of the maple and gum trees are scarlet

really fond OF her. iShe is so bright
and amusing and now seems perfect

Archie and Quentin but is very wise
in the way she takes care of them.
Quentin, under parental duress, rides
Algonquin every day. Archie has jus:
bought himself football suit, but |
have not noticed that he has played
football as yet He is spending Sat
urday and Sunday out at Dr. Rixey's.
Ted plays tennis with Matt. Hale and

Tomorrow the national convention
meets, and barring catacylsm shall
be nominated. There Is q great deal
OF sulIen grumbling, but it has taken
more the form of resentment against

They don't dare to oppose me for the
nomination and suppose it is hardly

which will be of lasting Importance in

that any family has ever enjoyed the

ing when Mother and | took break
fast on the portico and afterwards
walked about the lovely grounds and
looked at the stately historic old house
1t is wonderful privilege to have been
here and to have been given the
chance to do this work, and should

The other day when Mother and
were walking down the steps of the
big south porch we saw movement
among the honeysuckles and there
was Bill the lizard-yOur lizard that
you brought home from Mount Yer

MANY interesting and humorous
stories are told about the impetuous
side Of Andrew Jackson. both as a

which sets him off in his true color is
related in reference, to the manner -
which he selected the site for the PIC
turesque United States Treasury Btiid
ing which is situated across the street
from the White House.
The erection Of the Treasury, wlsh
its huge stone pliers. and Impressive
Grecian architecture, was begun during
Jackson's administration. II is one ok
the most spacious and costly OF the
numerous government buildings.

so as to use it's credit for the irrigation OF It's

more for itself within the present generation
than it can hope for at the hands Of the natlonai

time that we could most effectively persuade Tue
statesmen at Washington if we would dlg up
some of our own money to put water on our
own land. Let each of our own pockets taik

is the surest protector of money Invested.
Third, individual Or corporate capital undef
we'll arranged laws can carry forward many
small irrigation enterprises both by diversion
and storage. Power can be utilized where the
combined cost of lifting the water and the other
construction does not place tax upon the land
that it cannot carry Thousands of acres may
this way be added to the grand total.
Fourth, if in this great irrigation task that
we are now taking up power and storage are 60
be yoked together for service it does not take
an expert to see that we are leading out into
another big subject namely, the conservation OF
water which is to be used for both irrigation and
power. Storage will be had for both purposes.
If the highest utility is to be secured mutual as
sistance must be established and not conflict.
The use Of power in industry and storage for II
rigation are perhaps equally desirable. The
rights and privileges of each will need to be har-
monized if the greatest good is to come out OF
the water volume Of any given district or sec
tion If in the case of any enterprise different
capital is to lift the water from that which en-
ables the construction of storage and distribu
ton then here again are questions Of privilege
and harmony Of effort that must be worked out.
With this much Of comment we have endeav-
ored to indicate some Of the paths of action along
which it is desirable to proceed as Montana goes
earnestly into the irrigation business A single
article can do little more than point out some of
the things that are pressing for consideration.
The larger program that has been inaugurated
will require unceasng effort by the best men Of
the state.

Missoula, Aug. o9.--Fifty thousand
sheep, after several perilous weeks in
the country west and south of this city
which has been visited by devastating
forest fires, finally have been brought
to safety. according to word received
here. They were grazing in the Lolo
forest when the fires endangered them,
and for more than month they were
hurried from one point to another to
avoid death in the flames. though it new
er was possible to move them more than
five miles in a day.
Fires burned on all sides Of them, and
frequently it was necessary to go back
over the ground which already had been
covered, to avoid fires which threatened
them. At times the entire flock would
balk and refuse to move for hours. Food
and water always were scant. But they
finally were driven to a shipping point

THE BUSINESS OF IRRIGATION.

The irrigation meeting in Great Falls on
Wednesday was an inspiring gathering Of ear
nest men. They were of one mind. The lands
of Montana that can be irrigated must be put
under the ditch and the work must speed up.
The irrigation missionary can go out Of busl-
ness The whole state is converted. There is
little danger Of backsliders until the present gen.
Grafton has passed into the Great Beyond.
Committees that go down to Washington here
after will not find stack Of letters from set
tiers saying that the going is good without wa
ter If the dry lander has any postage stamps
left he will put them to better use.
The ways and means committee to be appoint
ed can tackle the big job before it with no one to
hinder or make it's members afraid. The people
of Montana will be saying God bless you with
real Methodist intensity from this time on.
After all this has been said let no man think
that there is not work to do The problem is as
big as the results will be stupendous. There
will be difficulties, but the wealth that can be
made possible should spur US on to overcome
them ALL The almost unmeasured natural en-
dowment of water volume and opportunity for
reasonable cost storage is now going to be taken
into the hands Of investing capital. Under in
teligent regulations and fair adjustment Of In
terests involved what has been wasted will make
millions of acres of dry land into gardens Of
wealth and plenty. These words are not ex
travagant. The full realization is not capable
Of description at this time
There are four things that The Tribune would
like to say now.
First, it is timely and proper that we'll in
formed and capable committee should 60 to
Washington and present the plea Of Montana
for the completion of its government reclama-
ton projects. In the war it was found out how
important are the great grain-producing states
Of the west. New England and the far east
would starve in few weeks if put upon their
own resources, to say nothing about feeding an
army. Among all the treasures of nation the
grain field must be reckoned as first. This ar
gument alone should prevail. More than this
drouth Of unusual severity has emphasized this
moral obligation Of the government to invest at
once every dollar it can to complete the irriga-
ton systems it has under way in Montana.
Second, the state must put it's house in order,
