GOVERNMENT IRRtGATIoK WANTED.
Montana Don't Care For a Cession of Her
Arid Lands bv Uncle Sam.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 10.-Montana
does not want Uncle Sam to give her the
arid lands in the State. She so decided
yesterday by the unanimous vote of the 1914
delegates to the State Irrigation Conven-
ton. The delegates do want the general
Government to aid in the work of reclaim
ing the arid lands, and so, instead of the
plan recommended by the Salt Lake conven-
tion, they formulated one of their own.
The convention was composed of repre-
sentatives of the ranchers, stockmen and
the mining industry. Senator Power, in
speech expressed the opinion that if the
general Government ceded the arid lands to
the States there would be no subsequent
appropriations for the purpose of the irriga-
tion. The resolutions urged that the pro-
ceeds from the sale of such lands shall be ap-
piled to the supply of water for their de-
velopment for the purposes of agriculture.

began training yesterday afternoon under
the supervision Of Captain Wright, who had
