BANKERS TRIBUTE TO MINING

A friend in Seattle sent us the following which, though old, is worthy of repetition,
 The president of a large nation al bank in Chicago was under criti- cism by the presidents of several other banks because of his invest ments in gold and copper mine in the Rocky mountains, He made the following reply to his critics:
 Throughout the Rocky noun tains, ages ago. God Almighty built stronger vaults in His granite banks than we have in ours. He filled these vaults with gold, silver and copper. He gave the prospec- tor knowledge and insight, and guided him to the doors of the vaults He has built. The Federal Government handed him title pa. tent to all therein. It is not al crime but a virtue to enter. With drill, pick, blast and spade the prospector has broken the cembi- nation locks and entered. But for him our notes of issue would be as the stump-tailed currency of 1857. But for him this government of ours would be bankrupt.
 Mines will be producing mill ions in gold, silver and copper in that future day when national banks are unknown.
 "A mine contains crop already raised, harvested and on deposit for you to check against at your pleasure.
 The wealth gathered from the mines immortalized King Solomon.
 Mining made Great Britain the worlds commercial dictator.
 Mining has made the United States the richest country in the world.
 Show me a country without mines and 1 will show you a people sunk in depreciation and poverty; and poverty makes towards of na- tions as we'll as of individuals.
 Mining has transformed more poor men into millionaires and raised them to positions of hono~ and trust than any otler business
 Mining has scored less than 35 per cent of failure against 95 per .ent of failures shown in the gen. eral merchandising business of the United States,
 Without the products of the mines you would have neither frying pan nor a table spoon, hat pin nor monetery circulating me- dium."

SUN RIVER DRAWS
ON WATER SUPPLY
Only Possible Shortage Will
Be in Willow Greek
District.

Farmers on the Sun river project
are now beginning to draw m water
for irrigating, according to George
Sanford, director of the project. All
crops are now being irrigated where
as previous to this time, the hay crop
was virtually the only one being irri-
gated.
A good supply of water is available
and will carry the north side until the
middle of July. according to Mr.. Sam
ford. On the Fort Shaw district there
is ample water for the season, but on
Willow Greek the reservoir is not full.
Although during the last two years the
supply of water was sufficient to turn
some over into the Willow Creek reser-
voir. this was not the cast this year
with the result that the supply is short.
All crop conditions are good. Mr..
Sanford reported. and there will prob
ably be little difficulty encountered
through my shortage of water.

WATERED LAND
MAKES HOMES
FOR 100000
Reclamation Service Issues
Statistics at End of the
Twentieth Year.

Homes for more than 10000 per-
sons. according to a report published
by Secretary of the Interior Albert B.
Fall and received by George Sanford.
director of the Sun river irrigation
project. The report follows:
Let us see what irrigation under
government auspices has %concretely
accomplishment this is a timely
quest in view of the fact that it was
twenty years ago this month of June
the congress passed the basic irriga-
ton act. In the present time the
reclamation service has constructed or
under construction 2S projects in Is
states. Living on the reclaimed land
are 100000 people. There are 223
latter.
Acres Under Ditch
Our irrigation systems were pre-
pared to put water on to 2.S45.OOO
acres, as of the 1921 report, Of which
100000 acres have no other water
supply and 1,1S3,OOO acres receive
1,224,OOO acres, and of the second
class, $50. 900 acres were actually irri-
gated in 1921.
I'VE have then found new homes for
100000 people, where only a few hun
bred or at most a few thousand would
otherwise have been living today. In
terms of urban population that means
the city of Washington or almost as
much as San Francisco. In terms of
state population it s a little more than
that of Utah, about 2 ID times that
of Wyoming: six times that of Nevada
and twice that of Delaware. The lands
that are totally dependent upon gov
eminent water produced crops in 1920
that were worth $780, 600, 900. and since
the inception of the work they have
produced considerably over S40O. OOO,-
G0O worth of crops, to say nothing of
livestock and its products.
$780, O0, 900 Investment
1.-THE actual permanent investment
in the reclamation works is around
S13O. 100000 and the crops raised on
all the land that benefits from them
amount to about that in a single year.
The banking capital of the new irriga-
ton communities is S15.OOO,O0O: and
2S4, 900 depositors in PAT banks had
S144. 900, 600 to their credit in 1920.
THE reclaimed lands produce be-
tween two and three times as much in
a%cre-value as the average of agricul-
tural lands in this country; consequent
" they are the equivalent of at least
5000, 900 acres of ordinary land. Visu-
aIize a tract of land as large as Mas
sachusetts but all cultivable and you
get an idea of what an investment of
S13O. 0O0. 900 in twenty years has ac-
complished towards keeping this an
expanding country. In passing let me
say that this capital was derived from
public land sales or revenues and that
it will all be paid back into the public
treasury

Say Chance Game
Legal Because Has
No Blanks on Sale
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Kalispell, June 2j.-The Lindsey
Kalispell company was charged Sat
urday in a preliminary hearing before
Justice Weberg with having sold a de-
vice which violated the state gambling
or punch board law.
The particular device was seized last
March in a local pool hall and %investi-
cation showed that it had been sold by
the Lindsey-Kalispell company. which
take the stand that the device does
not violate the law. The outfit upon
which the charge is based is q familiar
device through which a customer pur-
chases a small picture on the back Of
which is a number which may or may
not entitle the holder to a further
prize, usually a box Of candy.
1t is claimed that the fact that there
is a purchase for value Nd that there
are not any blanks. removes the con-
trivance from the realm of a punch
board or gambling device.
Justice Weberg has taken the case
under advisement.

