TAKING UP DESERT LAND.

Great Falls Tribune: Since the
opening of the Great Falls land Office
500 desert land claims have been iii
ed within the territory of this dis
trict. That is a total of 100, 900 acres,
provided that full claims were taken
in every case.
If the provisions of the law were
carried out in the proving up of this
land a very large portion of it would
be under irrigation, and growing crops
within the next four years.
That would be a most satisfactory
result.
If we were sure that the law would
be carried out on these desert land
claims we could point to the figures
from the land Office, and make loud
claims of the advancement which we
are making.
But as a matter of fact, few people
expect that any great portion of that
100000 acres will have running water

in four years, or in the immediate
future.
The people here understand, wheth-
er the authorities at Washington do
or not, that the great bulk of this
land is taken up, not by homebuilders
who wish to develop and irigate it,
but in the interest of those who seek
rather to prevent the irrigation and
development of the state; by those
who are interested in getting grazing
land for their herds rather than crops
and homes.
The men who come into Montana
for the purpose of making homes for
themselves will seldom avail them
selves of the desert land privileges.
They will take up homesteads, with
the intention of staying on them for
five years and then proving up at less
cost.
So intsead of being a sign of real
progress. the fact that 500 desert land
| claims have been filed in the Great
Falls land Office is rather an evidence
that quick action is necessary in the

HANNA AS HE is.

Decidedly a power in the senate,
as he is everywhere he goes, is Mark
Hanna" writes Walter Wellman in
Success. oddly enough, Hanna is
stronger now than he was a year or
two ago. Then there va a little
jealousy of him on account of his
membership of the kitchen cabinet at
the white house. The senate, remem-
mer, proceeds always upon the theory
that it is supreme, and not even a
president may dictate to it or seek to
manipulate it through a backstairs
agent. With the change at the white
house, Hanna stands on his OWE
merits, and these-frankness, good
humor, common sense, courage and
of late a power of expression which
has made him almost an orator-have
given him high rank. He is zen to
be solar, not lunar. Now he has pow
er and influence second to none in the
senate, and this is because he is Mark
Hanna, not on account of any n
else. The man with dollar marks all
over his ample person is dead, and in
his place is the man who wears his
heart on his sleeve and has more per-
sonal friends than any other living
American. He is now the most popu-
lar republican on the democratic side
of the senate chamber, the majority
senator who has the greatest inf1u-
ence with the men of the minority.
One of the greatest triumphs ever
won in congress was that which Han
ia achieved with his Panama canal
bill. When he began his campaign
all but five senators favored Mica
rague, but when the roll was finally
called, he had a majority of eight"

THE COST OF IRRIGATION.

Denver Republican,: In connection
with the reclamation of arid lands
by the national government there
will no doubt be many suggestions
for the construction of enormous
works costing millions of dollars. But
it is not to enterprises of that char
acter that one may look for the most
satisfactory results, except in COM
paratively few instances.
The act of congress contemplates
reimbursement of the irrigation fund
from the proceeds of the sale of lands
reclaimed, by any particular irrigation
enterprise. The price at which land
may be sold must be proportionate,
therefore, to the cost of the work
and the acreage reclaimed.
There must be something wonder
full about a great enterprise like the
Nile dam at Assouan, Egypt and if
the government does not seek to re-
imburse the question of cost need not
be considered in connection with the
value of the land. But in this coun-
try the government may some day
find al extensive dam and reservoir
system on it's hands, with no one &C.
cupying the lands that might be re-
claimed, if it embarks upon the on
struction of vast works the expense
of which will make the price of the
land excessive.
This is a practical question which
should be met in every instance.
While it is true that the available
quantity Of public land in the humid
region is becoming small, there is a
vast quantity of land under private
ownership, which can be bought for
$40 an acre and upwards. 1t may,
therefore, be a question whether
homeseekers would come to the arid
region in search of land if they should
be compelled to pay more per acre
than they could purchase farms for
in older states. They may be required
to do this, however, if they take up
public land under extensively built
irrigation systems.
Under the Colorado irrigation dis
trict law, this difficulty may in a large
measure be avoided, for the people in
the district can adjust the extent and
cost Of proposed irrigation works to
tLN amount ovid rrohoh1o yo1Izo of tho
land to be irrigated.

