Illness Prevalent
This week an unusually large
amount of illness among the pu-
pills is noted. There were so alb

because of Illness, mostly flu and
bad colds. Attention is called to
the fact that those who drop out
of classes and go to bed as soon
as they notice any symptoms of
illness recover much more qutcKiy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Arizona
is the only element Immediately con-
cerned in the proposals for power
development of the lower Colorado
river, which has not given whole
hearted approval to the new scheme,
Secretary Work of the interior de-
rartment, said today in state
ment.
"Telegrams of approval and con-
gratulations have now been received
by Secretary Hoover, Commissioner
Mead and myself" he said, from
what would appear to be every inn
portant association in California. OF
course we are extremely pleased to
find so universal an acceptance of
the plan from ten or twelve groups
of entirely diverse interests. The
support which Senator Johnson and
congressman Swing have given to
the plan, although it is a depar-
ture from the methods which they
proposed, is indeed gratifying as
it unites a solid front in the pro-
posed development of the river.
In providing that the cost of an
all American CanaI should not fail
upon the land already under irriga-
tion in the Imperial Valley and that
the cost should be borne by the
issue, the necessity of appropriations
from the, federal treasury is avoided
together with the placing of the
whole project on a business basis

and with the advantage of low
rate of government interest, each
seems to carry an appeal
The new proposal abandons the
municipal control Of the Colorado
river as proposed in the Swing
Johnson bill and also the territorial
distribution of power, which was the
chief objection raised. 1t also meets
the objection of large portion of
the United States which does not
wish to see the government involved
in the development of power be-
yond that which is a by-product
of flood control or irrigation The
proposal also suggests that if Cali
fornia unqualifiedly accepts the
Colorado contracts the provision will
effectively protect the water rights
Of the northern states.
"The only element Immediately
concerned which has not yet express
ed it's wholehearted approval of the
plan is the state of Arizona. Con-
sidering the opportunities for de-
velopments which that state will
receive from the control of the river
for use within the state and the rec
lamation of two hundred thousand
acres of it's arid land, all are adj
vantages to Arizona, which will
doubtless cause her citizens to in
sist upon joining the consolidated
effort"

candle.
King Albert and Prince Leopold
came to st: Jean clinic when they
learned Of the passing of the cardi-
nal and remained for several minutes
silently beside the bier, where the
body lay clothed in ceremonial robes.
Prior to this, Burgomaster Max came
personally to record the death of
his ancient war time ally
Cardinal Mercier died as he had
lived, at peace with men and good
inroads of insidioH disease for weeks
with the same resolute and un-
daunted courage. with which he had
faced the enemies of his country,
during four long years of occupa-
tion. This prince of the church,
above all men, was the spirit in
carnate of the Belgian people, un-
broken under the German military
heel
During the "A years of his we'll
: filled life, he lived up to all the
precepts of the gospel, but was no
passive martyr.
"The scripture says that when smit-
ten on the left cheek, we must turn
the right" he pnce remarked to
Brand Whitlock, the American min
ister,s in the days of 1916 when the
German general, Won Bissing, kept
him virtually a prisoner in his
palace at Malines, "but it lays down
no rule about what we must do
thereafter"
How the great prelate interpreted
that omission all the world knows.
The cardinals principal interest in
life since the war has been his work
to bring the high church of England
and the Roman Catholic church closer
together and although nothing Of Il
concrete character was ever accom-
plished, he had not altogether lost
hope of eventually realizing an aim
which was very dear to him.
All the newspapers published spe
cia1 editions this evening announcing
the cardinals death, which provoked
CONSERVATION generally despite the
fact that every one knew the car d.
inal's days were numbered. Belgium
throughout the length and breadth of
the land is in deep mourning.

AMuNDEN PRAISES COOK

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 2S.-
DIR. Frederick a. Cook is genius"
in the estimation of Captain Roald
Amundsen, and no matter what he
may or may not have done in busi-
ness, deserves the respect of the
American people for his intrepid ex-
plorations. DIR. Cook may not have
discovered the north pole, but Com
mander r. e. Peary, also may have
mot, the former having as good a
claim as the latter, Captain Amund-
sen, discoverer of the south pole,
said in an interview here today.
The Norwegian explorer apparently
had not intended to speak of the
discredfted discoverer of the north
pole, but spoke with feeling when
he did touch upon the subject.
II don't know whether he deserves
to be in prison or not" Amundsen
said.
s.To me he was a genius. When
we were young men together in a
Belgian antartic expedition l said
that if any man ever reached the
north pole it would be Dr. Cook.

Although the Peking administra-

Chinese leaders here, however, do
not believe that the soviet will send
troops to Manchuria TO compel Chang

thought Moscow fears Japanese in

Nevertheless, it is iep. rted that
1000 soviet troops are concentrated

a home and is assessed for only 500, he would pay
Is cents-a nickel year. If he was a rich Nam

chap who does business right on Main street, has a

draws an assessment of S15, 900. All, there is the
chap who must stand the brunt of the burden. He
will be ruined to the tune of S22.50. Will he hol-
Ter? Not him. He is used to it.
This Mainstreeter has been digging up for rural
roads, county seats, river crossings, phone lines and
Stampedes so long that he does it with a smiles He
boosts from habit and from principle and because
he knows somebody has to overcome the work OF
knockers and spite-WOrkels. He does it for the
good of the whole town and country because he has
vision sufficient to see that only through the pros
perity Of the community can he prosper.
1t is extremely unfortunate that in the great
scheme of human affairs it is so much easier to tear
down than to build up. Easier to criticise than to
accomplish. Easier to stir up dissenti0n than to
bring about harmony and cooperation that makes
possible genuine economy for mutual benefits.
But optimism springs eternal in the human
breast-especially in Montana. Something of value
should rebound to the benefit of the community from
superior wisdom and ability. Perhaps the great bar
gain will be struck that will bring cheaper power
to the city, cheaper lights to the private consumer,
and business streets BETTING a civilized communi-
ty. Perhaps it will be this year. Here's hoping. If
such should come about The Herald, and its humble
editor, the sole author Of these comments, will be
the first to welcome them, acclaim them and give
full credit to the author.
If, on the other hand, the city should fail ut
terly to receive the benefits open to it the past two
weeks, through cooperative offers by the state and
the power company, citizens will Of course draw
their own conclusions as to who is responsible for the
failure.
