THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Resolutions Passed Asking That States and
Territories Be Granted Lands
in Trust.

SALT LAKE, Sept. 1.-THE Irriga-
ton Congress closed its session today
after promulgating the following reso-
lutions as the result of the delibera-
tions of the convention:
Resolved, That this congress is in
favor OF granting in trust, upon such
conditions as shall best serve the pub
lie interests, to the states and terri
tories needful of irrigation, all lands
now a part of thepublic domain within
such states and territories, excepting
mineral lands, to render the lands
now arid fertile and capable of sup
porting a population.
Upon the request OF the Kansas del
egation thefollowing was also adopted
Resolved, That it is Justly due the
settlers of Montana, the Dakotas,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and Ok,
lahoma, who have paid into the
United States treasury millions OF
dollars in the purchase OF these lands,
and have expended other millions in
fruitless attempts to farm them with,
out irrigation, that a portion OF the
funds so paid be expended in securing
to such lands the benefit of irrigation.
AS a committee to take up the
action of the congress and prepare a
memorial to congress. the convention
appointed C. C. Wright, of California
Platt Rogers, OF Colorado; A. d.
Foote, of Idaho; A. W. Stubs, Of

THE PRICE OF A

Now that the new crop of grain is
being threshed ranchmen are naturally
interested in the prices that are to be
offered, and are devising some plan to
realize q fair return for their labor.
There is talk of forming an association
or combine to hold the crop and pre-
vent an immense amount from being
offered for sale at once. No doubt if
the majority of our ranchmen could
store their grain and were able to hold
it indefinitely they would get better
prices, but here is the difficulty. A
great many have incurred debts
through the winter and spring that
they expected to liquidate as soon as
their grain was threshed, and they feel
compelled to meet their obligations.
Some may be paying a high rate of in
terest on money, which they are anx-
ious to release themselves from, so it is
not q matter Of choice with them alto
gether. While every fair man will
concede that buyers must be governed
by the law Of supply and demand, all
would regret to see the prices rule SO
low hat ranchmen would be unable to
| receive a fair compensation for their
toll. 1t would be better for all if oats
| did not sell for less than two cents a
pound, but the probabilities are the
price will be about one cent. We be-
lieve it would be better for our mer-
| chants if a good price vas maintained.
| Ranchmen would like to have a little
money t spend as well as other peo-
pie. Fol- years they have been pinched
for cash, either through failing crops or
the lack Of a local market, and now
that they have something for sale it
seems a pity that they cannot realize
living prices. OF course holding the
crop until next year is taking a
risk, as we may have another favorable
season and a great yield. But if a
man can hold indefinitely and sell but
little at a time he is bound eventually
to strike a rising market. We under
stand there will be a good demand for
oats at the camps of Neihart and Bar
ker this fall, while a considerable guam
tity can be sold on the Musselshell.
Every ranchman must in a measure
look out for his own product, and seek
the best market possible. 1t may not
be necessary to rely on the local de-
mand altogether.

HIS LIFE THE FORFEIT.
The Superintendent of a California Gold Mine
Shot and Instantly Killed.