DR.. Beach Wins Golf
Tourney at Glendive

Special to The Tribune.
Glendive. June 25.-The first golf
tournament held by the Glendive Golf
club this year was won by DR.. r. II.
Beach. DR.. Beach beat Judge Frank
p. Leiper in the final contest two up
and one to play. The game was very
close and exciting during the entire
10 holes, first one of the players
leading only to be displaced by the
other. DIR. Beach was strong on or
near the green's and this proved the
deciding factor in the play, though
Judge Leiper outplayed his opponent
in driving and with the mashie. In the
total number of strokes Judge Leiper
however. used one stroke less than the
victor. The club will probably put on
another tournament next month.
At a meeting of the board Of direct
ors of the club held at the Jordan
hotel on Friday evening, T. E. Val

BETTER FIELD
FOR RETAILERS
IS PREDICTED
p. Mann, Convention
Speaker, Says Cash Sales and
Advertising Is Lesson.

The retail merchant is coming back
and is coming back to a better business
than he left, is the prediction of Fred
p. Mann of Devils Lake. \. D.. who
will be the principal speaker at the
meeting of the Montana Retail Mer-
chants association. opening this morn
ing at Boulder. who was in Great Falls
Sunday on his way to the convention.
The retail merchant will find better
business conditions because the small.
incompetent merchant has left the field
in periods Of stress and because the
successful merchant has learned the
lesson of cash transactions and adver-
Using and selling of goods. Mr.. Mann
said. Mr.. Mann. himself, is a success
full owner and manager Of small city
stores.
Credit Helps No One
Credit never helped anybody" said
Mr.. Mann. '"That brought a lot of
questioning when times were good. but
people ought to sec it better now. It
didn't help the merchant. 1t didn't
help the buyer. It is the trouble with
the country right now. and n reason
why things should be better is that
people have borrowed until they can't
get any more. -.
sometimes INeN tel me tHdl IL
you're selling automobiles you have to
give credit. sell on time. But I say
YOU can sell automobiles for cash and
in fact that is the only way they should
be sold. The fact that a lot of people
were able to buy automobiles easy is
one trouble we have ND in our country.
They have lust enough TO pay to drive
around. and not enough to by what
they need.
Can Pay for Good Time
ITS peculiar. but the amusement
business never suffered. People al
ways find money to pay for having a
good time"
Turning to general conditions. Mr..
Mann mentioned the good crops that
he had seen both in North Dakota and
in northern Montana. He said. how
ever. that in eastern North Dakota
there was perhaps q little too much
rain and that west of Havre a good
rain would help the country at this
"a good CROP will helm us back TO
better business" he said. That's
whore the interests of the merchants
and everybody NJ in this country of
ours arc. But the way to better bust
ness will be gradual, It won't come
over night. 1t will find business men
trained in adversely who have learned
hard lessons.
Forgot How TO Sell
You ask me how things look. IF
you want that applied to your own
city, the first question I would ask
you is: How do your merchants nd
vertise?' Business isn't coming to the
ones who sit back and wait for it.
got to go out and find
one to buy what Won have to sell. The
trouble of the times has been that
merchants could move goods without
craftsmanship and some of them forgot
how to sell.
IF I have a message for merchants
il is, drop the credit and deal for cash
and sell for cash and to advertise and
advertise right.

conventions. in their o%rganiza-

tons. The water struck in the well is
sufficient flow to come within six feet
of the surface and only the injector is
necessary to feed it to the boiler, Mr..
Fulton said. He considers the strik-
ing of water at such depth, three flows
having been brought in in the first

Wheat Is Too Thick

Harlem. June 2J.-W. II. Reed.
father of the summerfallow movement
in this section and farmer on an ex-
tensive scale on the Big flat. has been
following the Campbell method and
expects to reap big results.
Recently he wrote Mr.. Campbell.
who is now in California. about what
he was doing. The only criticism that
Mr.. Campbell had to make was that
he sowed his wheat too thick. Mr..
Reed sowed 40 pounds per acre. Mr..
Campbell wrote that it is n noticeable
fact that the wheat is generally too
thick this spring. The cool weather
with plenty of moisture has made it
stool o u wonderfully, and many are
afraid now that unless there continues
to be plenty of moisture until the
grain is well matured that it may suf-
fer. The wheat in some places is
about a foot high, but most of it is
considerably less on account of the
backward spring.
