TODAY Yellowstone, the Oldest and
the largest Of all the national
parks, is known the world over for its
fantastic phenomena Of nature.
The park has an area Of over S,400
square miles, extending into wyoming,
Idaho and Montana. Here roam herds
Of buffalo, antelope, elk and deer. And
no other attraction advertises itself
quite so thoroughly as do its famous
bears. Within this huge area are more
geyserS than in all the rest Of the
world together; 100 Of them, large and
small. Old Faithful, sometimes called
natures timepiece because Of its reg
ularity In playing, Is undoubtedly the
best known Of all.
Here also are more than 1000 hot
springs, mud volcanoes, paint pots"
and colorful, incrusted bubbling pools.
The hot springs occur IN a variety Of
forms. In many instances the lime
laden water forms great terraces, beau
tifully sculptured and delicately tinted.

Benefits of Taxing the Absentee.
Landlords.

With revenue Of 25 million dollars a
year from our absentee landlords. farm
ers and workingmen's taxes could be
lowered, old age pensions paid, not just
"resoluted." The state capitol bonds
have drawn interest for about thirty
five years then every idle man in the
state, who wanted work, could be given
a job, city and county and school bonds
could be refunded at 2 per cent inter-
est, many small irrigation dams could
be built, and finally the greedy land
lords themselves would find out that
prosperity Of the masses means solv-
ency for themselves.
Producers Unite.
There is no conflict Of interest be-
tween farmers and laboring men or
either of these and a moderate number
OF men in the professions. The conflict
is between Montana people and the alb
sentee landlords, and their local sa-
trips. It is irrepressible. It is no easy
fight. They have been planning for 30
years to hold this state in bondage.
The prime duty Of compensating for
s~ilicosis victims is of course on the min
ing industry. But, if the absentee
landlords were taxed justly, the state
could compensate this oocupational dis
ease and not notice the moun in the
budget. An income tax from the Ana
conda half as large as Kelley's salary
would support in some fashion every

Storage Projects On
North Fork OF
The Smith River

The contract for the construction of
the North Fork Of Smith River Stor-
age project in Meagher county awarded
ply the Water Conservation Board
Wednesday to J.. l.. Mclaughlin Of
Great Falls calls for an expenditure Of
$2O3,l 40 for construction costs. The
engineers estimates for this were
S223, 037 and total cost of the prof.
ect 100000 White Sulphur Springs is
the closest own to this project. 1t is
estimated this project will furnish the
water to irrigate 10000 acres that re-
quire supplemental water. This land is
located along both sides of the Smith
River. This area is among the oldest
settlements in Montana. 1t is pri-
marily a cattle and sheep country,
which in turn offers a ready market
for hay and feed. Grain of various
kinds and alfalfa, clover, timonthy and
wild hay are the predominating crops.
The source of water supply will come
from the North Fork Of the Smith
River and its tributaries. The reser-
voir will impound the excess run-off,
over and above the present use, for de-
livery later in the summer when the
normal flow is at a minimum.
The head waters, rising to the north,
originate at a high elevation in the Lit
tie Belt mountains. The area is we'll
timbered and considered a good snow
belt.
The dam will be located across a
narrow gap just below the confluence
OF the North Fork and Eight Mile
Creek. These narrows were caused by
a tongue Of basalt which flowed down
the valley from an old extinct vol
canic cone.
The type Of dam proposed is earth
fill with a clay cutoff wall. The dam
will have a maximum height of 90
feet, a crest width of 20 feet and will
be 1000 feet long.
The reservoir site consists of a
basin lying a long and between the
North Fork and Eight Mile Creek
flanked on either side by abrupt steep
slopes. The maximum storage capac-
ity will be 1900 acre feet.
The dam site is about eight miles
northeast Of White Sulphur Springs.
The dam and reservoir lie in a mar
row depression between the Castle
Mountains on the south and the Little
Belt Mountains on the north.

Stanley Baldwin, about to become Premier OF
Great Britain, says that close collaboration between
the British Empire and the United States would be
the greatest security against war" because "the COM
bined power of their navies. the potential manpower
and the immediate economic poverty refusal to
trade or lend money-would be a sanction that no
power on earth, however strong, would dare face"
Mr.. Baldwin admitted that he was dreaming, that
his dream might never come to pass but that some
day and sometime those who follow us may see to 1t
that the peace of the world is guaranteed by those
who speak our tongue"
There Is a lot of food for thought In his words.
While the proposal of an alliance is not outright the
idea is there. This country would not enter any such
an affair to cover the entire world at this time but
why should not the two nations try to get together on
the problems Of the Pacific?
Japan is generally regarded as a threat to peace
in the Far East and as a chlenger to the rights OF the
rest of the world in that area. If the United States and
Great Britain formulated and publicly announced pr1n-
ciples that they stood ready to defend in the Far East
it is very probable that peace in that section OF the
world would be assured for years to come. Even
Japan could not hope to successfully polish Off the
combination.

