RANGER SAYS PLENTY or

Gilman, Mont. - From appearances
now ii looks as though there would
be plenty of water for irrigation this
season. All winter long there has been
very little snoy, and the supply of
water for irrigation looked rather du-
hious. The snow storms this spring
hav: helped out the situation and ii
there are seasCnable rains during May
and June. the water supply should he
ample" For the last three years there
have been practically no June rains
and June is usually the rainy month. .

tie went in at the north fork, and his
trip extended almost to the continent
tai divide. The first part of the jour
ney was made on horseback. but he
was finally compelled to take to snow
shoes. He made careful note of the
snow. and it is his opinion that there
will be a sufficient supply of water
for irrigation. He measured the snow
a number of times. and the average hr
got was 81 inches.
Mr.. Rush's trip was made primarily
to see how the game had wintered. He
saw numerous bands CT elk and noun
tain sheep, and they were in fine con-
ditiOn. the open winter adding to their
well-being. Mr.. Rush did not see any
mountain goats. as they do not seem
to come down like the other animals,
hut spend the winter on the highe st
peaks.

SOME COMMENTS

Cooperation between all engaged in
amy line Of business. or their employees.
Is the secret of success No man ever
huilt himself up by pulling another
down: on the contrary many hav.
achieved success by aiding others.
The real optmist is the chap who
can find pep even i'm dyspepsia and IA
jest even in indigestion: h.. sure is a
genial kind of crouch
ANY man who cares more about his
work than about himself cannot pos
sibly be vulgar: neither can his work
he in vain: while man who cares
about his work only as providing a
pedestal for his own statue is almo It
inevitably both vain and vulgar.
infinite names of things which they
never handle and never expect to ham
die. with names of places they never
saw or never will see, with statements
of facts which they cannot possibly
understand. and which must remain
merely words to them. is like loading
their young stomachs with marbles.
Wen-deserved praise rightly bestcw-
cd is one of the most potent factors
pie. Lose the crouch.
It's worth a mint of money to be
able to look on the bright side Of
things, and smile in spite Of the dark
cloud.
Here are few causes Of failure
avoid them: Want of will: over smart
ness: unwillingness to labor and wait
acting from. policy rather than on
principle; want of punctuality. truth.
honesty: incorrect views OF the end
and aim Of life: lack of practical
adaptations: thickness, cheating, idle
ness, Sinking.

RATHER lNl'HARITABLE

Our Miles city contemporary, the
American. last week showed it's real
coicr when it printed an article. a
register of the United States land Of
flee. for designating certin newspapers
Tor the publication Of notices from his
office. In this article it was limited
that Myers was to- be requested to re-
sign as Il member of the Custer County
Democratic committee and also that
a movement is afoot to Dust AIye,s
from his official position in whic h -.
II. Mcdowell of Terry is mentioned as
his successor.
An was lovely with the American
favors In bestowing land office notices
upon that paper A good portion of
the final proof not notices printed in the
have appeared in the Powder River
County Examiner. At the time we
commended land office notices must be

fled fer their publicati6n. but it was
her, was rsinstated by the land office
titled to land office notices within the
Jurisdiction of the Examiner but it
in reference to other fields that the
American now asks the register if 1t
wasn't, true that land office notices
must be given to the newspaper If
general circulation and nearest the
land.
The American applies to Mr.. Myers
such uncomplimentary terms as "ren-
eSade democrat, and modern edition
o. Judas lscariot.'
Even though the American is prac-
tically stripped OF land office pat IRON
age. it seems rather uncharitable for
the management of that sheet to SO
unrelentlessly chastise an old time
friend.
The American representative was
repeatedly denied an interview by Mr..
Myers refusing to answer questions
propounded to him, and then probably
provoked by the reporters persist

the publication of an isolated tract
when the law says plainly that the
rate shall be only IS. Mr.. Myers is
credited with replying that he had
nothing to say. In its cwn behalf, now

it did charge $40 for one or more

one making such remittances.

And says. My friends. unless il rains

The statesman blows his massive nose
