field didn't want him in the cabinet. He feared
him, and he thought that with him as Secretary
of the Treasury Sherman would be bigger than
Garfield and would get the credit Of the admins
tration. He did not want to displease Senator
Sherman, however, and he wrote to Foster ask
ing him to give up the senatorship. 1 was at
Columbus when Governor Foster received this
letter from Garfield. 1t was the weakest thing
of the kind have ever seen. He described
his relations to Sherman. and he begged Foster
for the good Of the party to stand aside and let
Sherman go back to the Senate. He practically
got down on his knees to Foster and urged him
to write him at once letting him know what he
would do. He said in the letter that he would
give Foster anything he asked if he complied
with his request
How did the letter strike Foster?' I asked,
'He was. Of course. not pleased with it,"

osterwould be the chief OF his counsellors and
would be the leading Ohio man at the capital
during his administration. He had at this time
almost surety of being Garfeld's successor in
the United States Senate. and it was currently
reported that he would either take this place
or be one of the chief members of Garfield's
cabinet. l heard the other dav the story
OF how he lost both OF these positions. II is
somewhat similar to that of his recent financial
failure. and his fault was that he trusted in his
friends and they deceived him. get the facts

In the Ohio senate and who was for years one
OF the leading politicians of Ohio. He is now
practicing law at Los Angeles. but his big in
terest in mines and lands keeps him in the east
more than half the time Carron was at this
time living at Cleveland. He was close in the
confidence of Garfield and Foster. and he was
part OF many of the political trades that were
made among the statesmen at that time. We

to Garfield, and asked him why it was that

He replied:
1T was largely the result of Garields vacil-

moral courage, and in his efforts to please John
Sherman and Roscoe Conkllng he refused to
pay his legal political debts to Charley Foster
roster and Garfield were as close as brothers
at the time they went to the Chicago conven-
ton. They slept together at Chicago during
the convention, and Foster and Garfield rode
together back to their hotel after Garfield had
been nominated. Foster put a great deal of
money into the Garfield campaign and he was
one of Garfield closest friends and advisers.
The understanding was at that time in Ohio
that Foster was to be the next United States
Senator. He was very strong with the people
and the legislature. and there was little doubt
but that he could have been elected.

miles southwest of Fort Benton, rrin-
cipally between the Great Northern railroad
and the Missouri. and the object is to irri-
gate all the bench lands between that point
and Fort Benton, which means the COM

the finest agricultural land to be found any

During an ordinary year, splendid crops
may be raised on these bench lands, but IL
complete system of irrigating canals will
remove all fear of losses of crops by a dry
most perfect one. All the surveys are com
pleted and on Monday, 9th inst, the con-
tractor. VIM. Bruce. Of Choteau, will begin
work with a force of men and teams, on
the construction of the reservoirs and
canals.
With the regular surveys a line WAS run
