The National Irrigation congress
which meets in Missoula Sept. 25 bids
fair to be the most important irriga-
tion convention ever held anywhere
says the Livingston Post. The men
who have the management of the affair
in charge, report very encouraging
outlook for the three days session, and
anticipate large attendance. One of
the most important questions which the
congress will be called upon to consld-
er will be that of devising the means
to secure a storage and canal system
in the West. One of the plans pro-
posed is that of leasing public lands
for grazing purposes and appropriating
the money thus secured to the reclama-
ton of arid lands. One of the greatest
difficulties those interested in securing
legislation favorable to irrigation have
to encounter is that of interesting resi-
dents of the East with the possibility of
retaining the dry lands of the West by
irrigation. This meeting of men en-
gagged in solving the problem of re-
claiming the waste places of the West
Will go a great way toward famiiariz-
ing those who now know of irrigation
only as theory. Much good may also
be expected to result from a compari-
son of methods by those who under
stand the subject from a practical side.
Over $50 delegates will be in attendance
at the convention, and the occasion bids
fair to be a notable one.

The Hoffman Boom.

Hon. c. W. Hoffman of Bozeman is
prominently mentioned as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor next year,
says the Yellowstone Journal. While
not wishing Mr. Hoffman any success
in this endeavor, we do not hesitate to
say that the party in Montana could
go farther and fare worse. Charley
as he is Familiarity known among his
friends, is not unknown to the old tim
ers in the Yellowstone valley, and he
has many friend who while feeling it
a political duty to vote against him,
would crave the privilege of expressing
on the ballot the high personal regard
in which the man is held, in contradis-
tinction to the candidate. 1t is per-
haps too early to say now, but if our
next governor is to be democrat there
is no one of the misguided tribe that
would suit us as well as the Hon.

While it is estimated that the crop of

Butte's Good Move.

The great city of Butte, the metropo-
lis of Montana and the home of several
millionaires, has started movement
to raise 100000 by popular subscription,
which will be used in hiring a special
train to bring the Montana regiment
home after it lands and is mustered
out at San Francisco, says the Billings
Gazette. The plan is one that is being
tried by several states which wish to
show their appreciation of the bravery
and patriotism of their soldier boys.

A WORD FOR THE DOGS.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Is see that the
Examining Committee advise the sale
of the county blood hounds, and charge
that the hounds have been of no ac-
count. Let me relate little circum-
stance that happened in the west end
Of the county some time since. A
farmers wife discovered one morning,
that her purse with some Sl5 or $40 in
IL had been taken from her bed room
after she got up. She had reason to
suspect girl staying at the house, and
asked her If she had seen 1t. The girl
said that she had not seen it, and had
not been in the room. ''Then, said the
farmers wife, let's close the room up,
and when get back from DeGraff, we
will go for the county blood hounds,
and they will have no trouble finding
the trail" When she got back from
DeGraff, the purse was on the table
again. and the fear of the blood hounds
had done as much or more than their
presence. / with many others believe
II the Commissioners are reasonable, II
paying for their keeping, the dogs are
: good inve stment, and pay big divid
end every year on the investment.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

For a score of years it has pleased
providence to favor us with the pleas

our counters to our customers and pa.
irons, and we rejoice with you all that
it looks like we were to be favored
once more. We are always glad to see
you whether you buy or not, so come

ure in these 20 years of business than
is usually allotted to the Overworked,
uuderpaid business man. Possibly we
would have had more money if we had
had less Joy, but as we believe in
''smiles along the way" and sunshine
instead of shadow, we are happy. Now
come and see us. You may be of the
few that do not like us, and that may
be OUR fault; come and see us, we like
you whether you like us or not.

dy. Lust's Marion Candy is none too
good for our trade. From the baby
