As will be seer elsewhere Gov. Toole
has issued a call for a state irrigation
convention to meet in Helena January
z, 1892, which is in accordance with
resolutions adopted at the Salt Lake
irrigation congress. 1t will be seen
under the apportionment of delegates
that Fergus county is entitled to six,
who are to be selected by the board of
county commissioners at its December
meeting. While it is rather an I'M
seasenable time of the year to hold
conventions or expect representation
from remote parts of the state, the fact
that an expression of the people is lee
essary that the matter can be laid be-
fore the coming session of congress,
should guarantee a good attendance.
at the meeting. No doubt this state
will be found in hearty accord with the
resolutions adopted at the Salt Lake
congress, which we're in substance
''that all lands not mineral should be
given in trust to the states and terrific
ries for the purpose OF developing lrrl-
CATION; to render the lands now arid,
fertile and capable of supporting a
population" AS long as there is no
likelihood of the general government
rendering any aid in retaining the
arid lands Of the west, the people of the
states and territories in which they lie
should be permitted to adopt measures
for their reclamation, and if sufficient
pressure is brought to bear and the
question put in its best light there
seems little doubt that congress will
take favorable action. This is a mat
ter in which all Mountainous are inter
ested, and should be given the atten-
ton its merits deserve.

A FIGHT o. LIFE.
Shall We Drive Slow Poison From Our
Breakfast Tablet
Alum and Ammonia in Oar Bread.

A nuisance that troubled England fifty
years is now rapidly spreading in this
country, that is putting alum in the bread
we eat. This question is causing a great
deal OF discussion at the present moment
as it is revealed that alum is being used as
a substitute for cream of tartar in baking
powders. A story is old that a very large
percentage of the baking powders sold on
the market contain either alum or ammo
MIA, and many of them contain both these
pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm is
felt at the wholesale use of alum in bread,
biscuit and pastry. To young children,
growing girls, persons of weakly frame,
alum bread eaten morning, noon and even
is the most harmful. 1t is the small guam
titles taken at every meal that do the mis-
chief. Alum is cheap, costing but two or
three cents a pound, while cream of tartar
costs thirty cents, and the high price oil
cream of tartar has led cheap baking pow
der to be made of alum. If the reader
wants to know something Of the corrosive
qualities OF alum let him touch a piece to
his tongue, then reflect how it acts on the
tender delicate coats OF the stomach.
Following is a list compiled by the Scien'
tifc American, of the alum and ammonia
baking powders that nave already been
tested:

A southern Democratic senator,
commenting upon the recent election,
said: off we permit the Republicans
to 90 into the presidential campaign
with the tariff for an issue we shall be
as badly beaten as we were at Malvern
Hills and at Gettysburg" These are
words of wisdom which it would be
well for the Democracy to heed, but it
cannot do so and be consistent.

Our Name Used to Advantage.

The very name OF Montana is a talisman
of good fortune. 1t is a fact that train
load after train load of Wyoming grass fed
steers, ranging almost on the Montana
line, and in everything except that strange
spell, a name, equal to Montana cattle,
have been sold in the Chicago market at
from 90 cents to S1.Oo per hundred weight
less thar the same identical brand of cattle
dubbed "Montanas' have brought in the
same market. Every cowman in Wyoming
running his cattle north of the Platte, who
has steers for sale in Chicago, could get an
advance OF at least one-fourth on the price
he now obtains did he only know enough
to ship them and market them as Montana
rangers. Climatic conditions, grass and
water are SO nearly identical that the sub
stitution would never be suspected. One
case in point we can quote. A train load
OF Stoddard e Howard cattle was shipped
to market over the Northern Pacific, and
another outfit shipped a train load of the
same brand of cattle that had only n few
weeks been separated to the same market
by the southern route. They were on the
market at the same time, and the northern
shipment going on the market as Montanas
brought S4.25, the Wyoming natives bring
ing less than S3.65 A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet, but a Montana
rose would sell for more.-Billings Gazette.

The Sugar Bounty.

NEW ORLEANS, July THE new
bounty law passed by the last congress
requires that all applications for the
bounty must be filed with the internal
revenue department before July 1.
They have been pouring in since the be-

twenty to fifty day, and it is supposed
that all Of them have now been fled.
There are $40 sugar plantations in
Louisiana, but only about 800 have sp-
piled for the bounty, and it is probable
that number of these will make no ap.
plication for the funds, as the sugar
they turn out will not come within the

should contain 80 per cent. of saccha-
rine, and it would cost them too much