NEVADA, Cal, Sept. les. Glavotti.
superintendent of the Derbec drift
mine, was murdered by highwaymen
this morning while coming to this city
with a $4,000 gold bar, Just cleaned
up at the mine. Glavotti and j. D.
Ostrom were in a two-horse buggy as
cending the South Yuba river grade.
six miles from this city, when a rifle
shot was fired from the bank above.
The ball entered the back of Glavotti's
head and emerged from his mouth,
causing instant death. Ostrom forced
the horses into a run up the steep
grade Just as n second shot was fired.
The bullet entered the neck of one of
the horses, and a turn in the road
soon took the team out of range OF
the shooters. Ostrom continued to
force the team up grade, holding his
companions dead body in the vehicle
with one arm and being soaked from
head to loot with his LIES blood.
Reaching the Mount Vernon house,
Ostrom left Glavotti's body and his
bullion in the brush, then rode to this
city to notify the officers. A wagon
was sent after the dead superinten-
dents body, and several squads OF
armed men have started for the scene
| of the murder.
The body OF superintendent Gal
vottI, OF n Derbec mine, who was
shot by highwaymen this morning,
was brought here this afternoon. The
ball entered the face al the left side OF
the nose and the superintendent died
instantly. Ostrom, who was with
Galvotti, says he first thought Gal
vottTs own gun had been discharged
accidentally, so close was the shot
fired. Ostrom seized the ~lifeless BODY
Just in time to save it from going out
OF the buggy, then struck the horses to
get out of danger. They sprang for.
ward Just as a second shot, which
struck one OF them i'm the neck ,was
fired. Galvotti's rifle and hat fell to
h ground as the team ran up the hill
like mad, the blood from the wounded
horse covering the otherhorse at every
jump. Ostrom did not see the robbers,
who are generally believed to be two
in number, although he thinks there
was but one. The gold bar was
brought in this afternoon. Itcontains
a little less than $4,000, being the
semi-monthly cleanup. Galvotti was
one OF the best gravel miners in the
state. He leaves a widow, but nc
children.
A large number OF men are searching
Iuba canyon and the outlying coun
try in all directions, but as the terri
tory is rugged and heavily timbered
and cut up with innumerable ravines
there is but little prospect OF captur
ing the criminals.

Because Major Mckinley takes occ,

Because Major Mckinley takes occa-
sion to show up the inconsistency of
Grover Cleveland and his party on the
silver question by reading the letter
written by the STUFFED prophet" two
years ago, the Bourbon press charge
that he is ~neglecting the tariff issue.
Of the party is seeking after
nothing but offices, and Campbell does
not want the silver question made an
issue in Ohio, as he is not in accord
with his party's declaration in favor OF
free coinage. Mckinley and Sherman
both are giving the tariff the fullest
consideration, and have no apologies
or excuses to offer whatever. Camp
bell will get all the tariff discussion he
wants, and will be laid high and dry on
the banks of Salt river next November,

Mr.. Candidate Fassett has not yet

port of New York, nor is he likely TO.
He will find it a very snug berth IN
which TO seek consolation after election.
Helena Independent.
As n matter of fact Mr.. Fassett sent
in his resignation as collector immedi-
ately upon receiving notice Of his nom
ination. But this is just as truthful as
anything the Bourbon editor of the In
dependent has written for some months
past. The Democratic governor OF
New York still holds a tight grip on
two offices while he dictates who shall
be nominated on the Democratic ticket
10 succeed him as governor.

FLOWER HONORED.
New York Democrats Nominate Roswell p
Flower for Governor.

SARATOGA, Sept. 16.-The Demo
cratic state convention met promptly
at 10 O'Clock this morning. The plat
form was presented and adopted. 1t
re-afirms its Democratic faith, de-
nounces Sherman, the silver law, the
Mckinley tariff, Blaine, reciprocity,
the squandered surplus, the detective
census and the revolutionary pro-
ceedings OF the billion dollar congress.
The rest OF the platform refers to
state affairs.
Nominations being in order, Mayor
Porter nominated Roswell p. Flower;
Thomas De Witt nominated Alfred C.
Chaplin. The ballot resulted in 344
for Flower and 43 for Chaplin. The
nomination was made unanimous
amid the widest scenes. William f.
Sheehan was nominated for lieutenant
governor; Frank Rice for secretary OF
state; Frank Campbell for comptrol-
Ter; Elliot +. Danforth for treasurer;
Simon Rosendalef for attorney general;
Martin Schenck for surveyor and en-
gineer. The convention adjourned.

M'KINLEY AND THE woOLGRoWERs.

