ICE BREAKS
And is Going Out All Along the Old
MUDDY

The first break in ice occurd
here last Sunday, and according
to the Bismark Daily Tribune of
Mar. 1 { and Pierre Daily Dakotan
of the 18th, seems to have been
breaking up all along the line sim
ultaneously, something not occur
ing very often. This is about two
weeks earlier than it occurd last
year. But very little logs or
driftwood is as yet coming down
indicating that no breakup had as
yet taken place on the streams in
Montana, or on the ellowstonc, at
the first of the week.
The water and ice here reached
the hull of the ferryboat ACMaria
but not enough to float it. Wed
nesday afternoon the water fell
several inches, leaving ice piled up
all around the fcrryboat and up
and down the river on the Forest
City shore.

COOPERATION IS A DREAM"

And the cooperative dream is
coming true. 1t used to be that
about the only cooperation we
could rely upon was that which
had as an end the wiping out of
some opponent. There is still
altogether too much of the ''swat-
your r-neighbor" spirit in the world
and it too frequently creeps into
our cooperative counsels. Cooper
alton based upon that foundation
is sure to 60 to smash. But the
kind that is growing most rapidly
today is of the finer sort that tries
to put into practice the advice Of
the Teacher who bade us love our
neighbors even as ourselves. =

MAIN UNINHABITED

in search of a fabulously rich island,
it is estimated to have been inhabited
by $4,000 Indians, who vigorously re-
scented the intrusion and prevented
the newcomers from getting a foot
hold for more than a century. The
Jesuits then came in and were Won
derfLlly successful in exploring the
peninsular and establishing missions.
They established three main trails,
one along each coast and the third
down the middle, which serve as the
regular routes of travel today. The
Indians have vanished from all parts
of their former territory, except few
in the extreme northern end.
During the last half century all
parts Of the territory have been visit
ed, mainly by Americans. in search
of mines and other natural resources,
but little of the knowledge gained has
become available to the public. Gold,
silver, copper, iron and other minerals
and much fertile land have been found,
but the scarcity of water, fuel, forage,
and the difficulties of transportation
have united with other causes to bring
about failure to develop the resources.
The climate of Lower California in
general is hot and arid. Northern con-
ditions are closely like those in ad-
joining parts Of southern California;
in the middle they are more arid, but
the extreme southern end, though arid
! tropical, has more regular summer
rains. The peninsular suffers long
periods of drought, during which no
rainfall sufficient to start vegetation
occurs over large areas for periods Of
from three to five years. These dry
periods may be succeeded by torren-
tial rains, which sweep the country
and roll great floods down to the sea.
Surface water is scarce and limited
mainly to isolated water-holes in the
rocks or to springs from which small
streams flow short distance. The
Rio Santo Domingo is the one living
stream within the peninsular which
flows on the surface from its source

conditions have resulted in the de-
velopment of the richest and most
extraordinary desert flora in the world.
The bird and mammal life, however,
is closely related to that of southern
California. The plains abound with
small desert manuals, such as RABBITS,
pocket mice, kangaroo rats and others.
A large number of the smaller desert
mammals never drink water, it having
been found impossible to teach some
of them to take water in captivity.
Antelope, mountain sheep, mule-deer
and mountain lions are the only large
game animals.
The peninsular is thinly peopled
and enormous areas remain uninhabit-
ed. The most popular section is the
region south of La Paz, where rains
are more regular than further north.
