CAN INDIANS FIND WORK.

There will be general interest in the I
result Of the attempts being made by I
Indian Agent Bingenheimer at Stand
ing Rock to obtain labor for some
500 able bodied Indians, who have ap- &
piled TO the agent to obtain work for
them. AS a result of this application,
the agent has sent out a circular, call
ing upon farmers, contractors, and
other employers of labor to communi-
cate with the agent. and state whether
they desire to employ any of the In
dians. This is an entirely new de-
parture in Indian affairs, and will tend
to prove whether or not Indians can
compete in the field Of labor with
white men, and whether employers OF
labor desire to help them to make the
experiment. They are willing to
work on farms, as day laborers on
railroads, OF in whatever other places
their employers choose to put them.
In many instances, no doubt, the In
dians will be found inexperienced.
Laboring for hire is new to them, no
doubt, when off the reservation The
government can well afford to watch
this experiment closely and see whether
| it is in any way successful in solving
1 the Indian question. If the able
bodied Indian can obtain job as labor
/ ing man and hold it down, it will be a
step in the direction Of solving the In
dian question. In the narrower life OF
the reservation, many of the Indians
have been employed, but greater part
of their employment has been at haul
4 ing freight, and similar tasks. If the
4 Indian really desires to work, and can
find employment, there is no reason
a why he should not be found in any of
the ordinary classes of labor in future.
\ He might find work on a section crew,
!. or among the less skilled classes OF
I workmen on building, or as farm
hand, or in a hundred and one other diff
ferent ways. Possibly some trouble
will be experienced in obtaining the
] corporation Of employers. Many per;
] sons have an Unborn prejudice against
color, whether 1t be negro, Indian

STATE CONTROL OF IRRI-
CATION. -.s

y A controversy has arisen over the
irrigation bill which passed the senate
unanimously a few weeks ago. and IS
now awaiting the action Of the house,
says the Devils Lake Inter-Ocean.
President Roosevelt is reported to have
taken exception to that part OF the bill
which provides that state laws shall
govern andcontrol in the appropr ration
use and distribution of water Sena--
tor Hansbrough, the author of the bill,
is reported to have taken issue with
the president on this phase OF the
measure. He contends that state laws
must govern and control in all states
whose constitution and laws contain
specific provisions to this end. For in
stance the constitution of the state OF
North Dakota contains this provision:
'sAll flowing streams and natural
water courses shall forever remain the
property of the state for mining, irri-
cation and manufacturing purposes" "
Congress having accepted and ap-
proved our constitution, when the state
was admitted to the union, it is diff
ficult to see how the right to approprl-
ate these waters can now be taken from
the state. The purpose of the advo-
Gates of national irrigation is clearly
to authorize the federal government,
which is the proprietor of the public
lands, to come into state and con-
struct reservoirs for the conservation
OF the flood waters and to convey them
by canals or otherwise to those lands,
the waters then to be taken and dis
tributed by the settlers themselves un-
der such rules and regulations as they
may propose in accordance with state
statutes. The federal government
would have no authority, in North Da-
kota at least, to appropriate the natural
waters Of stream, but there is no
prohibition against IT'S conservation of
the waste or flood waters for the i'm
provement OF the public lands. This
is the object Of the pending irrigation
bill.
In so important a matter no, doubt
some way will be found to meet the
emergency.

LET US IMPROVE OUR oPPoR-
TUNITIES.

All the signs point to prosperous
year in North Dakota, beginning as 1t
has with plenty of moisture and ground
generally in perfect condition for seed
ing. In some sections there will be
little delay on account of excess or
moisture but better have delay than
deficiency of Moisture.
The rush of land-seekers to the
Missouri slope is unparalleled and Bis
narck, the capital of the state and the
metropolis of the western part OF the
state, promises to keep pace with the
general development of the country.
1 Al great deal depends upon our own
efforts. If We are so short sighted as
to fail to take advantage of our OPP
portunities now we may wait long
/ time for as favorable conditions to ex-
ist. Politics is an improbable occu-
patton for the individual as we'll as the
community at large. State and county
capitals are cursed with more polit-
E ical strife possibly than other cities,
I but Just ait this time it would seem wise
B to subordinate partizanship and fac
atonal animosities to business. The
energy Of wrangling politicians if COM
4 bined and exerted in the direction OF
the city's welfare will accomplish much
good. Herculanean efforts are being
B put forth by a committee of citizens to
! get new railroad completed into Bis
! marck as soon as possible. The un-
divided and unselfsh backing of the
whole city is necessary to bring about
speedy and satisfactory results. Every
cent and every effort expended this
spring will bring many yfold reward
later on.
7ss The way to build UP a city. is tic
~ built it. There should be no procrasi
nation. no jealousies and no strife ex
& eept as one community may exert to
wards another in the race for suprem
acy.
