of the country normally possessing a
total precipitation sufficient to raise
crops there existed a faulty distribu-
ton in time and quantity sufficient
to produce a retardation of growth
and consequent scanty yield.
Broadly speaking the farmers of
Montana realize that the soil of the
Treasure state is enormously rich and
will, with sufficient moisture, pro-
duce yields far overshadowing the
eastern and more humid states. The
time has arrived when the people of
Montana should realize that the mois-
ture, so necessary to successful farm
ing, can be supplied by irrigation
that the old humid states practice of
watchful waiting for the patter of
the rain drops-is an outworn, non
essential and non-productive pastime.
The vicissitudes of the novice in ir-
rigation are many but when once the
job is thoroughly learned, when once
the irrigationist learns to construct
and maintain his farm bitches, spread
his water and control his waste to a
minimum, stay with his job and resist
the temptation to quit the flats at the
first sign of rain, so will he succeed
and his reward will be made manifest
by bountiful harvests, a sense of Sc
-, ritr apd hipb land uaI1ac
Those who nay be dubious need
but to see and compare the non-irri-
gated with the irrigated sections of
this state. Moreover, irrigation can
produce successful precedent enough
for the most critical when it is real
lied that Egypt has irrigated for a
matter of 1000 years and without
which there would not have been
any civilization and probably no peo-
pie at all in that country.
India with an average rainfall over
the entire country of about az inches
has extensive irrigation projects,
some of which supply areas of nor
mally heavy rainfall, but act as a
protection against drouth which oc-
ours only at intervals. This protec-
ton is found to be the best of crop
insurance.
Many more cases could be cited
to show that irrigation, wherever it
is possible to employ it, is the best
and surest means to successful farm
ing known to man.
There is a rapidly growing tenden-
cy among the farmers on the Waller
project to make preparations to irri-
gate as early as it is needed and to
disregard any and all signs of rain,
for, as has been pointed out before,
rain is but a tickle and inconstant
element, one to be ignored as a sum-
mer growing agency rather than
courted as a crop saver. One out
standing fact of a summer shower
should be borne in mind and that is
although it has a tendency to
freshen up the atmosphere, unless it
is a good big rain it will destroy the
mulch and do more harm than good
to the crops.
In the final analysis irrigation :
means intense cultivation, dense pop /:
and high land values, which
are the foundation of good schools,
good roads, telephones, better social
conditions and a general prosperity.

IS ALASKA THE GOAT?
(From Alaska Dispatch)

Alaska is experiencing the semi annual investigation to ascertain what ails her. During every admin istration for sixteen years commis- sion has journeyed west from Wash ington, D. C., to investigate Alaska conditions. The press tells Alaska that secretary so-and-so wants first hand information regarding what Alaska needs. Annually these same secretaries receive from their cred tied agent in Alaska-the governor & report asking for legislation and other things needed by the north. Annually these reports are made a part of secretary so-and-so's annual report and than forgotten. Every two years the Alaska legislature Brays for more power, drafts numer- GUS petitions asking for federal legis- Iation on certain matters. Again these memorials are referred to con- gressional committees, and semi-an- nually comes the Investigating com raittee to find out what is wrong with Alaska.
 The only surprising thing about the Payne committee now in Seattle is hew Alfred Brooks allowed himself se be drafted into service. Brooks # friends of Alaska. His work north has been of such a high class char aeter as to be distinguished. Every northerner knows and respects MT. Brooks. Harry Y. Saint is unknown to most Alaskans. It is said he was in Alaska in a clerical capacity with some canning concern. No doubt he has qualifications hid under basket which will make his counsel for the development of Alaska very much cherished. Last but not least comes our old friend Otto Prager. The average Alaskan takes an hour off to do some swearing when Praeger is named. About three years ago Praeger decided to send Alaska mails by freight. He cancelled a number of mail contracts, chased a high dignitary of the Alaska Steam ship company from his presence at Washington, and routed all Alaska mails by freight, If any one single act was a greater detriment to Alas ka development than this act of Mr. Praeger no Alaskan has expressed it. Now comes MT. Praeger at the be- hest of the administration and spends a few days at the New Washington hotel to investigate Alaska.
 Poor old Alaska!

A NEGRO MARRIAGE IN

The following account of a negro
marriage, written by the officiating
parson, the Rev. w. F. Rice, has
been sent to the Press and Banner

terest to state that the "parson" is
the same negro preacher that some
time ago attempted to board train
near Haskell's on the Seaboard and
fell under the train, the cars passing
over him as though he bore a charm
ed life, his "reverents" never re-
ceiving a scratch. 1t should give ad-
ded strength to the bonds of matri-
mony that are tied by Parson Rice.
The account of the wedding is as

But he got a good reception. He

months to install a Democratic SEN

And he was not sure that the DEM
