by an act of tho last congress- Mon

acres OF arid land from the federal GOV
ernment on condition that the same be
reclaimed and sold in small tracts 70
actual settlers. The state arid-land
commission is now in session IN Helena
for the purpose of mapping out course
Of action to be pursued so that Montana
will be able to fulfill her part of the bar
gain and obtain the promised million
acres of land frcm Uncle Sam. f. w.
l]eattie of Helena has been elected
chairman OF the commission and j. G..
Auld of GlendiVe secretary. The COM
mission is confronted with the problem
of tackllng a pretty big undertaking
with no funds save tritlipg appropria-
tion of 81 900 year for two years. How
to create a credit upon which such a
vast domain can be reclaimed, occupied
and cultivated, for the act granting the
same to the state provides that it must
be settled upon in small tracts and that
at least 20 acres in each quarter section
must be cultivated by actual settlers, is
the most important question for the
present. Speakingof the commissioners
task, the Helena Independent says: SPY
exceedingly prudent management the
commission hopes to accomplish the
task, but it has been determined pri-
marily not to issue any considerable
number of warrants, nor to incur any
liability, nor to enter into any contract
until such time as the members can be
we'll satisfied that the operation under
the policy determined upon will be sue
cessful. 1t would prove injurious to the
general credit of the state to have war
rants issued to any considerable amount
aud thereafter ascertain that under the
law it may be impracticable to reclaim
settle and cultivate lands which could
not be sold for an amount equivalent to
the outstanding debt contracted.''
