The republicans of Lewistown gave a
banquet Friday night to Hon. W. A.
Hedges to celebrate and commemorate
his position Oh the senatorial question
last winter. He has the proud record
Of being the only republican member Of
the Legislature from Fergus county who
refused to vote for W. A. Clark and
thus betray his constituents. The men
Of his party have been DESTROYS of in
dorsing his action III some public man.
ner since the close of the legislature,
but circumstances have prevented up to
the present time, Mr.. Hedges having
been absent in this county looking after
his sheep interests, only returning
home last week. There was a good at.
tendance Of republicans, among them
being F. W. Wright. cashier of the
Bank of Fergus County. of which Sena.
for Hobson is president; John M. Vroo-
man, editor Of the Argus; John D.
Waite, ex.sheriff +. +. Smith, repub-

THE BILLINGS DITCH.

Commission Talks About It..

Donald Bradford of the State Arid Land
Commission Talks About 1t.
Donald Bradford of Helena, vice
chairman Of the state arid land com.
mission, was in Billings a few hours
Saturday night on his way home from
a few days trip into Carbon county.
Mr.. Bradford was approached by The
Gazette reporter and interviewed re-
garding the construction Of the irriga-
ton canal for the Billings bench.
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Bradford said there was nothing def.
mite about the ditch and that the report
published in several papers to the effect
that the Manhattan Mailing company
would furnish the funds for it's con-
dation. From what he said we were
led to believe that the money will be
furnished all right. but by whom Mr..
Bradford was not at liberty to state at
that time. The commission is working
hard and hopes O 70 to be able to give
out something definite regarding the
matter. The nature of Mr.. Bradford's
VAoAV ~ oAbJOA OOunty was H0l th1uluE
to the %irrigating ditch to be constructed
near Bridger. Engineers for the COM
mission will be on the field in a couple
Of weeks and it is expected that active
operations on the construction will be.
gin in about three weeks. The work
will consume about three months time.
This ditch will water about 5000
QorpC Most 0f tho xx,nvl, u,s11 IN lD,,o
by the farmers who will locate on the
land through which the ditch runs.
The commission will give the settlers
the opportunity of constructing their
own ditch, paying them one.half in
warrants, which will be received at
the company store in Bridger for sup.
plies, and the other half will be re.
ceived in part payment for the water
right. The farmers. in this way. will
secure the water right at actual cost,
and the state will operate aud maintain
the ditch at cost, giving the former the
opportunity to repair the ditch if they
wish in lieu Of the payment Of cash. 1t
is the hope Of the commission that set
tiers will go upon the land as soon as
the surveys are completed so that as
much of the work of construction as
possible may be done by them. This is
the first time in the history of western
land settlement that a state has given
the people such an opportunity-that
is to pay for the improvements upon
their own land without the i%nterven-
ton Of profit takers.
Mr.. Bradford expects to return to
Bridger again this week.

Good Round Sum.
Butte, April 29.-A libel suit for
500, 900 damages was brought in the

The alleged libel was in connection
with the senatorial fight at Helena last

by reason of certain publications in the
Miner. The complaint characterizes
these certain published statements as
false, malicious, %unprovoked and de-
famatory.' Among the sentences
claiming to be libelous is the follow.
ing, "how desperate the conspirators
must have been is evidenced by the fact
that $50. 900 of Days money is turned
over to the state just to create the i'm.
preston that an effort was being made
to buy a seat IN the senate"
Objection is also made by the plain.
till to such designations as moral
leper. "conspirator." "perjurer" and
the like. The attorneys for the plain.
TIL are W. F. Sanders and T j. Walsh
of helena and Emmett Callahan of

IN VOLCANIC QUIETUDE,
No Changes in the strike Situation at
Wardner.


Boise, Idaho, April 3O.-The situa-
ton in the Occur d'Alenes today, &C.
cording to advices received here, may
be described as volcanic Quietude. On
the surface it appears that people gen.
orally in the Occur d'Alenes shudder at
the work of anarchy, and expressions of
regret come from every quarter. And
the fear is expressed that before troops
be gotten in other and more severe
blows will have been struck.
No news of an especially startling
character was received today by Cover
nor ~Steunenberg, but the spark is still
red near the key Of powder. While the
governor refused today to affirm or
deny that President Mckinley had
ordered troops to the scene, it is known
that General Merriam, commander of
the department of Colorado, has been
directed to command all troops that
may be sent to the Occur d'Alenes. It
is understood here that most of the
troops will come from Denver. but Gen.
eral Merriam has authority to call out
any Of the isolated troops in the north
west and they have all been notified to
hold themselves in readiness. It is
understood to be the purpose of the
governor to declare martial law as soon
as the troops can be gotten to the
scene, when a systematic effort will be
made to punish the rinRleaders Of the
mob.
What is feared is that there will be
daughter Of non-union men and de-
ltruction OF property IS oon Is it is
the soldiers are coming aud
hat martial law 10 to be declared.
