WITH THE TRAVELLERS.

In THIS way 1t Is accomplishing great re-
suits. The station is located OH $50
acres of good farming land. The agri-
cultural college was opened there in
September, and starts out with seventy
pupils.
y The necessity for irrigation compl-
Gates our farming interests TO some eX-
tent" said Mr.. Emery. The majority
Of our farm lands must be irrigated, and
with this majority irrigation is
simple matter. But the territory
designated as grazing land is
out of the reach of water for
Irrigation, hence can never be reclaimed
for farming purposes. However. it is
well supplied with never-failing streams
of water, so that the stock can never
thirst. An apparently remarkable
feature OF our Montana watercourses
and lakes is that they always remain at
a normal stage. This is due to the
enormous accumulations of snow in the
mountains. On the mountain tops the
snow is piled up i'll some places hun
dreds or feet high. An acquaintance of
mine, VINO Is miner, told me that he
attempted to sink a shaft on top of one
of the mountains i'll the Belt range and
dug down through tWenty-seven dis
rated by layer of dust. These accu-
mutations ofsnow thaw continually, but
do not become exhausted, for the reason
that snow storms up there are frequent
at all times of the year.

1.-The farming lands of Montana are
very fertile. Corn is raised extensively
III The southeastern part of the state,
and the census of 1890 shows that the
heaviest corn yield in the United
States was raised in Montana. In the
Yellowstone, Missouri and MusSel river
districts corn, melons and cucumDerS
are raised prolihcally. Outside these
districts our heavy staples are wheat,
oats and tame grasses. Alfalfa does
well, ana sometimes three crops of it
are cut in year, and five tons are often
taken from an acre.
Too much reliance has been put upon
our mineral product, and the time is
neal at hand when the people of Mon
tana will learn that the agricultural re-
sources are much greater than the min
eral. The state is almost Identical in
character with Colorado. The latter
state is the heaviest precious metal pro-
Queer iii the Union, and it is onlyWithn
few years that agriculture and manu-
featuring have been developed to any
extent there. In 1892 Colorado produced
So, 900 in minerals, and her agricult-
ural output during that year amounted
to over sec, 100000. while her manufact-
urlng output exceeded $1,000 900.
What that state has done in the way of
farming and manufacturing Montana
can do. 1t is fact, however, that in
both states the prosperity of the farmer
and manufacturer depends largely upon
the prosperity of the mines; for we are
TN a y n In, -
the nation to be able to compete with
our products i'll the distant market: the
reliance of the farmer and manufact-
urer must be for some time to come
upon the home market. Montana and
Colorado afford the most marvellous
nome market in the United States. The
development of mining III both states
stimulates agriculture and manufacture
Ing, hence we canOt afford TO have our
mining crippled"

Senator H. c. Hansbrough, Hon. Alex
Mckenzie and Jud La Moure are a
party OF North Dakota Republican Mes
! tors at the Merchants, all three arriving
yesterday from their homes. Whether
there Is any meaning in their appear
aHce together does not appear upon the
surface. Mir. HanSbrough says he is on
| his way to Washington, where he eX-
poets TO remain for the winter, indIcat-
ing by the remark that he does not be-
lieve the senate will settle the silver
question before the regular session of
congress-; i'll fact, he said as much. II
doubt if a vote will be had at ALL" said
he, upon the main questionable I'M
conditional repeal of the Sherman law.
OF course. there may be some inside
work since ! left Washington some
weeks ago, with which | am not IA
millar, that will bring about a more
speedy settlement of matters than | an
ticipate. But there is one thing L feel
very confident of, and that is that the
unconditional repeal measure will never
pass"
Mr.. Mckenzie said he was in the city
purely upon business matters con-
nected with his receiYership of the
North Dakota lines of the Northern
Pacific, and that he should probably
leave today for North Dakota. Mr.. La
Moure made no remark upon the object
OF his visit to the city, anu did not say
how long he should stay.

A. r. Speel returned yesterday from
Harrisburg, Pa, where he bias been
nearly all summer, caring for his brother
in serious illness. The Pennsylvania
passenger train on which Mr.. Speel left
Harrisburg was run i'll eleven sections,
consisting of siXty-SiX sleeperS. This is
an indication OF the travel from the
Last TO the worlds fair.

Charles Clark, of st. Louis, president
of the Granite Mountain silver mine at
PhillipSburg, Mont, was at the Ryan
yesterday, en- route home from his
mine. MI. Clark is worth a cool S10.-
100000.
