While it is AN established fact that
mixed farming can DE successfully car
rici ON in many portions Of Northern
Montana during ordinary seasons with
out irrigation, still the average tillcr of

greater degree Of complacency if, al seed

may be needed. That very convenient
adjunct To a homestead clothes the fields
with brighter colors and robs the future
of much Of its uncertainty. The TRIB-
TNE is pleased to state that many, if not
all. of the farming lands inCascade county
are now. or will soon be. covered by irri-
eating canals, from which the farmer
may draw such supplies as he may
need.
There are seven Of these canals which
vary all the way from 10 miles to -
miles in length, and which will afford
enough water to irrigate about all the
culti,able lands tributary to Great Falls.
For a more extended notice of these en-
terprlses. the reader is referred to AN
other page of this issue. 1t will be seen
that the waters of many of them will be
available during the present season, and
that at no distant time they will
all be discharging their wealth
of waters upon the rich pro
ductive soils of Northern Montana.
Those who contemplate securing homes
upon the millions of u%noccupied lands in

NEW LUMBER YARD.
r. ). Hammond n 90. Begin the Erection

of sheds and side Tracks To-Morrow.
That Great Falls is continually at
tracing the attention Of capitalists and
business men as the most promising field
for new enterprises is strongly cmpha-
sized 10y the fact that one of the largest
lumber companies in the Northwest will
tomorrow begin the erection OF lumber
sheds and side tracks for the accommo-
dation of their business. Mr.. G. NJ.
Nogt, the manager of this new company,
has looked pretty thoroughly over the
Northwest for IA good business open
ing, and it is his firm belief and
that of the capitalists h" represents that
there is not another city that offers half
the advantages that are 10 be found right
here in Great Falls for capital, brains
and pluck. He thinks the illimitable re
sources of the country tributary to this
city justify the most cXtravagant views
Of II future growth.
With regard To his business. Mr.. Nogt
stated that his firm had secured two
blocks between Eleventh and Thirteenth
streets and Eight and Ninth avenues
north for their yards. This will give
them a track frontage of 500 feet, which
will be ample for the present. They will
carry in stock all kinds and every vari-
ETY. of lumber, including sash and doors,
interior and exterior finish work. and will
contract To furnish buildings with all
kinds Of lumber and mill work. Part of
the lumber of the new firm has already
been shipped and it is likely they will be
ready for business this week.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
HE COMMERCIAL RESS.

As may have been anticipated the
G commercial congress of western states,
which met in Kansas City the l4th inst,
locked horns on the tariff and money
questions. The majority Of the commit
" tee on resolutions reported two to which
the minority take exceptions. The one
favors "thc issue of legal tender notes re
deemablr in gold and silver in quantity
sufficient to do the business of the coun
try" The other fayors a tariff for rev
enue only. The committee stood eleven
" for the resolutions and eight against
them. When il is taken into Considcra
ton that the object of the congress is
"the advancement of the mutual inter
ests OF western agricultural ard mining
states" that "farmers.' as one said,
"need cheap manufacturer goods and
fair prices for the food products which
they create" and that "thc desperate
condition of western farming interests
and the eager desire of the farmers tu
find remedy therefor" ii is surprising
that any two opinions can exist in the
congress as to the necessity Of Il greater
volume of money to meet the business
wants of the country. or that any mate
rial diversity Of sentiment prevails as to
the unwisdom Of a high protective tariff
There can be NJ question that tariff
reduction will be approved by the con
gress, and that an increased volume of
money will be favored. but upon what
lines is not 50 clear at the present writ
ing. Tho report of the minority of the
committee will doubtless influence to
some extent the action IF the congress
upon these two very important qucS
lions and give ROTOR 10 its
resolutions. but there is no dan
ger that President lIarrisun's suggcs
tions and advice embodied in his letter
to the body will be needed. He very
gravely told the farmers. in effect, that
they didn't know what they were about:
that il is silly for them Ia ask for better
prices for their products through the
opening Of foreign markets, because that
would make AL manufactured goods
cheaper. and as We would, at the same
time, have to open our ports To cheaper
foreign goods the wages of labor would
be reduced. Hence. the TEIHUNE does
not believe the congress will take an un-
due amount Of stock in IIarrison's letter
of advice.
The significance of the action of this
congress can hardly be appreciated at
the present time. Twenty four western
and southwestern states and territories
arc represented in the congress Their
delegate are brainy men, selected by the
governors Of the several states and terri
tories for their eminent fitness and abil-
ity to represent the varied interests and
Industries of their constituents. Their
action may be regarded AS an expression
of the people from whom they came, and
their sentiments will be crystalizcd in a
series of resolutions and become the
shibbolcth of "A powerful party
in the ensuing presidential and
congressional campaign in those
states represented. For this reason the
declaration of the congress upon the
leading questions of the day will possess
unusual significance. That congress may
swamp one of the old parties.
