IRRIGATION LEGISLATION

Our irrigation laws, as they now stand
upon the statute books, are incomplete,
impracticable and fragmentary. They
do not meet our necessities at the pres
emit time at all.
Mr.. Carter has introduced q bill in
congress to cede all our arid lands to
the state on condition that certain
amount is reclaimed each year. This
bill, il it should become law, would
not meet the necessities of the case
The day for land grants, even to state
has gone by, and any law which would
make it possible for sources Of watel
supply, reservoir sites, or the arid lands
to fall into the hands of corporation
would be detrimental to the future pros

But, in actual fact, an order issued last
summer concentrated the infantry into
eight manned companies, and the cav
airy into ten. The surplus officers Of
the discontinued companies we're there
upon transferred to those organizations
which were actively retained. At pres
ent an infantry regiment has only one
major, while the two othe- branches OF
the service have three for each regi-
ment.
The bill before the senate swells the
five artillery regiments to seven, pro-
vides for q full regiment Of engineers,
instead of battalion, gives to each reg
iment except the engineers uniform
organization OF officers, field, staff and
company, including three majors and
two lieutenants for each company. The
three battalion organization, which our
correspondent so warmly advocates, is
to rule in each branch OF the service.
The addition of new companies calls for
an additional number of men, and the
maximum strength would 'be raised by
this bill from $1,000 to 10000 men. 1t
further arranges for the enlistment of
Indian scouts to the number of 1000,
and for the enrolment, in the enlisted
strength, of 1000 boys, who are to be
instructed in the proposed army appren-
tice battalions or in the state militia.
We thoroughly believe that it would
be matter Of regret if the prospects OF
the infantry addition should be injured
by the recent consolidation OF compan.
les Military authorities have been al.
most unanimous in advocating the
twelve company organization as the
proper one for a regiment. It permits
Of three equal battalions for tactical
purposes, and, more important still, ii
ensures uniformity throughout the line
The organization has Away been advo-
Gated as the ideal one in this arm, and
has received the support OF all our prom.
inent officers. The recent change was
only makeshift, and means to secure
a greater number of artillerymen, and
by no means represented change OF
front on the part of our military ex
ports. In such matters civilians car
only be guided by military men, and il
it is to be hoped that with such a con-
census Of military authority on it's side
the senator's bill may become the law Of
the service.

THE INFANTRY SOLDIER,

hE 1NEANINI SN1ADlER.
We have received the following COM
munication from an esteemed CORES.
pendent:
It was most refreshing to read the edi-
torlal in THE INDEPENDENT of the 18th on
the subject of Great Guns. It ia partlcu
larly 80 coming as it does from an inland
journal of the influence and merit possessed
by The INDEPENDENT. A paper which has
views broad enough to reach beyond the en-
vironments of its own immediate patrons
and approves of = policy which only in a
should surely bs champion of a public
measure which is probably better appre-
ciated by its readers than by any other COM
munity in the country. The measure re-
fer to ia the bill to promote the efficiency Of
the army. introduced in the senate by Mr..
Hawley. No one knows better than the
people of Montana what our little army has
done to promote the advancement Of civil
| ization, and help develop the wonderful re-
| sources of our new states, and they above
| all others I know, would like 10 see it
placed as far as possible on par with other
armies SO far as organization and efficiency
is concerned. We need the three battalion
organization. Every military power except
China and the United States has adopted
it. They alone have the ten company bat
talon. For the last four years board of
distinguished officers. specially selected for
their peculiar fitness for the duty, have
been working at Fort I.eavenworth to for
mulate system of drill regulations which
will meet the requirements of modern war
fare, and have Just about finished their la.
bors. This board has selected the thres
battalion organization for infantry. The
cavaly and artillery have it, while the in
fantry, which is the army proper, still keep
to the methods which are now obsolete i,
every first class military power. Can no
