The admission bill provides that
I hese lands shall not lie sold ut less
than $40 per acre. This high price
set on the lands would be "A barrier
against their disposal in very large

A NEW GOVERNOR.

Last week Preston II. Leslie surren-
dered the governors chair to b. +.
White, OF Dillon, who was appointed
to fill the balance of term under the
territorial government. Though ap-
pointed from the States, Governor
Leslie has conducted the Office in a
very satisfact DRY manner, except per-
haps to a few captious partisans.
lie is a high-minded, kindly old gentle
man, who has aimed to respect the
wishes OF the people. lie is held in
high regard at the capital where he
will now enter into the practice of
law. Montana thereby securing another
worthy and eminent citizen through
the appointive power.
In Governor White the people will
have an old time Montanian, an hon
orable, shrewd business man, who like
Governor Iauser, is familiar with
every industry in the Territory.
Though out of the political swim, and
chosen as a compromise by the politi-
cal brokers, it is believed his selection
will prove a wise one.

Senator Stewart estimates that there
are already 6,5OO,OOO acres in this
country reclaimed by irrigation, but
this is only a small fraction OF the
100000 square miles that are EN-
braced in the arid region. India is
spending hundreds of millions in irri-
eating reservoirs and canals and as a
consequence her productions and OK
ports are enormously increased and
are driving ours out OF the European
