1t is no news that the rainy season
is now on, but it is a cheering indi-
cation that the crops in the Flathead
are receiving a benefit. Farmers had
pretty well finished up seeding when
these gentle spring rains commenced,
and the ground was really very dry,
but that condition no longer obtains.
The true dependence of the country
on the stability of the farm may not
go astray so far as coming events
are concerned.

The Helena Strike.

1t does seem rather strange that in
the year 1902, and in the state of
Montana, strike should occur over
the refusal of a corporation to recog
nize the right of men to organize for
self-protection. Yet that appears to
be the sole ground of the shutting
down of the East Helena smelter.
Ten or fifteen years ago it was not
uncommon for employers to refuse
to allow their employes-upon pain
of dismissal-to organize among
themselves for protection against
wage cutting and unfair conditions.
Lut that position by employers has
been gradually abandoned until now
the man or corporation who makes
war upon unions as such is rare
exception, and is looked upon as hay
ing failed to keep step with the
march of modern progress.
Particularly is it absurd for the
American Smelling and Refining
company to take this position. This
corporation owns practically all the
custom smelters in the United States
and Mexico. 1t is as complete a trust
as any in the United States. 1t was
organized for the purpose of doing
away with all competition, and to en-
nance the dividends of it's stockhold-
ers. 1t has ruthlessly shut down
smelters, regardless of the interest
of employees or communities wher-
| ever it believed that such shutting
down would be to it's advantage. In
brief, it cares nothing for the inter-
ests of anyone, and is as arbitrary
is possible for it to be.
And yet this corporation, this trust,
says to its employees, you shall not
organize among yourselves" 1t takes
the position that 1--WE have a perfect
right to organize for the enhance
the amount which we may make GUS
toners pay us, but you have not the
right to organize so that you can
make us pay more than we wish to;
no matter though we may not be gen.
erous in our wishes
There may be two sides to a ques.
ton involving the amount of wages
to be paid; and there is generally two
sides to the controversies that arise
between labor and capital, but there
is not and there cannot be two sides
TO the question of whether the en-
ployes of the East Helena smeltel
have the right to organize if they see
fit to do so. That is a matter in
which the employer has no right
whatever to interfere.-Great Falls

that field. The Record ignores time
and space in it's attempts to main
tain circulation in other fields than
Helena, and it is fact that the real

the illegitimate territory in the utter

Instead of sending for the sheriff,
it was the game warden who was
wanted at a ranch near Miles City
the other day. A boy saw two men
carrying a body into the Bow and
Arrow ranch, and having also heard
shots, surmised that a murder had
been committed and so reported to
the sheriff. 1t was an unlawful act,
however, and nearly akin to murder
to kill deer in April, and the game
warden should have no trouble to
make out a case against the offend
ers.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1902.
CUT OUT STATE BOARD.

The assessor of Lewis and Clarke
county is having trouble over assess
ing sheep in his district. The valua-
ton in that county is less than in the
adjacent counties, but the assessor
says if he raises the price f1ockmas-
tiers would drive their sheep into
that the state board of equalization
should be granted more power by the
Legislature and equalize the valuation
of all kinds of property throughout
the state, which would insure uni
form rating. On the contrary, we
think the state board of equalization,
as now constituted, should be wiped
off the slate, instead of being in
vested with extraordinary powers. 1t
is a useless combination, which plays
TOO readily into the hands of the cor
porations, especially railroads. A
congress of county assessors, indie
pendent of and superior to any state
officials, could better handle the valu-
alton of all kinds of property in the
state, and their estimates should be
fair and uniform, as they are individ-
ually responsible to their constitu-
ents at home Such a body could
meet annually and fix property values
according to the wishes of the major
ity, and a COW in Flathead county
would stand listing just the same as
a COW in Custer county, and all down
the line. But the better part of this
out when it came to putting fair
and uniform rate upon the great
railroad systems which traverse the
state. In the same proportion to the
actual value OF . COW critter, sc
should railroad mileage, rolling stock
and other property of the great cor
porations be listed in this state. Sc
long as the little coterie of state Off
Gals at Helena have the power OF
lessening values on this class of prop
erty, there need be expected small
relief from the burden of taxation
which now obtains and which is &
great set back to intending investors
in this state. The combined taxes
levied in nearly every county of the
state upon property listed by the as
SCISSORS, including school, city and
special taxes, amounts to as grea
per cent per annum as the interes
on loans obtained in the eastern
states. The remedy is simply in
crease the property valuation of tn,
railroad trust in this state to evel
half it's actual value and you will Sc
a reduction of one-half in the presen
almost intolerable rate of take
assessed against private firms and il
dividuals.

 In April 1902 the same authority carved up Imperial School District and established two districts known as Calexco and Blue Lake.
 Several school houses will be built and more schools will be established. It will be difficult matter for the authorities to form dis tricts and construct school houses as rapidly they will be needed by the rapidly increasing population.
 Water Power
 There is capable of being developed immense water powers at various points the Imperial Canal system. The water does not make very great drop at any point, but the volume of water is so great that large power can be gen. erated at a small drop. At low estimate 10000 horse power can be developed this sys- tenn north of the Boundary Line, to say nothing of other points in Lower California where addi- tional power can be developed when needed.
 The Imperial Light. Water and Power Com pany has been formed to develop the 16-foot drop four miles southwest of Imperial to fur nish electric light refrigerating plant and do- mestic water system for the towns of Imperial and Silsbee. This work is in progress.
 The Climate.
 much like that of the Territory of Arizona and particularly that of the Salt River Valley in Arizona The summers are hot and dry and the winters are cool and pleasant Probably no finer or more enjoyable climate can be found anywhere in the world than at Imperial during about eight months of the year-Autumn, Winter and Spring

 In summer time the heat will induce many set tiers to visit the Coast the mountains This is the case in all the interior valleys of California
 The Imperial climate is just as pleasant in summer as is that of the San Joaquin Valley and not much warmer than that of San Bernardino Redlands Riverside

In fact they are plentiful that it is everyday occurrence for good-szed carp to be found stranded in the field as result of irrigation. It is not uncommon thing for rancher to gather in his fields while irrigating more of good fish. This way of catching them may not be exactly professional from sportsman's point of view, but it is easy.
 No place in California furnishes such fine op- portunity for the use of steam naph ha launch. There are several lakes that will furnish excel lent sport in this way in addition to hundreds of miles of canals that form means of water com municaton to all parts of that country.
 As to hunting, wild ducks more than abun- dant, and ouais plenty.

 The foregoing is a brief statement of facts rela tive to the building up of the greatest irrigated settlement in the United States.
 If the reader is interested in this subject and would like to secure home in that country, make an investment that is certain to prove very profitable by securing title to tract of land with water stock for the same that must very rapidly double and quadruple in value, he should cer tainly go to Imperial and make personal exam inaton for himself.

 It is the rapid development and growth that makes rapid advance in values. soil and eli mate that will produce such crops are being fly command price in keeping with such produc- tions.
