Irrigation To SaUe Montana Farmers
INTENSIFIED FARMING ON SMALL ACREAGE UNDER
IRRIGATION TO BE THE GREAT REDEEMING
FEATURE OF THE STATE

DR.. F. H. Newell, formally head of
the United States Reclamation Serv-
ice who now holds the position of |
consulting engineer and conceded to |
be the greatest authority upon irr-
ibation, not only in the United States
but in the world spoke of the work
Of the government Monday evening,
to small gathering Of men in Boze-
man. The speach was made at a din
.ner given by a few Of the prOfes
.Onal men and business men of Boze-
man who discussed the problem of
Montana and her future develOpe-
ment.
"The greatest mineral wealth Of
Montana today is the water in her
many rivers and small streams" Dr..
Newell stated, your copper, silver
and gold, are all adding to the wealth
of the state at this time, but these
can be exhausted, while the water will
always be with you. And it is to the
water Montana must look for her
redemption and her ultimate salvat-
:on"
One of the greatest difficulties at
present to be contended with is the
great inadequancy and unfair distri-
button Of the water of the state. I'm
til you have such laws as will give
a proper and fair distribution of the
water in the streams of Montana you
will not be able to get the greatest
benifit to the largest number from
them. This is a feature which you all
muct sooner or later realize to such
an extent that you will cause your
laws to be rewritten. Then you viii
begin to reap the inestimable returns
from the irrigation which can be
done.
To-day there is a situation in Mont
, ana which does not exist in other
, western states where irrigation is o1
, so vital Importance to the welfare o.
: the whole state. There is plenty Of
water, enough to properly irrigat,
all the land in the state suseptabl,
) to that method of farming. But tht
water is divided in such a manner
7 that some have much more than the!
need, while othere who might use it
are deprived of that benifit and suffe
great crop loss as a result. There i
at the present time in Montana onl!
about half the land that is irrigable
a being irrigated, and this is due to tn
unfavorable and inadequate laws un
der which the water has been allote
+ to those who use it."
"For that reason there is alway
difficulty to be overcome in Wash
, ingtOn when appropriations are aske
; for, for the purpose Of buildin
q irrigation systems. They who hav
G the matter of appropriations in han
: ask why the land already unde
IS irrigation systems is not all bein
e irrigated and in cultivation. Anothe
j ching that causes difficulty in thi
Y respect" said Dr. Newell, is the al

BOHEMIAN CITIZEN OF
EARLY DAYS is DEAD
Henry E. Cook Who Conducted
Jewelry Business in BOzeman
Dies After Long Illness

After an illness covering a period
of thre years, Henry E. Cook died
early last Monday morning at his
home in Lindley Place. He had been
confined to his bed for the past two
months. Funeral services were held
at the West Parlors Tuesday morn
ing at 1O:30 o'clock under the auspicies
of the Masonic bodies of BOzeman.
Mr. Cook has been a resident Of
Bozeman since 1892, coming here
from his home in Winchester New
Hampshire. He was a jewler by pro-
fession and was in that business dur
ing most of his residence in the city.
His first establishment was under
his ownership, afterwards he formed
a partnership with other men here
among them, Vreeland Place, G. j.
StefTms, and later with Leslie Gage
For a number of years he filled the
position Of time keeper for the North.
ern Pacific Railroad.
During the thirty years in which
lIr. Cook had been a resident Of
Bozeman he built up a personal ac
qUalatance with nearly everyone il

profitably handled. There is so much
more work on an irrigated farm, that
it is useless for a man to attempt to
successfully handle as much as he
would otherwise. 1 contend that there
are more men making larger returns
on irrigated farms that do not exceed
so acres, than there are among those
who are working larger farms.
"The most successful irrigated
farm consists of the 40 acre unit. To
be sure many are now irrigating the
larger farms, but those who are do
ing that and doing so at profit are
the men who have spent years de-
veloping a 40 acre farm to the point
where they are capable of handling
more acreage. The failures on the ir-
Tigated farm can be traced to those
who have started out to farm the big
tract and have found they did not own
the equipment nor did they have the
capital to do so properly.
Water is one Of the natural mo
ropolies of this great state Of Mon
tana and one that should be properly
distributed among the citizens of the

The little casket and grave were adorned with beautiful floral tributes. Little Monteen was nearly four years of age, and was such a bright, sweet child, the sunlight and joy of her fond father and mother, and loving playmate of the dear little brother who will miss her so. She was sick but a few short days, but suffered intensely. As we stood be- side the little bed, and saw the Great Healer lay his hand upon the suf- ferer, all the suffering seemed to vanquish instantly and she gently and gradually sank into the sweet sleep we call death. We take comfort in knowing that little Monteen is a bright angel in heaven and safe for ever more.
