has not as yet organized and entered
upon the work that devolves upon it, but
the task that confronts it is at once
arduous and responsible.
The duties of the commission come
under two distinct heads, one the selec-
and reclamation OF the lands granted the
state under the terms of the Carey act,
and the other the settlement of these
lands with an agricultural population.
| Experience has proven that the more
difficult problem is the one of colonizing
these problems to cope with and has
found this to be true The text of the
Carey act says: "That the state shall
not be authorized to lease any of said
lands or to use or dispose of the same in
any way whatever. except to secure their
reclamation, cultivation and settlement"
This act and the regulations issued on
Nov. 22nd, "a, by Secretary Hoke Smith
dlstinctively show that "cultivation and
settlement are as necessary to secure
the lands as Proclamation"
The recent national irrigation con-
crosses held in Los Angeles in October,
lS93 and in Denver in September, 1894,
inaugurated an irrigation policy on
broad, national lines and appointed
national executive committee consisting
of member from each of the arid states
and territories to ascertain the feelings
of western people in regard to irrigation
matters, to unite them in working for
the general benefit of the west, and to
carry on an aggressive campaign Of edu-
cation in the east to divert the surplus
capital and population now lying idle
there to the agricultural! regions of the
irrigated vest.
W. Il, Smytno, the chairman Of the
national e&ncutive committee, has been
at work actively since the Denver con
gross carrying this policy into effect and
is meeting with gratifying success
Within the last week he addressed
large mass meeting in Boston on this
subject and will follow this up with
New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pitts
burg, and al other important cities. Ed
ward Everett Hale presided over the
Boston meeting and is heart and soul
with the movement. Immediately after
the meeting the preliminary steps were
taken toward the formation of a colony
to settle in some Of the irrigated districts
of the arid region. Mr.. Smythe writes
II think there will be a demand for
colony of 100 families, backed with the
capital necessary to establish them.
think this will be simply the forerunner
of many such colonies. advise your
people to make attractive offers to such
part OF CoiOnists.'
Colonial 'lubs are forming 10 many
places in the East with a view of acquir-
ing all possible information about the
Arid West and its resources, with view
to settlement when the al able loca-
tions are determined upon. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that there will be thou
sands of localities brought to their no.
tce and that many of them will make
most attractive offers. In order that
Montana may secure the benefits of this
movement in competition with other sec
tions of tn West the Arid Laud Com
mission should be as closely in touch
with the national executive committee as
possible.

want to uso the long distance system.
This system at present extends to Hell

These new instruments he states are the
best Of their kind manufactured, and are
such as are used over the new lines be.

Chicago, New Yory and Boston, and
they will also be available for the pro-

carrying on conversation with party
in Portland or Tacoma, with as much
ease as with his neighbor across the
street. Mr.. Lane gives assurance that
this will be the case.
When asked what his company in
tended to do about making lower rates
for local subscribers, Mr. Lane said the
company have been making experiments
with slot telephone attachment FOR
sometime, and when perfected they will
offer them to the people, the main
feature in this new attachment, is that
you pay for what you got, for local use
this will be cheaper than the present sys-
tenn, and is said to be especially adapted
for residences.
