CONGRESSMAN TO ADDRESS PEo-
PIE OF BILLINGS.
LARGE CROWD IS ASSURED
Hearty Welcome Is Awaiting Man
Who Opened the Crow Reser-
vation.

Wednesday, October IL, Congress-
man Dixon is billed to make a politi-
cal address at Billings
If there is one man in Montana who
is more deserving Of a rousing and
enthusiastic reception than an others
it is Congressman Dixon. To him the
people Of Montana, regardless of po-
litical affiliation. owe much, but this
county owes him particularly a debt
of gratitude for the very prompt and
satisfactory manner he disposed OF
the Grow Indian reservation segrega-
tion which had been hawked about in
congress by democratic representa-
tives from the state for years prior
to the time Mr.. Dixon went to Wash
ington as the states representative

trained in nature study and learn
agriculture, how to farm and garden
and do things with their hands, so
that If their inclination was toward
the land their education would be in
that direction, and not drag them
away from it into urban pursuits.
Il know men in this community"
he continued, "who came here with
nothing, except their strong right
arms and the determination to sue
ceed, and who are today rich, and
say to you that there are thousands
who are laboring in the cities, work
ing for daily wages, not knowing
when they will be idle and without
support for their families, who want
to get out into Gods country but
they got there. They have gotten
away fror Mother Earth; they do not
know how to get their living from the
soil, they have lost the art. Some OF
them have some money saved up,
enough to start with, if they could
start just right-not enough for
farm, but they want a home"
How to Make 1t Effective.
Mr.. Maxwell now outlined plan he
cherishes for the establishment of
colonies of instruction.. where practi-
cal farming and irrigation be taught,
to be composed of men who would
come out and rent an irrigated acre
or two and live on the land for year
or two, receiving the best practical
teaching possible, while at the same
time earn means while looking about
the country to secure 10, 20 acre or
larger farm, as the case might be.
To this end, he said, he was endeavor-
ing to secure the cooperation of the
transcontinental railroad companies,
and was hopeful of success. At pres
ent the companies were contributing
to the support of the National Irriga-
ton association and its crusade for
just land laws, fact that had caused
the enemies Of reform to attribute i'm
proper motives to him and the others
who were laboring in the same cause.
During the next five years the gov
ernment would spend at least $5,000,-
600 in the territory tributary to Bill
ings. This would mean that all
would get some of it. "If you peo-
pie of Billings want to derive the full
benefit Of the land that surrounds

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY GLEN.
DIVE RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
ALWAYS LIBERAL AND FAIR
Commend Him to Brethren Through
out the State AS Just
Employer.

While Governor Toole's candidacy
has the doubtful benefit of the en-.
dorsement Of a so-called labor party,
whose strength is generally believed to
consist principally of the professional
laboring men who were delegates
to the state gathering, the Honorable
William Lindsay has the prestige and
satisfaction of having received the
hearty commentator of an organized
body Of genuine laboring men.
Down at Glendive, Mr.. Lindsay's
home, is a branch of the International
Brotherhood of Railway Employees. It's
members are Mr.. Lindsay's neighbors
and many of them know him person
ally, while all know him as people of
a small community know one another.
His record as an employer is known
to every one in Glendive, and were
it not a good one, he would probably
not have received the unsolicited sup
port of the railroad men, or their
commentator, neither would he prob
ably have been made the subject OF
an earnest appeal for the support OF
others of the brotherhood throughout
the state
Tender United Support.
At the last meeting of the Glendive
organization the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That we tender our
united support to the Honorable Will
liam Lindsay for governor, knowing
him as an extensive employer of Ia
Dor and always liberal and fair in
his treatment of those in his employ.
We commend him to our brethren in
other parts Of our state"
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-10-04

both welcome you. But as a means
of opening our hearts it is useless.
Their portals are already open to re-
ceive you." In a playful manner his
honor called attention to the fact that
directly opposite the hall in which
the grand lodge held its sessions was
the city jail. Deep down in it's dark
est dungeon fires were burning and
molten metal emitting it's fiercest
heats for the benefit of the candidates
awaiting initiation into the mysteries
OF the Dramatic Order of knights OF
Khorrasan. From thence no sound Of
suffering could reach the outer world
to inform it of the tortures and ago
MES that might be imposed by those
to whom use OF the place had been
offered.
Supreme Representative ]. M.
Evans, of Missoula, responded to the
mayor. He regretted that he could
not reply in the same touching and
beautiful language, but in behalf OF
the grand lodge he thanked the
mayor for the welcome extended and
through the mayor thanked the people
/ of Billings for their hospitality. Long
acquaintance with the people of Mon
tana convinced him that the people OF
the metropolis of eastern Montana did
not differ in any respect from the rest
of the people OF the grand mountain
state. Hospitality, generosity and
charity were the characteristics of all
and a warm welcome waited the vis- {
itor wherever he might 60.
Mr.. Evans then devoted consider
able time to the order and the prin--
ciples upon which it is founded. II
men only accepted it's teachings they
would learn that there is more to be
had in life than the struggle for riches
and position. Thanks to the Knights
of Pythias and the other similar or
ganizatiOns having their existence in
the state he said men were outgrow-
ing the spirit of restlessness that
actuated the pioneers; the mad strife
for wealth and the possession OF gain

ont of place to refer to the productive
Doss of these cattle in the province of
Triesland. In 1874, before oleomar-

from this province 40,763 hundred

drodweight of butter. I quote these

canals and expended about $40 100000
for irrigation works. The annual in
come from the Government canals in
this province is nearly 100000. Pump
ing plants have been established to
raise the water to lands above the
Government canals. One OF these
was put in at an expense of SAT per
acre for the lands irrigated, in add1-
ton to which the farmers are re-
uuired to pay the annual maintenance
expense and $S2 per year for a cubic
foot of water per second. Irrigated
land supplied by this pumping plant
is worth three times as much as unlr-
rigated land adjoining. Under an
other pumping plant the annual ex-
pense to the farmers is $3.50 per acre,
in addition to $40 per year for a sink
ing fund, making an annual charge
upon the farmers of nearly SIG per
acre. And this also in a region where
crops can be raised successfully with
out irrigation.
The Italian Government disposes OF
water directly to farmers at retail In
some sections, and in others sells it to
cooperative associations of farmers.
One such association has IA 900 mem
bers, operates $500 miles of bitches,
has 266 miles of telephone and tele-
graph lines, supplies water to 14l 600
acres, and does an annual business OF
5000 900. Eighty water masters are
employed by the association to dis
tribute the water to it's members.
The farmers in this association pay
from SLIGO to SO per acre per year for
water, according to the distances of
their land from the main calnal and
the crops raised.
In addition to giving information as
to the organiza ton of the industry In
Italy, the bulletin describes the prin-
cipal canals of Lombardy and Pied
mont and gives details as to the struc-
lures for diverting water and carry
ing it over or under the streams or
canals crossed Drawings and pho
tographs of large number of struc-
lures are given.
Italian engineers have given more
attention to the measurement OF
water than any other body OF men In
the world The bulletin describes
the methods of measurement of water
in use along the Pc, and gives gen
eral discussion of the subject OF
water measurement.
The most striking points brought
out by the report are the large ex-
penditures for irrigation in a region
where crops can be raised without it,
the enduring and expensive nature
of the structures, and the efficient
cooperation of irrigators in using
water and in canal management.
Along each of these lines Italian ex-
perience is full of suggestion for
those interested in American irriga-
ton.
This bulletin can be secured on APP
plication to the Director of the Office
of Experiment Stations, or the Chief
of the Division of Publications OF the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
