erty to City.

The first trial of the two million
gallon capacity pumping engine pur-
chased for the new city water works
plant several months ago. will be
made within the next day or two, &C
cording TO report of Supt. Kline to
the board Of public works at the Mon
day morning session. According to Mr..
Kline this will not be a test 10 deter
mine the efficiency of the pump, but
TO merely turn it over
The first test of the pump for con-
ditions of acceptance will not be made
for several days as the men in charge
of erection have not yet completed
their work. Mr.. Kline stated that wa
ter at the present is being pumped in
to the mains from the new wells, but
is not fit for domestic use or for drink
ing as the mains have not yet been
cleaned. The plant will also be shut
down again in few days and water
will be pumped from the river.
1t will still be several weeks before
the city we'll water supply will be
ready for use, as after the complete
installation of the new pumping en-
CINE several weeks will be required to
thoroughly clean the mains. The we'll
connections are now being made to
the new pump.
By action of the board Monday
morning it was ordered to purchase
two lots on y. Virgil St, ust adjoining
the city property. The consideration
is $50 According to a report of the
board A. ID. Warner has donated a lot
on Fourth ST, to the city to be traded
in as a partial consideration in the
purchase of the property. This means
a saving 70 the city of about 100.
The property to be purchased will
be held for future demands. 1t is
planned some time in the future to
build a large stand pipe or retaining
tank 10 aid city pressure in the event
that If would be necessary to shut
down one of the big pumps during a
critical time.
The committee appointed at the
meeting last week to investigate the
Barbee creek and drainage system on
E Fourth St was continued another
week. The committee reported that
the problem at this point must sooner
or later be solved and the board has
decided that action along this line will
be taken in the very near future.
The creek in question is south OF
Fourth St. to the Lake Shore. This
is the only exposed and open part of
the creek that now remains, large con-
crete pipes having been installed to
care for the water both north and
south Of this point If the improve
ment is made a 36-inch concrete pipe
will be used.

TT RAINED-THEN
1T RAINED SOME MORE.

The following excellent editorial
on the recent heavy rains in the
state is taken from the Great Falls
Tribune of May 17th
In The Tribune the past week
there have been press dispatches
from nearly all parts of the state
reporting rain. steady, continuous.
seeplng, life-giving rain. Perhaps
most of us have noticed these re-
ports, given them a hurried glance
and turned to the more sensational
stories of the sinking of the Lucita-
MIA or the battles waging in Europe.
That is habit of mankind, to pass
over those things which mean the
most to us and seek those things
which are the more sensational, the
more stirring and yet the less es-
sential. But those men who have
farmed in the semi-arid west, who
have titled the soil in regions where
rainfall is the important factor in
farming operations, read the &C
counts of the rain-and offer up
fervent' prayer of thanksgiving.
Farming in Montana is mainly a
question of two things, rainfall and
length of season. We have soil
second to none on earth. we have
growing weather in the summer
time and climate which makes for
all that is best in small grain rails
ing-provided we have time to ma
ture the crops and sufficient moist
ure to grow them. Both of these all
important questions are somewhat
under the control of man. if he cares
to take the trouble to do it, Our sea-
sons are Of ample length to grow al
most any crops if we but take adj
vantage of them. Take fall plow-
ing for instance, that will save the
farmer at least two weeks, will en-
able him to plant his spring grains
half month earlier if he but prac-
tices it, yet all our farmers do not
do it. Moisture is even more fully
under our control. The whole
scheme of dry farming is based up
on the conservation of the rainfall,
if not enough moisture falls to grow
crop in single season, then the
rains of two seasons are used to
grow the cropof one. We do this by
storing the water in the soil, by
holding it there until it is used by
the crop. There are various schemes
for doing this which we cannot take
the space to explain here, fall plow-
ing, summer fallow, the alternating
of cultivated crops with grain; all
these things conserve the moisture,
reduce the evaporation from the
soil which constantly goes on and
enable good crops to grow by maxi
ing available for their use all of the
moisture which falls. Many farm
ers are careless, inclined to trust to
luck, to gamble on the rainfall. In
deed it is often said that the dry
farm is the greatest gamble on earth
They do not conserve the moisture
as they should or could, and conse-
quently when dry season comes,
similar to last summer, their crops
suffer. These men, these careless
farmers, who will risk their all on
gamble with the elements form no
small part Of the agricultural popu-
lation of Montana and it is for their
sake, for the sake of the prosperity

in the state. had the privilege of per-
forming her first marriage ceremony
at the Blaine county seat last week
when she united in the holy bonds
of matrimony John Ham of Miss
oula and Ethel Tritt of Chinook.
The people of Chinook are MAX
ing elaborate preparations for the
celebration of Memorial day, Mon
day, May 31st. The mayor has pro-
claimed that date as a legal holiday
and all the business places have been
asked to close in the afternoon dur

Chairman Spriggs of the compen-
sation board, after an investigation
announces that there are 5000 en-
ployers and 10000 employees in the
state subject to the compensation
law. There are 100 public corpora
tions, including cities, towns, school
districts and counties, and all of
these and all contractors employed
by them must take out state insur-
ance for employees under the act.
Petitions are out in Washington,
California, Idaho and Texas to divide
the commonwealth and to create
three new sovereign states. In Wash
ington it is proposed to take the
twenty counties lying in the Column
bia basin east of the Cascades, add
to them the narrow northern end of
Idaho and form the new state of
Lincoln. In California the promoters
of the enterprise advocate the dele
cation of the southern third, allow

Texas senate has looked with favor

handle to start menage of it's own.

$4,000 a year, and while General
Kelly would not have been bene-
flied during his term of Office by the
increase, it is believed that Judge

POSTAL SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an
account in a postal savings bank af-
ter July lst, according to an in
structive leaflet on the Postal Saw
ings System just issud by Post
master General Burleson. This i'm
portant extension of the service will
be made possible by permitting per-
sons living in communities so
sparcely settled as not to justify the
designation of their local post Of
fees as regular postal savings banks
to open accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General, who has di-
rect supervision of postal savings,
was so impressed by appeals all over
the country to open postal savings
accounts by mail that he took up
the task some weeks ago of working
out a feasible and safe method for
meeting a demand we'll illustrated
in letter from Saline County Mis-
sourian, who resides many miles
from a postal savings bank.
Having few hundred dollars
saved from fifty years of hard and
assidious labor and skimping econo-
my on the part of my wife and my
self, we concluded to deposit it in
the Postal Savings Bank Of
We wrote to the postmaster at that
place and received reply to the effect
that none but patrons of that office
could deposit in that Office which is
very disappointing news to us. Our
little farm is not large enough to
SunnOrt us and land ia On hip| tn a 4
it is Impossible for us to buy more
with what little we have saved and
we are so old that we can't labor
much now and we would be glad to
lay by at least enough to put us
away in decency."
Under the plan adopted by the
