WANT TO USE WATERS
OF YELLOWSTONE LAKE
FOR IRRIGATING LANE
LIVINGSTON. Mont. March 26 (by
Associated Press!.—In order to re
tain, for purposes of irrigating be
4tween 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 acres ol
land in southeastern Montana, water
ifk>m Yellowstone lake which now
finds its way eventually to the At
lantic ocean by way of the Mississip
pi river and the Gulf of Mexico
Montana residents are engaged in at
effort to prevent its diversion througt
(he continental divide to the Pacific
An attempt to divert the waters oi
Yellowstone lake to the Snake river,
taking them through the divide whieli
determines the flow on the great
watershed iti the Yellowstone nation
al park, was planned by Idaho inter
ests after engineers had conceived a
daring project to tunnel the divide
and carry the Yellowstone water
front its S,000 feet elevation into Sho
shone lake for irrigation purposes,
and then permit it to follow the natur
al course through the Snake river and
the Columbia to the Pacific.
* Montana residents now are organ
ising a gigantic irrigation project
which would place water on millions
df^fccres in the 500-mile valley of the
Yellowstone river and control the de
structive spring floods of the area as
well.
Headquarters for the Montana pro
jects have been established at this
city, where the Yellowstone river
conies out of the mountains and en
ters the great plain which would be
irrigated by the stored water. Arti
cles of incorporation have been filed
and the directors have started a cam
paign to raise $50,000 for preliminary
work required before the construc
tion of a dam at the point where the
Yellowstone river leaves the lake
can be undertaken.
Besides constructing a dam at an
expenditure of about $200,000. to
store a million acre-feet of flood
waters, the corporation plans to ap
portion tho water in the Yellowstone
river, organize irrigation districts
and construct canals which will irri
gate between ♦1,000,000 and 2,000,000
acres of land in ten Montana counties.

No Equal Suffrage Movement in France
After the American Fashion.
By MME. CLEMENCEAU-JACQUEMAIRE, in New York Times.
So far as 1 have been able to observe, there is no equal suffrage
movement in France in the sense that you in America regard a movement.
From earliest times the women in France have always held a high position
in the community. They have taken an active part in business projects,
and the professions have always been open to them. They have been
prominent in literature, science, and art. Indirectly they have exerted
. great influence on the political life of the country. Consequently there
has been no pronounced movement for equal rights in France such as lias
been started elsewhere.
The women of France are not anxious to vote or to be elected to
office. Therefore 1 am not of the opinion that suffrage will gain lu'adway
in my country. Nevertheless 1 am watching with great interest the
progress of the women of other countries. We admire your progressive
ness and are interested in the experiment of sending women to congress,
of giving them seats on the bench. This is, of course, in line with your
advancement and liberal ideas. Hut our own traditions, our social and
racial conditions, are very different.
1 find no cuis,' for anxioiv regarding the competition of the sexes in
business. \\ omen who had taken men’s jobs on the outbreak of the war
are glndlv relinquishing them, and peace adjustment is coming without
hit le rness.
Was it not F.llen Kev who avowed that oven if the suffragist was striv
ing to be free she was making a mistake if she thought the vote would free
^ her from the limitation of nature: Women cannot pass beyond those
i limits without interfering with the rights of nature and the potential
child. Woman, of course, has a right to avoid marriage, and to allow her
self to be turned into a third so\, provided she finds in this her greatest
happiness. But when all is told, motherhood is the central factor of
existence for most women.
JUST GOOD AND TRUE
-♦ .
A reader of the Daily Times for
wards for publication the following
poem, which was written by Ula M,
Thompson and read at a meeting of
Women’s Pioneer \uxiliary Igloo No.
1, Iasi January. He regards it as an
“answer to the misinformation which
some Alaskans seem delighted to ped
dle on the Outside”:
Other Woman in Alaska
l p here in Alaska, beyond fifty-three,
\\ here McKinley stands guard o’er
land and sea.
Men. women and dogs from every
clime
Have been blazoned in story and sung
in rhyme.
There’s the man who scrabbles and
slaves for gold.
Who blazes the trails and braves the
cold;
There’s his malamute dog and gee-pole
sled
That* enliven the stories and books
you’ve read.
There’s the vampire woman of red
renown,
^ ho comes to Alaska to drag men
down.
Featured in movies—a Northern
queen,
I Funded in books, flashed on the screen,
j Alaska’s been called the back door to
hell
For that’s all the life the writers tell.!
1 No scribblers have told the story to
you
i Of that other woman—just good and
true.
She doesn’t come here because “It’s
the life!’’
She is sister and mother and loving
wife,
She is comrade and. pal and partner,
too;
Fortune or loss, she sees it through.
She never adorns the lines of a book,
She just looks like mothers and sisters
look.
She stays just to make a home for
you—
This other woman, just good and true.
Well, it takes all kinds, the sober, the
Kay,
But 1 know and think and I’m here to
say
That Alaska, without HER, would be
mighty blue— *
This other woman—just good and true.
