mere is no doubt at all about that.
Think Of the total increase of popula
ton for the whole state if these farms
we're settled up. New towns would
spring up in the farming districts ano
many people would be added to the pop
ulations Of the towns and cities already
n existence. Then there would be nc
need of Cascade county sending 100000
out Of the state annually for farm prod.
nets, but many times that amount would
come in from the proceeds of these farms.
The streams in this state have been
measured in many localities, and the re-
suits in the case Of the Missouri river
and the application of the census stats
tics may we'll be mentioned. Before the
value Of the water flowing in the rivers
can be discussed it is necessary to make
some assumption regarding the duty of
between the quantity of flowing water
used by the irrigator and the area of the
land upon which he employs it. Water
tGty in this state is very low: that is,
Far greater quantities are used than are
necessary. From the examination Of the
lata at hand il is safe to assume a duty

the average first cost of water
Jughout the state is S4.63, and the
value now placed upon this water lie

these, s1O.41, may fairly be assumed as
the value of the flowing water to the
farmer in excess Of the cost; in other
words, the water sufficient to irrigate one
acre is worth Sl0.41 beyond the original
cost of bringing it to the land. II one

the water now flowing to wsste,lwhich
value can be realized only by the ex-
penditure Of considerable sums in the
construction Of irrigation systems.
The aggregate cost Of these works
would be very great, but the cost per
acre benefited, which is the proper
method of comparison, would be small.
The average cost per acre for the United
States is between % and $40. One sys-
tenn of canals could be constructed for a
probable cost of about S5 or S6 per acre
irrigated, and it would cover from 3OO,-
900 to 100000 acres Of land lying at it's
fartheat, not more than 35 miles from
this city either to the west or to the
east, and from these canals water could
be turned right into town and utilized
for irrigating trees, parks and gardens,
adding intellectually to the beauty and
wealth Of the town. Much Of this land,
owing to its location close to the city,
would bring il more than the average of
s1O.4l Der acre, but this system would be
worth at least 100000 annually to this
vicinity.

Thomas q. Merrill, the Montana mid
winter fair commissioner, has issued an
urgent appeal to the miners of this state
to do their share towards making a cred
liable state exhibit. In his circular to
the miners he says: "An.earnest effort is
being made to have Montana creditably
represented at the Midwinter Interna-
tional exposition at San Francisco, es-
pecially her mineral interests. Our time
is very limited. Will you kindly. select
and ship at once tome at Helena aJfew
good samples Of your ores. which will
become the property of the state unless
you otherwise direct; these ores must
reach Helena by tho 10th inst if possible.
We feel free to call upon you to assist US
in preventing Montana, alone, of all the
western states and territories from being
unrepresented in this great international
exposition.

BARLEY is IN 1T.
The Western Brewers Too Smart

The Western Brewers Too Smart
for the East.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. = The fight
upon the barley schedule of the Wilson
tariff bill has settled down to a plain
and simple prize-ring mill between the
beer interests of the East and West.
Heretofore, under the condition of
protection given to barley, the great
breweries of st. Louis, Milwaukee. Chi
.cago and st. Paul have practically
crowded the smaller Eastern breweries
to the wall. The hilarity factories of
the surprising West were on the ground
where barley-the raw material-was
produced. and the tariff tax prevented
the New York and Philadelphia thirst
alleviators from getting the barley of
Canada at price that would suffer
them to compete for the local or foreign
trade. The Eastern fellows got a 20 per
cent ad valorem duty fixed i'll the
original bill. Then they smiled and
waited for it to pass.
But the st. Louis and Milwaukee
fellows tumbled to their racket, as it
were, and have succeeded by strategy
in getting the ways and means COM
mittee to increase the duty to 80 per
cent. This settles it, and if the bill
passes according to the barley schedule
as fixed by the committee. the liquid
food concoctors of our sublime section
will continue to hold the national and
foreign market for their ecstatic prod
uct. Democratic legislation always
works in the interest of the just and
truly righteous.

NEED OF REFORM,

ing an Active Part in Politics.

ing an Active Part in Politics,
At the regular meeting of the Presby-
terrain ministers yesterday the chief
topic Tor discussion was the theory of
municipal government recently ex-
pressed by DR.. Washington GLADDEN..
Rev. A. B. Nichols read paper on
the rights of ministers to take an act
i've part in politics. He quoted quite
literally from Dr.. GLADDEN., and held
with him that there was great need Of
reform i'll the government of cities, for
1t was here that miSrule was found i'm
its worst form. The ministers should
be more thoroughly informed, he
thought, on local politics. and should
take more important parts. There
would, of course, be an outcrv from
politicians that the ministers were
meddling and should attend to their
own business and let the politicians
attend to theirs. Such talk should only
lead the ministers to renewed efforts.
Christianity was social force as we'll
as saving gospel.
The ministers should do all In their
power. he thought, within and without
the pulpit to eXterminate the saloon, not
only on Sunday, but every other day.
Moreover, they should labor to prevent
the election to office of corrupt men and
the enactment of vicious laws.
At the meeting of Baptist ministers
the subject of discussion was paper by

MADE THINGS LIVELY
Burglars Operate successfully In
the Eighth Ward.

