to Red Buttes, without rest, and
averaging fifteen miles an hour,
for three hundred and twenty
miles.
Although the receipts of the
pony express were enormous, at
times its expenses were also great.
There was an army of employees,
along the route, and it cost an i'm
mense sum to provide feed for the
stock; grain being from ten to
twenty-five cents a pound. 1t is
said that the amount received by
the express company was some
times $1,000, or even more. From
official documents fifty to one hun
dred and thirty-five dollars we're
frequently realized.
Letters were often written on
tissue paper and wrapped in oil
silk to protect from dampness, and
then placed in the four pockets
with which the leather pouch was
provided. AT first five dollars a
half ounce was charged. Some of
these letters cost over twenty-five
dollars to transmit. The express
ran semi-weekly, and carried on
each trip an average Of three hun
dred and fifty letters. During the
Civil war, even newspapers were

that the hoppers were very plentiful,
although l had used poison quite
freely. The land adjoining was va
cant and because no poison was used
there the pests were constantly fly
ing into my fields, so that the time
and expense of putting out poison
was practically lost"
A few weeks ago, the gulls came,
great clouds of them, says Mr.. La
Vale. They stayed for two or
three days and then moved on to
conquer a new hopper army. Since
that time not a hopper has been
seen.
LaValle calls the birds "benefact-
ors" and feels that they should be
protected. He thinks they are the
same which legend credits saving
crops for Norman settlers in Utah.
Gulls as a result have been protected
by law in the Mormon state for
many years.

Sea Gulls Eradicate
G~rasshoppers ON The
Farms of Pomdera
After Poison Failed

Sea Gulls of a variety thought
to be the Franklin gull are solving
a problem in eradicating grass
hoppers in Pondera county, which
poison and other forms of prevent
atives long since have failed to do,
according to P. F. LaValle of the
Valier-Montana Land G. Water
company.
Flocks working In units of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 birds have
done the job SO nicely around Waller
that farmers in that section of the
state look forward to a hopperless
season next year and there is now
a movement on foot in that county
aiming to protect the birds by state
law and give them the credit they
deserve. Pondera county, like many
other sections, has suffered a great
loss through the pest and though
poison has been used in great guam
titles the desired effect was not OBJ
tanned until the gulls came.
During the last six or eight weeks
great flocks have commenced to prey
on the grasshoppers," says Mr.. La
Vale. From my personal observa-
ton it would seem that they gener-
ally work in alfalfa fields immedi-
ately after the hay has been taken
off, and usually move about from
place to place in flocks of about
1000 to 5000. After working for
upon it's size, I have noticed that
a day or two on a field, depending
practically all the grasshoppers are
destroyed.

ing courses offered there. These sci.
ence courses at Montana State Col.
lege have received wide recognition
in recent years for the thorough
preparation of graduates. This past
year the State of New York placed on
its special list the engineering depart
ment of Montana State, which means
that graduates of this schools engi-
neering courses a go into n of the
largest and most strict states of the
Union and practice their profession
without further examination, an hon.
or accorded to only a few institutions.
The demand for graduates in ag-
ricultural education this spring was
greater than the supply from the
Glass of 1924, and the same holds
true of graduates in the other
courses. Americas great electrical
corporations are taking each year a
quota of Montana State graduates
for their experimental laboratory
work. The big wireless station of the
government at Salt Lake was in
stalled last spring by a young man
only two years out of the electrical
course at Montana State and another
young man of the same class is in
charge of electrical engineering prob
lens in one of the new automatic
telephone districts of New York City.
All of the engineering courses Of
fered by the State of Montana, ex-
cept the course in mining engineering
are offered at the State College at
Bozeman. Here the student may pc
cialize in civil engineering, electrical
engineering, mechanical engineering,
chemical engineering, architectural
engineering, irrigation engineering,
industrial engineering and in engi-
neering physics. The engineering de-
partment has two of the new build
ings at Montana State and it's new
shops are n of the finest engineer
ing laboratories of the country.
Agriculture also offers a number of
special branches in which the young
may specialize. College men are

young man who is equipped with
scientific agricultural training has 6
better chance than ever before to gel
started in profitable agriculture
work. The college offers work il
agronomy (crops and soils), in ami.
NAL husbandry and in agricultural
education. The student may take
special work along lines of farm man
agement, horticulture, agricultural
engineering, dairying, dairy manufac-
turing, veterinary work and similar
lines. Many of the graduates of these
courses at M. S. G. are employed as
county agents, as teachers in Smith
Hughes high schools, as farmers and
farm managers, and as specialists in
the various branches of agricultural
work.
The college of household and in
dustrial arts offers unique courses to
young women. The course in home
economics is one of the most thor
ough courses in the institution and
a large number of the young women
graduates devote a year or two to
school teaching after graduation. The
course is distinctly a training for bet
ter home making and it teaches the
scientific matter in a sound and sens
IDLE way. In industrial art the young
women have a course that is diStinc-
tive. With their own departments,
their large studies and their unique
study and practice rooms the young
women of the art department form
one of the most important groups Of
the school.
General science courses have a
stronger appeal each year to young
people. Training at Montana State

SYSTEM
I'm RAVALLI COUNTY
PROVES SUCCESSFUL

lvrHHE year 1924 will go down in
history as n of the most severe
tests for an irrigation system
ever experienced in the development
of the northwest. With one of the
hottest and dryest summers ever
known following a winter of excep-
t~ionally light snowfall the present
season has rendered valueless many
water-rights heretofore considered
perfect. A large percent of the nat
ural flow creek rights which have
never failed up to the present time
are worthless this year.
In spite Of the general condition,
the "Big DITCH" with its Lake Como
reservoir, has been able constantly to
furnish adequate water for all lands
requiring irrigation, under its sys-
TEN. Further than that there is still
a reserve supply of around $4,000
acre feet in Como; enough to furnish
the season up to October 1, and pro-
vide an extra supply for stock water.
The formation of the Bitter Root
valley irrigation district, it's acquire
ment of the old B.. r. V. I. system,
and through rehabilitation of the
main canal is nov a matter of history.
In the face of the most strenuous
opposition, and with an organization
on the verge of bankruptcy, the board
of commissioners of the Bitter Root
valley irrigation system in less than
one year rebuilt the canal which was
in critical condition, and made it one
of the finest irrigation systems in
the entire northwest.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Mr.. Ralph Schneeloch of Portland,
and his associates for this marvellous
change. For it was Mr.. Schneeloch,
a specialist in irrigation finance, who
pointed the way to an economical
program of reconstruction. And, it
was his firm together with Messrs.
Freeman, Smith and Camp, which
purchased the bond issue of $780,
10000, enabling the retirement of
the outstanding debt, and the recon-
struction program to be put into eff
feet.
The work commenced last October,
was completed ahead of schedule, and
water was turned in in June of this
year. High and dangerous fumes
were replaced with earth sections.
The long and costly Burnt Fork
flume was eliminated, and earth
canal substituted, worn fumes were
replaced with new structures set on
concrete piers. Concrete intakes and
.pillways replaced the old wooden
at the pipelines. And the newest
and most approved steel spill-gates
