FIRST IRRIGATION
DISTRICT

A STATUTE was enacted by the
a last session Of the Montana
legislature under which irrigation
districts may be organized. The
first one that has come up to the
point of a sale of bonds and actual
construction is reported to find
liberal inquiry for its securities.
The people of Montana are in
tensely interested in developments
of this kind. There has been a
growing sentiment in the state for
a number of years that we as a
commonwealth must get definitely
behind irrigation. The government
moves slowly. Sometimes it seems
as if the government does not
move at all. In any event sooner
or later, the state must join hands
with the government in this work
and perhaps lead the way to better
accomplishment.
There is no reason why irriga.
ton bonds should not sell. To be
sure there is generally some com.
p~lication. The process is long
drawn out. There a hardly be
loss in the case of good land, be

red tape and other ~hindrances.
There is much yet to do. There
was an effort before u last leg
islature to bring about a coditica'

This is still sadly needed. The

Washington, July 25.-Ever play
auction golf? 1t is a game of great
possibilities. 1t is the newest varia-
ton of the ancient and honorable sport
that is acclaimed one of Scotland s
two greatest contributions to mankind.
1t was invented by one of those rest
less souls who are always seeking new
thrills or a little extra kick in what
ever they door imbibe. The identity
of the inventor anne be heralded to
an anxious world. but one of these days
fame will seek him out. A brass plate
will mark the spot where he first
teed off in this vale of tears and a
monument will be erected where he
dropped his last putt.
Compared with auction golf the old
time nassau is flat. insipid and alto
gether Nolsteady. while the conven-
tional 1S-hole match is as penny-ante
to table stakes poker.
Bridge, pinochle and pitch players
will recognize Immediately that when
YOU add the auction feature to golf
YOU have introduced a highly specula-
tive element into an otherwise staid
pastime. They will grasp the idea and
possibilities of the new game. To 9th
ers it will be necessary to give a SOM
what detailed explanation.
Auction golf may be played as a
twosome, but it is essentially a four
ball match. When partners have been
arranged. the pair having the honor
on the first tee make a bid for the
first hole. That is to say, they an
nounce that they are prepared TO con-
tract to play the first hole with a GER
tain aggregate score. Their opponents
may then bid one less, may permit the
ori0Irol hid ~ ctarI pr , aptthto that
bid. In any event, the bidding CON
tinues until one pair is satisfied 10
let the other have the contract. In
case of a double there may be a re-
double, and unless a limit has been
fixed. the redoubllng may be carried
on until one side weakens.
A contract having been established.
play begins. The pair that has the
contract strives to play the hole in
the stipulated number of strokes. or
less. If they make their contract they
collect the amount of the agreed stake.
II they make the hole in one stroke
less than their contract, they collect
double the amount of the stake. If
they fail to make their contract by
one stroke. their loss is double the
stake. If they fail by two strokes.
it is four times the stake. All settle
ments. Of course. are subject to what
ever doubling or redoubling there may
have been on the tee.
Complicated but Sporting
Thus auction golf is seen to be COM
plicated but spOrting-"Not so dusty
as the latest English slang has it. 1t

time in automobiles than all the rest
of the world combined. Probably,
also, they spend more money on
sports and amusements. In general,
the hours of labor are favorable to
leisure. Even in the business world
there has been some complaint that
executives and managers no longer
cling to their tasks with the old
time tenacity, and Sam Vauclain,
the picturesque president of the
Baldwin Locomotive works, has
been singled out by the commenta-
tor as a big business man who still
loved business and was always on
the job. A critic who had seen
more than Mrs. Asquith and were
less inclined to judge America in
the light of sterotyped proposes
sions might have complained that
we had reached the stage where we
had begun to work for the sake of
adding to our luxuries and enjoy
ments and that we were acquiring
leisure without having learned how
to use it.
MRS. Asquith names the more
aristocratic sports of which the
well-to-do English r fond. But
even these are not synonymous with
culture. Culture is a matter of the
mind, not muscle, though undoubt-
edly the English upper class en-
vironment in which games and the
arts of social intercourse are pre-
vailingly refined is conducive to a
high degree Of mental cultivation"

WELCOME TO THE
EDITORS

THE National Editorial associa-
ton tour reaches Great Falls
today. The organization is no'
nearing the end of a journey that
has occupied three weeks OF time
within the confines of Montana.
The visitors have listened to a
great deal of oratory. They have
had presented to them figures in
progress and production until their
note books must now be filled
nearly to the last pages. A pro-
gram for today has been arranged,
which is not so very strenuous. 1t
is hoped that our guests may enjoy
seeing some Of the. things, which
have been developed in the build
ing Of the city of Great Falls and in
which our good citizens take pride.
From Miles City to Yellowstone
park and from Yellowstone to Mis-
soula and from Missoula to Glacier
and from the northern wonderland
to the imperial grain fields of the
Judith basin, the publishers have
been entertained in a way that has
kept them busy during all of the
daylight hours and into some OF
Montana's glorious nights. AS they
come to the city by the Great Falls
of the Missouri, the publishers wish
most heartily to add their welcome
to that which is extended by the
citizens of the city. We feel that
it is good for Montana that these
newspaper men have come to the
state. We think that it will work
wonderfully for the spreading OF
knowledge regarding the good
things that we have.
To our mind, the National Edi-
torial association has great posi-
bilities. 1t can become really the
strongest organization of its kind
in the United States. This may be
brought about, if its present eff
cient management shall continue
with consistent effort. Its men,
bership for the most part own i'm
portant weekly papers, together
with a representation from some OF
the smaller dailies. W. entertain
a high opinion of this organization
because the weekly paper after all
is the broad and abiding founda-
ton of journalism. 1t is close to
the hearts of the people. 1t ap-
prehends all of the problems of the
community. The big daily papers
run up tall spires of accomplish
ment. They fill a great mission in
getting quickly to the people the
news of the world. They exercise
powerful influences in great ma
tional movements. but they really do
not know so we'll as do the smaller
publications what are the hopes and
aspirations of the common people.
Great Falls, therefore, extends a
most cordial welcome to the visit
ing editors.

