equipment have been sent to Billings
for that purpose. If the government
would spend a little more money on
the star route service and not starve
contractors in the letting of bids for
the carrying OF mail IL would be doing
more good to the sparsely settled reg

The very enjoyable entertainment

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

However the people and the poll.
ticians OF the east may look upon the
proposition Of government aid in re-
claiming the arid lands of the west,
a number of leading newspapers are
taking a favorable and broad view OF
the question. Not long since the New
York World gave the matter a friend
ly boost and now comes the Chicago
Tribune in a broad.gauged proposition
as follows:
III congress will appropriate $780,
000,000 in 2 per cent bonds, to be used
in canal and reservoir construction the
money will be returned directly many
times in the increased value of the
public land. Indirectly. in trade re.
suits. the benefits will be permanent
and incalculable. As a matter of pub.
lie policy, the party which will take
up and boldly advocate an immediate
liberal appropriation will receive the
support OF millions of people now
homeless and disconnected. who de,
sire homes and the opportunity to
make a living by honest labor.
"a policy Of arid land reclamation
to be effective must he conducted on
q large scale. An appropriation Of or
ly $1,000, 000 would be childish. Two
hundred and nifty millions Of dollars
was voted without discussion for tho
Spanish war. This was for waste. In
