Welt a friend who understands the sltu-
alton and needs Of the West, and who
has learned by personal inspection the
marvellous resources of the arid lana
belt if once brought under irrigation.
Referring to the presidents character
and his promised visit to the coast next
year, the university chief said:
told him one of the ways to get at
things was TO look. AZ them, and he
decided that just as soon as congress is
through sitting he will come to the coast
and see what it looks like. So he will be
here next summer, and it will be worth
while for us to see him. He is coming
out to the coast to get acquainted. as ne

He is very much interested in the affairs
of this section. which is called the arid
section. He knows it Well. and he IS
prepared to take an active interest III

it, for he has lived and worked in it, He
is really the first president the West has

FRIEND OF the WEST.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the University of California, has just re-
turned from visit to Washington, where
he had a conference with President
Roosevelt. The message the president
brings back to the people of the west is
of vital interest in all the arid land
states, and particularly Montana. Re-
ferring to his talk with the chief execu-
tive, the San Francisco Chronicle says:
President Wheeler also brings to the
coast a statement of a part of the new
presidents national policy, which is of
Importance to the whole West. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is going to make the
subject of irrigation a great part of the
governmental scheme of national deyel-
opment The head of the state uniyer-
Sity discussed in particular with the
president this question of irrigation for
the West. He comes back after the con-
ference prepared to say that President
Roosevelt intends to take irrigation our
of the list of sectional matters and make
it national issue. He will embody in
his policy the reclamation of the arid
lands as a national duty to be UNDER
taken as much as the development Of
rivers and harbors One of the objects
of President Roosevelt's journey across
the continent will be to look into this
question at first hand, and add to the
knowledge of it which he gathered when
ranchman in the bad lands of Wyo-
ming.
These assurances should cause general
rejoicing all over the plains and valleys
of Montana. They mean that the valley
OF the Yellowstone and the vast plains
in many other parts of the state will be
brought under cultivation as soon as con-
gress shall be inclined to do for the West
one-half of what it is doing for the
East. One subject of congratulation is
that the people Of Montana and other
Western states have in President Roose-

HONESTY IN DEMAND.

A man named Carroll is slated to step
into the shoes of Richard Croker. Since
the Tammany chief fell outside the
breastworks democrats have cast about
for a trustworthy successor to fill the
vacant seat. The celebrated search made
by Diogenes for an honest man was easy
compared with the task New York demo-
Gratis have on hand. What is needed in
the Tammany camp is a man who is
guaranteed to stay honest and keep out
of the political boneyard which has
served as resting place for the last
corps Of the organizations leaders.

THE MARCUS DAILY MONUMENT,

Yesterday was the first anniversary
of the death of Marcus DAILY. His life
in Montana, so far as the industries of
the state were concerned, was one of
great deeds. 1t was under his mana ga-
ment that the Alice proved to be rich
below the water line 1t was under his
management that copper mining on a
large scale was naugura ted though
Others had begun the work on a small
scale. 1t was under his management
that the Anaconda properties, from the
Lexington 10 the Original. were bought
and developed. The upbuilding of Ana
conda and the cons truction of the great
est smelling plant in the world We're
among the achievements of Mr.. DAILY as
was also the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific
railroad. Ii was during the building of
the latter that Mr.. DAILY one day stated
to the Inter Mountain that up to that
time he had signed checks for labor and
supplies for the Butte companies he had
organized, amounting in all to $3.50 600 O0O
1t is true that Montana made Marcus
DAILY. but it should not be forgotten that
Marcus Daily did much for Montana,
The achievements above enumerated ara
alone sufficient to justify q monument
to his memory. Being man of ambi-
tious designs and strong character, he
naturally made both friends and enc
mics, but his death has abated resent
nent, and the people of Montana are be-
lieved to De willing to put into enduring
bronze an expression of their admira-
ton Of every noble quality he possessed
and t.leir recognition of every industrial
success he achieved.
Yesterday being the first anniversary
of Mr.. Days demise, it was appropriate
that his friends should meet and resume
consideration of the project for a suit
able memorial and decide upon it's char
acter and location. With that object in
view. the members of the monument
committee have called meeting for Fri
day night. The notice appears on a local
past
The failure of 4 previous attempt to
raise the funds required was in no degree /
attributable to any Indifference or oppc-
sition to the work. 1t was postponed
only because the soliciting committees
could give to intending subscribers no
definite information about the size cost |
material or location of the proposed
monument. Naturally, the friends of Mr.. |
DAILY desired a full understanding on
those points, but, as they had not then
been settled. both the committees and the
public preferred to wait till the subject
should be more fully considered The
people of the state, ever generous, had
the money ready, but We're entitled to |
all the facts before putting down their
names, in which view the several COM
nittees promptly and fully concurred.
Fridays meeting of the committee is
doubtless called to discuss the subject
in all its bearings and decide upon the
material, design and location of the
monument, as We'll as the opportuneness
of the present time to revive the move
ment With these points settled, the
rest may be safely left to the judgment
and generosity of the people.

STORY OF TINE MASSACRE,

A dispatch from Victoria printed in
another page tells, in the words of a
United States naval officer, the details
of the massacre of the members of the
Ninth infantry at Samar. The account OF
the fiendish plot is blood curdl:ng. 1t
gives a correct index to the character
of the Filipinos and indicates that too
great reliance has been placed in the
professions of friendship made by the
treacherous natives. Treachery of the
Filipino brand can only be cured by a
show of force.

Most Exact Man.

A singular old man has died in Vienna
in his 73u year. He died with the reputa-
ton of being the most exact man on rec
ord From his 9th year he kept accu-
rate account Of everything he bought, and
what he paid for it. In the u years
of his convivial life he consumed 2S,7S6
glasses OF beer. He gave up drinking IN
his 54th year, but he continued to smoke
constantly, even during his last sickness,
raising the number of his cigars to 62S.-
713 or an average of 1861 year. OF
the whole number some 43.50O were given
to him; he bought the rest for $12 500, or
about cents each.
