the permit without the approval of the
Secretary OF the Interior.
In addition to furnishing power for
electrlfcation of part of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound railroad
the Great Falls Power company also
will deliver power to the mines at Butte
and Anaconda and to all other classes
of power consumers which can be served
by them.
Interior department officials think that
much of 1t ultimately will be used for
pumping irrigation water and reclaiming
much arid land.
The amount of rental charged the power
company during the first 10 years will
be nominal, and Secretary Fisher said

Community Necessities

Too many people regard the
support of churches in commu-
nifty as charity. They are neces-
sity, and ought to be supported
literally. Every dollar paid to
their support is dollar we'll
spent. 1t is true in some instances
there is too much demanded of the
supporters. There is extrava-
gance in that line CT work as in all
other lines, but they are the ex-
ception rather than the rule. Both
schools and churches are entitled
to support and they are not OBJ
jects of charity. They are essen
tlals in every neighborhood.
