Wreck on the Great Northern.

Glasgow, Mont, Oct. 15.-A disas-
trous wreck on the Great Northern
occurred at Kilva siding, a little sta
ton about 100 miles east OF Glasgow,
about 6 O'Clock today. The Great
Northern flyer No. ran into an open
switch, derailing heengine and three
coaches.
Engineer Hoffman, one Of the old
est employees Of the road, was In.
stantly killed, and Fireman Reyes
was seriously injured and slight hopes
of his recovery are entertained.
The coroner left on a special train
for the scene Of the wreck to hold an
inquest.
Some men on a work train are sup
posed to have thoughtlessly left the
switch open.
None Of the passengers were serl-
ously injured. but the baggagemen
and mail clerk were badly shaken up.
Hoffman, the dead engineer, was
one OF the most popular men on the
road, and his tragic death has been
the signal for genuine sorrow among
his co-laborers. He leaves wife
and four children, and also a mar.
ried daughter. Mrs. o. ID. Green Of this

The Railroad Survey.

Billings, Oct. l6.-The Burlington
surveying crew which has been in
the city since Sunday left today for
the northern country. The members
are very reticent as to what they ex-
pect to do, probably because most OF
them are not enough acquainted
with the facts in the matter. How
ever, enough has been learned To
know that 1t Is a crew sent out by
the Burlington road and that it Is
headed for Great Falls.
The crew was augmented by sew
eral other persons from Lincoln, and
more are expected during the next
few days The crew has camped at
a point about six miles northeast OF
this city where, according to one oi
the men, it will stay for the next
three or four weeks. 1t IL believed
that the crew Is to be met by anoth-
er crew coming from Great Falls just
north of this city, probably not over
80 miles at the most.

Contrary to the views of these gen.

land law has been an aid in building

made IL possible for the small stock
men, who are men of families, gener-
ally speaking, to live and prosper from
their herds, which they could not have
otherwise done.
In fact, there is some land in this
state that ought to be acquired for the
fencing aud the payment of taxes, and
il wouldn't be bad idea for federal
law OF that kind, properly safe-guarded.

nation impossible by canals or reser-
voirs.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-About 81

MHtlPltl AGAIN.

In our issue of the sth inst. we made
editorial reference to the presence of j..
ID. Whelpley in this state and his ar
ticle on the homestead law. Mr.. Whelp-
ley is special correspondent of the
Washington Star, and at that time was
IN Great Falls gathering information
for a series of articles on the land laws
for his paper.
Mr.. Whelpley evidently got well
loaded with Paris Gibson's ideas with
reference TO the operations of the des-
ert land act in the arid regions,
whether those ideas are correct or will
stand close scrutiny or not.
After being fully surcharged with
the enormity Of the frauds being per-
petrated under the desert land act, Mr..
Whelpley packs his grip and leaves for
Helena, from which point he writes
another letter To the Post on the in
iquity of this law, which letter ap-
peared in last Saturdays Great Falls
Tribune.
Mr.. Whelpley's letter is only re-
hash of what has appeared in the Tri-
bune for several months, contributed
by Mr.. Gibson and endorsed editori-
ally. AS a matter of fact the writer
uses one-third of the space in his letter
in quoting the views of "a prominent
western senator" which senator the
Tribune admits is Mr.. Gibson. We
mention this for fear If it really was IA
prominent western senator and his
identity left in doubt the opinion ex-
pressed might possibly have more
weight. Mr.. Gibson imparts nothing
new to Mr.'Whelpley, though he starts
out with the bald and nntruthful as.
sertion that "the desert land act is the
most iniquitous piece of legislation ever
placed upon the statute books" and
then he says:
without any perceptible increase in
our farming population during the fis
cal year ending June 30, over l,l57,0ss
acres of Montana's choice farm landi
were paid for and receivers receipt.
issued"
Now, no one need be a philosophe
or close reasoner to detect weakness il
every proposition offered by Mr.. Glib
son or his newly-found assistant, Mr.
whelpley. Instead of the desert lan'
act being an ubiquitous piece of legis
lation," we believe it has proven tn
most beneficial of all laws in buildin,
up the stock industry in Montana, an,
for that matter in the arid region as
whole, and IL has benefited the small
owner as well as the large, and in say
ing this we are not denying that ther
has been some fraud perpetrated in OF
tanning land. Yet,we believe the charge
of fraud have been exaggerated. In
