farm, Opposite Chelsea the river
divides into two channels around
an island. The north channel,
while always filled with water, is
not the one that carries the main
current. The water moves gently
through this bayou and drops
most of it's sediment and is warm
ed by the sun. 1t has its source
in the SHOWS of the Rockies and is
therefore ideal water for inducing
plant growth. Using power pur-
chased from the Montana-Dakota
company at an extremely low
rate, the water is lifted by a cen
trifugal pump some Is feet into
a main canal, from which the wa
ter may be led by l~aterals and
sub-laterals to any part of the
farm as it is developed. AS ex-
planned by County Agent Warden,
the farm is merely in the process
of development. 1t was begun two
years ago and this years crop
consists of 1900 acres of alfalfa,
most of it sown last year, 1900
acres of wheat and $50 acres of
potatoes. Up to the date of the
demonstration irrigation had been
confined to the alfalfa, which was
approaching the stage where the
first crop will be cut. 1t was the
intention to turn the water onto
the potato field, later if necessary,
ON the wheat. The heavy rains of
the week just past will, of course,
make this unnecessary for a time.
1t is not the idea that irrigation
is necessary to produce crops IN
this part of Montana, but it's ap-
plication, where the water is so
easily and cheaply litter from the
adjacent river makes intensive
farming possible and large yields
virtually certain. This is espe-
cially true of alfalfa which the
company expects to make n of
its main crops.
Deep, Rich Soil
The rapidity with which the
brush covered land is converted
to plowed field, leveled and pull
verified, ready for seed, was per
haps the most striking part of
the work witnessed by the people
who visited the farm last Friday.
A powerful tractor pulled one
great pillow which turned a furrow
of 26 inches or more of a depth OF
from 10 to IA inches. The brush
is thinned as much as possible by
fire and the heaviest of it cut and
burned in heaps. But the great
er part of it, willows, burberry
bushes, rose bushes to a height of
from two to seven feet, is turned
under by the pillow as though it
was nothing more than tall stub
BILE. There the wood and roots
lay until the action of the water
and the earth rots it. The field
is put into alfalfa with a nurse
GRO Of wheat or other grain the
first year. Last years nurse
crop, sown with the alfalfa plant
ed yielded % bushels to the acre.
Shows The Way
The equipment necessary to
subdue land at such a rapid rate
of course calls for a large invest
ment, but it serves to provide
other farmers with a vision of
the possibilities within the vast
area of these river bottom lands.
AS time goes on and wealth ac-
cumulates farming on these lands
either with or without the use Of
water is certain to furnish profit
able occupation for many e
Space forbids adequate descrlp-

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-A
charge that the investigation and
report of the Railroad Commission
in the city's fight for lower gas
rates are being crushed through -
was hurled at the hearing today by
Paul Overton, attorney for the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric Com
pany.
He first said that that case was
being "railroaded - through with
out giving the "defense of the COM

When threatened with contempt
of court proceedings by State Rail

Overton modified his remark to
Crushed through. "
Overton centered his cross ex-
animation of Samuel S. Bloom, as
sistant engineer of the commission,
against one of the exhibits. He en-

Bloom smiled broadly when he

MORE FLYERS
WILL TRY FOR
RECORD HERE

X. V. Anderson, one of the avia-
tors interested in the esprit of
California, y the Fokker plane which
failed by two hours 10 equal tho
world S endurance record at San
Francisco recently, arrived IN I'll
Centre last night. Anderson came
lcre to look over the valley with
view of making the next attempt
at setting a new worlds endurance
record in the valley.
c. f. Kingsford- Smith, who with
Lieutenant George Il. Pond, piloted
the plane on the endurance flight
at San Francisco, and G. II. p. Ulm
are the other two aviators that are
partners in the ownership of the
plane. Pond is regarded by these
flyers as the most logical man for
endurance FLYING on the coast and
is hired by them in their endurance
tests
Anderson in conversation with
w. j. Strickland, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, outlined the
history of the plane. He explained
that the three filters originally came
to this country to enter the Dole
flight and that the ship was built
in the United States. At that time
the Australian premier was backing
the project but after nlcy had start
ed building the ship change of pre-
micrship in Australia threw them en-
tirely on their own resources and as
a result they were forced to abandon
the Dole race.
Conditions Favorable
He said that the three are now
seeking through endurance flights
TO clear their title to the ship and
once this is done they will seek to
fly from this country to Australia,
stopping at the Hawaiian Islands
cnrOute.
We need $4,000 to set sail for
Australia,' - Anderson declared. elf
we can raise $4,000 in the valley
and capture the $4,000 prize for en-
durance flying we will be able to
Ec off ON the trip
Anderson went INTO dctall relat-
i've to their plane and intimated
that should the trial be made here
he, was sure they would succeed,
the conditions being all of favorable
nature.
Anderson pointed out that it was
only the need for excessive use Of
gasoline that kept the flyers from
setting a record at San Francisco.
Here the flight would be made with
Pond in charge of the ship, Ander-
son acting as relief pilot. Radio
communication would be kept up
continually while in the air.
1t is expected that a meeting will
be called by Strickland to place the
matter before the business men Of
the valley.
