ANNUAL OUTPUT OF COAL,

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: It seems
strange that there should have been
almost a national panic on the coal
supply in the United States, when no
longer ago than last January the geo.
logical survey pointed out that more
coal is mined in the United States
than in any other country. our pro-
duction in 1900 reaching 1853, OOO, 900
short tons, valued at $3O6, 600, 900, an
increase in a single year of Z per
cent in the output, "thus fixing" the
geological department asserted, "the
United States firmly in the first place
among the worlds producers" The
report went on to say that the value
of all the mineral products in the
United States in 1900 passed the bill
lion-dollar mark for the first time.
But to what extent are squeezes in
this mineral wealth to be the rule for
the future? In this question the
American people are as deeply inter-
ested as in the vast yield set forth.

NO EARNINGS FOR WATER.

Minneapolis Journal: The supreme
| court of Illinois has just laid down the
rule that a railroad may not adjust
it's charges in order to realize a fair
profit on excessive bond issues and
fictitious capitalization. This, with
previous decisions of the courts, that
the basis of calculating rates may be
made to be the cost of replacing the
road, is a long step towards driving
the water out of the stocks and bonds
Of public service corporations. These
decisions leave nc room for the set
ting off of large issues of stock
against what may be called the pub
lie value of the road, it's value arising
from it's monopolistic nature.

wherever the increasing volume of

AS A RE MINDER.

The election is over and there is
nothing else to divert the public mind.
consequently the present is as good
a time as any to again begin think
ing about that wooden mill PROPOSE.
ton, which seems to have been al
lowed to drop out of sight. If those
who are in a position to do something
in the direction of making the project
a reality and transform it from a mere
subject of speculation into a concrete
fact and an absolute certainty have
been waiting to see the outcome of
the experiment made in that line at
Big Timber, they should be satisfied.
The success Of the venture there is
assured beyond any reasonable doubt
and the mill in operation is not so
large that it covers the entire field.
Therefore it is but reasonable to as
sumo that there is still room for one
more mill, and that at Billings.
Beginning with the intention Of
supplying merely a local demand, the
managers of that plant now find them
selves in receipt of orders from some
of the largest wholesale houses in
the United States and are confronted
with the very pleasant necessity of
having to increase the capacity of
their mill in order to be able to keep
nm with the growing trade that is
coming to them. Montana blankets,
made from Montana wool are becom-
ing one of the staple articles of trade,
not only in the state that produces
them, but almost everywhere else in
the country where there is a demand
for goods of that kind. If a mill can
be made a success at Big Timber n
at Billings should be all the more sue
cessful. This city enjoys the bene-
fit of greater and better railroad con
oections and in many other respects
has advantages over it's smaller
neighhCr to the west. Located at the
junction of two trunk lines and in the
very heart of the greatest wool pro-
ducing area in the world, it would
seem that it is an ideal spot for an
enterprise of the kind The Gazette
has been advocating for so long.

Some of the newspapers of the state
are inclined to manifest Impotence at
the slowness and deliberation which
marked the counting of the vote cast
at Butte last Tuesday. The impatient
ones should remember that habit is a
hard thing to overcome. The time
has been when it was necessary for
the democratic gentlemen in charge
of the election machinery there to
be slow and careful. The question OF
majorities elsewhere that had to be
overcome very often was a serious
and important one and Butte was re-
lied upon to overcome them. Hence
care and precision were required, and
those qualities are not always present
when great haste is displayed.

DEVELOPING ALASKA.

Omaha Bee: 1t is understood that
President Roosevelt will in his annual
message urge upon congress the ne
cessity of extending the land laws and
the system of public surveys to the
district of Alaska, in order that the
resources of that vast region may be
adequately developed. It would seem
that such a recommendation should
meet with no. opposition, for there ap-
pears to be no valid reason why Alas
ka should not receive this considera-
ton and whatever more may be nee
essary to the development of its re-
sources. It is a valuable region, that
has repaid many times what it cost
and every effort should be made to
render it still more valuable.
The common impression has been
that Alaska is wholly without agri-
cultural resources, but this is errone-
ous, the fact being that there is a
considerable portion of the region in
which agriculture can be successfully
carried on. 1t is believed that If the
land laws were extended there the
agricultural portion would be rapidly
populated and developed. There is
no reason to doubt that such would
be the result and this being so it is
plainly the duty of congress not to
withhold the means necessary to the

