MAJOR MAGINNIS.

Both parties seem to be a little sat sea"
regarding the delegate nominations
Neither the democrats nor the republic
cans have any we'll defined ideas as to the
candidates and if the conventions were
held today it would be very hard to guess
the result in either case. In the face Of
repeated defeats in tile past, the republic
can aspirants sfe naturally not over san
guine and no particular effort seems to be
made by any one of them to carry off the
prize. The refusal Of Delegate Toole to
make the race again has left the demo
Gratis in state of uncertainty as to what
should be done, although they are not
without good congressional timber This
state of dubiousness prompts the Tribune
to come forward with suggestion.
This is just the time that Montana
needs her strongest man in congress. The
date of our admission to the union will
depend to some extent on the efforts of
the delegate, and, for that reason alone,
we should have an able and influential
representative. Therefore we would sug-
gest that the democratic convention,
which convenes at Butte on the 10th
prox., nominate Major Maginnis unani-
mously, this to be followed by the en-
dorsement Of the republican convention
which assemblies at Helena at later date
It is likely that party feeling would not
permit the carrying out of the latter por-
ton OF the programme, but if Major Ma
ginnis should be before the people in the
November contest he would receive a
handsome endorsement at the polls. As
Delegate Toole, who has done such good
service for the territory, insists upon re-
firing, Montana should command the ser
vices OF her distinguished citizen, Martin
Maginnis. His experience, influence and
ability are needed in the house the ensu-
ing term.

A SPLENDID COUNTRY.

Colonel Broadwater, who returned yes
terday from Reconnaissance of the region
between Great Falls and the Belt noun
tains, is quite enthusiastic over the coun-
try he saw on the trip, In substance he
said to Tribune Representative: II be-
lieve the country between here and the
Belt mourlal....s., "a5 from -Oasuuut
alouuu to the head of Otter creek, to be
as fine and fertile region as can be
found in the Northwest. 1t Is an empire
in extent and some of these days will
sustain o large population. If were in
quest Of ranch now, for either farming,
dairying or stock growing, l would go
straight to the foothills of the Belt noun
tains to locate it. Why, never saw finer
grass and everywhere It is apparent that
the soil is deep and strong. I tell you
1t is a regular garden spot" This is the
opinion Of all who have traversed the
region referred to and it is pretty certain
that the northern and northeastern slope
OF the Little Belt mountains will receive
goodly share Of the incoming tide of
immigration. The building of the Belt
mountains branch will promote its settle
ment, adding to the traffic of that road
and to the business and prosperity of the
Cataract CITY.

WATER WORKS.

There should be large attendance at
the public meeting that is to be held this
evening in Central block to take action
regarding = bountiful supply Of pure wa
ter for this city. The growth of the city
renders this the question of the hour. The
broad Missouri is at our doors. All that
is needed is means to distribute that pure
water throughout the city so that every
household may have abundance. In win
ter, as well as summer, there will then be
plenty of water for every purpose. This
abundant supply will reduce the rate Of
insurance, enhance the value of real es-
tate, maintain the health of the city and
promote the comfort of the people.
While other cities are content to 90 to
great expense to procure this priceless
boon, we have the greatest water supply
in the world at hand. Let us, then, put
our shoulders to the wheel and see how
readily the work can be done.

WATER WORKs.

The assurance gwen by Mr.. Paris Glib,
son that Great Falls is to have thorough
system OF water works, to be built imme.
diately, has been very favorably received
by our citizens. This is public i'm
provement that Is badly needed and the
sooner the works are put in the better
We need water for fire protection and fol-
general domestic use. The tact that it is
somewhat difficult to secure wells in por.
tions Of the city renders this need all the
greater, and the Tribune hopes to see the
nGW enterprise proceed without DAYS
delay.
A meeting Of a few of our citizens was
held last evening to consider the project,
when it was decided with unanimous
voice that the works must be put in and
completed this fall 1t was also the
sense of the meeting that this
should be done by local company in
stead of inviting outsiders to undertake
the work. To that end company will
be organized at once and the books will
be open to all who desire to take stock.
It will doubtless be popular movement
as waterworks interests are always eager
ly sought In a growing city like Great
Falls they are sure to appreciate rapidly
in value. The plan for carrying out the
good work has been fully decided upon
by those who are interesting themselves in
the matter.
Plans and specifications have already
been prepared by Messrs. Goss 6 King of
this city. The Holly or direct pressure
system will be employed. The pump
house will be located at the foot of
Fourth avenue South and ten or twelve
inch main will extend from that point
east to Fourth street and north to First
avenue North; also south to probably
Seventh avenue South. From these mains
extensions will be made and laterals put
in, so as to thoroughly supply the city.
The estimated cost is from $4,000 to
$s5, 900 and it is proposed that the works
shall be tirst-class in every particular
The importance of this enterprise to
he city is fully appreciated and the In
crest taken in it by our leading citizens

