Marriage aud Divorce Question.

San Francisco, Oct lion the as
sembllng Of the house Of deputies today
an attempt to take up matters on the
calander In advance OF their order was
promptly tabled. showing a disposition
to proceed with the regular order, which
gives first consideration to the canon
on marriage and divorce and other sim.
liar prominent subjects.
At 1890 the house went into commit
tee of the Wide on the new marriage
and divorce canon. An attempt to strike
out requirement OF section 3 that I'm
recording a marriage the clergy shall
state the ages OF the parties. was dc.
feated. A requirement that when prac-
ticable the parish register record should
be signed by the married parties and
the witnesses was after considerable
objection retained
Section was then adopted as a
whole.
This brought the controversy down
to the famous article 4. already
adopted by the bishops. which forbids
the marriage OF persons divorced for
cause not existing before their former
marriage-a practical bar 10 the re-
marriage OF divorced persons by the
Episcopal church.
Mr.. Lewis, Of Pennsylvania. arose 10
correct a misapprehension OF the pur.
port OF this canon. He explained that
II does not propose 10 prevent any one
at all from being married. IL only
proposes TO forbid ministers OF the
Episcopal church TO marry any dlvorc-
ed persons whatever, whose former
husband or wife is sim living.
Rev. Dr. Huntington offered an
amendment intended to except the in
nocent party 10 a divorce obtained for

AMID LAND PROBLEM.
Montana Celebrates Opening OF
Great Canal System.

Helena, Mont. Oct. 1l.-What seems
10 be a good beginning in the solution
of the great arid land problem was
made yesterday by the state Of Mont
ana. The state arid land grant COM
mission, which was created by the leg
islature with power to reclaim lands
donated TO the state by the general
government under the Carey act, cele-
brated the opening OF the great canal
system In District No. 4. There were
present besides members Of the COM
mission and other state officials, MEM
bers OF the press. including represent
tative Of the Associated Press, and
many representative engineers and bus
mess men. The canal, intended to irri-
gate $4,000 acres OF the Carey land, was
opened and water sent on its mission
OF making homes for the small farmers.
District No. 4. comprices $4,000 acres OF
SPLENDID land IN the beautiful Dearborn
valley In the northern portion Of Lew
Is and Clarke county of which Helena
Is the county seat. The state proposes
to sell this land In tracts Of 100 acres
to actual settlers at only the cost of
placing water upon the land, giving
ten years for payment In ten equal an
nual payments at 6 per cent interest.
Eleven thousand acres are now ready
for settlement and II is fair to say
there is no more delightful spot in the
Rocky Mountain region. The pictur-
esque 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 surrounded
by low lying hills that supply rich grass
for stock. The state is building the
canal system and will own and operate
II In perpetuity for the sole benefit OF
the occupants Of the land and without
profit TO any one making the entry
price entirely cooperative in nature.
This IL 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.
