iZation counted among the impossi-
BILE. Today the project of that dream
is under way, and the building of
huge dam, $50 feet hight, in a mar
row gorge of the Big Horn canyon
is promoted with great activity by
power and irrigation company having
headquarters at Hardin, Mont, with
the dreamy but practical and far
sighted settler at its head.
The enterprise includes a hydro
electric plant of large output. esti-
mated at not less than 217,5OO hp.:
the irrigation of approximately 1OO,-
600 acres of fertile, high-level bench
lands, now without water, and the
construction of a railway, 6S miles
in length, which has been located
from Hardin south to the dam site
and north to point near Custer,
on the Northern Pacific. The south
ern part of the line will be used
for hauling materials for construc-
ton of the dam and power plant
The project is described in the Feb
ruary Popular Mechanics magazine.
A number of interesting illustrations
accompany the article.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF DEBT.

In the current Farm and Fireside
is an interesting editorial which
shows how debt Is by no means the
obstacle to success that II is general
ly held to be, and how sometimes IL
is even stepping stone to cppor-
tunity.
II have in mind a young man who
wanted to go to the state agricul-
tural college. He had no money, but
knew something about personal
credit and wasn't afraid of debt.
First he found friend who had q
thousand dollars to invest. Then he
took out thousand dollars worth
of life insurance. which cost him
about 1922 year, made his friend
the beneficiary, and turned the poll
cy over to him as collateral in ex-
change for the $1,000 cash. Four
years later the young man graduated
from college with honors. Soon
after. he paid back the $1,000 with
six per cent compound interest. mar
ried, had the policy changed to make
his wife the beneficiary. as she
should be, and is now considered
prosperous"

change their mode of life? These
questions are often asked, says Wal
ire G.. Shields of the bureau of ed
ucation, department of the interior.
who assays a defense of such educa-
ton.
One often hears the opinion that
it would have been better If no eff
fort to educate the Indians had ever
been made. Doing things according
to the white mans way has caused
disease among Indians with which
they formerly may not have suffer-
ed. Though once they were depend
ent and self-sustaining, many have
become more or less dependent up
on the government. These consid-
Grafton naturally cause doubt as to
the good that can be accomplished by
uplifting" the Eskimos.
Recent years. however have shown
a great Improvement in the indust-
rial status Of the Indian and a low
ering of the death rate. The pre-
sent day policy toward the indian Is
different from that of twenty or
more years ago. The old system
tended to make the Indian depend
emit.
Mr.. Shields says the Eskimo is not
dependent and has never received
a ration from the government" It
Is the policy of the bureau of edu-
cation not to lessen the Eskimo's
independence, and so no heed Is
paid to the advice from well-mean-
ing but shallow persons that the Els
kimo should be fed better food, and
at government expense Mr.. Shields
is right in contending that it is bet
ter for the Eskimo to eat strictly
| native food, even II II Is below our
expect the government to support
him.
The aim Of the bureau of educa.
ton, says Mr.. Shields, is to make the
Eskimo even better able to survive
than he has been, and must be ad
mitted that the Eskimo has demon
strated ability to survive, in a mos
difficult environment. 1t will be /.
long time before the Eskimo will b,
pressed by white men seeking land
but IL such time comes 1t is tn
purpose of the bureau of education
to have the Eskimo prepared to NEE
advanced economic conditions.-Ta

to issue a special warning to the
people of the United States. Be
cause of the convenience, small cleo
trio devices, such as pressing irons,
curling irons, coasters, electric pads
or blankets, electric plate warmers,
and electric sterilizers or heaters
are now to be found in almost every
community. If these were used
with proper care the danger would
be negligible, but, unfortunately, a
proportion of their users do not
realize the peril of leaving them in
circuit when not in use. In such
cases these devices tend to become
overheated, whereupon they are like
ly to set fire to anything combusti-
BILE with which they are in contact.
Most of these fires are small, but
the aggregate loss is large, and oc-
casional instances show extensive
damage, as in the case of the $780,
900 fire in the Boston residence of
Ex-Governor Draper; this was traced
to an electric plate warmer in the
buffers pantry.
Fires of this class furnish special
peril to life, being most frequent in
dwellings and often breaking out at
night. A characteristic example is
that in which an electric iron is left
upon the ironing board, with the
current turned on, and then forgot
ten. In such case the fire may not
occur until some hours later. The
burning of the residence Of John
Wanamaker, several years ago, was
due to an electric pressing iron.
That this form Of hazard is al
ready assuming large proportions ap-
pears from the statistics. For ex-
ample. the Actuarial Bureau of the
National Board OF Fire Underwriters
in one day noted approximately one
hundred reports Of fires from this
cause. out Of a total of two thousand
losses in the days reports, and II
estimates that small electric devices
are causing fires at the rate of go.
900 or more in the course of year

HORSE FAMINE Is
NEAR, HE SAYS
Only 10 Per Cent of Farmers Breed
ing to Replace Stock Sold.

The danger of overproduction of
horses is remote. 1t costs more to
produce them than any other class
of live stock.
For the reason many proclaim that
1t doesn't pay to raise horses; that
there never was time when the
horse market was so dull as now;
that the motor truck and tractor
have killed the horse business and
the horse is a thing of the past.
Some people believe all of this, even
though the truth of the matter is the
opposite.
Five Years To Grow Horse.
1t takes time to make much head
way in the horse business. Five
years are needed to grow a horse.
At best one should not expect more
than two colts from three mares as
an average per year. Moreover. not
more than 16 per cent of our farm
ers are raising colts.
Not long hence the American farm
er will wake up only to learn that
great opportunity has passed The
next 10 years is bound to see the
greatest demand for horseflesh the
world has ever known. 1t can't be
met on short notice. The man who
is breeding every mare old enough
to the best stallion available and Is
/ taking proper care of the offspring
is the man who is sure to be re-
warded
There are plenty OF men who have
bought and paid for farms within
the past 10 years by their pure bred
draft mares.
War Takes Millions
A careful consideration of the sit
uation cannot fail to convince us
that there Is no danger of an over
production OF draft horses for our
farms and city uses. Almost 1000
900 horses and mules have been
exported from this country in the
last 81 months for use in war
These figures show almost one horse
or mule taken for every 25 left.
As surely as this war continues
another two years good farm horses
, will be at premium: and even after
the war is over exports will not cease
for thousands of horses will be need
J ed to start European agriculture
anew.
) Demand Continues.
It follows, as a necessary conse
= quence, that the demand for pur
= bred draft horses for breeding pur
poses will continue to be good. I'm
, portations have been, to all practica
| purposes, cut off.
We are producing only 10000 o
= 1900 pure bred draft horses eli
) gible to registry. This means, II
: subsequence, that we are producing
only 5000 or 5000 stations fit 70
/ service per year. when we need a
= least 1000 or 5000. An excess o
l demand over supply always make
good prices. and the present is nj
