A FRONT PAGE STORY FOR
MONTANANS.
(Great Falls Tribune)

On the front page of the West
ern News at Libby recently we
noted a leading story with a top
column head that summarized in
formation contained in the annual
New Year edition of the New York
Sun on the outlook for the building
industry in 1910.
That New York review was not
concerned with any Montana topic
directly. It was metropolitan re-
view of national industry. But
the construction industry builds
thousands of homes for people in
all parts of the country, and the
major material in home building is
still wood. The demand for homes
means demand for lumber and
the products of the saw mills in the
forest areas.
/ And SO when in far off cities, it is
reported that there will be more
building in 1910 of dwellings for
city families, that means better
times in the numbering sections, and
for the people in Libby, Mont,
whose main industry is the making
of lumber from the nearby forest,
that news story from the great CEN
ter of American business is also
front page news to them.
Lumber from Libby probably new
er reaches the city of New York
but it is an example of how closely
knit together after all are the COM
munities, great and small, of the
broad expanse of the union. One
speaker in a recent commercial
meeting declared himself to be
believer in localism He was de-
ploring the loss of regional eco
nomic independence and there is
some truth in his argument for
decentralization of. our business
system. The raw material states
should have more industries within
their borders to process their
products
But there is danger in the atti-
tude of localism which has been
manifested in recent years in the
adoption of various regulations to
check the flow of goods between
states. Our American economy is
SO closely connected by innumerable
ties that the prosperity of one sec
ton benefits the well being of all
others and depression in one region
has its adverse effects upon the 9TH
ers Our economic life is bound
up together in a. great whole and
it is impossible to isolate our states
into self-sufficient units.
When farmers on the Montana
prairies receive good income, men
are put to work in eastern cities
and when Detroit workers get good
pay Montana can sell good steers
at better price in the nearby
stockyards.

Waterspouts at sea occur when OPP

lures meet in the upper atmosphere,
whereby greater amount of vapor

given. A partial vacuum is Great

the water in its vortex. When the
waterspout has played itself out, it
