The first product of the mining de-
partment which has been added to the
Anaconda Standard, appeared in Tues
days edition of that journal. 1t is a
feature that will be appreciated to no
lnconsiderable extent by the Standards
many readers, and it is believed that l.
will contribute much towards attracting
outside capital to the state. Montana s
mineral resources cannot be too extern
sively advertised; they are greater than
those of any other state in the union,
and the possibilities of the future are
just beginning to be more fully realized!
Hon. H. F. Bartlne, ex congressman
from Nevada, has charge of this depart
ment, and summary of the affairs IN
the field of mining will appear in
the Tuesday issues of the Standard.
We predict for the department of min
ing of that journal most successful fu-
ture and believe that much good will re-
suit to every mining section in the state.
We wish it success.

Wool sold at 20 cents per pound in
Great Falls last week, and Democrats
are said to be exceedingly scarce in the
wool-growing sections of the state. 1t
is predicted that even higher prices will
be obtained, as there are clips of an extra
fine quality yet to be sold. 1t is so diff
ferent from Democratic days, when wool
went begging at 7 and cents, that the
sheepmen are about the happiest people
on earth. It is not difficult to Judge
upon which side they will be found in
next years campaign.

THE COUNTRY'S BUSINESS.

Because every prospect pleases, it is
the right time to watch most closely for
signs of trouble" says Dun's Review.
But it is not easy to find them when the
volume OF business is 63.7 per cent.
larger than last year and 1915 per cent
larger than in 1S92-the best OF all years
except the last-or when failures con-
tinue the smallest ever known; or when
exports OF staples begin to improve ma
terially; or when railroad business is by
far the best ever known; or when New
York bankers appear in international
operations, listening to Russ an in
quiry, and undertaking Mexican loan.
Even the industrial disputes incl
dent to the season cause less trouble than
usual, The largest Of them having been
settled by the TIN plate company. The
Bank Of England finds it difficult to
borrow more from this side, and frankly
raises its rate while this country begins
to ship fresh crops for which Europe
will run in debt. In str king contrast
with official and other wheat reports are
the recorded receipts at western ports,
S,0S8, lag bushels IN two weeks against
L. 739 last year. Exports, -four in
cluded, were from Atlantic ports in July
thus far 4,185,9l4 bushels against 4.O83,-
312 last year, and from Pacific ports
1,OlO,485 against 8O1, 100 last year, be-
sides 5O5,585 busheld this year from
other ports. Failures for last week were

year, and "a in Canada against % last

dress to his followers recently he stated
that his cause has the powerful support
OF the Democratic party in the United
States, and he encouraged his men to
continue the war against this country.
He even goes 80 far as to assure the Fill
ipino insurgents that some states have
arisen in their favor. His speech fully
justifies the official stat ement Of General
Otis that the only vitality left IN the
Tagal rebellion is that which it derives
from the encouragement received from
American sources. Aggie's hopes, how
ever, are in vain, and both he and his
Democratic allies will soon enough learn
to realize that the Democratic party is
not the whole United States.

NATIONAL vs.. PRIVATE CONTROL.

Elsewhere in this issue we reproduce
an article on irrigation work which the
Johnston Land company, ST. Paul cor
poration, proposes to carry on in eastern
Montana. The company proposes to
take up the abandoned project of the
Billings canal and complete it, reclaim
ing something like 10000 acres of arid
land, now owned in part by the Northern
Pacific Railway company and the state
of Montana. 1t proposes to do the work
and settle the lands, taking in payment
for the job bonds Issued by the state
arid land commission AS provide by
the Carey act. This plan has been tried,
but the results have not been altogether
satisfactory.
The irrigation of the arid lands is a
question of considerable significance.
The work is entirely interstate in char
acter, and therefore more of national
than state enterprise. Every lrrlga-
ton congress has reso we'd in favor OF
national irrigation and against the ces-
sion of the arid lands to the states, not
withstanding the strenuous efforts made
by a number of interested parties to
swing the conventions into an opposite
channel.
Should the efforts of these men pre-
vail, which is not probable, Montana
would be one of the greatest sufferers
among the several states, from such a
mistaken policy.
The subject of national irrigation has
a staunch advocate in Senator T. Fl.
Carter. and it is believed that some ap-
preparation will be made by the next
congress to insure the construction of at
least several storage reservoirs. Large
corporations are endeavoring to secure
control of the state lands, and the only
way these lands can be reserved for the
settlers is through the agency of the fed
era government. Let the government
take hand and construct these irrigat-
ing bitches instead of the large land
companies, who propose to rent the lands
10 settlers. The proposition is all right

