The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-01-23

a HELENA paper calls upon the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern to build
new depot buildings at that city, as the
present ones are but shanties, and will
give the town a black eye before the
great number of visitors which it expects
next year. The depot buildings seem to
be large enough to accommodate the
traffic of Helena, and hat is probably
all the railroad companies want. In a
city like Great Falls, where every indica-
ton of stability and improvement stands
out prominently. railroad companies
spread themselves on depot buildings.
In proof of this, note the magnificent
structure at the foot of Central avenue
in this city.

AN EXPLANATION WANTED.

In his speech before the Helena irri-
cation convention Mr.. Power charged
that the Salt Lake resolution was a pre-
conceived and concocted plan to pass
the arid lands of the west into the hands
of corporations. This is a charge that
needs an explanation. How are the ir'
rigable lands to pass from the control OF
the state into that Of corporations under
the Salt Lake resolution: Will the sup
porters of Mr.. Power please explain:
The Salt Lake resolution recommends
that the arid lands be coded by the gen
eral government to the states and terri.
tories in which they are situated, with
the implied understanding that the
states and territories Immediately pro.
coed to tie work uf retaining such
lands by a system of irrigation suited to
their conditions. At what stage Of the
work do corporations step IN and take
the lands from the control of the states:
1t is true the state may, through its leg
islature, unless prohibited by congress
iOnal enactment. lease or sell its irriga-
plc lands to companies or corporations,
but by what process Of reasoning OF
through what presentation OF known
facts does Mr.. Power assume that the
state will yield ifs control OF its irrigablc
lands to corporations: The TRIBUNE
would like to know.
With abundant proof 10 support the
assertion it may be said that under the
present system-if it may be called a
"system"-of irrigation. corporations are
fast gaining control of the irrigable lands
of the state. They own about all the
surplus water of the smaller streams OF
the state and are conducting it over some
excellent agricultural lands. They OF
their friends have taken up much of the
lands their canals cover and will soon
own, not only all the lands, but the men
who farm them. Incontrolling the water
they hold the occupants of the irriGable
lands under their thumbs. In looking
over tho composition Of the Helena con,
vention il is no hard task to point out
and count the thumbs which may press
down upon the tiller Of the irrigable
lands. The TRIBUNE does not say this
will be done; it SIMPLY says the pressing
may be done.
The TRIBUNE recognizes and applauds
the enterprise Of the men who have at
much expense built dams and construct
ed long canals and lateral bitches to
cover arid lands with water. The enter
priaes are commendable ones. But
these canals cannot cover one tenth OF
the irrigable lands Of the state. and il
they did their sources Of water supply
are too limited to meet the demands that
would be made upon them. The only
way by which all the arid lands of Mon,
tana may be reclaimed is by a system OF
immense reservoirs and large canals: res
which runs to waste every year from
our hundreds of mountain streams. and
canals Of ample size and numbers to
handle the restrained waters. Private
corporations cannot engage in such vast
enterprises. a state may with assur-
anccs of success. Now again we ask,
where. under the Salt Lake resolution,
would state control Of arid lands cease
and corporate management 81 them be,
gin: Will some one explain:
