BERLIN WATER.

1t is just seventeen years ago that water
was admitted to the main that brought
Berlin pond to this city Three years later,
so great had been the benefits of the water
and 30 large the demand, second main
was voted which was laid the following
year. The increase in the use OF the water
has been continuous and its application to
mechanical purposes has been restricted in
order to meet the growing demand for do
mestic use.
The works have been during all this time
under the watchful and efficient supervis-
ion OF Joel Foster, who has had charge both
Of the construction and the administration
OF the system. His annual reports show
how this municipal enterprise, entered
upon after a generation OF agitation, has
been rich source Of revenue, and how the
surplus over the cost Of maintenance and
extension has steadily reduced the outlay
for construction, and how this branch Of
municipal indebtedness Is in process of ex-
rapid extinction. Superintendent Foster
naturally recalls these things with equanimi.
ty on this anniversary occasion.

O7f-YtAR ELECTIONS.

The "register or YOU can't vote" slogan
is working full time in at least half
dozen states of the Union this fall. In
Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Ohio COVER
nors will be elected, and in Pennsylvania
a supreme court judge and state treas
urer will be chosen.
Many and various are the laws to
which citizens must conform in the
states where reelection activity Is in
full blast at this time. The constitu
tions of the various states provide a
variety of plans for choosing state OFF,
GERS. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island
a governor is elected each year, and i'll
Tennessee the members Of the legisla-
ture chosen at the coming election will
select all the state officials except gov
ernor. The off-year campaigns furnish
politics of an uninteresting sort. With the
exception of the interest that attaches
to the size Of the republican majority
in the state OF Ohio, and the curiosity
with which the political moves of Croker
are watched in Greater New York there
Is not much that may be called exciting
in this seasons politics.
In many of the states the interest in
the approaching contests at the polls is
not sufficiently great to draw party lines
closely or separate clearly the issues in
volved. 1t is predicted that under such
. circumstances the vote will, of course,
be light. Off-year politics have never
been productive of heavy balloting.
Ohio's record in this regard illustrates
this. In the Ohio election of 1886 there
were cast 1,020101 votes, and the follow
ing years election brought out only 1884,
O22 voters. In the Buckeye state an cleo
ton each year enlivens the monotony OF
life. Odd-year elections are for COVER
nor and on even years a candidate for
secretary of state heads the ticket. It's
q good guesser who can forecast the vote
of Ohio in the coming election, or &C.
curately estimate the result in any OF
the off-year contests.

CRltl'S CANAL SIZE.

A prospector whose operations have
been confined Of late to the hills Of Co.
lombia, has written to the state depart
ment disclosing information Of what may
turn out to be a very valuable find. He
informs the government that he has
found during the course of his wander
ings over the Colombian hills the bed
of an ancient waterway crossing the 18TH
mus of Panama between the two oceans.
and with comparatively little work the
ship canal over which so much fuss is
being made can be here constructed. The
correspondents name is Grill. His let
ter has been turned over to the Isthmian
Canal commission, and will doubtless be
given respectful attention. 1t would be
an amazing thing if this assertion of
the Colombian prosDector should be
borne out by facts. Sutro, who made
the great tunnel which bears his name.
came from a tailor's bench. 1t may be
reserved for a prospector to stamp upon
a page of history his name in enduring
letters and establish the fact that an
Isthmian Canal commission has some
thing to learn from severely practical
sources,

STATE LAND SALES.

Sales of state lands held by officials
Of the land department have not been
as largely attended or as enthusiastic
cally patroniZed as foes Of the land-leas-
ing system could have wished. The fail
ure. in instances to make a creditabe
showing at the sales of state lands, has
caused adverse comment in some quar-
ters and it is limited that a mistake was
made in turning from the system of
leasing lands to the policy now in use.
1t is evident that those who join in
criticism of the policy of selling the state
lands have not given thought to the fact
that it is impossible to determine the
merits of any system by such brief
and partial test as that to which the
policy of selling state lands has been sub
jected. 1t is the history of the settle
ment of every western state that settlers
move from tenantry to the more respon-
sible position of land owners by slow
processes. Ready money is compare
lively scarce among ranchers during a
larger part of the year. Indeed, during
the season in which crops are being pre-
pared for market there is not enough
cash in the hands of ranchers to more
than provide for current living expenses.
This condition of things explains in some
measure the lack Of patronage at the
sales Of state lands recently held
When state lands are disposed of in
Montana the purchase money will be- in
nearly every instance, the savings of
years Of hard work. The investments
made in state lands will be necessarily
slow in coming. To determine the merit
of the present policy Of the state land
department will require patience The
policy is not failure, by any means, and
will prove Its merit If given time.

noying scarcity of freight cars in which
to move crops to market. In sections OF
the Coast country crops are raised which
are unusually sensitive to exposure after
being harvested, and in the nature OF
things must be hurried to market with
all speed. If an index to industrial con-
ditions and general prosperity We're
needed, this complaint against the lack
of capacity of freight lines would fill
the bill. Crops are abundant. prices
good and the movement toward markets
so rapid that the channels through which
agricultural products move are clogged.
Not in many years has such hlghiy
prosperous condition been indicated; 1t
means that prosperity on the farms ana
ranches still remains at flood tide.

THE BOOKER WASHINGTON EPISODE.

Those who have INDUCED in criticism
of President Roosevelt for inviting
Booker T. Washington to dine at the
White house find that the executive is
not at all concerned over their retulant
complaints. Booker T. Washington is
the foremost colored man of his country.
He is engaged in work which is helping
to solve the negro problem and retire
forever the race question which has per-
picked the South since the civil war.
He stands for an era of progress for the
colored race which will lift the black
man out of his present condition, make
him a better citizen and train him IN
useful pursuits. President Roosevelt
has had reason to be familiar with the
work Washington is doing as the head
of the negro university and he would
have been lacking in true appreciation
of a distinct service to the country had
he failed in courtesy to the colored
man who, more than all other agencies,
is breaking down the obstacles in the
way to the solution Of the problem
which is the legacy of slavery days.

ANOTHER CLERK AT LEYsoN's
An Increase of Two Statesmen in Few
Months.

E. A. Clark, graduate optician and
high art engraver. has been added to the
selling force of ]. H. Leyson's jewelry
store this week. Mr.. Clark is a gentle
man of refinement and of superior social
qualities, as we'll as is his accomplished
wife, who has moved to Butte to reside.
Their former home was Springfield, Ill.
Mr. Clark is the second clerk Mr.. Ley
son has added to his force within few
months, due solely to increase of bust
ness; and that, too, in what is usually
the dull season with jewelers.. The re-
pair department has been kept so busy
that the artisans have had to put in
time at night as we'll as working all day.
The pleasing feature of the growth OF
j. H. Leyson's business is that this in
crease has followed his advertising In
the Inter Mountain, and in it alone. 1t
is significant, and worthy of note by
other merchants who may desire an in
crease of business that will demand
extra help. The Inter Mountain, with
out asking Mr.. Leyson's permission,
refers merchants to Mr.. Leyson person
ally for his opinion of this paper as
valuable advertising medium. The fact
that Mr.. Leyson has confined his adver-