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS,

The eighth annual session of the Ma.
tiona Irrigation Congress, which will be
held in Missoula on September 25, 26
and q, promises to be memorable
event in the history of Montana. The
question OF irrigation is not local one
and The Importance of the sessions of the
irrigation congress cannot be overesti-
mated. While we point with pride to
our great mineral resources and the
output of our mir es, we should not for.
get that every ton Of ore extracted from
our mountains can never be replaced,
and though the day may be distant we
are gradually getting nearer the end.
The future Of Montana depends much
upon the development of our agricul-
tural resources, and the reclamation Of
the arid lands OF the state becomes a
point OF great impor ance. The constant
increase in population of the United
States renders imperative the provision
of new areas where men can build homes
for their families and gain from the soil
a competency. If reclaimed by practical
systems OF irrigation, the area which is
now included and classed among the
arid lands of the several western states
will furnish homes for millions of people.
1t has been demonstrated that these ard
lands may be transformed into fertile
farms by utilizing the waters of the
streams and by the storage of water in
reservoirs during the food season, to be
used for irrigation later when the dry
season begins and the water in the
creeks becomes about exhausted. 1t is
proposed to bring the subject before the
next congress and to ask for an appro-
priation so that start may be made and
the project of constructing federal stor-
age reservoirs put into actual operation.
The subject of irrigation will be fully
discussed during the meeting of the
congress in Missoula. The meeting will
be open to all, and visitors will be shown
the practical working OF extensive irri-
grafton system.
1t is the duty of all to see that
the state is we'll represented, and those
who will advocate the measure in the
next national congress should be given
every encouragement and assistance
possible. The basis of representation is
as follows: Seven delegates to he named
by the governor of each state; four dele
gates to be named by the mayor of
each city of $4,000 population or over;
each city of less than $4,000 is entitled
to two delegates; each agricultural col
lege, two delegates; each organized lrri-
CATION, agricultural and horticultural
society, two delegates; each society of
engineers, two delegates; each irrigation
company, two de egates; each board Of
trade and chamber of commerce, two
delegates.
Although mining is our principal in
dustry, Philipsburg should not b. un-
represented, and there is no question
but what the mayor will name two of
our most prominent men as delegates to
the irrigation congress.

lost cause, and the most sensible thing
for him to do is to quit, because all Dem.

Smoking In Korea.

In Korea all men and women smoke.
They begin early. The pipe is brass
bowl, with reed stem four feet long
and brass, amber or glass mouthrlecc.
Accidents often occur from persons fall
ing with long pipe in the mouth, the
stem of which is driven down the throat
through the check or into the palate.
During the reform period, ;" after the
Japan China war, long pipes were for
bidden to the common people, and they
turned to cigarettes, which have be-
come rooted il the popular affection.
Native cigarettes, which are Of poor
quality, sell for cent gold for 20. Lit
tie cigars Of cigarette size sell for II
cents gold per 100.
American cigarettes are used exclC-
sively in the palace, and thousands Of
them are smoked there. This makes
them popular with the upper classes,
and the consumption Of them is very
great. The best Of them cost cent
gold each. The import duty on cigars
and cigarettes is 20 per cent ad valorem;
but, in spite of this, the American
manufacturers are gradually coming into
control of the market.-Chicago Times

4 curious feature about this eVolu-

hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great nojlcs. Not only
did it take quite a century to familiar

that has come down to us shows that
the L lmble classes were the first to use
it for shooting game Maximilian, ar
dent Sportsman that be was, tells US
himself that he could shoot farther and
with greater accuracy with his cross
bow than his keeper could with the fire
tube.
To prove this be tells rs the we'll

using firearms, and this at q period
when princes still used the cumbrous
crossbow and spear. 1t was only in the
