THE MAKING OF COUNTIES

Montana has another county. 1t was created according
to law. The votes of its own people made the county of
and Carbon. Columbus is the county seat of the new or
ganization. The formation of the county was accom-
plished without much noise; there was no scandal connected
with the process. The law was followed and the county
was formed; that was all there was to it.
There were not many people in the state, outside those
who were directly interested, who knew there was an cleo
ton Saturday to decide whether or not the county of Still
water should be placed upon the map of Montana. The
vote was SO Overwhelmingly in favor of the proposition as
to leave no room for doubt as to the sentiment of the people.
Contrast this situation with the conditions in the Thir-
teenth assembly, attendant upon the passage Of the new
county bills which we're introduced there. These bills
created four counties, whether the people of the proposed
early in the session and for fifty days or more we're used as
clubs over the heads of some members and as a basis of bar
ter with other members. 1t was a deplorable state of
affairs.
Now, with the experience of Saltwater county before us,
it does not seem likely that there will be another attempt
to make new counties in the legislature. Governor Stew
true, but this action on the part of the executive could not
restore the time that was lost and could not make good the
damage which had been wrought through the trading and
jobbng which had been done with these bills as a basis.
The Saltwater way seems to be the right way to form new
counties. The people who are directly concerned are the
ones who should determine whether or not they shall have
a new county organization; they are the ones who know
best whether or not they can afford the expense of a sep
arate organization. Whenever they can do this, it is GER
tain that a new county is the right thing. But no COM
munity should have a county organization thrust upon it
by a lot Of political jobbers, just to pay off an old campaign
debt or to get even with somebody at the expense Of people
not concerned.
The county of Saltwater should become prosperous. 1t
embraces a splendid agricultural area; it has already some
thriving towns. Its separate county organization will bring
the government closer to the people and will simplify the
transaction of business. The verdict of the polls, Satur-
day, lett nothing to be said, it was so strongly in favor of
separate county existence that it was practically unanimous.
Old Yellowstone county has furnished the material for some
mighty fine counties and now she furnishes the nucleus for
another. And Saltwater, created by the people, bids fair
to be a credit to its mother.

There is no cleaner, more invigor-

mountain streams of western Mon

fishing here Is always good. There
is nothing which keeps men in better
trim, mentally and physically. thar to
get out into the hills and to fish along
the streams there. Business cares
and physical aches vanish before the
magic of outdoors. The angler re-
turns to his work. all the better for
having been out in the open. He is
a better citizen for having spent
a day with Mother Nature. There is,
of course, a considerable financial
benefit which will come to the state

Life-Savinq
Service
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

The United States life saving ser
vice has been a fully organized de-
partment of the federal government
since 1878, and was. the first in the
world to be put on a national basis.
1t has led all others since that time,
both in size and in the deVising and
use of inventions peculiar to its needs.
Inc United States has the longest
coast line of any maritime power and
he service necessarily parallels it.
Today it maintains IS districts and
2ac stations. The net annual ex-
pcnditures for the fiscal year 1912
1913 were $2,346, SS1.12. over ] 5000
miles of coast We're guarded ,includ-
ing $500 miles along the Great lakes.
Rescue work was extended to 1871
vessels, carrying 6,631 passengers, the
total value of commercial and per-
sonal property being $11,04S,42o, in
the past year.
notwithstanding the great length of
our coasts, which are very danger
Gus in some places, the life saving
along with very pitiful result for
" century,. lie massachusetts
society was the first in the
field in 1856, when it put a few nuts
along the most desolate and danger
parts OF the Massachusetts coast
for the succor of mariners. The first
hut was built on Lovelrs island, near
Boston. In 1907 it established the
firSt life boat station at Cohasset.
Federal interest began in 1S4S with an
appropriation to the society of $40, 900,
and later the government put real life
into its own small service at Cape
Cod. Interest, however, was a
modic until 1901, the winter of
which is memorable for several fatal
storms along the Atlantic coast Where
~life-saving stations should have been.
George S. Boutwell,, then secretary
Of the treasury, tool the matter up
with such vigor that he secured an
appropriation of $500, 900 on April 20,
1871. Then Sumner |. kimball, chief
of the revenue marine service, was
put in charge OF the life saving sta
ticns. He is the heart of the service
ard directs 1t today with the same
sympathy that he did AZ years ago.
An investigation, made in 1871 by Mr..
kimball and Captain John Faunce of
the revenue marine service, showed i
dcplorablc condition of affairs at the
various stations due to neglect and
lack of system. More help from on
eress was forthcoming thereafter. In
1873 congress provided for the organ
ization of the service, thanks to the
~eloquence of the famous congressman
Sunset Cox. The bill passed the
house of representatives without a
dissenting voice and barely lacked a
unanimous vote in the senate. Mr..
kilmhall was Immediately appointed
aad confirmed as general superin-
tendent and has held the position ever
since.
The majority of the 800 life-saving
stations, as we'll as the houses Of ref
uge, are located on the Atlantic coast,
although adequate provision is made
fer the Pacific coast, the Gulf of Mex
ice and the Great lakes. A unique
station is at the falls of the Ohio
river at Louisville, KY, and there is
! an interesting station on the lake

ELECTRIFlCATION.

The directors of the Pennsylvania
railroad system have decided to cleo
trify a twenty-mile stretch of track
out Of Philadelphia. 1t is expected
that trains will be running over this
section under electric power within a
year. New York City has had for a
number Of years electrical operation
of trains within a radius of several
miles of the central terminals. In our
WI Immediate neighborhood, we have
been interested for some time in the
plans of the Milwaukee to take ad-
vantage of the force of our mountain
streams to apply to the operation of
the system by electric power. The
four hundred miles of track included
in the early plans of this company
will, it is said, be extended to more
than twice thai extent before the
work is finished. 1t is worthy of note
that the practical obstacles to cleo
trical operation becomes much less
formidable as the railways find it is
to their advantage to use electricity
as power.

WILL EXPERIMENT
AS AN @AGR|CULTUR|ST

London, March 1.-THE Duke of
M~arlborough's announced Intention OF
placing 1000 acres of meadow land on
his estate at Blenheim under the pillow
has attracted great attention here.
The duke, who owns 10000 acres, has
chosen this method of Waging a cam
paign against the present govern
ment's proposed legislation in h di-
rection of the naturalization of land
in the British isles.
The duke argues that a private
landlord can administer his land more
cheaply and efficiently han the state.
He will endeavor to demonstrate his
theory showing that he can employ a
greater number of laborers, pay hem
better wages and produce a greater
yield thar would be possible under
state administration.