ment will not put the water upon the
land, but merely cause it to flow in a
high line canal, from where it can
reach the land of the farmer by dis.
tributing systems.
It will be necessary that the water
from this main canal shall be taken
out by the farmers, and the only way
in which they can do it economically
and safely is through the formation
of cooperative companies.
Regarding this matter, George H.
Maxwell, the irrigation expert and
worker, in a speech before the Omaha
Commercial club a short time ago,
advocated that it would be necessary
to have constitutional amendments in
the various states in order to cover
the points desired. He said:
"There are things that the states
ought to do, but those things are not
the adoption of complicated codes of
water laws, The states should es-
tablish a few simple fundamental
principles by constitutional amend
ment and judicial decision. 1t a
not be done by statutory enactment.
every state should adopt a consti-
tutional amendment to the effect that
the right to the use of water for IT.
rigation vests in the use and be-
comes appurtenant to the land irri.
gated and that beneficial use is the
basis, the measure and the limit of
all rights to water.
"In every state, in addition to this
constitutional amendment, decisions
should be had in the supreme court
of the state establishing this to be
the law, and also establishing the
doctrine that the same rule of bene-
fetal "applies to the rights of a
riparian owner as well as to the right
of an appropriation. 1t is the law of
our entire arid region, when correct
ly interpreted, and should be clearly
so declared by our courts, that a
riparian owner cannot prevent by in
JUNCTION d ulVeISlOu AiOu1 INC oCiooAA
above him unless it interferes with
some beneficial use of the water then
being made by the riparian owner"
The suggestion that a constitutional
amendment is needed in this matter
is a new one. Mr.. Maxwell has given
the matter thought and study and
his opinion is worth something. But
whether by constitutional amendment
or otherwise there is no question that
the coming session of the legislature
should give this subject attention, and
should take some action. 1t is the
most important matter that will come
before it.

NO POLITICS IN THIS.

Great Falls Tribune: The most
important work which will be before
the coming session of the legislature
will be the consideration of the irri-
cation laws of the state, and their
Improvement in accordance with the
spirit of the national irrigation law.
If this is not done Montana will lose
much of the value of the national aid
in the matter. and her irrigated area
will be less productive than would
be the case under the best laws.
There is no politics in this matter,
and there should be none. The
Tribune feels that it can address re-
publican members of the legislature
and ask them to give this matter at
tention, just as fifty as it can address
democratic members. We are all in
terested in the development of the
state, and this lisa matter that is vital
to it's development.
1t has ever been urged that in I'M
dertaking the first irrigation works
the government should show prefer
ence to those states whose water laws
are of such a nature as will insure the
best results. If this were done Mon
tana, under it's present laws, would
receive no aid for a long time. There
fore, it behooves the legislature to
give this matter early consideration.
The Tribune has no pet plan for
the improvement of the irrigation laws.
The basic principle of them must be
that the right to the use
of the water is vester in
the user only, and that beneficial
use is the measure of all rights to
water.
Further than this the laws should
be so framed as to encourage the
formation of cooperative canals and
distributing systems. 1t must be re-

The Helena Independent is entitled
to the highest regard as a democratic
newspaper because of it's consistent
inconsistency. In it's summing up of
the election of last Tuesday and CIV

which it so mournfully deplores, it
declares that the republican candi-

the Amalgamated company and then
adds that Judge Leslie was defeated

and reasoning is of the kind that COM

VERDICT FOR ROOSEVELT.

