NEW BOOKLET DESCRIBES
TIMBER WEALTH

Observation-Disclosures growing has
become one of the great industries
Of Montana, taking its place
alongside livestock production and
cold, silver, and copper mining.
How timber is grown and harvest
ed in Montana and the reasons
for its Importance in the state
are told in a recent publication,
what the National Forests Mean
to Montana" Miscellaneous cir
cular 48), issued by the Forest
Service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This
booklet is free upon request as
long as the supply lasts.
The value of the forests lies
not alone in the timber which may
be cut, says the booklet, but also
in the relation the timbered areas
bear to stream flow and water
power, and to pleasure and health.
Montana has nearly 5000, 900
acres of irrigated land, and this
area is being steadily enlarged.
Much Of the irrigated farm land
of the state depends for its sup
ply of water on the forested
of the mountains, now pro
tected by the National forests.
The forests in different parts
Of Montana present a striking con-
trast. Four-ffths of the timber
is west of the Continental Divide.
This region is the seat of the
states lumber industry, and here
he large mills are located near
magnificent stands of western yell
ow pine with western larch and
Douglas fir also in abundance. Far
% the east tree growth is very
sparse and is confined to isolated
and to the rim rocks and
bluffs along streams.
Along with the timber the pub
~ication describes the grazing and
.ecreational resources of the Ma
.ional forests of Montana and the
ways in which they are used and
protected.

Opportunity begs to announce that she has
moved her headquarters into the Northwest, where
she is pleased to offer ambition and capital the most
extensive choice of main chances on the continent.
Young men, with an eye on metropolitan ca
reers-farm boys convinced that the prospects and
returns of agriculture do not compare with city life
or earnings-and savings accounts, contemplating
investment in other parts of the country are earnest
ly advised to examine these bargains before going
elsewhere.
Personal and operating expenses in population
centers- and factory areas are now so excessive that
further expansion there is %proftless.
Average Eastern pay-envelopes no longer hold

how trade and fabrication have thus successfully
moved from region to region, as national develop
ment exhausted earlier Iarders and consumed near
err natural wealths.
Many Of these larders and most of those wealths
ere quite depleted. Wherefore commerce, like a
sheep herder, is compelled to drive industrial flocks
to fresh feeding grounds.
The world is suddenly and sadly aware how
r~eckEessly war drew upon supplies and wiped out
reserves intended for another quarter century.
That's why our own country was forced to i'm
port a billion and a half dollars worth of equivalent
Northwest products in 1925. That's why it must in
creasingly rely upon the crops and herds and dairy
yields and fbres and ores and structural stuffs and
provisions and bread grains of the Ninth Reserve
District-which alone contains all the Eight Eternal
Necessities.
Here you have iron, gold, copper, silver, oil,
coal, water power and pottery clays for industry;
you have meat, poultry, milk, eggs, and creamery
products for market baskets; you have wheat, corn,
oats, barley, linseed and rye for mills; you have
wool and flax for looms; you have granite, lime
stone, steel, timber and cement for builders; you
have root crops, berries, fruit, sugar and honey for
grocers. You have everything for every human and
economic need, and both space and fertility to pro-
vide it exhaustlessly.

You have state universities, agricultural colleges and
the finest rural schools in the Republic. You have
ten thousand scenic lakes to contrast with palmettoed
swamps and parching palm trees.
YOU HAVE THE GOODS.
Now step up to Opportunity's counter and sell
them. But first sell yourselves and your children.
Optimism begins at home. And so does fair
play. Give boys and girls what they earn. All
work and no pay mainly expresses Jacks dizziness
and JnPs restlessness, too. Share with them and
they'll fare with you.
Encourage membership in Juvenile stock
breeding and Investigation clubs. Bring conviction
to the family that farming offers best average re-
turns in intelligent effort; offers more comforts; Of
fers fuller independence; and offers a quicker nest

Remind them Of radio and monograph and au-

movies and telephones, just around the corner-and
OF faster approaching electrifcation for sawbuck

rator and dishpan. Contrast their circumstances
with the Prairie Mothers grim lot.
Those crude, hard, isolated, uncertain times are
gone-and d%eflation's last scars, healed.
Dividend years have lastingly settled in the
Northwest. Stick around and collect them.

