in mining circles was the action of

of all his holdings in the Tonopah

took place last week Tuesday. The

Mr.. Whitney has made hard

secure a sufficient amount decided
to sell his holdings.

AGAINST LAND LEASING.

The newspapers of Montana are
strongly and rightly opposed to
the land-leasing proposition as
means to advance national irriga-
ton. The Rocky Mountain Hus-
6andman, published at Helena,
discusses the question and vigor-
ously condemns the scheme in a
lengthy editorial. from which the
following are extracts:
The Elwood Mead idea of leas-
ing the land to get money for the
building of irrigation works builds
on a false hypothesis. Once the
land is leased it will be out of the
reach of the poor home-builder,
the man who will desire to irrigate
it, and whether or not water is
supplied will make no difference
to the general public.
In regard to the success of the
leasing of the State lands, we just
wish to say that it has fostered
upon the States mentioned a ruin
Gus land monopoly. These princely
land grants would be worth far
more to these several States if each
100 acres was in possession of some
deserving home maker. This would
give these States more population,
more wealth and more progress
and more substantial benefit than
that paltry sum of S25o,ooo rental
money this State receives. Land
leasing is a curse to the State,
however fortunate it may be to
the individual.
Land leasing is not for the poor,
not calculated to develop the coun
try, multiply homes, irrigation,
create wealth or make the nation
grow and prosper. 1t is in the in
terest of the few. 1t cannot, it
must not, prevail. The men of
this nation who are for the masses
must array themselves against it,
must stand shoulder to shoulder
The public domain is the heritage
of the people, and it must be pre-
served for the masses"

why LAND LAWS HAVE NOT BEEN BITTER

1t is very easy to understand
why our land laws have been no
better. In the first place, the
American people as a whole have
not understood the val, OF this
greatest item in the entire list of
national assets Until the last ten
years they have been systematical-
ly taught to believe that the arid
region is utterly worthless.
This has been the view of casual
travellers who have seen the local
ity from car windows in the course
of trans-continental journeys. Be-
cause the landscape presented a
different aspect from that of the
regions of their birth or residence
they assumed that it must be with
out value. 1t is a common human
failing to regard unfamiliar con-
ditions with distrust or even with
contempt. The first settlers OF
Iowa contended fercely for the
wooded lands, that they might
have the pleasure of cutting down
trees and pulling up stumps. Their
fathers had done so in the Eastern
States. Hence they had no con-
fidence in the treeless prairles cov-
cred with the deep, rich soil and
bearing luxurious crops of native
grasses. They shook their wise
heads and sagely remarked: Land
that won't grow trees won't grow
anything" In precisely the same
way those who regarded the arid
region specifically, and the much
greater public who knew it only
by hearsay, set it down as of nc
account. Therefore, laws govern
ing its disposal and settlement
were passed in just the form i'll
which they were presented by in
terested parties. What difference
did it make? The country was
worthless anyhow-so thought
Congress and so thought the peo
pie whom Congress represented.
But the enterprising men who
had penetrated this wilderness
knew much better Among them
were strong, forceful characters
who wanted laws we now know tC
be bad. This reason was precisely
the reverse of the one already
mentioned. They wanted a Ger
tain kind of laws not because they
thought these lands worthless, bu
because they knew them TO be the
most valuable lands in the world
For this reason they desire to ge
their hands on as much of thi:
public property as they possibly
could.
Between the many who did no
believe in the arid region, and the
few who did, the country had foist
ed upon it laws inimical to the true
interest of its people and in the
highest degree unjust to the gen
erations of the future who will
look to the now vacant West fol
homes and industrial independ
ence.-W. +. SMYTHE in MatWeH.