Bozeman, July 27.-The official trip
local United States fish hatchery to
the Yellowstone park was in connection
with the investigation under way with
regard to the depredations of the peli-
can, and also in connection with the peli-
cans responsibility for the parasites
that infest the trout of Yellowstone
lake.
The investigation is being conducted
by DIR. Henry p. Ward, head of the
department of biology of the University
of Illinois. who is. assisted by Professor
Hyatt of the same university. They
have determined beyond question that
the pelican eats more fish than are
caught by all the anglers that frequent
Yellowstone park, and that they also
destroy more spawn than is taken by
the United States bureau Of fisheries
in its extensive operations in Yellow
stone lake and tributary waters.
On one occasion Professor Hyatt OBJ
served 45 pelicans fishing in the mouth
Of one of the most productive spawn
ing streams. while II others were IN
sight at the same time in adjacent
streams.
The work in connection with the par
asites is not yet sufficiently advanced
to draw any definite conclusions. but
it is a rapidly growing belief in the
minds of those informed on the subject
that the pelican is a more destructive
agent than the mountain lion, the wolf
or coyote and that regulations should
be made that will restrain his activities.

New Pope Became cardinal-Last June

Rome.-Cardina Achille Ratti, arch
bishop of Milan, was for several years
papal nuncio in Poland, where his dis
charge of important ecclesiastical
functions when the Polish question be-
came acute earned for him the esteem
of Benedict Nv and the gratitude OF
vatican authorities. 1t was because OF
this service that the red hat was CON
ferred upon him on June 16, l92l,
when a similar honor was bestowed
on Cardinal laurent. Cardinal Rattl

Logue and Bisleti, respectively deans
of the cardinal priests and the cardi-
nal deacons. He was asked in Latin
by Cardinal Vannutelli, in accordance
with custom, if he accepted the cleo
ton to be supreme pontiff, and the
new pope answered with the formal:
"Since it is the will of God l must
obey"
The new pope was then escorted to
the ante-roOm within the Sistlns
chapel. where he discarded his cardi-
nails robes, assisted by the conclavistS,
and the papal vestments, which had
been held in readiness since the opel.-
ing of the cOnclave, were placed upon
him.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel. There the cardinals, accord
ing to their rank, and headed by Va
nutelli, made their first act of adora-

feet and then his hands, after which
the pope received them in embrace
and bestowed upon them his first

Washlnton.-The field of possible
soldiers bonus tHxcs has been mar
rowed to eight sources by the subcom-
mittee of the Republican members OF
the House ways and means committee
dealing with the tax problem.
These sources were stated as fol-
lows: A gasoline consumption tax OF
possibly l cent a gallon; license tax
on automobiles of about % cents per
horsepower; stamp tax on bank
checks at about / cent for each check
tax on real estate transfers at the
rate of about > cents on each $40 In
vOlved, and increased taxes on admis-
sions where the sum paid exceeds 20
cents; cigarettes, tobacco and docu-
mentary stamps.
Representative Longworth of ohio,
acting chairman of the subcommittee,
in the absence of Representative Ford
ney, said there was little sentiment for
any increase either in the first-class or
second-class postage rates, but added
! that there had been some discussion
of an advance in the parcel post rates.
In the House Representative Perlarn,
Republican, New York, has introduced
bill proposing II general increase i'll

an additional S3OO,OO0,0OO year in

The bonus taxes will be temporary,
Mr.. Longworth said, extending over
three years, and will be designed
solely to take care of the cash pay
ments to he made during the two and

1t was explained that the cost of the
other four options to be included in

over twenty years and would not be-
| gin to be serious charge against the
| federal treasury for several years at
least
Members of the subcommittee Zig

| furnished by treasury experts, the
| $3.50, 100000 yearly needed for three
| years for the cash payments could be
| obtained from the eight sources out
| lined. Exact rates in each case re-
| main TO be fixed, but the subcommit-

1t then will be passed upon by the

means committee, and, under present
plans. will be submitted in turn to Re

ing.
Graduated increases in the various
kinds of documentary stamp taxes
now in force were discussed in the
subcommittee, with sentiment said to
have been in favor of imposing the
highest rate in the case of the trans
fer of capital stock and bonds. The
figure suggested was 1-1O of per cent
on all transfers. The present tax is
1-2O of l per cent in the case OF the
original transfer and Loo of per cent
on each subsequent transfer.
The suggested increase in the taxes
on cigarettes is estimated to yield 3d.
