ms 10 what Is going To happen TO them.
There have been reports that the regi-
ment is 10 leave soon for the border
and that IL is not TO go South at all,
but will be kept in camp ut home all
winter
Hope that the regiment soon would
be ordered South was revived by the
news that telegram had been re-
ceived from Ell Paso to the effect that
General Bell expects the Thirty-third
to complete the Eleventh division,
comprising the Michigan and two Ohio
brigades. The telegram was said to
be of an official character and Maj.
Daniel w. Smith, military censor,
would not permit anything more def
mite to be given out regarding 1t.
One rumor has been in circulation
to the effect that the regiment Is to
be split up, two battalions being sent
to Fort Wayne for the winter and the
Third to Fort Brady at the 500. Not
much credence has been been given to
this report.
Gloomy predictions are advanced by
company commanders here relative to
the future of the National Guard Of
the United States after it is mustered
out of federal service, If troops at mo-
bilizaztion camps are not taken South.
The practically unanimous convic-
ton is that although the National
Guard will exist nominally, it virtually
viii be a nonentity, because few Of
the guardsmen are likely to re-enlist.
For the feeling is that If these men
are not required ut the border, the
sacrifices they have made to be here
are useless.

TRYING TO BLOCK IRRIGATION

The Rocky Mountain Husband
man says: ut is the strangest thing
in the world to us that there should
be human DeIng on earth SO short
sighted as to want to block the pro-
gress OF irrigation. Every intelligent
man, woman or child ought to be
able to comprehend what irrigation
means to the country. All that Mon
tana is today it owes to mans con-
troll OF the elements that his hand
has been on the lever that raised or
lowered the headgate at will which
made the season and agriculture a
success. 1t is this condition that has
livestock grower to induce capital
to gridiron the state with railroads

made possible such giant strides in
civilization. The man who fights
the proposition is blind, is woefully
ignorant Of the conditions that bring

miles of country that could not be

people, We will take their project
lands and then break up their irri-
cation schemes. Then we will get
title to the land, sell out and let the
other fellow wrestle with the prob
lem of farming the land dry. We
never dreamed in all the years we
have lived in Montana and struggled
to build bitches that the man had
been born oshort sighted and SO
narrow of vision as to be opposed to
providing water for the land. 1t is
the only way to know that you can
get a crop every year, the only way
that you can build up the fertility
of the land and crop it at the same
time The only way you can offer
the money loaner adequate security.
1t is the one thing that makes the
oasis in the desert that makes
green spot on the brown prairie and
assures the farmer of having plenty
and TO spare in season and out OF
season and all the time as long as
he should live and as long as his
children live. 1t is the only thing
that makes agriculture in Montana
certainty. Why then can any man
find it in his heart to wrong his fell
low man, to wrong the country, and
posterity by thrusting himself upon
an irrigation project just to try to
break it up.
