THE HUMBoLnT wATER
RIGH HTS.

Commenting on the fact that
ranchers on the lower Humboldt,
who are deprived of the means oil
irnpaIiIp their crops because of thu
many dams in the river in Eiko
county, the Independent, while
concrding that there are many
dams IN Elko county, says 1T is the
opinion OF these who are convers-
ant with th- volume and capacity
OF the s,ream, that if every dam in
Elko county were torn out, the
water would not be sufficient to
reach the lower part of Humboldt
county. 1t contends, II that be
true, that it would be folly to de-
prive the people Of Elko county OF
the means cf irrigating their
meadows, when those on the
lower Humboldt ~ou.d ,rcure no
benefit whatever from the water
set free in the channel OF the
stream.
The opinion Of Elko people. who
are benefited by diverting the
waters of the Humboldt FROM their
natural channel, will hardly be
acrepted as proof positive that If
those waters were permitted to
flow free and uninterrupted they
would not reach the lower Hum
boldt. Twice, at least, since the
settlement OF the country hv the
whites has the volume OF water in
the upper Humboldt been as low
as it was this season, but never
before did 40 fail to reach the sink
or lake. and it is simply absurd to
assume that it would not do so
this year if the immense dams |
from Battle Mountain, East were
out OF the way. No person capa-
BILE of reasoning, whose sense OF
justice has not heen destroyed or
blnnted by selfishness, can Gefend |
the policy which would deprive the
ranchers of the lower Humboldt,
who were the first settlers, and F.
have the oldest rights on the river.
Of reasonable share of water,
because later claimants move them

Can't Afford to Hesitate.

New North West: 1t is very unfor-
tunate that Helena, otherwise possessing
so many advantages, should suffer from q
scarcity of water. The works first put in
were adequate to supply a population not
exceeding that which the Capital had q
decade since. But the increase has been
rapid beyond expectation, and while other
companies have essayed to furnish the
water required, the supply has for the past
few weeks been much below what it should
have been. Helena is 80 situated that it
will cost q very large sum of money to-
bring in water from the Missouri or any
other available source, by either gravi-
tation or by the projected pumping
system. Tne work so far done
toward securing an artesian supply
has been lamentable failure. Great as the
outlay will be, the people of Helena may as
we'll first as last submit to the inevitable
and make the required expenditure. A
city which has assumed the proportions of
Montanas metropolis, and is still growing,
cannot afford to hesitate in matter of so
grave importance and which at present so
fOrcibly presents itself.

Person or Thing, Which?

To the Editor:-In the papers have ap-
peared Judge Blake's decision in the case
of King & Nuss vs. Mrs. Malloy. 1t GER
tainly is novel idea that woman is not
a person" She certainly is a person"
when she has to take part in the battle of
life and earn living, not only for herself,
but oftentimes for father, mother, sister
and brother. Why not let woman exer-
else the talents and gifts God has given
her. be it as q lawyer, doctor or special
constable There is Mrs. Miller in the
East acting as pilot of boat, and q
most efficient one too. It is remarkable
fact that woman is not allowed to earn
her living in her own way, but yet she has
to pay full taxes just like q man or "per-
son." and the worthy Judge Of Montana
does not hesitate to accept full compensa-
ton for services done. from q woman, and
yet these same women must confine them
selves to certain modes Of livelihood, and
not dare venture into broader fields of
mans domain. 1t is very much like q
greedy little boy who won't give his sister
session 70 long he resents the appearance of
sister claimants. Many contend that
woman's sphere is in her own home, look
ing after the comfort of her liege lord,
bringing up her children, cooking his
meals, etc, and while I acknowledge the
great importance of a we'll ordered house
hold, there are thousands of women who
have no liege lords, or households, and
have to provide for invalid parents and
maintain other peoples households. To
me it is q noble sight to see women taking
up the burden of life and bravely battling
for their own support, and when men try to
handicap them instead of reaching out
helping hand, it certainly looks cowardly.
Give woman fair play. In any vocation, if
che is capable she will succeed; if not, she
certainly cannot make worse failures than
some men. A WOMAN.

Ex-Governor Hauser Says the Lead
Ruling Must Go.

Ex Governor Hauser returned from the
East yesterday and was tackled" by a
HERALD reporter to-day for an interview.
Mr.. Hauser said he had not much to COM
municate in the way of railway news that
was not already known in Helena.
He said he visited Washington at the
time that Delegate Carter made his speech
before Secretary Window on the question
of the fraudulent Importation of Mexi-
can lead ores. He thinks the American
lead producers made a splendid showing at
the hearing and is of the opinion that the
Secretary will reverse the old ruling here
tOfore held in that regard. at may be
some weeks before it is done," said Mr..
Hauser, shut don't care for a short delay
if it is done eventually. I want to see
that ruling reversed and am pretty we'll
satisfied it will be-"
At the time of the reporters visit the ex-
Governor was engaged in reading an accu-
mutation of mail, some of which were let
tiers from Democratic and Republican sem
ators and congressman, announcing their
intention of visiting Montana during the
coming campaign. THAT'S all right" said
he as he laid down a letter from Senator
Plumb, well treat them all right, if they
come here but 1T seems to me Montana
politicians are pretty well able to take care
of themselves. However, let them come
and see the fun. It's going to be red-hOt
and one of the fercest political
battles of the age. am glad to see that
such an interest is taken in it. It's good
thing for Montana"
Mr.. Hauser has pretty we'll dispatched
the busines that called him East, and will
not leave Helena again until next fall or
winter.