About once a week some free trade
editor of the millionaire organs devote
five or six lines to the effects of the
Mckinley tariff on the price of wool.
They produce no arguments, no facts,
but indulge in sarcastic slurs, which,
in most instances, are the best evil
dence OF the falsity of the assertions
they make. The fact is the Mckinley
law in its brief operation has knocked
every m of them silly, and closed the
mouth and palsied the hand of the
most audacious liar in the gang. The
editor OF the Helena Independent,
who received his political training
within the hallowed precincts of Tam
many Hall, would try to make Mon
tana w~oolgrowers believethat McKin-
ley was receiving a COO reception by
the hockmasters OF Ohio. He says,
with feigned pity: "Poor Mckinley I!
With a decline OF three cents a pound
in Ohio wool his lot is an unhappy
one. All he "a say is, that if it had
not been for his bill the decline might
have been still greater. The wool
quotations are knocking Mckinley
out without the necessity OF any help
from the Democrats" The facts are
Mckinley is having an ovation at ev-
cry town in which he speaks, and
farmers are giving him hearty assur-
ances OF their support. They take a
personal pride in this gallant o OF
Ohio, and have unbounded faith in
his wisdom, integrity and ability.
The American Economist Of recent
date contains an article which utterly
refutes the free trade claim that the
tariff has not benefited the wool
grower. 1t takes the reports OF the
Boston Commercial Bulletin of Aug.
%, 1891, and OF Aug. %, 1890, as the
basis of its comparison OF prices, and
makes a most favorable showing. OF
the nineteen qualities OF wool reported
fourteen were higher in price on 22d
OF August, 1891, than on the same
day OF 1890, four were lower, and one
was unchanged. These woods repre-
sent the products OF all parts OF the
Union. Four grades in which there
has been a decrease in prices are from
Ohio hocks, the reason whereof is to
be found in the fact that these are the
qualities of wool most nearly resem-
bling Australian products, which have
been unusually large during this fiscal
year. But in two qualities OF Ohio
wool there las been a slight increase
in price, and one quality is selling in
1891 at the rate that obtained in
1890. While the four grades of Ohio
farmers wool has slightly decreased
in value, double extra showing a de-
crease OF about 8 per cent, Australian
wool of about the same grade has de-
creased 25 per cent. Now, would not
this grade of Ohio wool fallen to the
same level as the Australian, if not
lower, were it not for the Mckinley
tariff? Montana woods, fine (scoured
basis), are quoted at 81 and 5s in
1890, and 80 and SO in 1891; medi.
UNI, 81 and SO in 1890, and 55 in
1891. Intelligent w%oolgrowers in
Ohio or Montana have no fault to
find with Mckinley or his bill, and
they may all have a chance to vote
for him for president before his politi'
cal are is ended.

WILL RAISE TROTTERs.
Hon. Lee Mantle Purchases a Stock Farm
Near Dillon.

Herald: Following the example OF
several other millionaire statesmen of
Montana, Hon. Lee Mantle, of Butte,
has decided to crafty his penchant
for fine horses by becoming a breeder
of the same. The tastes of the gentle
man lie in the direction of the trotter,
and to that class of animals his atten-
ton will be directed. With this end in
view Mr.. Mantle has just secured by
purchase one of the finest ranches in
this state and will convert it into a
model thoroughbred horse and cattle
farm. The property in question is
one of the best known in Montana, is
located in Beaverhead county on
Birch creek, about fifteen miles north
of Dillon and two miles from Glen sta
ton. 1t contains about 1000 acres,
a large area being hay land and sixty
acres under cultivation. Mr.. Mantle
has also purchased a large number of
horses and cattle that were on the
property and to these he has already
added twenty head o fine brood mares,
and the stock will be increased from
time to time.

CONTINUED subservience," says he,
s'but makes the condition too degrad-

The campaign liar has made his APP

Cincinnati house circulated a story to
the effect hat Major Mckinley bought
his furniture i'm London, the liar claim
ing to have stood by the major when
he made his purchase. Mr.. Mckinley
wrote the firm that the statement was
false in every particular, stating that
he V was in London, and never
bought a piece of furniture outside OF

Ohio are apparently in desperate
straits, and are resorting to their IA
yorite tactics to defeat Mckinley.

Experience has taught our Western
fockmasters that a state cannot enforce
a too stringent scab law. Where would
Montana be today but for her heroic
measures taken to exterminate this
dread disease. A recent visitor from
Texas told US that in New Mexico and
mucn of the Southwest country they
only dipped to keep the scab down."
We believe this to be true in many
sections of that county. If the state
and county officials in those scab-rid-
den districts had made proper laws
governing the trouble, and executed
them as other states and territories
have done, the scab would be practi-
cally extinct. AS it is, the word scab
is a SYNONYM for Southwestern sheep.
