LAND STATES.
A Proposition to Give Each OF the
Arid Land States 100000
Acres.
The Secretary Of the Interior and Com
missioner Of the Land Office
1ndOrse the Bill.
With Plenty of Water the Arid State,
Wound Soon Be Great Cereal
Producers.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The senate
committee on public lands probably will
soon take up Carey's bill granting the
arid land states and territories a million
acres each OF the public lands, to be sold
to settlers in lots of $50 acres. The sec.
retary OF the interior indorses the bill
and the commissioner of the general land
Office has written a letter in which he
takes advanced ground in favor of the
improvement OF the arid regions by
placing the work under the control of
the various states. He says: 'The build
ing OF irrigation works has been found
to be very expensive, costing So to $50
per acre. Now that lands along water
courses have been pretty we'll taken the
question arises, How can lands difficult
and expensive to irrigate be made avail
able for settlement? The people OF the
states IN which the arid lands are 10.
Gated would like to see the United States
undertake their reclamation. This is
certainly impracticable now, and if is
ul whether it will ever be other.
wise That additional legislation to in.
duCe the reclamation and settlement of
ARID lands is necessary cannot be denied.
and the entire acreage to BIO reserved
the bill, il all the states to which
it is applicable should avail themselves
OF its provisions, would not be as great
as each OF the several states acquired
under the swamp act. Congress may
well try the experiment here proposed.
The work is tn vast to be undertaking
by the general government. The local
and community interest under control
will stimulate the interest with far
greater zeal and success. The principal
proposition involved the reclamation and
settlement by individuals in small hold.
ings meets my strong approval and this
bill seems to me to present a full op-
portunity for the practical experiment
under proper safeguards. The United
States retains the title until the re-
clamation is accomplished and the land
occupied by actual settlers. The states
and territories to which the bill would
apply if it should become a law are:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washing
ton and Wyoming.

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
Active Oficers Needed to Make the serv.

Active Ohcers Needed to Make the serv-
Ice Eficient.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Ransom,
chairman of the senate committee on
commerce, has received from Secretary
Carlisle a letter containing his views on
the pending bill ITO promote the eff
cheney OF the revenue cutter service
The statutes provide that each venue
vessel shall have one captain and a stat.
ed number of other officers, but no pro.
vision is made for filling the places made
practically vacant by reason of old age
or other physical infirmities, and no ap-
pointment can be made until there is
an actual vacancy. The secretary shows
that the "waiting orders list contains
nearly one-third of all the captains in
the service, their ages ranging from "a
to 80 years. The secretary SAYS the
need OF more officers on the active list
is urgent and recommends that a re-
tired list be authorized and the places
left vacant be filled by promotion as
now.

OUR SAND COULEE LETTER.

Fatal Accident, Balls, Parties, Etc.-Ship
ment of Migrants from Great Falls.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
SAND CoULEE, March 24.-Herewitt
send you some Of the latest news from
our great camp.
A man named Thompson (?) had his
leg crushed in the mine a week g last
Monday and last Wednesday he died OF
his injuries.
The masquerade ball a week ago yester-
day came off gloriously in spite of the
fact that the costumes did not come.
The Daughters of Rebecca always know
how to make a success OF anything they
undertake in the way Of balls and enter
tainments.
After this social event was over we
celebrated st. Patrick's day in the morn
ing and all day, and / am MOI sure but
some Of the boys are celebrating yet.
Last Saturday evening there was a
basket party in the Scandinavian hall
and there was a large attendance. l be-
lieve the Scandinavians are intending to
build their hall larger in the near future.
The knights Of Pythias are going to
celebrate the anniversary of the lodge
the latter part Of next month and a good
time is expected.
The Sand Coulee citizens are not quite
satisfied with the way the Great Falls
judges treat their vags and buns. We
ave had plenty of them here this win
ter, and il Great Falls likes to keep her
friendship up with Sand Coules she
ought to be careful in the future 80 as
to condemn her unfortunates to seek
shelter among the coal mines of this
place, as these kinds of citizens are not
here.

Enthusiastically retrograding. For 10 years
past we have enjoyed the reign of good
taste. In place of stiff monstrosities of EN-.
broidery In crude and impossible colors,
artistic adaptations of natural forms have
been used, worked in subdued but truthful
tints. Now there is a revival of the former
meaningless ornamentation, unpleasing in
both detail and general effect. Canvas

looks very much as if old fashioned wool

sort of thing-were on its way to the front
Once more.
Parisiennes are pretending to busy them
selves over Il new kind Of work which they
call lace embroidery, A sketch is given of
a pincushion cover in this style. a stiff

HOUSE GOWN,

fects are shown thiss spring. OF course the
popular bolero jacket has been applied to
tea gowns as to everything else, and since
the introduction into this country Of the
genuine Japanese kimonos, with their
winged sleeves and wide sash, there seems
to be no hope of further novelties unless
indeed somebody sets the fashion of wear
ing Turkish dress-full trousers and muslin
overdress-to the 8 o'clock tea table. As
this is q season of spangles, the costume
could be trimmed in an appropriately gilt
tering manner, m the fashion would have
the merit of offering an excuse. on the
ground of characteristic national custom
necessarily followed, for that b~lackening of
the eyelids so frequently seen here without
any excuse at all unless i'll judged vanity
be one.
The Parisienne deals rather more fanci-
fully with the house gown than we venture
to do in spite of our many vagaries. Where
we shorten the sleeves she dispenses with
them altogether, and where we content our
selves with a slight round, pointed or
square shaping of the neck. back and front,
she has the bodice cut away almost as much
as a ball corsage. The effect is often unde-
niably pleasing, as in the gown of which a
sketch is given, but it ought to be seen only
by artificial light, which is in itself a sort
of cloak. The garment is composed of yell
lowish ecru satin, with lace to match. The
skirt of lace over satin falls full and
straight. A white satin ribbon crosses the
corsage above the bust and is carried around
to the back, where it is tied in a vatican
bow. Another ribbon surrounds the waist
and is taken up under the bust, where it
forms a rosette on each side, from which
falls a long end. A knot of ribbon adorns
each shoulder. Two deep lace hounces
form a fichu pointed back and front, veil
ing the ribbon trimming.

YIELDED To THE PRESSURE.

The Government Denounced for Allow
ing Kossuth TO Die in Exile.
BUDA.PEsTH, Hungary, March o.
Many citizens who don't wish to incur
trouble from the students and their
sympathizers who last night smashed
the windows of houses showing no
mourning decorations to be renewed to-
night, are yielding to the pressure and
placing mourning emblems on their
houses. Crowds gathered in the
squares this afternoon. The students
made violent addresses, denouncing this
government for allowing Kossuth to die
an exile. Discovering that the draped
flags which they placed in the theatres
last night had been removed they de-
clared their intention of replacing them.
The authorities in anticipation of trouble
had the whole city police force on duty
with a draft of police from neighboring
cities together with the military. The
latter are held in their barracks ready
for any emergency.
