Line Well Equipped
Line is a Montanan and a graduate
of the Montana state university at
Missoula. After receiving his A. B.
degree there, he then completed a
course in economics at Harvard uni
versity, and supplemented these
courses with another at the Univer-
sity of Freiberg at Baden, in Ger
many, before the war.
Since that time he has been in
structor at Mount Holyoke College
for two years, assistant manager of
the industrial bureau for the New
York Merchants Association, and as
sistant professor of business organi-
cation with special reference to mar
keting at the University of Mime
sofa.
He carried on a survey of retail
merchandising conditions in typical
country towns in Minnesota last
year, as well as a survey of retail
conditions in country towns in Mani
toba under the auspices of the Retail
Merchants Association of Canada.
Last year also he was in charge of
the merchants short course at the
University of Minnesota, and this
is lecturer for the merchants
short course at the universities of
Minnesota and Manitoba. Last week
he went to Winnipeg to address a
large gathering of Canadian mer-
chants on present day problems in
merchandising.
He was one of the principal speak
ers at the recent convention at Lew
istown of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation of Montana, whore his adj
dress on stock keeping was one of
the most educational features of the
gathering. He has spoken before
merchants all over the United States,
and his lectures have been r%eproduc-
in many trade publications.

Another definite step towards the
protection of water rights from the
Yellowstone river, as we'll as a for
ward move for a project which will
reclaim hundreds of thousands of
acres of arid land, was taken in Liv-
ingston recently. Main offices of
the Yellowstone Irrigation associa-
ton have been opened in Livingston.
The work in these offices will be
in charge of e. M. Niles, president,
and Jerome G.. Locke, secretary of
the association.
An executive office has already
been opened under the direction of
F. v. H. Collins of Billings. 1t was
stated by the officers of the associa-
ton that as rapidly as arrangements
can be perfected, branch offices will
be established in each county seat
town along the Yellowstone.
The making of surveys, the collec-
ton of data and the organization OF
the various units of the project will
be pushed with all possible speed.
1t is the plan of the directors of the
association to organize each tract OF
land that may be watered by one ca
nal or by a common system of canals
with a source of supply from the
Yellowstone river, into a separate ir-
rigation district. These districts will
include lands that are already COW
cred by the canals, but where the
water supply is insufficient. Each
district will then make filings on
water sufficient for its needs, and
will be in shape to go ahead and
build it's own irrigation system at the
proper time.
After all the irrigation projects
are, organized and the water appro-
priations made it will be possible for
engineers to estimate the amount of

MONTANA MERCHANT 0M SMALL TOWN HAS
NATIONAL REPUTATION AS TRADE EXPERT

If you were asked to seek out an
expert on merchandising with an in
ternational reputation-a specialist
on retail commercial problems with
a recognized standing over the Amer
lean continent, where would you ex-
pect to find him? Probably in an
office building in one of the bigger
eastern cities or as a member of the
ties. You might possibly look for
him in the general offices of one of
the giant retail business houses in
New York or Chicago.
You would hardly expect to find
such a man conducting the affairs
of a country store in a small Mon
tana town-putting into effect every
day the theories of merchandising
concerning which his advice is
sought frequently by the biggest
merchants associations of this coun-
try and Canada. And yet that is
where you would be quite likely to
run down such a specialist on mer-
camille problems, for in the town of
Columbus, in saltwater county, re-
sides Robert c. Line, a noted Ameri-
can economist, who is proving to his
own satisfaction and to that of the
national merchandising world that
his theory of the retail business,
when applied to a country store, will
result in the full measure of success
that might be expected of it.
AS a matter of fact, it might be
mentioned that Line is not confin-
ing his attention to n store, but
to four, for besides the Robert C.
Line Company, which he is manag-
ing at Columbus, he has charge also
the operation of three other coun-
Try stores which sell general merch-
one being at Reed Point and
another at Lake Basin, in Saltwater
The four stores are known
Is the Line stores.
To Help Montana Merchants
Interest in Robert c. Line all over
Montana is conferred at this time be-
.ause of the fact that for the next
he will spend a considerable
,art of his time in helping merchants {

flood waters that must be stored in
Yellowstone lake to protect all the
rights acquired.
Having determined the amount of
water required to reclaim all the arid
lands along the Yellowstone valley,
petition will be made to the govern
ment for a permit to construct a
dam across the Yellowstone river
near where it leaves Lake Yellow
stone. This will create an immense
reservoir of the lake, in which the
floods that annually sweep down the
river may be stored and held, until
they can be utilized in the reclama-
ton of the lands embraced in the
districts.
While it is impossible, as yet, to
make any definite estimate of the
amount Of additional land that will
be put under irrigation, the officers
of the association believe that the
irrigation acreage in the Yellowstone
valley will be considerably more than
doubled.
In discussing the urgency of the
work of organization, Mr.. Locke, sec
rotary of the association, said: "It
may be several years before some of
the districts that are now being or
ganized finally complete the con-
struction of their irrigation systems.
Others will proceed with construc-
tion as fast as the necessary prelim-
mary work can be gotten out of the
way. The important thing, however,
is for every possible district to be
created and thoroughly organized, SO
that it may make it's water filing and
protect itself against the future"
"The people of the Snake river
valley in Idaho are also applicants
for the waters of Yellowstone lake.
They have spent many months in the
preparation of plans, and would nov
be ready to start construction if they
had a governmental permit to use
the water. They will undoubtedly
ask for this in the near future. 1t is
therefore imperative that the people
of Montana complete their plans and
make application for these waters at
the earliest possible date"

Angry Bull Moose Attacks Team

Ben Bridges of Twin Bridges had
an experience one evening recently
which he does not care to repeat,
when his dog started up a bull moose
on the Little Boulder river. The
airedale evidently bit the animal,
which became so enraged it tackled
the team Bridges was driving and
butted the horses, which became al
most unmanageable on the steep
mountain grade, but finally it was
frightened off by the driver, who
made quick work getting away from
the animal. The dog ran under the
horses for protection when it was be-
ing v%anquished by the moose, and
then it attacked the team. 1t was
probably a three-year-old, but had
shed its horns, otherwise it would
have been more formidable.

a report, but it was during the Civil

among the people, many of whom
had fled to the mountains to avoid
the troubles consequent thereon.

of the party exclaimed, "Say, papa,

prevailing industry made the place

n FISS LUCY DARLING was the first school teacher in Mon
lVI tana. She opened a school for a dozen pupils in her log
cabin home at Bannack, the first capital of Montana, in Octo-
Der, 1868. The only school books available were a miscellaneous
collection that had been brought from eastern and southern states
in the enigrant wagons. Miss Darling was later married to l. W.
Park, and in later years lived at Warren, Ohio. She was a niece of
Sidney Edgerton, first governor of Montana. While her little
school was in session shooting was a common occurrence on the
streets of the wild camp of Bannack, and not infrequently her pupils
could look out of the windows and see men hanging from the gal
lows in a nearby gulch, where victims of the Vigi1antes had been
executed.
