THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The assembling Of the irrigation con
gress in Salt Lake City one week from
Tuesday is an event that has no
aroused general interest in the states o
the arid belt SO thoroughly as it ough'
to have done. Many of the recent con
crosses assembled to discuss questions
of finance and political economy have
been narrow in their limitations. This
one is not called to advocate this or that
policy, but for the purpose OF eliciting
the fullest expression of opinion IN one
OF the greatest questions of the times.
Each delegate will come to the deliber-
ations with his own ideas and will be
given the fullest opportunity to express
them. Whether he is in favor of a
tional legislation for the redemption OF
the arid lands or opposed to it, whether
he is for or against the transfer Of these
lands to the control Of the states, his
opinions will be equally welcome.
Montana is entitled to thirty dele
gates to this convention and Gov.
Toole has appointed some of our ablest
citizens to represent the state. These
gentlemen will worthily represent US in
the deliberations and the conclusions
they reach after full discussion with the
delegates from other states will be gen
orally accepted by our people.
SO far as we have observed, sentiment
here is strongly in favor of the transfer
Of the control Of the arid lands to the
states, under some such plan as that
suggested by Land Commissioner Car
ter, in his recent article. Our W peo-
ple, familiar with all phases of the ques.
ton, know better how to dispose of
these lands than federal officials living
ata distance, who may not have studied
the irrigation problem at all.
There is no question but that the
profitable farming of the future will be
done on the arid lands, brought under
Subsection by complete systems of irri-
CATION. Especially will this be true of
the lands adjacent to to the great min
ing camps of the Rocky Mountain
range, which will furnish a sure and lu-
crative market for all the products of
tho farm. With no failure from drought,
with an u%nvarying yield year after year,
and consequently no losses, with a home
market that can never be glutted, the
condition of the farmer on the irrigable
lands Of the mountain belt will be envi-
able indeed.
When it is remembered that millions
of dollars are annually sent out from
Montana alone to buy produce for our
people that could be raised in abun-
dance IN u own soil, it will be seen
that NO question can be of of secondary
importance to that which the irrigation
congress will discuss next week.

Boulangcr was forever acting. yet his antics

that there was more delight in the society OF
Boulanger than thore would have been in look

One day it occurred to Mr.. Webb that the
French officers would be entertained by visit
