appreciate assistance toward the pay
ment of the new floating war debt.
However, although no one is worry
ing over the payment of the war bill at
present, when the time for its consider
alton comes short shift will be made
of it. 1t is definitely known that Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach hopes that it may
be paid off in the year following next
year-190l.
If, however, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
had thought it wise to make an in
crease in the income tax it would have
been by no means the first time that an
action of this kind has been taken in an
emergency brought about by war. Such
an increase was made in the years from
1864 TO 1861 by Lord Beaconsfeld to pro-
vide for the extraordinary disburse-
ments caused by the Abyssinian war,
and in 1884 Mr.. Gladstone followed his
example with an increase of a penny
on account of the Bechuanaland and
Soudan expeditions. In both of these
years however, the income tax stood at
5 pence on 81, instead of al s, as at
present, the increased tax being the
result of the immense additions to the
British army and naval forces. AS for

Just Before the Battle.

tLcnuOD
1t is generally understood that many
dramatic speeches which great COM
manders are reported to have addressed
to their troops before battle were in
vented for them in after times by his
torianS and others. and indeed from the
limited scope of the human voice, that
they were impossible under the circum-
stances A naval commander has, how
ever. a better chance of being heard by
his ships company, and a few stirring
words on the eve of an engagement have
often had a good effect. That was the
view of a gallant commander, who, as
the enemy's ship approached thought
he would make a rousing British speech
to his men-his heart of oak.
So he struck up.
Send all hands aft. My lads, there's
the enemy. no doubt about it. And now,
my lads. if you don't take the enemy,
my lads, why, then, my lads-why.
then, my lads, the enemy will take you.
Pipe down."
After all few speeches have been
more to the point.

revelation. The most popular airs from
a score of grand and comic operas are
rendered in a fashion which exces the
best efforts of many of the leading
grand and comic opera companies. It
is an object lesson in ensemble singing
which has won for Black Patti and her

A GREAT ENTERPRISE
Plans of the New Dam and Ditch
Company.
THE CAPITAL INCREASED
1t Is Not a Stock Jobbing Schems-An
Immense Dam in the Missoula River,
Two Miles Above the Town.
No Bonus Is Asked For.

Missoula, Jan. 19.-The directors of
ganized in this city few days ago,
met this evening and increased their
capital stock from $4,000 to O,0G0
which latter amount the gentlemen
claim will be required to construct and
complete the immense system. In view
of a wrong impression that prevails
concerning the future movements of
the company, a Standard reporter to-
day interviewed Mr.. Cobban, president
of the company on the subject. The
gentleman cheerfuily impaired all re-
CURED information and placed the mat
ter in such light that it will be read
lily understood by all interested in the
matter.
ITO begin WITH said Mr.. Cobban,
you may say that it is not a stock
jobbing scheme for the reason that
none of the company stock is for sale.
Neither are we seeking bonus from
anyone. All we shall ask for is for
contracts with consumers of water
along the right of way at prices within
reason, such as prevail in the Gallarin
valley. for instance, and which rates
are lower by far than those maintained
by the big irrigation companies of
Washington, Utah and Colorado Once
these contracts are secured, we can
get all the money we need for con-
struction, and l feel safe in saying
right now that the dam and ditch will
be built, and when completed will prove
one of the greatest enterprises ever at
tempted in the West, consequently you
a G a a
in this vicinity. The physical portion
of the scheme consists of an immense
and powerful dam in the Missoula river
two miles above town at point al
most opposite where the powder maya
zines stand, and the dam will be no
cheap affair either, such as two prom
inent dam schemes in the state, which
l could mention, both of which have
been pronounced almost failures from
an engineering standpoint notwth-
standing. their immense cost of Con-
struction.
Our dam will be modern in every
particular, solid masonry being it's
principal feature. From this dam we
shall carry water distance of about
25 miles to a point below Frenchtown
in ditch 40 feet wide and 5 feet
deep, the line of which ditch will cover
thousands of acres of land now worth
less for want of water. For the south
side we contemplate ditch similar to
that in use in Salt Lake City, the water
to run in open bitches on either side
of the streets and into yards, lots and
acreage as desired. This later Is more
of domestic proposition, however, and
not to be compared with the big north
side scheme upon which our energies
are set. l notice the Standard questions
our estimate of water in the river. A
government survey and estimate made
last July when the water was at it's
medium stage, places the quantity at
$4,000 inches.'
Mr.. Cobban concluded his interview
with the assuring statement that work
on the structure will begin in earnest
within the next 60 days.
