DR.. Nansen has returned from
his search after the north pole of
our venerable planet. He succeed
ed in reaching sc degrees, IA
minutes north latitude. 1t was a
great achievement. To stand
within 226 miles of that long
sought object is fame enough for
one man, especially when it is con-
sidered that the DR.. penetrated 24(
miles farther than any one ha6
ever done before.

that according to law they hold
office until November 1898. The
petition recites various reasons
why in the opinion of the petitions
ers they should hold office four
years from the the time they were
elected, Nov. 1894. The petition
while not opening up the much
m ooted county missioner aues-
tion which has been so extensively
ventilated of hate is bound to be a
fruitful subject for the discussion
in all so called new counties. AS
has been previously stated in these
columns the commissioners in all
the old counties hold until Nov.
1897, while their successors are to
be elected at this years election.
The constitution provides that they
hold office four years. An effort
was once made to amend that
document so that one should hold
two years and the other two four
years and although the people
voted for such amendment it failed
to become legal through some
technicality in regard to the time of
advertising. AS the state was ad-
mitted November, 1889, at which
time of course the constitution,
went into effect the four year term
of office would run as follows
1889, 1898, 1894, 1897. In relation
to Flathead county the commission
ers appointed March /, 1898, served
until January l., 1895, at which
time they were succeeded by the
present board elected in 1894.
The present board was elected tc
fill part of term so they will hold
until November, 1884," said a
lawyer who was asked about the
case.
AS the Governor cannot change
the statutes or the constitution by
proclamation it is more than pro
bable that he will write to the com
missioners to the effect that theil
term expires IN November. 1897
along with the balance of the com
missioners in the state, and tha
their successors must be elected
this fall. The matter cannot b.
determined by-a proclamation b,
the executive, but must be relegat
ed to the courts for settlement i
the commissioners persist in thei
desire to hold over.
A recent decision of the suprem1
court OF Arizona, Sheen VS.. Hughes
covers the point as to the executive
leaving off the names of candidates
ssThe statute provides for the hold
ing of general elections, fixing the
dates thereof, and what officers are
to be elected at the general elec
tions, and it is not il. the power o.
the Governor to authorize the
election at such an election unless
there are such officers provided by
law, or to prevent the election Of
an officer at such election to ar
office to be filled at that time by
including bis office in the first case
and Withholding it in the latter" !"

The pathway of the average
county commissioner as all who
have held down the job can attest,
is not, as rule, lined with the
proverbial roses. Those who have
served term or so do not usually
fall over themselves to secure re,
nomination. Zone term is enough

of those who have administe tered the
affairs of a county for four years
and listened to troubles Of con-
stituents from the rural and town
sections. But case has just come
to the surface wherein Il board Of
commissioners are very anxious to
reverse the rule and hold Office as
long as possible, The commiss-
toner's of Flathead county, Fred

Morgan County, Colorado.


The irrigated farm is the only "surs
thing' farm on the face of the earth. And
the beauty of it is that it never wears out
never fails to yield double the average OF
non-irrigated sections. There are irrigated
farms in New Mexico that have been TILED
for $50 years which are today as good as
new In Arizona, the Pima Indians have
for 400 years raised the biggest OF big crops
from their irrigated land. Along the ME,
IN Egypt are farms that are more than 4,
900 years old and which produce larger and
better yields than any other lands In the
world.
One of the best illustrations Of the ad-
vantages Of irrigation is to be found In the
irrigated district surrounding Fort Morgan,
Colorado, where during the last ten years
half million dollars have been spent IN the
construction OF system Of irrigating ca
mails which has no superior anywhere. a
stretch Of country perhaps 30 miles long oy
Is wide has been brought under cultivation
and now presents an appearance that Is
almost ideal. Fields Of alfalfa, wheat, oats
and corn lend brilliancy to the broad pla-
teau. Thousands of sleek cattle and count
less focks of sheep browse upon the nutrl-
tious grasses. Here and there an orchard
bends beneath its luscious load more
fourishing community does not exist. AND
the secret of it is Irrigation and Cattle Inc

Men who are unacquainted with the re-
suits Of farming by irrigation can form no
idea Of Its superiority over ordinary meth
DDS of agriculture. Think what it means to
be able to hasten or retard the Development
of growing crops-to make 1t rain when,
where and in what volume you wish. True,
all this means closer attention and greater
labor, but are not the results worth it3
In Morgan County there are no cyclonesi
INC extremes Of heat and cold; no crop fal..
ores The people are friendly. The rel1g.
Yor1s and educational facilities all that can
se desired The climate the finest In the
world.
Morgan County land is not "cheapn-
chat is, it is not cheap in the sense in which
that word is ordinarily understood. Iha
I price ranges from S15 to $50 an acre includ'
ing perpetual water right, but as man can
make better living OF 40 acres there than

10 Better Than the Kurds in Armenia
Women and Children Killed.
KEY WEST, Fla, February 5.-Sorne
ime ago when the insurgents entered
,abanilla, the Spanish official report
yaated that they were driven out by
he garrison and unfortunately three
women were killed by stray bullets.
The truth of what happened there has
lust been learned and it shows that the.
Spaniards are acting as barbarous IN
Cuba as the Kurds are in Armenia.
Sabanilla, which is an important town
If Matanzas province, was entered by
100 insurgents under Garcia. The
Spanish regulars retreated to the bar
RACKS and made no resistance. The
spanish volunteers, however, retreated
10 the church and fred on the insur-
rents. The insurgents returned the
fire, killing five volunteers. The volun-
teers then ceased firing. The inhabi-
tants received the insurgents joyfully
and the poor people who had eaten
nothing but cane were fed by Garcia,
Who made the merchants open their
stores and told the people totake food.
Thirty stores were looted of their pro-
visions and one storekeeper was shot
ior resisting. The insurgents then re-
tired. AS soon as they had gone, the
Spanish volunteers came out of the
church and opened fire on the people
in the streets. Forty-six We're killed,
thirty Of whom were women and chill
dren. Their only offense was in cheer
ing the insurgents and taking food to
save themselves from starvation. After
shooting these people the volunteers
took ten Cubans, who had surrendered
on promise of amnesty and shot them
down in cold blood. Two thousand
men, women and children reached
Matanzas from Sabanil1a. They fed,
fearing further massacres by the Span
ish volunteers. These facts are vouch-
sd for by Mayor. Galvez, of Sabanilla,
who is in Havana asking General Marin
to punish the volunteers.
