The Power Of Water

The power of water is enormous. A
tiny jet of water descending 1900 feet
travelling at the rate of 100 yards a
second, cannot be cut into with an axe
or a sword. 1t will fracture the best
blades of Toledo steel. 1t will hurl an
X through al oak plank. 1t is quite
impossible for a man to cut this
stream through.
To compute the power of falling
water it is necessary to multiply the
volume Of flowing water in cubic feet
per minute by it's weight, 62.5 pounds,
and this product by the vertical height
of the fall in feet, and divide by $4,000,
the number of foot-pounds represent.
ing l hip. for l minute. A stream OF
water when flowing over a weir five
feet in width by n foot in depth al
the rate of one foot a second and hav,
ing a fall of twenty feet, develops
| eleven horse power.

Extend Irrigation Payments

Washington, Feb. 1S.-An agree
ment upon an extension from 10 to
20 years of the time within which
water users may pay back to the gov,
eminent the cost of construction of
irrigation projects, was reached at a
conference last night, between Secre-
tary lane and officers of the reclama-
ton service and Senator Smith of
Arizona, and Representative Smith of
Texas, chairman Of the congressional
committee on irrigation.
The conference agreed that expert
ence had shown that the present per.
iod of ten years was too short to en-.
able the settlers to reimburse the
government. There are % national
irrigation projects scattered mons
II states. in which the government
has invested from $4,000, 900 to $780,
600, 900.

Would Suppress Loan Sharks

New York, Feb. 17.-With the pur-
pose of correcting the loan shark evil
throughout the country by making it
possible for deserving persons of
small means to borrow money at rea-
sonable rates and without collateral,
there was Incorporated at Richmond,
Va, today a company known as the

Commission with a capital of $6,OOO,-

ly the organization throughout the
country of local institutions which
will afford Industrious and needy
wage-earners and all other small Dor
rowers the opportunity for borrowing
small sums on just and fair terms,
and at the same time promote say.

Voters Favor Saloons

Oakland, CAL, Feb. 18.--An initia-
tive ordinance doubling the statutory
number of saloons was carried at an
election today. Four hundred sa.
looms now are permissible. With 1872
precincts reported out of 16S, the vote
stood $4,000 for the new ordinance
and 10,7SS against it. The saloon Ii.
cense is reduced from $1,000 to $3.50.
The action today was a reputation
of an ordinance passed by the city
commission last October ordering the
reduction of the number of saloons
from 400 to 200 and increasing the Ii
cense from $500 to $1,000. Today's
vote puts the matter where it was be
fore the commission acted, except fol
a single increase in the license.

PRESIDENT MAY OBJECT
Literary Test in immigration Bill
Disapproved by Wilson

Washington, Feb. 17.-President
Wilson's veto is waiting for the Bur-
nett immigration bill if it passes con-
gress, providing for the much-discuss-
ed literacy test, according to the best
information today in circles close to
the White house. The definite news
of the presidents opposition to the
test came as a surprise to many who
were led to believe he favored it.
Senators of the committee, demo.
Gratis and republicans alike, said
again today that the literacy test
would be retained Notwithstanding the
probability of presidential veto. They
expect it to pass by a large majority.
Whether any attempt will be made to
repass the bill over the veto none
cared to predict.
| Some senators said that Chairman
Smith had been informed tina.
President Wilson would not sign
their bill. 1t was also declared tina,
the committee would pursue it's work
along lines originally contemplated.

applied for citizenship papers during

THE MONTANA GRAIN PRIZES

From New York to Texas. and from
state of Montana makes a sensation
and sweeps the prizes when it comes
to making grain exhibits. Montana
wheat took the first prize some years
ago at the worlds competition land
show at Madison Square Garden in
New York. 1t was grown in Cascade
county. In several international and
interstate competitions Montana took
first prize for barley offered by the
National Brewery association. The
winning brewers barley was raised in
Gallatin county. Within the last few
days Montana has again swept three
first prizes for grains, wheat, durum
wheat and barley, besides a first prize
for alfalfa seed at the great National
Corn Show in Texas, These were
raised in Park county.
In all these competitions the Mon
tana grains have been up against keen
rivals from nearly all the grain grow
ing states of the union and of Canada.
To win national prizes for the best
bushel or sheaf of grain in these ex.
hibitions is, of course, pleasing to
Jul state pride. To hold the record
for great crops, such as SO bushels OF
wheat to the acre. and 1873 bushels OF
oats in the same field is also pleasing
to Il state pride. But the thing that
really counts is not these exceptional
record breaking crops and prize win
ming hand picked samples, but the av
erage crop of grains raised in Mon
tana as a~scertained by the United
States bureau of statistics. And this
unprecedented and careful investigation
of facts puts Montana far and ava,
ahead of all the states of the unio1
for the average grain crops yielded il
bushels per acre. 1t does this yea
after year. There is no doubt tina
Montana not only can but does rails,
larger and better crops Of grain thai
any state in the union on the average
That is another way of saying that i
is the best farming land.
Last year the state had an emo.
NOUS development of its farming in
terest. More settlers than ever be
fore came to Montana and stayed
here. They brought with them ia
more horses and stock and farming
implements than ever came in durin,
a single year in this state. The!
made good citizens and taxpayers
They made business good all over the
state. We hope that the record o.
last year may be duplicated this year