Although supporters of the New

pendent children in Washington have
nosed out by narrow margins in two
preliminary sllirmishes in the Senate.
Chairman Capper of the District COM
mit,ea has another chance to obtain
! favora BILE action on the measure ap-
! proved by the people of the city.
| This further opportunity will come
! shortly after the Senate meets to-
! morrow. ard was made possible large
| lv by Senator Cole Blease, Democrat.
| OF South Carolina. who, after voting
| against the Capper amendment yes
| terday, announced that he would
move a reconsideration.
Majority Leader Curtis then had a
una nimous consent agreement adopted
under which vote on the Blease mo.
| ton to reconsider and on the final
| passage of the bill will be had tomor-

Bill Is New York Theory.
The bill before the Senate yesterday
was the House measure, embodying
the Nnw York theory of creating an

| 10 distribute financial aid to de-
| penden. children whose mothers are
| able 70 keep them at home. The
peop!a OF the District prefer to have
this function performed by the Board
of Public Welfare, which Congress
created only two months ago for the
very purpose of co-ordinating all such
activities in one agency.
The roli-call vote yesterday came on

out the New York provision for sep
arate board. and. although he lost by

After the Capper amendment had
been rejected by one vote. Senator
RIease made the announcement that he
would seek a reconsideration of the
amendment within two days. The bill
was about to be put to a final vote.
when Senator Blease again took the
floor and explained that no time
would be saved by passing the bill yes
terdav. He said he would vote for the
massage if the question was put. and
would then move to reconsider the
vote by which the bill passed. in order
to get a reconsideration of the Capper
amendment. 1t was then that the de-
cision was reached to let the matter
go over until 1nufSQaS.
Wadsworth Protests Label.
Senator Wadsworth, Republican. of
New York who is sponsoring the sep
arate Mothers Aid Board, protested
yesterday against Senator Bruce of
| Maryland labelling his bill as New
York plan. Senator Wadsworth con-
| tended that the National Child Wei
fare committee, with representatives
/ throughout the country, has been
working for mothers aid legislation
| for number of years. Senator Bruce
again insisted that the entire contro-
versy is one between the people of the
/ District of Columbia and a little
| group of foreign enthusiasts
In another appeal for approval OF
the Districts own plan, Senator Cap

known as the Board of Public Wei
fare In their report they included a
recommendation that the Congress be
asked to enact mothers aid legislation
as quickly as possible and that it be
administered by this Board Of Public
Welfare.
Cites Unanimous Support.
1.-The District Commissioners received
that recommendation from this group
of more than a thousand Of the repre-
sentative citizens of the District of
Columbia. as I have said. The cor
poration counsel drafted a bill embody-
ing the idea OF a consolidated board.
Another bill was drafted setting up
mothers aid program under the di-
rection of this new welfare board.
The District Commissioners brought it
to Congress. asked the chairman of
the District committee OF the Senate
and the chairman of the District com
mittee of the House to introduce
these two bills. They were introduced
within a few days after the Senator
from New York introduced his bill.
The District committees of both
Houses held extensive hearings. and
never was there more unanimity of
support for any measure affecting the
interests Of the District of Columbia
than that exhibited by the representa-
tive citizens who appeared before the

Unjust to People Here"
Senator Capper said: "Mr. President,
it is unjust to the people OF the Dis.
trict of Columbia even to intimate
that they have not been interested
in this mothers aid legisla atiOn. 1t is
unfair to intimate that the proposal
which comes before the Senate in
the form of an amendment Of the
Senate District committee is an after
thought on their part. The truth is
that the people of the District Of
Columbia generally. and especially
those who have been concerned in
the welfare problems Of this city for
many years, have for the past two
years been giving the greatest atten.
ton to the mothers aid legislation
now before Congress.
"a strong and representative com.
mission, known as the Public Welfare
Commission on Legislation, was ap-
pointed by the District Commits

leaders in welfare work in this city.
among them Miss Mabel Boardman
and Justice SlddOns. They sent a
special committee to various cities for
the purpose of obtaining the best in

other cities. They particularly sought
the best methods of administering

Many birds go south in winter
There are few species which do
not go south and among these is
the little snow-bird, well known in
the north There is another sort
of snow-bird we'll known to the
police, to brakemen on freight trains
and to travellers along the main
highways of the land This is tho
human snow-bird, who unlike his
feathered namesake, goes south
Just ahead of the first cold weather
of the season.
Acting Chief of Police A. B. Murch-
ison stated yesterday that the Dou-
glas police department is furnish

dozen to twenty southern bound hu-
mans each night.
Ever since the first cold snap
during the third week of November
the highways have been crowded
with the free lance tourists" Stage
drivers arriving in Douglas Wednes-
day afternoon stated that they had
passed sfFonh-50 to 80 of these, ped
estrians during their regular runs.
The rema arkable thing about the exo-
dus of the snowbird this fall is
that there are women in unusual
numbers among the wanderers and
rough life, the lack of food and
shelter and the hardships of the high
ways and byways about as we'll as
the men do.
: Most of the women are accom-
panied by a, husband or brother
but now and then one is encoun-
tered who is crossing the country
alone. Nearly all those who emu
late the birds in their passage south
ir the past two or three years have
acquired the habit of 'bumming'
rides from motorists and the time
honored custom riding the rods"
that is, travelling about, slung from
the brake beams of a freight train,
IS being neglected.
While giving a ride to one of
these travellers is considered risky
it is at least interesting for con-
versation with the vagrant usually
