EarIx DAY. In Iowa.. Park Realon


No part OF Iowa is more interes ding
from the point OF view Of natural
scenery than the northeastern corner
OF the state. And that the remarkable
beauty OF It's physical features finds
n parallel In the romance OF its his
tory Is evident TO anyone who reads
"a Historical Sketch or tho Park
Region About McGresor, Iowa, and
Prairie du Chen. Wisconsin" by Miss
Althea II. Sherman in recent numbers
of Iowa Conservation"
The BIOLOGISTS OF the country have
commented with peculiar interest upon
the "driftless area of the valley which
stood up like an island In the glacial
epoch, untouched by the ice fields that
smoothed or the surrounding land. II
was this bit OF Iowa that first caught
the eye OF white explorers when Mar
oueLle and Joliet padded out of the
Wisconsin river into the Mississippi
and looked across at the region about
the present site of McGregor. In those
carly days Indians held athletic con-
tests and fought wars in this region.
French fur traders came in 10 follow
their adventurous profession; .Ameri-
cans followed. and Zebulon Pike, and
Cat!in and Schoolcraft and zachary
Taylor and jefferson Davis played
their little parts on the western FROM
tier where the Wisconsin and Mississ-
ippi meet. Few jlaces ,n all the Miss
issippt valley would seem to lend
themselves more adequately for public
park purposes than this picturesque
spot with it's romantic past.

The Maaio of Winter Beauty.

If summer shows LIE in full sail.
winter is the season OF fairy archt-
lecture. Altho the trees stand bare
and the grass no longer grows, beauty
In still open upon the earth. The leafy
canopy which the big elm In the door
yard made last June Is now but a
tracery against the sky. Yet each
branch and twig lis now revealed as
part of beautiful system OF growth.
And each species of tree is seen TO
have It's own scheme of arrangement.
1t lis easy now to see the giant
limbs Of oak or elm, the arch ana
curve of branch, the points Of stress and
strain, the leaf scars and the buds
wrapped up for their winter rest. 1t
is as II some magician architect had
stamped across the sky the simple out
lines of great natures frame.
The fairy architecture of winter is
also spread out in the blanket of snow,
From the autumn fields glistening on
a frosty morning TO the snow prisms
sparkling in the moonlight nature
scatters wide and far her winter gems
She hangs them in rich clusters on
each tiny twig, she traces them In
ferns and sprays unon the window
pane she piles them on the posts and
fence rails. which, thus transformed
outsfine royal diadem. The mouths
of sewers are the whitest spots of all,
and an ash pile. looks like a pyramid
of magic masonry. r-ts.. r.
II is as il nature waited for winter
to tell us what she cannot say in the
busy harvest season. In single night
she obliterates narrow fence lines anu

Two 7 aIes.

Two Tales.
Like the flow OF the swiftest river
An orator wagged his tongue,
The miner dropped his shovel
To hear what was going on.
The speaker who wildly related
How conditions were getting so bad.
Workmen could not have pleasures
Some of the rich folks had.
An engineer sat in his auto
4 beautiful new limousine,
!Shod with four cord tires
And painted, a beautiful green.
There was also a railroad conductor
In an auto painted dark red
With the door Of his closed car open
To read what the orator said.
They smiled and winked at each
other;
It's true, I'll give you my word.
The boss of the carpenters union
Drove up in a brand new Ford.
The speaker was .cheered to the echo
And showcred with money of course
II conditions were a little unstable
He made them appear much worse
But bark, a widow and children
In rickety little shack
Dark and cold and hungry
Down by the railroad track.
No one 10 help in her trouble
In keeping her children in school
Death took the man she married
A miserable drunken fool.
Give heed. you men with ambition
Get 10 work, ! say man alive
Would striking improve her cond,-
ton

Montana Hers.. Ter Hes Fed.

Horses are cheap In Montana. own
ers of cayuses or any kind OF range
animals are willing to admit IT.
Horses are being sold for hog feed and
rapidly the transition from iow-priced
horse meat into high priced hogs
takes place In the state. According TO
stock men of eastern Montana. how
ever, Montana horses still are worth
something.
Exaggerated reports Of the Montana
situation have been caused. It Is said,
by very scarce range due to unusual
weather, and by campaign preached
by the state that range horses OF 1T
tic value should not be permitted to
eat tho grass and hay that could DO fed
TO bloodeds cattle. rs "a e
Time was when owners OF horses
thought it serious to have their AMI
mails impounded by the city authori-
ties for roaming within the municipal
bounds. Then there was n scurry fol-
the pound with the fine money reas'y
so that the horse might be reduced
INN cdiately. II Is different now.
Horses that get into the clutches Of
the ,,poundmaster usually are permit
ted to eat feed bought by the city I'M
til the city officials are concerned
about the financial losses from such
policy.
Not only have owners failed to call
for their horses. but in several cities
in the state, including Helena and Mis-
soula. public sales have gone without
q bidder. In recent sale in Helena
the chief of police managed to sell
three horses for total OF $50, the
purchaser announcing the animals
would be used as hog feed.
In Bozeman recently the poundmas-
ter called up a woman on the tele-
phone TO tell her a horse belonging to
her was in the pound.
Fine" she exclaimed. Il have an.
other up here at the house; come up
and get him."
When buyers for the allied govern
ments were In the west for army
horses. the markets mt Miles City and
other horse depots saw the purchase
Of many animals at fancy prices.
Apparently there are persons out
side the state who believe Montana
horses are being given away. says T.
c. Armitage,i postmaster at Billings.
He has a letter from a man In Kan
sas who wants the postmaster to put
him in touch with some one anxious
to lose several thousand horses. The
letter states In part:
Il am anxious to get in touch with
the parties having charge of disposing
of these horses and thought perhaps
you might help me out. lam. sim "A

BIG RECLAMATION
MOVEMENT STARTED
TWENTY-ONE IDAHO COUNTIES
TO FLOAT REVOLVING FUND
OF 500, 100000

POCATELLO, Idaho, April s.
Recently movement was started in
Pocatello, in which twenty-one coun-
ties participated, to float a loan, or
revolving fund, in the sum of $780,
100000, for the reclamation of about
two and half million acres of land
in eastern and southern Idaho.
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane will aid in the work by the
re-introduction of his bill in the next
congress. 1t was defeated by the re-
ceived by the officers of the Idaho
reclamation association are to the eff
feet that Secretary Lane has very
much at heart the irrigation projects
of the dry areas of the west. 1t is
said, there is every prospect that the
deal will eliminate in favorable
manner
In the meantime the various coun-
ties of the irrigated and farming sec
tions are reinforcing the proposition,
and are organizing local units, one
from each county.
Major Fred R. Reed has been ap-
pointed by the executive board as sec
rotary to the parent body, or Idaho
association. He is an experienced
man in reclamation service, and is
considered more familiar with such
projects than any man in the west.
He was for many years the reclama-
ton agent on the Twin Falls projects
and later agent for the Kuhns. He
recently declined an opportunity to
take charge of one of the commits
sions recently created by the depart
ment consolidating plan of Governor
Davis, which passed both branches
of the legislature, to take the secre-
taryship of the new plan to irrigate
the west. He will remove to Poca-
tello to engage actively in the work
without further delay.
The president of the association, S.
E. Brady, also makes his home in
Pocatello, and this being the recog-
nized distributing point for eastern
Idaho-and in fact the northwest, a
perfect working organization is be-
ing organized. Plans are under way
for an intensive publicity campaign to
be conducted under the charge of
Major Reed.
