The road to the Soldiers Home has
been surveyed and work will soon COM
mence which will make one of the finest
boulevards in the country. 1t will run
between the bluff and the river direct to
the Home. Rows of trees will be set out
on each side and such arrangement made
for their care as will insure their growth.
The expense of blowing and planting
trees will be met by the citizens of Dodge
City, though no one will be barred from
giving V if they feel so inclined. The
county will have road laid out from the
Home to Ford. There will be few finer
drives than the twenty miles of good road

The State irrigation convention called
to meet in Helena on Thursday of next
week, bids fair to be well attended,
and we trust that Fergus county will
have a good representation. This is .
question that ncer every county in
the state, particularly those adapted to
agriculture. 1t is not q movement for
the benefit Of the few. The main ques-
ton to be discussed is, how to reclaim
the arid lands of the state, and at the
same time be able to dispose of them
to actual settlers at a reasonable price.
Corporate power could be invoked to
restore these lands, but this is just the
thing to be avoided, if possible. Set
tiers should not be placed at the mercy
of water monopolists. They should
control both land and water. Any sys-
tenn of rentals would be un-American,
while it would lead to unrest, distrust
and litigation. No dohbt congress will
be asked to cede these lands t. the
states and territories if the general gov
eminent does not feel disposed to render
any aid in retaining them. This done
each state can then devise some plan
of irrigation hat will so enhance the
value Of lands as to make the sale of
them cover the expense of reclamation.
The only object the state can have is to
secure a permanent and ample supply
of water, and thus insure prosperity
and happiness to her people. The best
and quickest method Of reaching this
result is to be considered at the meet
ing in Helena.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Pioneer Press, speaking of Crisp's
treatment of Dixon, says:
By far the worst treated man in the
entire Democratic house is William
Writ Dixon of Montana. He is assigned
to two committees, that of labor and
arid lands, one of no use whatever to
his state or his section. The committee
on labor has little or nothing to do and
cuts no figure whatever in the doings of
congress, and the arid lands committee
will be allowed to do nothing. In the
last congress Carter, the Republican
representative of Montana, was made
chairman of mines and mining and
u member of coinage and postoffices
and post roads, three committees of
great importance to his state, and which
he worked to good advantage for his
people. The speaker could not have
done worse if he had totally ignored
Mr.. Dixon; in fact, he would have
called attention to him by such an act.
The Montana Democrats are not in
favor with the Southern Democrats, as
is shown by the committee assign
ments to the men who voted for Mills.
1t is said that one IA why no man
from Minnesota, Montana or the Da-
kotas was assigned to Indian affairs was
because the scheme is to prevent appro-
priations being made for the Indians in
this session. 1t is rather strange that
in all material matters of interest the
Northwest must look to the Republi-
cans to get what is needed through the
committees and the house.

Is his name Dixon, or is it Dennis7
Speaker Crisp has appointed his com
mittees and the only room he could
find for Montana's congressman was a
place on committees on irrigation Of
arid lands and on labor. 1t will be re-
membered that Thos. H. Carter was
made chairman Of the committee on
mines and mining, as well as member
of other important committees, in all
Of which he displayed rare tact and
ability. But Dixon is given an obscure
place on committees left for the little
fish of the party. Mr.. Dixon is an able
lawyer and deserving of a better place
while Montana was entitled to greater
recognition by the speaker. But Mr..
Dixon voted for Mills because he repre-
sented the Cleveland wing of the party,
and the ultra free trade idea. He made
a bad mess of it.

Historical Characters.

Under the head of western Tales"
a writer in a recent issue of the Helena
Herald relates the following in relation
to a couple OF characters connected
with the history of this immediate To-
cality and who were known by a num-
Der of our citizens:
"Major Reed and Bob Bowlesl Not
many men in Montana know these two
at the present day, although they were
at one time known to every man in
the state. They kept q trading post
in the Judith country and were noted
for their fearlessness and bravery.
They are reported to have engaged in
numerous encounters and very seldom
came out second best. Bowles was
the larger of the two and q man of
iron. He was as strong and active as
he was fearless. Having instilled a
certain fear and respect into the minds
OF surrounding Indians and whites, SO
that peace prevailed, they became hos
tile to each other. This feeling finally
broke out into open war. Each tried
the other but a~lwaysfailed. But both
had a narrow escape upon me occa-
sion. Having imbibed freely of whis-
KY n DAY, MAJOR Reed became eXaS-
perated at Bowles and made a slash
at him with q long, keen bowie-knife.
He stood close to Bowles, and but for
a trif1ing accident would have split
him up like a shoat. But the point of
the blade struck a riveted button on
a pair of overalls worn by Bowlss,
and this saved his life, but his abdo-
men was cut open from his naval to
his breast. This circumstance did not
disconcert Bowles in the least. He
was a powerful man with his fists, and
when he left Major Reed for the pur-
pose of seeking assistance the latter
was lying insensible upon the floor
with one arm and his collar bone
broken. Both recovered, but this little
encounter seemed to increase the re-
spect each had for the other and it was
never repeated.

Call of the Dogs.

EDITOR ARGUs:-Cowboys found two
dogs chasing cattle IN the head of
Blood creek, in this county, fifteen
miles from any settlement a few days
ago. One a a shepherd, supposed to
belong to one of the sheep owners on
Box Elder creek. Dogs and cattle both
looked as though they could not run
much longer. The cowboys are salts
fed the dogs won't. Sheep dogs, when
under control, are indispensable in a
country like this, but when set on to
cattle by sheep herders and sheep own
ers to keep them away from what little
open water there is on the range, until
they get to like it, and strike out on
their own account, and run cattle for
days or as long as they can stand up,
doing irreparabls mischief, they are
worse than wolves, who only kill what
they can eat, and must be treated &C.
cordingly; and those setting them on
to cattle should be made to under
stand that they have no more right to
dog cattle than the cattle men havet
dog their sheep.
Report says that dogs kept for the
purpose of killing wolves have also
been seen on the range chasing cattle,
and in one or two instances have killed
calves. A calf or cow is just as much
OF a loss when killed by a dog as by q
wolf, and the owners of such dogs
should keep them up and under con
troll or expect them to be killed or
sight when caught chasing cattle, be
sides being liable for all damages
Cattle are dying on the range for wan,
of water, and breaking through the ic.
on the Missouri when trying to reach
open water.

A decision has been rendered by the
supreme court which concerns all
county attorneys in the state. The case
is the State against George Meyers and
others, who were indicted for assault
and battery. The district court quashed
the indictment on the ground that it
did not have original jurisdiction,
which judgment is sustained by the
supreme court in holding that certain
classes of misdemeanors, such as
assault and battery, should be tried in
Justices courts, in which case the dis
trict courts have appellate jurisdiction.
