A PICTURE OF IRRIGATION.

There are times when all of us specu-
late with more or less interest on the
changes that may com within a hun
dred years. We look back upon the
past century with all it's marvellous pro-
gress and wonder whether there would
really be anything to recognize. if like
Phra, the Phoeniclan, We could sleep off
an age of history to awake and resume
life.
Perhaps Ex-Secretary Noble was not
looking quite a century ahead when he
drew the following picture:
"The most stupendous changes in the
United States during the next hundred
years are to come in the fer west. A
century hence the world will see in the
plains and mountain region of North
America a region suck as the anoients
never even dreamed of. All through
that region, much of which is now arid
and not populated, will be a population
as dense as the Aztecs ever had in their
palmiest days in Mexico and Central
America. Irrigation is the magic wand
that is to bring about these great
changes. Last summer I travelled much
in the far west, and the effects of irriga-
ton are indeed wonderful. Here runs
a ditch skirted by a hedge. On one side
is the desert, a barren plain, only sage
brush and cactus growing out of it's
rarched toll; or the other side waving
fields OF alfalfa, grain, vegetables and
other crops, rich and luxuriant. The
alfalfa produces three crops in a year
and is splendid food for sheep and cat
tie. 1t needs no prophetic eye to see
this region all subjected to irrigation
and n of the greatest agricultural
countries in the world. With agricul-
ture and mining manufacturing will
follow. The market will constantly
move nearer instead of getting farther
away"
This picture, after all, is not difficult
of realization. The only obstacles to ir-
rigation are lack of funds and enter
prise. The problem itself has already
been solved, the needed are
ready to come when inducements are
offered and it is only a question of time
when these arid plains of the west will
TEEN with people. Encouragement is
needed both from individual and public
sources. This brings regrets over the
failure Of the Montana legislature to do
something in this line, but when we re-
member the other work of this body it
is perhaps better that the effort was
not made. Let us devote the time in
tervening for the next session to adver-
Using results of irrigation in this state
in the hope OF bringing large corpora
tons like those working in Colorado
and Arizona.

ATTEND THE PklM ARIES

The first real work Of the city cam
paign will begin at the primaries this
evening. Every democrat must be
found at his post.
Last year the cry Of mo candidates
but the best" won the day. Democrats
responded to this call in a solid line and
the result was a clean ticket and a
sweeping victory. The same policy
must DO followed this year il we hope to
win, and it is therefore expected that
every democrat interested first in the
good government of city and Sec
ondly, in party success, will take a hand
in the movement. First Of all, lot us
nominate aldermanic candidates whose
names will appeal for popular support.
They must be citizens clean in charac-
ter, capable in management, and loyal
supporters of Helena's best interests.
These men can win where shifty and
smart politicians fail. Tho present
council is one Of the best Helena ever
had. The business Of the city has been
carefully handled and there have been
no scandals of any description in that
body. Let us nominate men MS capable
and honest as those now in service.
Special care must also he taken in
choosing delegates for the city conven
ton which will meet on Wednesday
evening. The work of completing the
ticket will then be finished and it must
we'll done. Send men who can be
with this important mission.
Party lines are never drawn very
in municipal campaigns. The
business should be the business Of
citizen. 1t comes close to the
and there are mighty few right
minded men willing to sacrifice personal
for mere party victory. In
rider to win, democrats must recognize
his at the primaries tonight end at
he convention to be held later.

APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. 1898. 3..-The cool
weather aud the certainty made clear by
Senator Cockre!l's aggressive tactics
in the Senate on the silver bill. are having
their effect upon ConRresmen and they
are beginning to settle down for the
winter. Up to now most Of the Congress
men and many of the older rep
resentatlve have give their temporary
Now they are looking about for houses
and private apartments, and are bringing
on their families for the season. ALI Of
which is significant that no adjournment
of the extra session, aud possibly only
brief recess can be looked for.
THE LIFE SAVINGS SERVICE.
In public debate the criticism is often
made that the government conducts its
business in way that would bring ruin
and disgrace upon any private enterprise.
The late accident at Ford'S old theatre
has been pointed to rs an instance OF
this sort. Now members of Congress
have taken up q later case of neg lect and
point to the great loss OF life in the
recent hurricane as partly the result of
the niggardliness of Co ngress i'll falling
to make the proper appropriations for the
life saving service.
A great point OF weakness of this ad-
mira ole system. is the short term of SER
vice of many of the crews. The term is
fixed by treasury reputation. and that
regulation Is based upon the approDria-
tion made by Congress. Iu many locali-
ties now the term OF service OF some OF
these crews begins September l and ends
May l.
A number of Senators are in receipt OF
letters from their constituents along the
coast urging them to take some action
that will still further improve the life
saving services which even as 1t Is. is
acknowledged to be the finest and most
complete In the warld. 1t is not un-
likely that bill with that end in view
will soon be introduced in the Senate
by Senator Hunton of Virginia. The
recent storm also directs attention to an
important bill introduced early this
session by Mr.. Frye. which appropriatss
$4,000 for the purpose of making ex-
periments as to the best means of COM
municating between light house stations
and light boats aud the shore SO as to
give warning of vessels 10 distress.

Prevention Of Cholera Easier
Than Cure.
how CAUGHT,

Healthy persons "catch" cholera by
taking into their systems through the
mouth, as in their food or drink. or from
their hands, knives, forks, plates, tunlb-
lers, clothing, etc., the germs of the dis
ease which are always present in the dis
charge from the stomach and bowels OF
those sick with cholera.
THOROUGH COOKING DESTROYS THE
CHOLERA GERMS; therefore:
DON'T eat raw. uncooked articles of any
kind. not even milk.
DON'T eat or drink to excess. Use plain,
wholesome, diRestible food. as indiges-
tion and diarrhoea favors an attack of
cholera.
DON'T drink unboiled water
DON'T eat or drink articles unless they
have been thoroughly and recently
cookedor boiled, and the more recent
anu hotter they are, the safer.
DON'T employ utensils in eating or
drinking unless they have been recently
put in boiling water, the moro recent,
the safer.
DON'T eat or handle food or drink W irh
nnwashed hands. or receive it from the
unwashed hands of Others
DON'T use the hands for any purpose
when soiled with cholera discharges;
thoroughly cleanse them at once.
Personal cleanliness, and cleanliness of
the living and sleeping rooms and their
contents. and the thorough ventilation,
should be rigidly enforced Foul water
closets. sinks, Croton faucets, cellars,
etc.. should be avoided, and when pres
cut, should bs referred to the Health
Board at once and remedied.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES OF TREAT
MENT.
The successful treatment and the pre-
vention OF the spread of this disease
demand that its earliest manifestations
be promptly recognized aud treated
therefore:-
DON'T doctor yourself for bowel COM
plant. but 60 to bed, and send for
the nearest physician at once Send
for your family physician: SEND TO a
dispsnsary or hospital; send TO the
Health Department.; send to the
nearest Police Station for medical aid.
DON'T wait, but send at once.
Ii taken i'll in the street, seek the near.
est drug store, dispensary, hospital or
police station. and dem and prompt
medical attention.
DON'T permit vomit or iarrhoeal dis
charges to come in con tact with food,
drink or clothing. These discharges
should be received in proper vessels
aud kept covered until removed under
competent directions. Pour boiling
water on them, put strong solution of
carbolfc acid in them mot less than one
part OF acid TO twenty of hot soap suds
or water.
DON'T wear, handle or use any articles
of clothing or furniture that are soiled
with cholera discharges. Pour boiling
water on them or put them into it, aud
scrub them with the carbolic acid solu-
tion mentioned above, and promptly
request the Health Board TO remove
them.
| DON'T be frightened. but do be cautious,
aud avoid excesses and unnecessary
exposures of every kind.
