WATER RIGHTS.

The Portland Oregonian, in answer
ing correspondent who insists that
private correspondents must not be
allowed to get control of water rights
in the arid districts, contends that sit is
a stupid perversion to treat the transac-
tion between the water companies and
settlers as sale Of water. The company
does not sell the water: it merely col
lects charge for carrying it, as rail
road does for carrying potatoes or lum-
ber." 1t holds that the work of build
ing and maintaining irrigating canals
which involves a vast expenditure of
money is beyond private enterprise and
must be done by organized capital A
parallel case is that of the land grant
railroad. Nearly all the land west of
the Mississippi river thirty years ago
was valueless to settlers because it
could not be opened to the markets of
the world. ITO create such a Market"
says the Oregonian, railroads had to be
built at cost Of hundreds of millions
of dollars. 10 induce corporations to
build these roads land grants we're made.
These grants enriched some companies
though they did not save others from
bankruptcy But they enriched set
tiers through all the country opened b.
ths land grant road ten times as much
in the aggregate, though there are in
dividual settlers who have not pros
pered. So with water in irrgable dis
tricts Irls valuess new. 1t will have
untold value when it is spread over the
arid lands, Every settler cannot build
an Independent ditch through his farm
any more than he can build an lndepen-
dent road to market. The water COM
panes will not undertake the work
which is TO give value to the water now
public, by taking it whore it is wanted
unless they may realize revenue from
the enterprise by collecting money for
the carriage. But for every dollar made
by the water companies the settlers on
irrigated lands will make a hundred"
There is much truth in the Oregonians
observation. The solution of the irri-
CATION problem lies in deylsng scheme
which will not drive out capital seeking
investment in irrigating enterprises
while affording settlers on the arid
lands protection from possible oppres-
sion by water or land companies The
Montanian who can compass such a
scheme will be entitled to the lasting
gratitude and remembrance of his fell
low men.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.

Mr.. L. G. Fvhrie, of Dillon, is constantly
Hotter, of this city. At distance of sew
eral feet this is really striking. Both have
long boards tinged with gray, forms Of
about the same height, and each wears an
easy fitting soft felt hat. Mr.. Fyhrie has
often been taken for his double. and says
it is not an uncommon occurrence for a
stranger to slap him on the back in an un-
concerned way and say, "How are you,
Martini" AS is also we'll known. he is one
of the leading business men Of southern
Montana, and is also heavily interested in
the new town Of Columbia Falls. He says
this has been most prosperous year for
Beaverhead and adjacent counties, and the
reopls are looking for great results
Mr.. A. s. Appleton, publisher of "In the
SWIM" of Chicago, and Judge Fry, of Be-
attle, who is interested in the publication,
have been at the Merchants several days.
The Judge will leave to-day tospend Christ

They propose to devote large part of a
special edition of the paper to an illustrated
article on Montana and Helena, provided

JsdRe Fry, like all Seattle men, grows en-
thusiastc when talking of the city on the

Seattle enterprise worthy of note. A pro-
ject to build great ship canal from the
sound into Lake Washington has been
talked of some time. The government sur

PRESIDENT HARRISON has shown good
judgment, in the main, in selecting the
new United States circ uit judges. The
most doubtful name on the list 10 that
OF Judge Woods, Of Indiana, whose rul-
ings in the case OF Blocks-of- Dud-
Icy indicate that he is q partisan Of a
small type. The two democrats named
by Mr., Harrison, George M. Dallas, OF
Pennsylvania, and W. L. Putnam, Of
Maine, are men of high character and
fine legal abilities. And SO are Judge
Shipman, Of Connecticut, and William
M. Taft, Of Ohio, republicans. Mr.. Gotf.
Of West Virginia, Is clever politician
but not a great lawyer. On the whole
the appointments will give satisfaction
to the respective parties.

A GOOD deal of fun has been poked at
Lord Randolph Churchill for some of
Ills comments in his series of South
African letters to the London Graphic,
but in his latest letter he expresses an
opinion regarding investments in that
country which is eminently sound. He
says:
What l have seen since commenced
my travels in South Africa has led me to
the conclusion that ro more unwise and
unsafe speculation exists than the invest
ment of money in the exploitation of syn-
aicates here. 1t may be that many of those
are at work here or on their way out. Most
or thoae which have come under my notice
