The citizens of New Castle are con
siderably agitated over communica-
ton which this week appeared in the
Avalanche addressed to the judge of
the district court. Why this COM
munication, written over a month ago
when there probably was some cause
for 1t, should now, when conditions
are tending more toward harmony. be
resnrrected and printed only the edi
tor of the Avalanche can tell The
Post knows the writer of the article
| and knew of it at the time it was
written but felt that the good people
of New Castle had already suffered
enough and that no good could come
from the publication of this com
plant. We have very positive ideas
as to the rights of men to work or to
remain in idleness as they choose and
we certainly cannot concede the right
of any man to interfere by threats or
force with the sacred rights of any
other man nor will we concede the
right of any man or aggregation of
men to so conduct themselves as to
precipitate reign of terror such as
complained of in the letter in ques-
ton but after this letter has been
sent to Judge Shumate and by him
turned over to District Attorney Gray
with the request that that official and
the sheriff make an investigation we
fail to see where any good can be
conserved by stirring the matter up
at this late day. We publish a pro-
test from the press committee in an.
other column.

Although we live in cou

Although we live in country
where irrigation is absolutely essen
tial to successful agriculture many
Of our farmers still entertain many
erroneous ideas in regard to water
and the laws governing it. Some
people-more than you would i'm
agine pretend to believe that the
water which they claim belongs to
them absolutely the same as the land
they cultivate or the horses they drive.
This belief is the foundation Of much
trouble. The water belongs to the
commonwealth and is decreed to the
farmers, or rather the use of it is de-
creed to them only in such amounts
as they can apply to a beneficial use
and their ownership of this water
vanishes the moment the appropriated
ceases to apply it beneticially. The
idea Of some people that they own or
monopolize the water which they
claim absolutely and unqualifiedly is
not based either on law or justice.
Inasmuch as there is every indication
of shortage of water the coming
season, it is essential that the greatest
possib BILE care be exercised in its dis
tribution and use. The Post hopes to
present during the summer some
facts in regard to irrigation and ilri-
CATION law which will be worth to
every farmer many times the yearly
subscription to the paper

The regular monthly meeting of the

the other making the annual appro-
priation for town expenses,

The proposition under consideration
by the railroad companies to abolish
the present schedule of passenger rates
and charge according to the weight
of the passenger is meeting with more
or less opposition from the people.
Judge Gray docs not look with favor
upon the plan as he says it partakes
of the nature of discrimination and
class legislation while VIM. Cross
and Jimmie Martin regard the plan
as altogether feasible and equitable
and there You are. These widely
divergent views simply prove the truth
of the stat ement that it is impossible
to please everyone.

A water suit in the district court
this week developed the fact that
there was scarcely any difference of
opinion between the various litigants.
These men never realized how
thoroughly they agreed until sum
moned before the court and carefully
questioned Then it developed that
the trouble was not very serious after
all. Ii some of our litigants would

yers' fees and use little common
sense and Cancellation in the settle.
ment of difficulties, while it might
prove little tough on the attorneys,
the would-be litigants would have
more money in the inside pocket with
which to buy machinery and add
much needed improvements to the
ranch. But why moralize? Human
nature is human nature and that's all
you can make out of it.

District Court

The most of the business of the dis
trict court this week was in the hear
ing of motions and trials connected
with water cases. The only criminal
case was that against James Dell
charged with passing worthless
check.
Judge Noonan appeared as Dell s
attorney and stated that his client
desired to withdraw his former plea
of not guilty and enter plea of gull
ty. This was done and Dell was at
once sentenced to not less than one
year nor more than Is months in the
state penitentiary.

About score of citizens met at the
court house Wednesday evening to
discuss plans for the coming munich
pal campaign. In the absence of any
other vital issue that old, ever ready
standby the water question was pretty
freely discussed. Some expressed
themselves in very positive manner
in favor of municipal ownership of
both the light plant and water works.
No definite arrangements were made
as to candidates but it is said an

another meeting to be held either this

FOUR PERSONS AND
TWO HORSES SHOT.
William in Ambush Attempts
the, Murder Of Several Per,
sons to Appease His Wrath.

About y O'Clock last Saturday
night, a william, hiding near the
brick house at Stratton & kIine's
place near the Fort, shot several
times at some persons standing by
a team near the dance hall, which
is about 200 or 800 feet east of the
brick house. A number Of shots
were fired in rapid succession with
a Krag- Jorgensen rifle. Raymond
j. B. Smith was shot through the
body and arm and will probably
die Lulu johnson (colored), also
called Red Top, twas shot through
the body. Arthur TrumbulI, the
driver of the team, was shot in the
arm and the bone shattered. John
Fl. Stratton was standing near the
stove in the dance hall when bull
let struck the stove, and parts of
the stove and probably the bullet
struck him in the thigh, inficting
only a flesh wound. One of the
horses was shot dead and the other
was shot in the left hip.
It is not known who did the
shooting but 1t is surmised that
colored soldier who had expressed
a grievance earlier in the evening
is the guilty party, and Sheriff
Layport, City Marshal Hilsinger
and a Deputy q. S. Marshal
went down to the Fort Monday

THE PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE

kALISPELL. Mont, Aug. 1O.-The

of its present main line in Montana in
favor Of a new route which starts north
from Columbia Falls to junction with
the Fernie. 3 c., branch at Rexford,
thence back again to the main line at

here, and it is possible that action may
be instituted in the courts to prevent

of the Great Northern is acting in viO-
latiOn of q state law which makes it
