FLATHEAD IRRIGATION.
(The Flathead Courier.)

lIhe Flathead COurier)
In spite of the reports that the
'crops are all burned up by the
drouth. it begins to look as if there
will be as much wheat marketed here
this year as ever. But one thing that
the threshing reports is proving is
that the people who can, have got to
irrigate, and that those who can not
get the water will have to adopt dry
farming methods. Land which was
under irrigation this season Is yield
ing twice, three and four times as
much as land which was not irrigated,
while on the other hand, land that was

a good firm seed bed was made is

used. The poorest returns are coming

HIS CONFIRMATION AS A
SUPREME COURT JUDGE

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Nor,
ris of Nebraska addressed the senate
for nearly four hours in executive ses

firmation of Attorney General
McReynolds as association justice of
the supreme court. He did not con-

No response was made by the de-

Investigators Morri on and Pagin into
the Standard Oil company's operations
following the government decree OF

1t will be explained by one OF the
majority senators tomorrow that pub

incompatible with the public interest;
that investigators and the attorney
general are in entire accord with ref
erence to the prolonged investigation
of the Standard Oil company, and
that in fact, the inquiry still is in

THE DISORDER IN BUTTE.

Almost all those capable of Judging
agreed long since that the disorders
IN butte in June and July were only
the beginning of a long series of la
hor troubles in Montanas METROPOLIS
1t was inconeeivable that the West
ern Federation of Miners would aban-
don the field without fight; and the
temper of the Butte Mineworkers'
union was too we'll known to permit
belief that its leaders would withdraw
from their original position
1t was also generally predicted that
in the event of serious differences be-
tween factions among the miners, the
employing companies would close
their mines-perhap to keep them
down until all possibility of violence
had been removed.
Missoulian readers are familiar With
the events which have led up to this
crisis. Early in June, certain seeding
members of Butte Miners union No
J., w. +. NJ. met and formed a tenn
porary organization. They had previ-
onsly refused to show w. T.. Nj. cards
at some of the mines declaring the
Federation strike assessment, which
had been levied for some months, for
the benefit of Federation strikers in
the Michigan copper peninsula, exor-
bitant, and unnecessary because the
strike in Michigan was confessedly
lost.

The liquor question is causing Congress

The liquor question is causing Congress
many shiver nowadays. 1t has become
apparent that the dreaded nationwide
prohibition movement will have to be
faced before the adjournment of the pre-
sent session, despite the efforts of our
national law makers TO dodge 1t.
The House Committee on Judiciary has
reported the Hobson joint resolution.
which submits to the States an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution prohi.
biting the manufacture and importation
of intoxicants in America. This resolu
ton is the most drastic measure of its
kind which has ever had a chance oil
coming up for a vote. Its passage by
the House andt Senate and ratification
by three-fourths Of the State Legislatures
would bring national prohibition.
Ithas been long and bitter fight, with
Congress lodging its responsibility on
account of the powerful pressure brought
to bear in party politics by the whiskey
gang, but the people win not be denied
and are slowly but surely forcing the rum

as one of our own family. But why

him, not entirely drawn by the attrac-

comes chiefly, perhaps, in obedience to
the historic sense which is innate in
good Americans. Wherever the his
toric sense may best be satisfed-in
