The country in which they grew up
is rich in the grandeur o f scenery, with
n wealth o f tradition and historical in­
cident. The valleys and hilla abound
iu retreats, each with it* own myth and
story. Wonderful waterfalls ami lakes
are to be found everywhere, adding
chsrm nnd mystery to the one-time
haunts o f prTmitive man. Now the In
dinns are passing and tho footprints of
his outward path are being obliterated
by the vineyard, the orchard and the
field o f grain. Thus the ambition of
the white man is gradually encroaching
upon the Indian lands, anil a peaceable
coercion is being used to induce him
to retreat farther back.

is asked again to make way for the
white man in return for the bribe of a
small patch o f land that is already his
own. For though the Flathead Indian
is still a part of the Flathead reserva­
tion, he is not the Indian of old. The
younger generation eare little for the
encroachment* of civilization, but those
of the obi days who are still alive view
with regret the passing of the days of
their youth. As time goes on the young
men offer less resistance to the white
man's ways and even welcome his
teachings.
The Flathead irrigation project is
one of the many efforts o f Uncle Sam
to bring the rose out of the hungry
soil. It contemplates the irrigation of
1.12,000 acres in the Jocko, Mission, Lit­
tle Bitter Root and Camas valleys on
the west side of Flathead Lake. Of
this amount 16,000 acres o f the Jocko
valley will be watered by means of a
River and Sullivan Creek, and in the
sonthw-est part o f the reservation the
flow o f Camas and Cottonwood creeks
will supply 5000 acre*.
The soil of the Flathead reservation
is clay, forest loam and gravelly loam,
and responds quickly to the application
o f water. Thu rainfall in this district
is often ample for the production of
most forms of vegetation, and the de­
mands on canals and reservoirs will be
inconsiderable in those seasons. Where
irrigation has been applied, however,
the results have surpassed even the
hopes o f the most sanguine. The val­
leys have been coming to the front
steadily during the past few years in
the variety and quality of their agri
cultural products. Complete . and in­
tensive development is only awaiting
the completion o f the system o f canals

Shaw, a prominent railroad agricultur­
ist, emphasized the value of dairying
and stock raising on irrigated lands in
a recent address before the Oregon
Irrigation Congress. While his remarks
are applied to Oregon in particular,
they cover the subject in its applica­
tion to every irrigated district in the
West, for the general principle prevails
that where water is brought on to land
its best returns may lie realized from
an intensive application of the profit
arising therefrom.
Professor Shaw
says in part:
“ In no line o f production can irri­
gation render a better return than in
furnishing food that will be turned into
milk aud other dairy products, meat
nnd wool. For the growing of these
products the door o f development
stands open. In no line of agricultural
production is the chance to make good
money better or even as good.

tics published by the United States De­
partment of Agriculture make this
claim absolutely certain.
“ On the irrigated lands the oppor­
tunities for growing swine are superla­
tively good. This is more especially
true when the swine are grown in
connection with dairying. It follows
from the abundance of food that can
be grown which is exactly adapted to
the needs of the swine. No pasture
has ever been produced that will meet
their needs iu better form than alfalfa
or that will produce so much food per
acre, and where can alfalfa be grown
better than on the irrigated lands of
Oregon f It follows from the further
facts that the grain thnt produces the
pork o f the highest quality, such as
barley ami field |>eas, may lie grown in
the first form on these lands. The cli­
mate also favors sneh production. Its
equable ami mild character favors the
production of two litters per year from
the same dam should this be desired.
In sreas with cold winters it is scarce­
ly practicable to grow profitably two
litters in one season.

the producer more than three cents per

acter o f the climate. Why should not

ha^ve special adaptation for the produc­
tion at low cost of dairy products,
whether milk, butter, cheese or the by­
products of the dairy, as skim milk and
buttermilk.
“ Goqd water, so essential in dairy
husbandry, is abundant in all sections
where irrigation is practicable in Ore­
gon. This follows from the fact that
the water comes from living streams
that in nearly all instances are cradled
in the mountains. The relation be­
tween pure water, abundant in sup
ply, and high quality in the dairy
product is so close as to be inseparable.
‘ ‘ The Oregon dairyman has a great
advantage over dairymen, for instance,
who live in climates that are less
equable. He is not handicapped by
such heat in summer that comes to
the South nor hy the cold in the win
ter that comes to the North east of
the Rocky Mountains. To the Oregon
dairyman the equable climate brings
much advantage. It enables him to
prolong the grazing season and it calls
for less expensive shelter. Some per
sons cherish the view that the man liv­
ing on irrigated lands, whose holding
ia usually limited, has not room on
which to graze his cattle, but they fail
to consider thnt the production of irri­
gated lands in pasture is quite as large,
relatively, aa the production o f the
same in hay.
“ With the price for dairy products
as they are and as has been shown, it
is not probable that they will be loss
in the near future. The dairyman on
irrigated land should reap a very
profitable return. With such possibili­
ties within reach of the Oregon dairy­
man it will be greatly to the discredit
of Oregon farmers if the state con­
tinues for any considerable period to
be a purchaser of dairy product».”