Burglars operate successfully In
the Eighth Ward.
Burglars made matters lively in the
the Eighth ward Sunday night. G. w.
Simmons and family, residing at 304S
Fifth avenue south, went out during the
evening. and when they returned they
found that their residence had been
looted by burglars. The rooms had
been ransacked thoroughly, and yester-
day morning the family were obliged to
sit down to breakfast without any
silverware. The burglars entered
through window in the basement, and
from there proceeded to go through the
rooms on the upper floors. The curtains
lighted, the thieves evidently desiring
as much light in the premises as posi-
BILE so there could be no mistake about
what they took.
From the Simmons residences the
burglars went to the one occupied by
Henry NJ. Tallman, at 3l37 Portland av-
enue. Mrs. Tallman was at home alone,
and about IL o'clock she was startled by
hearing a saving noise at the front
door. She went into the hall to investi-
gate, and beheld two men saving hole
in the door. They were cutting out the
panels. Mrs. Tallman screamed and
rushed up stairs, at the same ejaculat-
ing that the burglars might help them
selves to what they could find if they
would only let her alone. The burglars
evidently did not understand the lady,
for they took fright. and, dropping their
tools. ran away. 1t is said there were
no police officers around the vicinity,
and that when complaint was made to
the Fifth precinct three policemen were
found near the stove, playing checkers.

AT the regular meeting of the board
OF trade yesterday the committee to
whom was referred the matter of i'm
proving the weather service of Mime
apolis reported in favor of making such
improvements as will place the office on
an equal footing with that of st. Paul
The committee to which the matter
was referred reported that instruments
to indicate the barometric changes, to
record temperature, the velocity and
direction of the wind, and the amount
OF rainfall and sunshine, and Rich
ards Paragraph, Richards thermograph
and triple register were all necessary
to make the Minneapolis office equal to
that at st. Paul. In addition to this it
was also reported that series of tele-
graph stations in the Southwestern
United States should be connected with
the Minneapolis Office in order to per-
nit observations from that part of the
country to be taken. The resolutions
bearing on the subject were adopted,
and 1t was decided to ask Senator
Washburn and Representative Loren
Fletcher to use their influence in secur-
ing the desired equipment.
An interesting paper was read by
Alex Scarlet on the subject OF Emil
gratlou," the sentiments meeting with
such approval as to call for a vote of
thanks. A large number of new appll-
cants were admitted.

The Saloon Men Did 1t.

A fact that has not been generally
known in connection with the matter of
raising funds for the relief Of the needy
unemployed of the city is that S. or 80
per cent of the money was donated by
the saloonkeeperS of the city. The liquor
men started this movement several
weeks ago of their own accord, and,
until it was we'll under way, said MOTH
ing to the authorities of the matter. The
amount was raised by canvass among
the various liquor dealers, aid will
reach the sum of $4,000. The grOcers
and other dealers in provisions have
also aided In this matter by making the
lowest possible price on their goods, and
thus the amount named will purchase
supplies to the amount of 5000. Yes

A lengthy conference was held at the

being to adjust the scale ofpriceS to cor

to meet the generally depressed condl-

the varieties were lowered and some
raised. the genernl average is quite ma

STATE BILLIARD TOURNA-
MENT.

Arrangements have been perfected
for the state billiard tournament to take
place at the West hotel about the 18th of
February.
Manager Capen is daily in receipt of
encouraging advices, and prospects are
good for brilliant meeting.
The contestants Will be James Logan,
Frank Palmer and Frank BilIlter, of
Minneapolis, and Henry Sampson and
julius Mayer, of ST. Paul. Sampson is
the man who few days ago made run
at Peterson's billiard hall OF S52 with
the anchor nurse"-a feat that has
created great deal of talk in billiard
circles in Chicago and New York.
Billiter has beaten Sampson several
times of late. and he a few days ago
made run under the same circum-
stances of $50. The other contestants
are we'll known as skiliful players. In
the coming tournament the anchor
nurse will not be barred, and there is
speculation as to whether Sampson will
be able to make another phenomenal
run.