So far as heard from the PROPOSE
tion that the legislature name the
members of the commission which is
to collect and install the Montana ex-
hibit at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position seems to have been received
with great favor. 1t appears to be the
opinion that such a course would in
sure a thoroughly representative body,
no matter how it might interfere with
the aspirations of some distinguished
gentleman who are of the opinion that
in the distribution of largess they are
likely to be overlooked. Unless some
very weighty and important reasons
a be advanced to the contrary the
cours suggested should be adopted
and to make sure that there will be no
"renigging' it might be well to in
corporate the names of the commits
sioners in the appropriation bill.

WILL A PROFITS.
Steel Trust %Inaueurates System for

In a double circular, one to the
stockholders and one to the officers
and employees, the United States Steel
corporation has announced its inten-
ton to inaugurate a system whereby
the humblest workman on its rolls
may, if he desires, become a perma-
nent stockholder and share in the
profits of the corporation. The scheme
is the result of many months of prepa-
ration by the finance committee or
the corporation, and the circulars are
signed by George w. Perkins, chair
man. The plain is said to have orig
mated with Chairman Perkins.

he is a democrat, truly loyal to all
things concerning his party, except
that possibly he may not be quite so
strongly welded to the success and
political comfort of Senator Clark as
he then was. But in this he is, not
alone. Governor Toole may be reckon
ed as a fairly consistent and dependa.
BILE democrat, yet he loves the sena-
tor no more than does Mr.. Heinze,
neither do many other prominent
members of the party that could be
mentioned. Instead of attempting to
disown him, the Independent, Miner
and the others who are trying to read
him out of the party should be charit-
able and forgiving and by reason and
the fold, condone his lapses in recog-
milton of his past and great services
and keep him in line for the future.
Mr.. Heinze is a democrat, for, like
Sir Joseph, "he himself has said it,
and clinched his formal avowal with
a banquet at which he took occasion
to declare toallt he world that he had
taken the bedraggled old lady, Dame
to spouse. Subsequently
he left a trail of money extending
over the limits of the state to give
further proof of his devotion to the
alliance into which he had entered.
What more could he do to show him
self worthy of full fellowship. But
then,as matters have gone to show,
the Miner and Independent are not
all there is to the democratic party
in Montana.

The report of the legislative COM
mittee of the Montana Teachers as
ISOLATION shows that the state super
intendent was unable to hypnotize
that body into reporting in favor of
his pet scheme for a consolidation of
the schools of the counties. The teach
ers, or at least many of them know
from personal experience and observa-
ton that no matter what may be said
in favor of the proposition as applied
to older and more thickly settled CON-
munities to attempt it in this state
would be folly. Even generously dis
tributed as the schools in many of
the counties now are, great numbers
of children are compelled to travel
enormous distances in their quest of
knowledge of the "three RS" and to
combine some of the schools would in
effect amount to an exclusion from
attendance to many children. While
the superintendent may be relied upon
to attempt to secure passage
of such a law as he favors,
it = is to be hoped that the leg.
islature will promptly consign to the
wastebasket any bill having for it's
purpose the enactment of such legis-
lation.

HE is A

If Mr.. Heinze is the good republi-
can the democratic scribes of the
state are trying to make him appear
it is strange that he should have
spent so much money to elect a demo-
crat senator in Rosebud county and
given aid to the party in many other
ways in about every county in the
state. AS yet no testimony has been
brought showing that he contributed
$4,000 to the election of any repub-
lican, while it has been shown that he
spent that much in Rosebud alone.
Calling him n does not make the
MA a republican and much as they
10 doubt would like to be rid of him.
the fact remains that Mr.. Heinze is a
democrat, and one of the kind who is
always sure of a hearty welcome from
one or another of the different
branches into which the party has
resolved itself in Montana demo-
crat who attests his loyalty by the
| generous manner in which he puts
up" to use the expressive if inelegant
language of the predominating ele-
ment of that party. Two years ago
he placed his long purse at the dis
posal of one faction and helped to
win a victory that is still fondly re-
ferred to at every possible occasion
by the ones who were made che bene-
ficiaries of his generosity and modi-
cum of talent he may have. In the
last campaign he saw his former
friends and allies cheek by jowl with
the fellows he helped to defeat, but
still a democrat, he gathered about
himself a new following and once
more gave battle to the republicans
In this he was successful in his OWL
county, as is shown by the contests
for place between two factions of his
party there.
It may be true that he is entitled tc
no consideration from the new COM
bination that has been formed since
the campaign of 1900, but for all thai

WHAT is EXPECTED.