Cattle Rates Suspended

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Inter
state Commerce commission has sus.
pended until June s, 1914, the opera
ton of increased rates applicable to
the transportation of livestock from
certain stations in the states of Tex.
as and New Mexico, to interstate
points. The present rate on range
cattle and horses in carloads, from
Texico, N. NJ, destined to points in
Montana and other states is made by
adding a differential of $2.75 per car
to the rate applicable from Amarillo,
Tex. Proposed arbitrary to be added
to the rate from Amarillo on traffic
originating at Texico is $9.4O per car
Numerous other points of origin are
likewise affected.

There is evidence that it will be so.
There is nothing more to be desired.
Montana has been called the Treasure
state because of the gold and silver
and lead and copper. and other metals
that have been extracted out of the
ground. We would not speak lightly
of their value to the state. The money
that M to Montana through the
development of its mineral resources
is great. But vast as it is, it will be
small in a few years compared to the
wealth produced on its agricultural
land provided that the present rate OF
settlement and development is kept
up.-Great Falls Tribune.

Stronger Than Dynamite

A writer in Harper's Weekly de-
scribes a new explosive, to which the
name of margarine has been given. 1t
is said to be not only stronger and
safer, but cheaper. than dynamite.
At some recent trials held at Camp
Bay, in South Africa, says the writer,
a %four-ounce cartridge was fired in a
hole bored in a rock, with the result
that the rock, although it was embed,
ded three feet under ground, was tori
asunder.
In subsequent comparative trials
with dynamite, made upon rocks and
boulders, the manganite succeeded in
dislodging a block of stone weighing
about seven tons. The safety of man,
ganite, it is claimed, has been demon.
strated by the most careful tests.

Protest Cattle Tax

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 1S.-Declaring
that the proposed tax of SO a head on

men of Sonora sent a vehement pro-
test today to Governor Maytorena at
Hermosillo.
One of the principal protestants is
a cattle man who contracted some
time ago to sell in the United States
1000 head of cattle at a price which
would bankrupt him If he has to pay
the export duty proclaimed by the
constitutionalist government officials.

NEGLEcTiNc OPPORTUNITIES

It may be true that Opportunity
4S,ocks but once at each mans door.
But it is true, also, that she knocks
all the time-her once is always. Ever
there is an opportunity to do some
thing. ever there is opportunity to be
something. At all times we have at
hand the chance to make good.
The trouble with most of us is that
we size up the other fellows oppor-
tunity and imagine that it is better
and bigger than our own and, conse.
quently, we conclude that there is not
much use in any effort on u part.
So we let our W opportunity get a
lame arm and sore knuckles, knock
ing at u door.
There is something which each one
of us can do we'll and it is the duty
of each one of us to do that thing
we'll when nee we find out what It
is. The time we waste in grieving
because our chance is not as good as
our neighbours, is time lost. If we i'm
proved it in making the best use of
it. our chances, in the long run, would
size up just as we'll as the next mans
Every town, just the same as every
man, has a chance which is peculiarly
it's own. If it's citizens take advantage
of that opportunity and turn it to the
benefit and the advantage of their town
they will have a real city before they
know it.
Every business possesses some in
dividual characteristic which, if used
the right way, will bring success and
plenty of it. But the manager of a
small business who spends his time
fretting because it is small, will never
make it big. If, however, he directs
his energies and his talents to build
ing up the business which has been
placed in his hands, he will have an
extensive establishment as a direct
consequence Of his having taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity which was
his.
Every school has opportunities
which One of it's contemporaries car
boast. If it's faculty will direct the
energy of their efforts toward taking
advantage of these special OppOrtuni-
ties, there will be a great school de-
veloped along right lines and by right
methods.
There is nothing quite so democrat.
izing as a spirit of discomfort and dis
satisfaction. The grumbler doesn't
get very far. His opportunity has a
hard time. But some day, when his
crouch disappears, he will discover
that opportunity is waiting for him, pa
tiently wondering why the delay has
been so great.
There are instances of record where
one man has prospered with a peanut
stand while a neighbor made a failure
of a greater merchandising oppOrtuni
ty in a store near at hand. The pea.
nut man improved his opportunity.
The other man didn't. That's the diff
ference. And a slight opportunity
improved is better than a great one
which is disregarded.
Nobody ever got anywhere by
growing. 1t is the man who grasps
his opportunity and makes the most
of it, who gets ahead. And with men.
so with. towns. 1t is the hustler that
wins.-The Missoulian.
