ended by saying that in his opinion
neither party could make the grass
grow or sun to shine, that business had
been depressed for the past year or So,
and that he looked for ai improvement
in the near future, but for the depres-

accomplishment" He was repeatedly

HOPES DEFERRED.

Congress has adjourned without doing
anything with the bill granting right
Of way for the Clarke's Fork & (innabar
Railroad. Senator Sawyer endeavored
TO call it up for action on July 9Th, but
Senator Vest objected. Senator Sawyer
endeavored to have il called up not
withdrawing, but on motion Of Senator
Sherman. the Senate went into the ex-
ecntive session. It was attempted again
by Senator Sawyer on the 7th, inst, and
again objected to by Vest. We cannot
but regret the action Of the Senate, as it
virtually delays the opening and develop
ment Of thai country another year. We
hope in the meantime that the friends
Of the bill will not be idle, but will take
every Cpl ortunity to prove to Senators
and Representatives that it is neces-
sity. and that it cannot result in any in
jury whatever to the Park.

DeysMAt N WEsY GAtLAfIN CANAl


A new scheme Is ON foot to complete
this much needed enterprise. To all
thinking men, both in city and country,
the water question is Of absorbing inter-
EFT, and one which must be satisfactorily
accomplished to make farming success
full and insure the prosperity of Boze-
man. Upon the agricultural interest we
shall depend in great measure, no
matter how many other industries may
spring up, and therefore to have an
abundant supply to answer the require
ments Of farmers, it needs united action
and an outlay of capital to utilize the
resources which nature has given us.
The scheme proposed is only an adj
vance step, which carried out, will ulti-
matelv result in the completion Of the
canal, as at first contemplated, and it will
be seen that it will only take united effort
to accomplish that result. The scheme
is to canvass the county and have each
farmer subscribe his name to go much
work, to be completed by June LIST, 1885
as far as Middle Creek. It is calculated
that about three shares to each fifty
farmers and subscription Of about $lO,-
600 by the Bozeman citizens, will COM
plete the work to Middle Creek to be
built of full size to Cotton wood and half
size to Middle Creek. Unless there are
enough shares taken to carry it through,
no steps will be taken, and all those in
terested will meet at Spieth & Krug's
Hall on Saturday, July 10Th. All paid up
shares will be worcestershire. Cash
subscriptions will be paid in assessments
of ten or twenty per cent. Those work.
ing out shares, will receive the same on
the completion of their contracts. The
amount allowed will be rock work 80, and
dirt Is cents per yard. There will be a
meeting of all farmers and citizens inter-
ested in the completion of the canal, on
Saturday, July 10Th, at Spieth 4 Krug's
Hall, and it is to be hoped that there will
be large attendance. 1t seems to be
waste of words to urge the importance of
it. The coat is nowhere commensurate
to the advantages, in fact it must be done
if we hope for permanent prosperity.
One thing is certain, that not only must
this canal he completed but the water
in all the small streams be hnsbanded
during the season when it is plenty, by
system Of reservoirs, or else, alarge part
of Gallatin Valley cannot he utilized for
farming or even grass growing. Pull to-
gether in this matter, and by long pull,
. strong pull and pull all together, the
thing is done.

Hon. Samuel Word, our delegate to

Credentials, in favor o. admitting Terri

81 have been citizen of Montana twen-
ty-one years, and with the exception of
one election we have elected every dele
gate to Congress since 1854. we have
made the Territory Democratic and kept
it SO in spite of administrative patronage.
Why. my place Butte, is the finest min
ing camp in the country, if not in the
world, shipping sixty or seventy carloads
of silver, copper ore, and other minerals
every day; besides, we have glorious
climate, fine grazing and cropping lands,
and territorial extent equal to nearly
the whole of the New England States.
Why shouldn't we haye rights in q Dem
ocratic convention other than those of
mere spectators? We are in earnest in
this business, and Our delegates intend TO
have the convention know how our
people feel about this matter"

Grover Cleveland has just been nomin-
ated amidst tremendous enthusiasm.
Hauser and Word cast the first vote ever
given by Montana in q Democratic Ma
tional Convention, and for the first Dem
ocratic President since Buchanan. Our
Delegates have done nobly and they
have secured plank in the platform re-
quiring Territorial appointments to be
made from citizens Of the Territory, and
they deserve . rousing tribute from our
people ON their return. Hauser was
chairman Of the whole Territorial dele
CATION and proved himself as able in po-

the contested election case of Botkin vs.

this was only partizan vote or that he
secured his seat on q majority report

perhaps the contest had some merit in