Meagher Republican: When the re.
publican party got control of the Mon.
tana legislature at the late election,
1t was upon the promises made
through it's representatives at the
state convention, held at Great Falls,
that a more economical administra-
ton would obtain than heretofore had
obtained under the democratic regime.
This was amplified by all the public
speakers during the campaign, and
relying upon the promises so made,
the republican party was placed in
control by the voters of the state.
Now, the members of the legislature
are expected to carry out the prom
ises made. There must be no ques-
ton about it; but few laws are at
this time required to be passed, and
what few are absolutely necessary
should be introduced at an early
stage of the session and should re-
ceive prompt consideration by the
several cOmmlCCeeS n without my
delay put upon their final passage.
This must be done with as few at
tachees as will be consistent with a
substantial administration of state af-
fairs. Heretofore, there has been an
army of clerks, type writer's and super
numeraries, with nothing to do but
gossip and draw their salaries. The
that manner of doing business.
The legislature must use economy,
do what they we're elected to do, then
adjourn and go home and relieve the
state treasury of the excessive bur
dens it has had to bear in conduct
ing a session of it's legislature.

change be anticipated. The Inde-
pendent may take exceptions to this,
but inwardly and honestly it knows
it to be the truth.
STILL SUITS US.

No Matter how his article may have
been received on the other side of
the ocean, General Boguslawski need
not primp his lips with the ~expecta-
ton that he will be called to respond
to an encore on this side. His turn
possesses neither novelty nor origi-
nality. Many others, men who have
been even better known and ranked
higher in the estimation of the world
have said the same thing in respect
to the Monroe doctrine, but in no in
stance did the American people mani
fest any intention of ~lessening their
regard for it or display any less in
tention of maintaining and u%pholding
it to any extreme that might be forced
upon them. Truthfully speaking, the
opposite has resulted as a usual thing
and the present will prove no excep-
ton.
Like the man whose utterances he
repeats, the general may consider the
Monroe doctrine a great piece of i'm
pertinence," but that will not alter
the esteem in which it is held by us,
neither will it make any difference
particularly whether even any zap
parent recognition" of that doctrine
is accorded by the European powers
in their consideration of South Ameri-
can matters. American recognition of
it will continue, which, after all, is
the principal thing and which seems
to give him and the other titled gen.
tlemen of Europe so much concern.

The Gazette fully agrees with
it's esteemed democratic con-
temporary, the Livingston Post. con-
corning the justice of a fellow-servant
law having a place on the statutes of
the state. 1t furthermore begs to call
the attention of the Post to the pledge
in this regard contained in the repub-
lican. state platform. If memory is
not deceitful it was a republican rep
re%sentative in the last legislature that
introduced a bill for exactly such a
law, but a democratic majority refus-
ed to permit it to pass. If, as is now
claimed, the senate should be in con-
troll of the democrats the Post should
do it's duty and stir up the upper
house to a sense of it's Indebtedness
to those for whom the Post pleads
especially, for another attempt will
be made by the republicans to have
a law of that kind enacted and at this
session.

When the Legislature gets down to
work and takes a hand at the job of

plea of not having received plenty of
advice. The men who consider them
selves competent to say just what sort
of laws in that respect are needed
are not at all bashful and their num-
Der is not small by any means. The
only trouble seems to be that no two
of them a agree as to what is need
ed and the legislature may find itself
puzzled whose advice to adopt.

Unless all indications fail, the en-

west coast of these United States
when the baseball season opens will
make the little affair down at Vene-

appearances it will not be a peaceful

interesting is the fact that Montana
will have a large and active hand in
the proceedings.
