MONTANA Is SOLVING
THE ARID LAND QUESTION
State Builds Canal Reciainainw $4,000
Acres of Land. which WIN He Sold TO
Actual Settlers at Coat of Getting
Water on EnaY Terms


What seems to be good beginning
In the solution Of the great arid land
problem has been made by the State OF
Montana. The State Arid Land Grant
commission, which was created by the
legislature with power to reclaim lands
donated to the state by the general
government under the Carey act Friday
celebrated the opening OF the great
canal system in district No. 4. District
No. comprises 81, 900 acres OF splendid
land in Dearborn Valley, in the north
ern part of Lewis and Clark county, of
which Helena is the county seat.
The canal which is intended to irri-
gate, $4,000 acres of the Carey land
was opened and water sent on it's mis-
sion of making homes for the small
farmers The state proposes to sell
this land in tracts of 100 acres to act
nal settlers at only the cost of placing
water upon the land, giving ten years
Tor payment in ten equal annual pay
ments at per cent interest. Eleven
thousand acres are now ready for set
tlement and it is fair to say there is no
more delightful spot in the Rocky
mountain region.
The picturesque main range of the
Rockies skirts the western edge of the
valley and abounds in grand scenery,
fish and all kinds of game and timber.
and the land lies in small valleys sur
rounded by low-lying hills that supply
rich grass for stock. The state is
building the canal system and will own
and operate 1T In perpetuity for the
sole benefit of the occupants of the
land and without profit to anyone,
making the enterprise entirely cooper
alive in nature.
This is the first irrigation canal on
the American continent to be built
and operated by a state government.
and undoubtedly marks an epoch in
the great irrigation problem.

PRESIDENT SHOWS FUNERAL
ATTENDED BY THRONGS,
Six Thousand People View Remains at Bee
Hive House-Tabernacle Could Not Hold
Crowd-Interment at brigham City,

Crowd-Interment at brigham city,
The funeral of President Snow of the
Mormon church occurred Sunday. The
remains lay in state from until 9:45
at the Bee Hive house, where they
were viewed by about 6 200 people who
filed past in double row. There
seemed to be no end TO those desiring
last look at the well known features OF
the venerable president, and when the
doors were closed there seemed ar end
less chain of disappcin.e ted ones, few
OF whom, by earnest pleading, were
admitted to the presence of the dead.
AT 9:55 President Joseph f. Smith
and Apostle Young left the Bee Hive
house, President Shows residence,
followed by other church dignitaries,
apostles bearing the casket, the sons
OF the president, the seven presidents
OF seventies, presiding bishopric and
members of the family. The floral
offerings were carried by representa-
tives OF the church organizations.
Hundreds of people followed the
cortege from the house The progress
was slow because of the weight of the
casl.et, and the frequency OF the en-
forced rests of the pall-bearers
AT the Tabernacle grounds a multi.
tude of people were in waiting. From
the north gate rope was stretched
to the east end of the Tabernacle,
separating the public from the process
sion, which proceeded to the north
side and entered the editice at the en-
trance nearest the altars. When the
funeral party arrived, all excepting
the seats reserved were occupied, the
gallery and choir seats were filed, and
in every isle and entrauceway there
was crush of people. Outside were
thousands more vainiy striving for a
place where a glimpse of the interior
could be had, or word or note of mu-
sic heard. Every conveyance at Tenn
pie square seemed filed with people
going to the common point. OF the
disappointed ones many departed early
while more fingered in the grounds
until the services were at an end.
The Tabernacle was decorated with
white, entwined with autumn leaves.
On the organ front hung life-size and
life-like portrait of President Snow.
Beneath Nhe portrait was miniature
reproduction Of the temple in ivy and
immorteles. The services were inn
pressive and the singing of the Temple
and Tabernacle choirs exceptional.
AT l2:40, when the services were con-
cluded, the casket was borne to the
Short Line depot, where it was put
aboard special train for Brigham
City, where interment took place.
About $50 people accompanied the re-
mains on the train, composed largely
of high church officials and relatives.
The speakers at the Tabernacle were
Apostles Brigham Young, John Henry
Smith, John w. Taylor Rudger Claw.
Clawson and President Joseph f.
Smith, who paid glowing tributes tc
the departed leader. President Smith
recalled the fact that President Snow
was the last of the apostles who were
intimately acquainted with the proph
ct, Joseph Smith.

was not retained. This added to his
already weakened condition.
When Drs. Wilcox and Richards
were summoned Wednesday evening
they pronounced his condition as being

that time that the family fully realized
the extreme gravity of the situation.
Frequent visits were made at intervals
during the night At o'clock Thurs
day morning there was a decided
change for the worse, and at 9:3o the
conditions were little worse than
ever, and the end came at the hour

ANARCHIST MOST SENTENCED
TO ONE YEAR IN PRISON
For Publishing Editorial Advocating the
Murder of Rulers Which Appeared
Day After Mckinley Was Shot.


bay After Mckinley Was Shot.
Johann Most. the anarchist, was
sentenced to one year in the peniten-
tiary Tuesday in the Court CT Special
Sessions, New York city, for publish
ing in his paper, the Freiheit, an al
legged seditious article on the day fol-
lowing the shooting of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The article in question was entitled
murder Against Murder" and is as
follows:
"We know our enemies; we know
them all and everywhere personally.
There can be absolutely no excuse IL
they are again spared. Whatever
stands on the other side of the line
which divides the camp of the ruling
possessors of power from that of the
people has come under the ban. Let
the people carry out the sentence. The
road of humanity leads over the peaks
of barbarity. That is once for all
law of necessity dictated by the reac-
ton. We cannot get around it, since
we will not give up the future. If we
wish to attain the end we must wish
for the means, also; if we wish the life
of peoples, we must wish the death of
their enemies. If we wish for human
ity, we are obliged to wish for murder.
We say, Murder the murderers. Save
humanity by blood and steel, poison
and dynamite.
In his defense Herr Most claimed
that the paper containing the article
was printed and ready for distribution
before the president was shot. Also
that 1t was a quotation from an article
published fifty years ago and repub-
lished by him. After imposing the
sentence, Justice Hinsdale read the
opinion of the court, in which he
said:
ut is no answer to the evil and Grim
inal nature of this article to claim that
it was written for the purpose of de-
stroying crowned heads. 1t inculcates
and enfcSces the idea that murder is
INC proper TemeuY 10 De Applleu
against rulers. The fact that it was
published fifty years ago and again re-
published about fifteen years ago only
emphasizes and gives added point to
the criminality of the republishing of
it at any time. 1t shows deliberate
intent to inculcate and promulgate the
doctrines of the article. This we hold
TO be criminal act. 1t is not neces-
sary to trace any connection in this
article with the assassination of the
late president. The offense here in
the eyes of the law is precisely the
same as if the bloody event had never
occurred. The murder of the presi-
dent only serves to illustrate and il
Illuminate the enormity of the crime of
the defendant in teaching his diaboli-
cal doctrine.

Senior Estrada Palma to the request
for defnitioD of his views as to the

ident of Cuba, should not be interpret
ed to mean that Senor Palma believes
that the army ought not to be paid.

inspired by the loftiest patriotism.
With him, l believe that some formula
should be devised to pay sacred debt
without throwing heavy burden upon
the republic Moreover, the army list
should be revised so that tia exact
amount due may be known.
The Cubans had no thought Of re-
