GREAT arid LAND PROBLEM.
Montona the First State to Build
Irrigation Canals.
80, 900 ACRES IS RECLAIMED.

Helena, Mont, Oct 14--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 commission, which was
created by the legislature, with power
to reclaim lands donated to the state
by the government under the Carey
1ct, celebrated the opening of the great
canal system in district No. A. There
were present, besides members of the
commission and other state officials,
members of the press and many repre-
sentative engineers and business men,
The canal, intended to irrigate 81, 900
acres of the Carey land, was opened
and water sent to it's mission of making
homes for the farmers District No. 4
comprises 80, 900 acres of land in the
Dearborn valley, Lewis and Clark coun-
ty- The state proposes to sell this land
in tracts of 16O acres to actual settlers
at only the cost of placing water upon
the land, giving ten years for payment,
interest.
Eleven thousand acres are now ready
for settlement. 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 it in perpetuity
for the sole benefit of the occupants of
the land and without profit to anyone,
making the enterprise entirely cooper
ative in nature. This is the first
irrigating canal on the American con-
tinent to be built and operated by a
state government and undoubtedly
marks an epoch in the great irrigation
plan.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, March 16-There were a number of very extensive advances scored in this mornings stock market, but the rises were by no means uniform. The conspicuous features of the market were Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhat- tan, among the local traction, and Bur lington in the Granger group. In the in- dustrial quarter of the market, the To- bacco stocks were the conspicuous feat ures, rising further on large transactions, which were again based upon the pros pective acquisition of the Havana Com mercial Company and of domestic cigar manufacturing concerns As regards the notable advance in Burlington, nothing further could be said than that the stock was again absorbed in large quantities, apparently by the same parties who have been purchasing the stock for some time past. The noteworthy movement In the local traction issues was not directly &C., counted for through the local traction is- sues was not directly accounted for through any commonly known develop ments. The issues of all the railroad com panies were notably strong. The course of prices in London seemed to be owing to the reported friction between the Brit ish and Russian forces in China, and al- so to the absence of more definitely fa- vorable news from South Africa New York Central was likewise in good re- quest.

General speculation held aloof but the market was quite active at times on a local basis.
