Revival meeting is in progress,
and the religious feelings of our
people are becoming very earnest.
A few are becoming peniteHt, and
many serious faces indicate a gen

Mrs. Rachel Reed, who has been
quite i'll, is, we are happy to say,
able to be about again. Her alb
sence from the church has been
conspicuous, indeed.
The new assessment list of this

completed and hung up for inspec-

sion to-congratulate our friend and
good citizen, Mr.. D. H. Reed for
the neat, clean and convenient
way i'll which he has completed his
work. We differ i'll politics from
Mr. Reed, but we must say this for
him, we have heard less complaint
and more favorable comments upon
his work, and less appeals than
from any of his predecessors in our
memory, and the citizens bear me
out in the assertion that he mas
been the fairest and less partial
than any previous assessor we ever
had; and be this to his credit as q
business man.

ustalne during the interim between
their acquisition and the time when
their productiveness begins. The
only ones who can afford to do this
are the men of immense wealth and
who can buy tracts SO vast in area
that the man who simply aspires to
the ownership Of a quarter section
will be debarred from participation in
the benefits accruing from the recla-
nation of the lands, and instead of
affording homes to many the lands
will be held by a few. This might
lead to a system Of landlordry and
tenantry such as obtains in the older
countries and which is antagonistic to
the American genius that makes each
man his own landlord and tenant. It
is probable, though, that some system
can be evolved by which this likell-
hood can be overcome and that the
real intent and purpose of the contem-
plated law may be carried out.
By reason of it's simplicity and prac-
ticability it is indeed strange that
some of the many who are interested
in irrigation have never conceived the
Hansbrough idea and sought to carry
it into execution. The fact that the

FORWARD A PETITION.

If the people Of Billings consider
their own health of as much onse-
quence as that of people residing in
the larger cities of the state, they
would better be up and doing. AS
The Gazette several days ago stated a
bill is pending in the legislature for
the inspection of meat and milk Of
fered for sale as food. The bill pro-
vides that the proposed law s hall ap-
ply only to cities 5000 or more in
habitants. The Gazette with many
others is of the opinion that the bill
should be so amended as to bring all
incorporated towns and cities within
the purview of the act. Even limit
ed in scope as the law will be if enact
ed. a very strong and active Q opposition
to the has sprung up and
much lobbying is being done to defeat
the bill.
An appeal is made by DR.. Knowles,
state veterinarian, to the people of
this and other cities not included in
the schedule of those which the law
will affect to present petitions to the
legislature to amend the measure in
accordance with the recommendation
made by The Gazette recently. He
also asks that this be done at once and
as showing the necessity for such an
amendment cites the case of the Miles
City butcher who within the past few
weeks bought a lot of lumpy jawed
cattle which he slaughtered and Offer
ed for sale. Doctor Knowles says that
because lump jaw is not considered a
contagious disease no law exists in the
state by which possession Of animals
affected with it is prohibited. For the
good of the public health he urges
amendment of the law under consider
alton and very reasonably believes
that those who would be benefited by
it should manifest sufficient interest in
it's success to do all in their power to
secure it's adoption.
Here is an opportunity fol some one
to do the community a serv ice by Cir
culating the suggested petition and
forwarding it at once to Representa-

scALDED TO DEATH
Five. Men of Steamer Crew
Meet with Awful

San Francisco, Feb. THE new
steamer Ventura, which arrived here
today from Philadelphia, brings news
of the scalding to death of five of her
crew and the injury OF five others as
the result of the bursting Of one of
her steam pipes on the voyage.
The accident occurred January %,
four days after the Ventura left the
straits of Magellan. While four Of the
men were working about the engine
room the main steam pipe in the
port boiler burst. Instantly the en-
CINE room was filled with scalding
steam. The four men could not es-
cape, and to their cries Of agony were
added those of another who was
caught in a small compartment near
the boilers.
When the other members of the crew
were able to reach the men they found
them literally cooked to death.

WORTHY MEASURE DEFEATED.

Sir John Macginnis, the ambitious
young man from Silver Bow who
seems to be opposed to everything that
does not originate with his master,
Heinze, and who is apparently at Hell
ena only for the purpose of furthering
legislation calculated to enhance the
interests of the smooth faced auto
crat of the Stag works whom he is
serving, has taken it upon himself
to oppose the bill Of Representative
Stull for an appropriation to purchase
a site for an insane asylum. He as
sumes the position of Watchdog of the
treasury and says the state is not in a
position to undertake such a PROPOSE
ton at this time. While opposing legit-
innate expenditures, Mr.. Macginnis is
always ready to vote for any measure
that will tap the states treasury to
the extent of giving employment to
some political rounder as clerk OF a
committee that meets, Or vote
for a bill to place on the states pay
roll in any capacity anyone if he
thinks by SO doing he will in any posi-
BILE way further his W interests or
those of the man whom he is seeking
to serve. The gentleman's jealousy in
the direction of guarding the intere SITS
and welfare of the state is not SO great
as to make him appreciate the fact of

DAY and NIGHT
Senate Passes Pension Appro-

Up Ship Subsidy.

Washington, Feb. THE senate
had both day and night sessions today.
At the day session the pension appro-
priation bill, appropriating $144, OOO,-
600, was passed after a few minutes
consideration.
The ship subsidy bill was then
taken up. and MoLaurin and Morgan,
both democrats, made speeches upon
it. McLaurin announced his inten-
ton to support the bill and Morgan
opposed it in vigorous language.
He asked Allison for all estimate of
the appropriations for the present ses-
sion and the latter replied that he
thought the aggregate would be about
$3.50, 600, 600.
Hale expressed the opinion that the
figures would be nearly $500, 600, 900.

The first half of the present legis-
lative session expired yesterday and
only three bills have been passed by
both houses. All have received, the
governors signature. The first one
to be enacted was appropriating
money for the payment of members
and the countless clerks and other su-
pernumeraries the legislature employ
es. The second created Powell county
and the third placed the eight-hour
law on the statutes. Fault should
not be found with the legislature,
however, for it might have passed
many more in the same length of time.

BILLINGS COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Gazette wishes to congratulate
the public spirited gentlemen instru-
mental in organizing the Commercial
club. Billings has long needed such
an organization and now that one has
been formally instituted it is to be
hoped that the members will never
allow interest in it to lag. A>club of
that character can be made an i'm
portant factor in the upbuilding and
advancement of the city. While per-
forming the functions of such bodies,
it can be made more effective than a
board of trade or chamber Of COM
MERGE. Experience has proved that in
cities no larger than this it is impossi-
BILE to maintain an alert, active board
Of trade. No matter how. great the
enthusiasm displayed at first, interest
soon dies out and attendance at meet
ings gradually decreases until event
ually it ceases altogether and as an
organization the body exists in name
only. Not so with a club of the kind
now being considered. Being a social
as well as business organization with
cheerful and attractive quarters where
its members may gather to while
away the time and kill an idle hour,
attendance is always certain and many
movements Of Importance often have
their inception at purely informal or
social gatherings of the members.
They can meet there and in a casual
way discuss or suggest matters that in
many instances are destined to crysta-
lie into something tangible and as
sumo the form of movements calcu-
lated to be Of great benefit to the
community.
If the gentlemen prominent in the
organization so will it, the club can
be made an institution whose power
and influence for good can hardly be
estimated. Much work is before them
and many matters of communal in
terest require their attention.

should she attempt to carry her threat

place for the purpose of giving a prac-
