HOW BUSINESS MEN
LEARN

There is something pathetic in the
way men look back over the develop
ment Of their own communities and
marvel at the changes that they did
not expect and which overlook them
unawares. 1t is heard on every hand
and will continue to be heard so long
as men toll on and look only upon
the smaller manifestations which
come to their vision as they pour
over their daily tasks.
A man gets crowded out of his lit
tie quarters and erects a building Of
his own; his business grows so rap
idly he has to enlarge at much sacri-
flee or lose business that he might
as we'll have. He marvels at the
growth, but does not blame himself
for building blindly, something that
is too small. It is as If ten-year
old boy constructed bed for him
self and made it long enough toilet
him lie on it at full length till he
is twelve or thirteen years old, for
getting that he will grow till he is
twenty, and each year he will marvel
that his bed is too small for him.
If town is to grow, if commercial
development is to go on, men might
as we'll prepare for it, and build
with a full knowledge of the certain

with. toll in which there was no glory
nd these same men while perform
ing laudable toll, have missed the
big opportunities to organize larger
industries and give employment and
fine working conditions to companies
Of people who lacked opportunity or
ability to establish business for them
selves. Every man has a certain
scope Of opportunity and duty, and
ne who builds a little business for
himself in new country and then
works along in q groove falls far
short Of his proper destiny.

able. It was to the mutual interest
Of the farmers of both states to enter
into such an agreement and that
was done.
Wyoming bequeathed' her water
freely to Nebraska farmers and be-
cause Senator Warren of Wyoming
introduced q bill In congress, au-
.horizing Wyoming to give away that
much OF its natural resources, the
radical element among the farmers
in Nebraska said there must be some
thing wrong about the proposition
or Wyoming would not be working
to give away their resources, so they
opposed the matter with all the force
at their command, but the more
thoughtful element of the farmers
accepted it and they contracted for
water and made it possible for every
body to sign up and completed the
project.
The publisher of one of the large
newspapers in. Nebraska took the
view that because Wyoming wanted
to give Nebraska something, there
must be something fraudulent in the
project and he opposed it bitterly
with his newspaper.
1t is now in successful operation

vast amount of wealth. There Is
none of the old contention about pri-

how much water any one is going to
have or who shall have 1t first, for

delivers what the people contract to
use and at the prices. agreed upon.
One reservoir in the mountains is
a long distance from the irrigated
lands and that placed them at some
disadvantage because they had to
allow for the water to travel that
long distance. To overcome that
they made small reservoir near the

ties of the future as revealed by the
light Of experience and the laws Of
commerce.
When one considers the size of the
Snake river valley, the resources that
lie undeveloped and inviting, and the
tendencies of men to appropriate
natural wealth and develop 1t to suit
their wishes and the wishes Of So
ciety that may wish to buy or be
served, the light Of experience and
the laws of commerce show that the
villages will become towns; the
towns will become big towns; the
big towns will become cities, and Po-
catello will become metropolis and
a distributing center, all within the
next generation and rightfully under
the management and direction of the
men and women who are now of mid
die age and under.
In recent issue of this paper we
suggested the advantages Of having
the busy business men of the town
in attendance at the big reclamation
meeting held at Idaho Falls on the
twenty-fourth of November. Scarcely
any of them were there, and in miss
ing that meeting with its information
and its inspirations, they made the
mistake that we have tried to Illus
trate in this article. There will be
other meetings Of equal Importance,
and those who attend and look over
the audiences will have a tolerably
correct forecast as to who will be
the big successes and safe counselors
when future development is consid-
cred.
Men may be seen on every hand in
older communities, who have drilled
along in their accustomed paths or
cumulating satisfactory profits or
properties and have felt satisfaction
and pride in their little endurance

an adanced age, to find out that their
lives have been poor indeed; that

FOR private interests and where pri-
vate interests do not command suf-
ficient confidence to unite people In
large undertakings. He told how q
very large reclamation project had
been completed in eastern Wyoming
and western Nebraska where they
had all the difficulties of priority
of rights, later water rights, high
water water rights and no water
rights at all and these claims made
the more complicated by the fact
hat most Of the land lies in Nebras-
ka and all the water had. to come
from Wyoming.
For a generation the complica-
lions have been multiplying and the
reclamation department finally has
Strengthened it all out by making q
survey, or taking q census of every
body's water right in it's natural
flow and then guaranteed just that
amount Of water to every owner and
added whatever they might desire
at such prices as it cost the govern
ment to deliver.
No distinction was made between
original water rights arising from
the natural flow in the river during
the irrigating season and stored
water that might be at hand ready
for delivery in consequence of the
construction Of the reservoirs. The
government booked every mans or
der for the amount of water he
wanted, made allowance for the
amount he already was entitled to-
If any, and agreed to deliver the full
amount of water he desired and in
return he was to pay for the addi-
tional amount the government de-
livered to him in excess of his orig
inal water right.
These arrangements were made
covering the rights in Wyoming, for
Wyoming owned all the water. 1t
was found that the cost of storing
the water for the small amount Of
land that lay under the project in
Wyoming made the price prohibit
tive and arrangements were made
70 store all the available water and
take in all the project that lay in
Nebraska, thus allowing Wyoming
water to be used in Nebraska, a right
Nebraska farmers could not enjoy
except by the consent Of the state of
wyoming. When all this additional
territory was included there was
water enough for everybody and by
reason of it Nebraska farmers had
water in quantity and cut down the
price per inch or per acre-foot and
made cost that was very reason

THE LAST APPEAL.
For Foster Parents for 10000 French
War Orphans.

One of the most appealing of the
after-the-war campaigns will be
launched this month, asking for fos-
ter parents for 10000 little war or
phans of France. Mrs. Walter S.
Brewster, wife of the Roumanian
Consul to Chicago, Chairman O fthe
Chicago Committee and Vice-Presi-
dent of the National Committee of
The Fathcrless Children of France,
has charge of the promotion of this
campaign.
Mrs. Brewster has just returned
from a tour of investigation through
the devastated regions of France.
The highest French officials pro-
vided her with military escort and
bestowed upon her every courtesy
during her visit to the war zone.
She lived with the appalling condi-
lions of these children and their
mothers-she knows that thousands
of children lover there" are under
nourished, starving, and succumbing
to sickness.
I'm all the northern country" says
Mrs. Brewster, there is no village
untouched, and scarcely a house with
a roof. There is not a bridge that
has not been dynamited, a factory
that has not been ruined. The tales
that are told of the boche invasion
are misunderstanding. Still the
people of the north tell them dispas-
sionately. They have borne so
much they have no energy to show
excitement over their suffering. They
are coming back into these terrible
towns as soon as they are allowed.
They bring their possessions with
them in two string bags, usually.
Possibly they have enough to fill a

corners. To Cambria, 1900 out of
