WASHINGTON'S GREATNESS

Perhaps no other heroic figure in history stands out in So many different views as George Washington Connected with his life and works there many diff eren identities all of which contain absorbing inter- est. In his greatness consisted Of his col- bined talents and qualities.
 There is the George Washington who first in war; first in peace and first III the hearts of ms countrymen' This quality of leadership stands for pat triOtc devotion to the cause of American liberty
 There is the Washington arist0cratlc colonial citizen The Washington as land owner, highly res pected and leader the Washington, citizen Ill try ing period capable and industrious the soldier Wash ington, brave and enduring; the statesman, sincere and diplomatic; the President an ideal of his time
 As time passes and the backward perspective be- comes keener, one such figure as Washington becomes inspiring There is little doubt but that the de- cades and go, Washington's part m history will become the subject of heroism and romance, probably the point of building around his activities something of the mythologica as believe has been done in the of the Creek Rome and other heroes of antiquity. Tradition Is full of romance.
 Fortunately Washngton's life IS sufficiently re- cent admit of little in its chroniclng It will be long time before the facts concerning his activi ties are swallowed UP n the glamour of tlcton The glorification of him is still attended by truth.
 Washington was great because he was possessed of the fine quality of modesty and humble as he was n attitude he able to rise to great occasions. Again the period made his greatness inevitable

HERALD LIST GROWS
AS MANY NEW SUB
SCRIBERS ARE ADDED

This week the Herald enjoyed
a good run of subscribers with
fourteen names added to our ever
growing list of paid readers.
Some of these parties did not carry
the ready cash with them but will
bring in coal, chickens, vegetables,
turkeys or butter which will be taken
the same as cash as long as the sup
ply does not become too great. Six of
these parties had joined the United
(Communist) Farmers League, but
they said they were American citiz-
ems and did not believe in subversive
methods, so in order to show the true
spirit of American citizenship they
joined our family of readers, so that
h~enceforth they will not have to bor-
row the paper from neighbors. One
new subscribers said he was tired of
waiting until three other families had
read the paper.

100000 TONS OF
COAL MINED, STATE
Sheridan County is 9th in Pro
duction in State; End in
Ignite

According to statistics released
by the u. S. Department of Com
merce, Montana's commercial
mines produced over three million
tons of coal in 1880. Most of this
coal was mined in Carbon, Cas-
cade, Mussellshell and Rosebud
counties.
Of the counties producing Ignite
coal, Richland leads with 31,947 tons,
and Sheridan follows with 2O,86l
tons. There were 43 men employed in
our coal mines last winter, and the
total value of the output was $4O,-
900.
Roosevelt county produced 6,198
tons, Daniels, Golden Valley and Nc
Cone counties produced 3,155 tons.
Sheridan county is very fortunate
in having such a large supply of coal.
1t is doubly valuable at this time
when thousands of families through
out Montana will have to depend up
on the counties for fuel throughout
the coming winter.

FATHER Is
TRANSFERRED TO A
GREAT l. PARISH

Father VIM. p. O'Rourke who
has served the Catholic Church in
Plentyw0od for more than eight
years, has been transferred to
Great Falls, where he will serve
his church in the future. He left
here last Monday.
The citizens Of this community all
sincerely regret having Father
ORourke go from our midst, but our
loss will be the gain of Great Falls.
During the many years he has been
here he has formed many lifelong
friendships. He is well liked by every
one who know him. The great
loss of all will be to his Pensioners
who have learned to love him for his
splendid work in the church. A friend
to all who knew him. Catholic or Pro-
testant, he will be missed by all Of
us.
A year ago he was called to Great
Falls and a petition was circulated in
Plentywood; signed by only non-Cath-
Ollie residents, asking that Bishop
of the Great Falls Diocese to allow
him to remain here. This petition was
signed by hundreds of Plentywood's
citizens.
We should not be selfish, at Father
O'Rourke can do wonders amongst
his charges in a larger city, and must
bid him God speed in his work at
Great Falls.

MOVEMENT Started
TO Open IRRIGATION
PROJECTS, MONTANA.
Federal Government Indicates
Action on Many Former
Projects

A movement has actively COM
menced in Montana to open all ir-
rigati0n projects that have been
designated as such by the feder-
al government. On the Milk river
a huge reservoir will be constitute
ted for storage of flood waters Of
the Milk river system. This has
the approval of Congressman
Leavitt who has wired Commits
sioner Mead at Washington, urg-
ing that such work be rushed as
much as possible, thereby giving
employment to many residents in
the vicinity of Malta.
1t is reported a number of Sheridan
county residents have requested tn
Congressman to have the irrigation
project west of Medicine Lake an,
north of Homestead opened up, whicl
would give work to scores Of peopl
in this county. There are many thou
sands of acres which could be irriga
ted, providing a sufficiently larg'
dam on the Muddy creek is construct
ed near Homestead.
1t is believed if this latter projec
is opened. the business of raising su
gar beets will be actively engaged il
by the owners of the land. There ar
many 40 ere Indian allotments in
cluded in this irrigation project. mos
OF which "a be patented-in-fee at an,
time now, and sold to people VIII

buying groceries for $40 families.

satisfied with the way this money is
expended but the local officers are
following instructions which cannot
be deviated from.
In view of this aid which is volun-

Cross, it will mean that many famil-
les will be able to remain here. or
would otherwise possibly have to seek
