The past year has seen still further
progress made towards the Improvement
of the service by means of the motoriza-
tion of its apparatus. During the year
a motor engine and motor hose wagon
and two two-wheel motor tractors were
installed, and appropriations have been
secured for still additional apparatus OF
this kind, so that the District Of colum-
bia can feel assured that within a few
years It's fire department will be inferior
TO none when apparatus is considered.
The principal changes In personnel IN
the department during the year were
caused by the deaths Of Capt. T. 7. War
ren and Privates W. ]. Nelson and 7. F.
McKeever.
The officers and members Of the depart
ment throughout the year performed
their duties with Characteristic energy
and efficiency, and the city has been
fortunately free from serious conhagra-
tions.

this section is the safest and
e st part of Montana;
weather bureau statistics
bear out this assertion and
we who have been here for
the past three years know it
to be a fact. We should not
devote too much of our time
and energies to petty
politics this fall. There is
no big issue at stake in the
campaign. We should unite
in a campaign to morally
and financially encourage
preparations for a big crop
in the coming year.

alfalfa and garden truck can
be produced in great abund-
ance by the magic of water,
but that on the broad street
ches of bench lands which
comprise the greatest part of
the states area, irrigation at
from $50 to $40 an acre with
additional charges for ditch
maintenance would not
prove profitable for small
grain culture. 1t is the
belief of the best authorities
who have made a study of
the climate and soils of this
western plains region that
success will follow careful
tillage and summer fallow-
ing four years out of five.
If this be true the dry-land
farmer is better off in the
long run than the grain
raiser under the ditch, who

Indications point unerr-
ingly to a Swing of the
cycle" of dry weather. What
rain has fallen in the past
week will work wonders in
preparing the soil for fall
blowing and possibly for
winter grain. Experts on
the question say that fall ir-
rigation is the best kind.
Evaporation will not be so
great from henceforth and
chances now are that when
freeze-up comes there will
be considerable moisture in
the soil for the spring crops.
The Pioneer Press believes
it is the duty of every bust
ness man and every person
interested in this comm
unity's welfare to help in
spire a spirit of optimism
and to encourage the best
kind of preparation for an
other crop. Nearly all the
grain growing nations Of
Europe are in deadly conaict
and even if the war dose moi
last very long it will be /.
long while before the people
will be in shape to return Il
the arts of peace. So tn,

considerations should be i'm
pressed on the people wh,
seem discouraged and inclin

Recently, in Congress,
when Congressman T o m
Stout of Montana was max
ing a speech urging irriga-
ton extension, a representa-
tive from Pennsylvania broke
in and was given the pri-
vilege of asking Mr.. Stout a
few questions, which pri-
vilege was granted. I h e
Pennsylvania congressman
wanted to know if Mr.. Stout
could prove that farming in
the far west was profitable
If from $50 to $40 was assess
ed for irrigation. He stated
that in New York and Penn
|sylvania farming land could
be purchased with improve
ments at this figure, closer
to the markets and the base
of supplies, where freight on
things consumed and produc-
ed was much lower. This
was evidently somewhat of a
sticker to Mr.. Stout, because
he evaded an answer, accord
ing to the printed report,
Mr., Stout very likely ap-
pFeciates the fact that irriga.
tion is a splendid thing in the
valleys Of the state, where

is insured against but one
thing, drought; and who has
to take chances on hot
winds, hail, frost and insects
just the same as the nom

the yearly tax for irrigation
whether he needs it or not.