Omaha Bee: The figure of Presi
dent Roosevelt will rise to greater
prominence the more the late election
is studied and the more it's effects be.
come manifest. 1t is a noteworthy
event in any administration when it's
party al maintain control of the
house of representatives in the cleo
lions midway in the presidential term.
For more than a ~half-century the al.
most in%variable rule has been that the
party which has won the presidential
election has lost the house in the next
congressional election, no matter how
large the majority to be overcome.
It is safe to say that but for the
courageous course taken by President
Roosevelt at the very outset of the
active campaign in leadership of his
party on the corporation or ~so-called
trust question, the republicans would
certainly have lost the house. In adj
dition to the ordinary political reac-
ton which the republican party had
to meet, the pressure of the corpora
ton situation was an ominous fact.
AS the party in power, the republi-
cans were in position to be arraigned
for the results of the negative atti-
tude presented by the government to-
ward the evils of merged and con-
federated corporations, evils which
have lately been accentuated by in
dustrial developments. and which have
been particularly enforced upon pub
lie attention by the crisis in the an
thracite coal district. To have main
tanned the previous negative attitude,
it can now be seen, however it appear
ed at the moment in the light of ex-
pediency under the spell of corpora
ton manipulations, would have involv-
ed the party in certain and emphatic
defeat.
In the formative period of the cam
paign the president boldly and effec-
lively challenged the attention of his
party and of the whole people to the
duty of the hour and proclaimed that
corporations must be s~ubordinated to
public interest through legal control.
He proposed the substitution of posi-
tive and aggressive dealing for the
passive attitude of the government.
All the corporations desire is that
the government continue passive. The
growing conviction of the American
people is that positive resistance is
the sole chance of cure of the evils
complained of. That conviction in
stantly responded to the call of the
president, his sincerity being tested
and proved by his action in the con-
crete case of the great coal strike.
The response has been sufficient to
overcome the ordinary reactionary
forces which had to be met in any
event.
Such a stand required courage. 1t
involved instant antagonism with
powerful interests. That they venge-
fully struck back is obvious from a
study of the returns, particularly
from New York. Morgan makes no
idle threats and it is no thanks 70
him that President Roosevelt has Sc.
cured a verdict of endorsement which,
under the circumstances, has rarely
been eGualled.

cline STORES" ARE QUEER,
They Are Bull: Exactly on Boundary
Between the Two Countries,

sSSs
What are called cline stores" which
in many cases are so designated by
large sign boards, are a we'll known
institution along the boundary be-
tween Canada and Maine. The gov
ernments of both Canada and the
United States look with suspicious
eyes upon these stores, and there
has been more or less talk of joints
action to prevent the erection of any
buildings upon the boundary line.
The line stores on the Quebec Dor.
der are usually built exactly on the
boundary line, and are double stores.
The boundary line is marked by iron
posts, and sometimes a store is built
over II of these posts, which pro-
trudes from the middle Of tie ho,r.
There is a door on eacl side Of the
line, with which line the shelves and
counters run parallel, and thus there
is a Canadian store and an American
stole, each with it's own entrance.
On the Canadian side are Canada.
goods, such as woolens, blankets,
dress goods, ready-made clothing. fur
coats n robes, carpeting, buttons,
sugar and some lines Of hardware.
On the American side are cotton
goods, prints, Yankee notions, tobac-
co, jewelry, kerosene oil, etc., and on
this side farm produce is taken in
exchange. The Canadian and the
American goods are kept each on
their own side, and no attempt is
made to conceal the fact that both
are there. The Canadian customer
can go in at the Canadian door, pur-
chase Canadian goods on. the Cana
dian side and go out again without
having crossed the boundary line at
all, and the American customer can
do the same on his side; but, while
the s~torekeepers keep the two. classes
Of goods separate, they do not ask
the customers any questions, and
they can buy at either counter and
make their exit by either door.
Stores of this kind are chiefly found
on the line between the province of
Quebec and the states of Vermont
and New Hampshire and the north
western part of Maine, but they are
not unknown on the line that divides
northeastern Maine frcm New Bruins
wick. They are always a mile, gener-
ally several miles from a custom
house station.
In some places there are two stores,
separated by but a few feet and con-
nected by a board walk, by which
goods can easily be transplanted from
n building to the other. 1t is a
very convenient arrangement for peo-
pie who don't mind lodging the GUS
toms laws. A provincial man can
step across the floor to the Maine
side and buy some tobacco, and a
Maine man a move across to the
New Brunswick side and get some
liquor, all under the same roof. Farm
produce can be changed from Cana
dian to United States produce in short
order. A manufacturer can get raw
material from both sides. Canadian
produce car be exchanged for Yankee
jewelry or notions, Canadian woolens
into American cottons, and so on.
OF course, it is not admitted that
the line houses were built for snug
Cling purposes-but they are there
right on the line, and it would be a
great relief to the two governments
if they were not there.-Brooklyn