With all the evidence OF the past few years to give
them warning We read in the newspapers that thous-
ands of people in New England have been mulcted in
another securities bubble that blew up, leaving esti-
mated assets of about 100000 and s21, 900, 900 liabili-

1t would seem that people who have experienced
the losses that the American public suffered through
stock speculation would have sense enough to be
wary of such ventures. However, the hope is useless.
Even before the 1929 crash there were voices in the
land warning people not to speculate in stocks and
those voices were giving advice based on past exper-
fence. The gullible gentry had some money in those
days and an idea that a million dollars could be OBJ
tanned without doing any work If one followed the
market and traded right, (which was just the two
things that were necessary for them to be led to the

Bows And Men

a fire was setoff to simulate actual danger and secure

How many men and women, at various stages of

often, we light the blaze, and because Of our ignorance
and carelessness, let the fire devour something that
is dear to all Of us, but without the innocence OF
children!

Priced Baby Shoes

Among the treasures In the Canadian archives
at Ottawa is a pair of baby shoes once worn by James
Wolfe. Most American school children have read In
their histories the story told of how General Wolfe
recited Gray's "Elegy in a Country Churchyard" the
night before the battle OF Quebec and said that he
had rather have been the author of the poem than
have "the glory Of beating the French tomorrow"
He did beat the French on the morrow on the
Plains of Abraham at Quebec, which victory wrested
Canada from the French, but Wolfe died on the field
after being thrice wounded. The opposing French COM
mander Montcalm, was also mortally wounded In the
battle, which occurred September 10, 1859. In 1908 the
battlefield was made a Canadian national park.
Wolfe was one of the most skinful and daring
commanders who ever wore the British uniform. He
was a commissioned officer at the age OF IA, became a
captain at II and a major shortly after. He was a brig
adler general when he yielded up his life for England
at the age Of 81, after executing one Of the most dar-
ing exploits in military annals.
The story OF that exploit is too long to relate here,
but IL our readers will look 1t UP they will understand
why that pair of baby shoes ds so highly priced and
treasured by the Dominion authorities in Ottawa.

Pioneer Days
BY Stella M. Hunter

Just take me back to the dear old
days
In the good old long ago,
When the horses and oxen reigned
supreme,
When twas time to plow and SOW.
The good man one day said to me-,
Twas a day In early spring,
I'm tired Of all this drudge and toll,
A new job I'm goin' to swing.
I'm tired of workin' for other folks,
Who are reaping all the pay.
| So on this blamed old sandy soil,
I'll be 'darned II III longer stay.
So the kiddies and me, there were
three Of them,
Agreed to be left there alone,
While he started out to find a place,
That to us, would be home sweet
home.
He started pedaling a half worn out
wheel,
For that way 'twould be cheaper,
you see,
For old Jim HILL with his railroads,
Didn't give many tickets free.
He headed for North Dakota,
But found little vacant land,
He gazed at the rocks and sand
banks,
Then turning said, "I1l be damned"
I'll go till / find something better,
II it takes my very last buck.
So he mounted his wheel and onward
he rode,
Till Culbertson town he struck.
A man by the name of BiglOw,
Was one of the first he met,
Who told him, that about forty miles
north,
Lay the best land that he'd seen yet.
They hired a team and bought
lumber,
And started on the long trek,
They reached their destination,
And it did look good, by heck!
And then for a few short hours,
You could hear those hammers ring.
They were ringing the glory,
OF our first year on bread and beans.
Now folks we sure were happy,
AS we toiled from day to day,
And lived in our eight by ten
shanties,
With new folks drifting in each day.
We struggled each day from morn
till night,
With rboulders. some weighing a ton.
But our motto was work and be
cheerful"
And smile when the days work was
done.
Years passed by as onward we
struggled,
Preparing our land for a crop,
In the poor years prices went soaring
In the good years they took a big
drop.
There came a day when things were
booming.
Prosperity knocked at our door,
1t seemed as II the day would soon
come,
When we'd not have to work any
more.
Then depression swooped down upon
us.
Our hopes were all laid in the dust,
Once again h~ardships doomed up
before us,
Leaving thousands with barely a.
crust.
SO Wen just have to take up our
burden,
And 20 trldging ON with our load.
With a hope that some day twill be
lighter.
When we come to the end OF the
road. |
