The bib introduced in the United States
Senate providing that one regiment Of
National Guards in each coast state shall
be designated By the governor as eoast
defense regiment and for thirty days Of
each year shall be trained in the art Of de-
tensive warfare by officers OF the regular
army At government expense. 10 an excel
lent measure. The erection of coast de-
lenses is useless usless there are troops to
man them. and the present organization
andequipment of the National Guards is
not such a. 70 warrant the belief that they
would prove efficient in face OF such an
emergency as descent upon our coast by
hostile fleet.
An eneampment OF thirty days dura-
ton in each year, with technical instrue-
ton in she art Of defensive warfare, would
so far toward bridging the gap which is
supposed 10 exist between militia and
regular troops. Under such q system at
least one regiment in each state would
be highly efficiekt and could be relied upon
for intelligent service in the defense of any
point assailed By an enemy. Not only IS
this true. but the existence Of regiments
especially designated and trained for coast
defense would increase the efficiency and
confidence OF the other regiments and
would render the National Guard as a
whole more useful and more quickly avail
able for effective work in case OF emer-
gency.
One grave mistake in the organization
Of National Guards in the coast states is
lack OF attention which is paid to the artiI
lery. In most OF the states this branch of
the service is entirely neglected. Only one
state possesses u full regiment of artillery,
and that Is an interior state-Ohio. Wash
ington possesses two well equipped regi-
ments Of infantry and one troop OF cavalry,
bat no movement has ever been made to-
ward the formation OF an artillery organi-
zation. Yet artillery Is the only branch Of
the service which would be really efficient
In opposing an attack from the sea.
Any measure which promises to increase
the efficiency OF the National Guard or
ganization is worthy of popular support.

The president in his message treats
of the conservation and equal distribu-
ton of the water supply of the arid
regions. Government aid, he thinks,
should he limited to such surveys and
observations as will determine the
water supply, the areas capable of irri-
CATION, and the use of the storage capac-
ity of the reservoirs. The construction
of reservoirs and canals for the storage
and distribution of the water, how
ever, ought to he given to the indi-
vidual states or to private corporations
under condition that fair rates should
be given all without discrimination,
the rates to be subjected to provisions
of the legislature or by boards of water
commissioners duly constituted, the
main object being to preserve fair
distribution of the water and protect
the settlers from unrestrained monOpO-
lies, controlling the essential element
Of land values and crop results.

With Gould in control of the Union
Pacific what will be the effect as far as
Idaho Is concerned? This seems a
question of much comment at present.
Gould has opened with the assertion
that the northwest has enough railroads
for at least five years. This is not
very encouraging, but un er the eff
cient management of Gould We can at
least hope for better service over the
lines of roads now in operation. The
rolling stock and equipment Of the
lines will be put in condition to work
at fullest capacity. Again it Is as
serted that this action Of Gould's,
which resulted in the retirement OF
Adams, has dissolved the alliance that
existed between Vanderbilt and
Adams, an alliance which stopped the
building of the Chicago & North.

bination broken that line will, in all
LIKELIHOOD, be continued from its pres
ent terminus, in Wyoming, toward the

and develop section rich in natural
resources.

A number of our exchanges have
been commenting upon the large
amount of important business that will
come before this Legislature. Up to the
present time, the question of electing
two United States Senators has been
about the only business thought about.
But the personnel of the SenatOrships
dwindles into insignificance 50 far as
its Importance concerns the welfare of
Idaho, when we come to consider the
irrigation problem. The one thing
that can make Idaho great State, and
keep it such permanently, is irrigation.
Shall the 5000, 900 acres of land in the
Snake River Valley remain desert, or
shall the waters of the Snake he util-
lied to make them "bloom and bios
som like the rose of SharOn?" Shall
this great region remain a desert, or
shall it be the Garden as well as the
Gem of the Mountains? This il the
all-absOrbing question for our legisla-
ture to consider. For II the waters of
the Snake are ever used to reclaim the
arid lands, 1t must Ike done through the
instrumentalities of the State. The
general government can not be relied
upon to do the work. It Is too gigan-
tic an enterprise for private capital,
and were 1t not, it is not desirable to
place the control of these lands in the
hands of grasping monopoly and alien
landlordism. We want none of that
in Idaho. Better let the land lay idle
and the water roll on to the sea. The
State must do the work. 1t Is fortu.
nate thing for Idaho that she has
selected an exceptionally able body Of
Legislators. The solution of the irriga-
ton problem requires the wisdom OF
statesman. 1t is gigantic und rtaking,
one requiring an enormous expendi-
ture of money, but, nevertheless, one
that will repay the State manifold and
add immensely to the States wealth.
Idaho wants statesman, broad
guage man, one who can solve the irri-
cation problem and inspire the legisla.
ture with the faith and courage to take
it up and provide for the accomplish.

The present Indian troubles have al
ready had very serious effects in Great
ing panics among the settlers and
causing the abandonment of their
homes at the beginning of winter,
leaving their property to the mercy
of the savages. Even this, If no other
disastrous result follows, will suffice to
derange business and cause much suf-
fering for the ensuing year. What is
still more discouraging is tn. fact that
little or no progress has been made by
the Government in quelling the dis
turbance and restoring peace and quiet
ness. The Indians seem to be as turbu-
lent, as fanatical, as defiant as ever.
The mistake has been made of allow
ing the Indians to supply themselves
with arms and ammunition while sub
sisting in idleness upon the rations be-
slowed by the government, supplement
ted Gy other supplies pillaged from the
whites. The folly of the policy pur-
sued by the Government has been all
the time manifest to all who had any
knowledge of the Indian character,
and has been so often exposed and CEN
sured by the press that the subject has
become threadbare. lis always the
same old story. Hoards of idle savages
with arms in their hands, nominally
kept and subsisted upon reservations,
but in reality allowed to roam at will
from one end of the country to the
other, without restraint from any
quarter. 1t now seems quite improba'
BILE that these pets Of the Government
can be brought to reason until after
a few battles have been fought and
many lives sacrificed. It Is possible
of course, that this may happen to be
avoided, but the present temporisine
and hesitating attitude Of the troop.