IS contemplated. We hope to see work

1t would be great help to the efforts of
agricultural department in investigat-
ing the diseases of our cultivated crops
and native economic plants if the farmers
would send specimens Of all kinds of
slclSly or diseased plants to T, W. Ander
son, of this place. They should send
full particulars of the appearance Of the
growing plants with the specimens. Seeds
OF our native grasses are also wanted IN
quantity and full credit will be given to
farmers and others sending in such seed.
Each kind should be kept separate and a
few Of the tops put into the paper or sack
with the seeds for the purpose of identi-
ficatlon. Mr.. Anderson will be glad to
answer any questions and identity any
specimens sent by mail or otherwise. Let
our farmers help forward this useful
work by taking active interest in it.

While the interesting fact has not yet
been officially promulgated from Boston,
the Tribune is able to announe, on very
good authority, that the immense copper
smelter Of the Boston Consolidated COM
pany will be located ut Great Falls and
that work on the same will begin soon
and on an immense scale. This will be q
bigger smelter than the Anaconda and its
location here will add 5000 to the popu-
lation of Great Falls within a twelve
month. We expect to have great deal
more to say on this subject soon. "

AS the democratic primaries will be
held on Saturday this ought to be busy
week among the politicians. There seems
10 be a general disposition to abide by the
decision of the convention. This should
make candidates and the public regard
the choice Of delegates as grave matter.
1t is hard by boiling or scratching to un-
do the work of the convention. 1t is al
ways better to select good delegates at an
orderly primary election and then have
these delegates, in turn, name good can
didates. In that way the public interests
are served and there is no recrimination
or bitterness. -. ------- -.-

It appears that the wheat receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth for the year to
August were 65,OOO,0O0, while Chicago
received only 2s,5OO,OOO bushels for the
same period. These figures make known
the complete change which has taken
place in the wheat belt and the marvel
GUS growth of Minnesota and Dakota
which have produced nearly all Of the

Montana come to the front soon as a great

1T is well to discuss the matter, because
the war department will be expected to
report on the subject and may be moved
to do so by public agitation. Before en-
tering on any movement to abolish the
reservation entirely it would be better for
aiiconcerned to unite in asking that the
reservation be reduced say to 1880 acres
which would be ample for all ordinary
purposes and would ensure an abundance
OF hay for the horses at the post,
There are good precedents for reduc-
ing this reservation. The Fort Snell;no
reservation, for instance, at one time in,
cluded large part of Minneapolis. The
government first reduced it and suhse-
quently disposed OF 1T entirely to Franklin
Steele.but the war department afterward
reacquired the small tract, which is found
sufficient for one of the best posts in tho
country.

No town in Montana probably is in
greater need of waterworks than this.
For the most part water for domestic
purposes is hauled in carts from the river
and the cost is considerable. A great
saving in this particular will be effected
when the works are completed. The rate
at Helena for supplying private houses of
four rooms is 81 cents month; for hous-
es of more than four rooms, 81; for each
private bath tub, 33 cents, for each basin,
Is cents; for irrigating lawns. 81 month
during the summer. Without taking the
decided convenience and other considera-
tons into the count, it will be seen by
these figures that the completion of the
watprworks will effect large saving to
our people, who now pay rs cents bar
rel for water.

The people have read with much salts
faction the statement of Col. Broadwater
regarding the Belt Mountains railroad.
They have also been gratified at the good
news that MI. Paris Gibson has given
about the water works and other i'm

know that all such promises have been
kept to the letter in the past. They are
correspondingly elated at the bright pros

Belt mountains, supplied with water by
the Missouri and lighted by electricity,
