SPRING FLOODS AND IRRIGATION.

The spring floods that are certain to
follow the heavy snow falls all over the
northwest will emphasize the necessity
and Importance of doing something in
the arid states towards solving the irri-
CATION problem. Scientists tell us that
so long as there are no reservoirs or
water ways in the northwest to hold
back the melting SHOWS and rains, so
long will there be damaging freshets in
the lower Mississippi country. The di-
rector of the United States geological
survey, in his report for 1889, thus dis
cussed this danger: "The development
OF irrigation along the base Of the Rocky
mountains is of double Importance be-
cause of it's influence on the agriculture
of the lower Mississippi. To store up
the waters Of the Missouri and its main
%atfluents. for the purpose of irrigation, is
to diminish the volume OF that flood Of
the lower Mississippi which is most de-
structive by reason of its occurring in
the heart of the farming season. More
over, the great difficulty of the problem
~ G!lo lOW6I AAASolSSlppl l5CS AAohl ~
fact that the river normally makes a de-
posit there, thus ~clogging it's course and
giving to it's channel an unstable posi-
ton. The principal source of the sedl-
ment is the Missouri river and it is car
ried forward chiefly during floods. With
abolition of the great Missouri floods,
the s%edimentary load of the lower Mis-
sissippi would be diminished and the
securing W of the less loaded floods
from the Ohio and the upper Mississippi
would establish for the lower Mississippi
a lower grade and a deeper channel. For
every acre Of land reclaimed to agricul-
ture IN Montana, another acre will be
reclaimed in Louisiana; and, IN general,
all lands redeemed by irrigation on the
great plains will be equaled by the lands
redeemed from floods in the great valley
Of the lower Mississippi"
In view of these facts, it is q shame
to the United States government that it
is not just enough and generous enough
to at least undertake the construction,
at government expense, of great storage
reservoirs In Montana. 1t has appro-
priated millions of dollars for the food
sufferers along the lower Mississippi,
but has done nothing to protect them
from the annual foundations which
might be prevented by storing the wat
ers at their source. And this work
would be doubly beneficent, because il
would not only save life and property
but add to the nations wealth by re-
claiming millions of acres of land and
affording homes to countless numbers
OF people. There seems to be no hope.
however, that the federal for
years to come can be induced to take a
broad and comprehensive view of this
question. The work of irrigation will
will have to be undertaken by the states
themselves and for their own protection
they can enter upon their irrigation
policies none too soon. We trust the
deliberations of our state irrigation con-
v~ention this week will result in shaping
soule measure upon which our legisla-
ture may act at the present session.

A SUBSCRIBER asks: "Why do you
call the present trouble in the election
of q United States senator a deadlock?
The Century dictionary defines a dead
lock in a Legislature as situation where
parties are evenly balanced. This is not
the case in the Montana legislature"
Tho same authority gives this further
definition: "A complete stoppage, stand
still, or ENHANCEMENT; a state of affairs
in which further progress or a decision
iE for a time impossible as if from an in
extricable locking up. I'VE stand pat.
A deadlock it is.

THE ANII-OPTIuN LAW.

The anticipation bill, as passed by the
senate, is q dangerous bit Of legislation,
an encroachment on constitutional pow
ers that is regarded with disfavor by
our ablest statesmen, and, if it becomes
a law, it's enforcement cannot be Sc
cured, but a strong public sentiment Is
behind it and it may pass the house.
We believe those who favor tho bill will
be disappointed in it's workings and will
find it gives rise to new evils that do
not now exist. We do not believe that
free competition in the purchase and
sale of agricultural products can be Sc
cured. Secret combinations will still
be possible and speculation can no more
be prevented than can any other form
Of gambling. So long as the law is to
be- enacted, however, it ought to be more
comprehensive. AS it now stands, the
bill attempts to regulate the purchase
and sale OF raw cotton, hops, wheat,
corn, -four, oats, rye, barley, pork, lard
and bacon. Mr.. Power, when the bill
was under consideration in the senate,
proposed to add silver bullion to the list,
This should have been included, as also
should petroleum products, high wine
spirits and WHISTLES, as suggested by Mr.
Wolcott. These amendments were both
voted down. Coal also should have been
added to the list. We hope to see the
house amend the bill by Incorporating
"
these articles and all others in which
thore are corners and speculation. II
W are going to have this sort of legisla-
ton at all, let it be comprehensive.
