FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL,

The seriousness of the coal famine
for which the trust is responsible, is ev
ldenced by a memorial passed by the
Minnesota senate asking the general
government to take possession of all
anthracite coal lands and operate them
IN the interests Of consumers. This
movement, started by Ignatius Don
nelly, would ordinarily attract the same
attention given to the schemes for gov
eminent control of railway and tele-
graph lines, but it IS of special and
rather remarkable interest because OF
its official Endorsement by a legislative
body. We believe it to be the first in
stance of the kind in the history of the
country.
The operations of a trust never APP
peared in a more heartless form than
the efforts of the coal combination to con-
troll prices. Their success means a cruel
deprivation to thousands of poor people,
and may be followed by more serious
results. 1t will certainly cause a more
respectful attention to the teachings of
socialism among certain classes, and
among others more Intelligent new in
quiry into Bellamyism, and the doctrines
Of which Mr.. Donnelly, himself is an
eloquent exponent.
A memorial to congress from a leglsla-
tive body in a great state like Minnesota
is always of serious concern to many
people, and when it appears as a solemn
approval of Il departure SO radical as
government control OF coal lands, GER
tainly it is time.to give thought to soln-
tions of problems heretofore ridiculed.
1t is scarcely mor suggestive than the
recent acquittal of a boy for stealing
coal by a Judge in one of the eastern
states, though the guilt was acknowl-
edged.
The theory of Mr.. Bellamy's Arcadian
life is very pleasant and may some day
be realized, but We may well doubt if it
ever comos to pass as ho suggests,
through the absorption of one trust by
another until all jewellers on earth are
shareholders in M great corporation.
Existing conditions Of which the coal
trust is the latest issue, would seem TO
indicate Il wiping out of the trusts bv
the people before universal Corporation
is reached.

1T SHOULD INTEREST ALL.

Tho people of that bustling young
city Of Great Falls have won an envia-
bio reputation for interest in all sub
jects pertaining to broad development
of resources. They are justly proud of
their town and prophetic of it's glorious
future, but more than that, are wisely
appreciative of the development OF the
surrounding country in order to bring
Great Falls nearer to its destiny. State
aud for irrigation has attracted the in
terest of the board of trade in that city,
and a committee has been appointed to
draft a bill and push its merits to the
attention Of law makers with the pur-
pose of bringing about satisfactory leg
~islation on this subject.
II other cities in sections where irri-
cation is absolutely essential would take
the matter in hand, The INDEPENDENT
is very sure of Il successful issue. The
question now is not the adoption of one
bill or the rejection of another, but to
rouse such an interest in this matter
as to impress the legislature with the
Importance of acting on it at this ses-
sion. There ought to be an irrigation
lobby in Helena with representatives
from all parts of Montana. If they
could meet to discuss matters there
would be no difficulty in framing the
right measure.
1t is expected that energetic work
will be done IN this line, but it is neces-
sary at this time for an enthusiastic
showing of interest in all communities
and with all newspapers of the state.

character; Il fond memory of other days
held a warm place in his heart.
Now" he said, after u few moments
silence, for an answer to my question.
Of what were you dreaming when dis
turbed your reverie?"
81 was dreaming of one long to see. I,
too, have loved and lost, but not in the
way you did. My love was among the
humble class, not rich or proud, but
good, pure woman, who gave me the first
impulse toward q useful life that ever
stirred in my breast. l was a careless,
thoughtless fellow, when she came to Wa
verland. Then her active, happy life mada
me ashamed of the idle one | led. From
her influence / have tried to do some good.
My father was an absentee landlord, and
his estate had been neglected until the old
house itself was going to decay. She came
as gOverness to my little sister, and soon
she was governeSs, houSekeeper and al
most estate keeper. BY an unfortunate
word from my mother she was made to
feel her dependence, and she left Waver-
land one day when l was away from home.
She did not know how dear she was to me.
Though have sought her far and near,
can find no clew to her whereabouts. That
is my story. 1t was of her that l was
thinking when you came to me-"
Il have often thought what little things
can change our lives" said the duke.
"Yet they are not the little things; they
are the, real, sensitive, living, though un-
seen, parts of our existence"

Col. Jonathan Kimball died at
Vermllllon last week from blood
poisoning, aged siXty-six years. Col.
Kimball served through the war in
an Illinois regiment, being promoted
by degree to the rank of colonel. He

cratic politicians of the state. and
was member of the state con-
stitutional convention. and at the

The receiver appointed for the
defunct bank Of George r. Scougall
Il Co., at Yankton, has Just made
his report. The liabilities are
placed at 1927, ZOO and assets at ST.
600. Creditors will realize fifteen per
cent. The intention of exhumine
the body of George r. Scougal has
been abandoned, as it can make no
difference to the creditors whetherhe
committed suicide or died from nat
ural causes. His death is we'll estab-
lished, although this was strongly
questioned last week. 1t is believed
that the widow of the deceased
banker will divide portion of her
husbands life insurance with the
creditors rather than suffer her
ther-in-law, the junior partner,
to be criminally prosecuted. Investi-
cation shows that when the Scottish
American Mortgage company with
drew its business year ago Scouga1
was short $4,000. He was obliged to
deed over to the company all his real
estate, including his home, and to-
assign part Of his life insurance. This
was insufficient to effect settlement,
and the depositOrs' fund was drawn
on from time to time and but $4,000
was found when the vault was
opened.

with me and was always by my side. AS
look back tc those days feel very thank

despair.

within my heart. 1t was near the time for
me to start for London if / wished to visit

Myrtle with me, and to send her away
among strangers seemed cruel thing to

ing we had been out riding~and called at

persuaded Myrtle to spend few days
with her. When the time for Mvrtle's
visit to end came, went to bring her
home. Still what to do with her during
my absence was an anxious puzzle When
she saw me she came, and putting her
arms about my neck, said:

should stay little longer with Annie9

A few days after, when my preparations

bing most piteOusly.
She was comforted by my telling her
that was going in search Of Stella. That
was magic word. She ceased weeping
and began to plan how nice it would be to
have Stella at Waverand once more.
