MUSIC IN THE PARKS,

Although Duluth weather for the
spire thoughts Of outdoor recreation
there has been considerable agitation
in a. small way recently toward the
installation Of music in the city parks
during the summer. Thus far the
movement has not taken the complex
ion Of a campaign for outdoor enter
tainment. 1t is believed and sincerely
hoped that with proper agitation it will
eventually evolve into a successful
plan and will no doubt be offered the
sincere support of the citizens in gen.
eral.
OF late there has been something OF
a moral reform in the way of providing
entertainment for young people in the
city. II the park board will provide
a series Of summer entertainment for
the young Of the city, where they may
go and hear an elevating and enjoy
able program Of music there will be
little need Of curtailing the uses to
which it is claimed our parks have
been put in the past.

out Of twill come industrial peace 30
long hoped for by every honest busi-
ness interest In the Windy City.
NO STRIKES THIS YEAR.

The first day of May has come and
gone. This is the first May day in
a number Of years that did not bring
with It a number Of local strikes. With
the exception of the Timers union
every trade in the city has settled
down to business with a zealousness
that ought to insure continued in
dustrial peace in this community for
the year.
We do not know how much the bus
mess interests Of Duluth appreciate
the policy Of our local trade unions,
but We do know that they are deserv-
ing of great deal more credit than
they are getting. Just think of it,
here is city having SO trade unions
with a membership of 1000 and not
one strike of serious consequences for
1905. The voting population Of Du-
luth is scarcely more than 5000, so it
can be fairly estimated that one half
Of the citizens Of this city are connect
ed with the labor movement. What a
power for good or evil is this organic
alton Of workingmen.
The business interests that are quick
to condemn when labor is forced to en-
ter an industrial struggle should be
as ready to praise when labor is dis
III Fr1-
lowed the work of the Duluth labor
organizations closely for the past six
their movements for the purpose Of
ascertaining whether or not there was
to be clash this spring when work
was to start for the season. We pre-
dicted three months ago that no strikes
would occur, and with one minor ex-
ception our prediction has been found
true.
From the very beginning labor took
up wage scales with spirit Of fair
ness. Business reason and sound
Judgment prevailed throughout the
discussion leading up to the prepar-
ing Of the trade agreements, and now
that they have been accepted there is
every reason to expect a prosperous
industrial and commercial era for this
city. Without trade unions this happy
condition could not exist, for there is
nothing that will insure industrial
peace like the trade union. Unor-
ganized men may lay down their tools
at any moment on account of the least
grievance, or upon the word Of an as
sumed leader, but the union men are
restrained because Of their agreements
signed under their direction by their
direction authorized representatives.
Would it not be god thing for in
dustry If there were more unions in
this city?

After Mr.. Carnegie has unloaded all
the stigma of those terrible Home
stead" days upon wicked Pardner
Rrick. Mr.. Prick himself has gone to
making pious donations Of cemetery
entrances, monuments and the like.
He may write a book, too, on social
economics. To rob the people, shoot
some Of them and then get back your
credit by making them presents is a
neat trick.

IRRIGATION PROJECT i:
MUCH TO NORTHWEST
Much Interest in Buford- Tren-
ton project For 1rrigat-
ing Lands.
Great Northern Railway Will
Pass Through Greater Por-
ton of Best Lands.

A new irrigation project which
promises much for the Northwest is the
Buford-Trenton Reclamation project.
The United States Government has set
aside $550,000 for this work and the
active operations will begin inside Of
sixty days. When the work is COM
pleted some $4,000 acres of now aid
land will be reclaimed and the West
ern part of North Dakota will be at
tractive as the great valley of the Red
River and the productive lands IF the
Mouse River Loup. It is asserted that
the proposed dam and reservoir will
hold between 10000 and $4,000 acre feet
of water and the proposed canals viii
run north and south of the line Of the
Great Northern railway to point
about three miles east of Trenton,
North Dakota, from near Buford,
North Dakota, on the extreme west
ern border of North Dakota. This is
but the beginning Of tina extensive ir-
rigation projects which have been
planned by the government and indi-
viduals in Western Dakota and North
eastern Montana. which, together wi n
the Milk River Irrigation project will
reclaim thousands Of acres for settle
ment for agricultural purpose which
have lain barren for years, IN otter
and opportunity for the homeless Of
the East to secure homes of thei- own.
The fact that good agricultural .snve rn-
ment land is becoming scarcer and
scarcer makes these irrigation projects
0f S~oA@
and investor.
Irrigation in the Milk River Valley.
Montana Is coming for a big share
of the general prosperity of the coun-
try, and 1t will only be g. few short
years when she will rank with any of
the Northwestern states in agriculture
al greatness. The recent act of the
States in setting aside 100000 to-
ward retaining three or four hum
dred thousand acres in the Milk River
Valley Is but beginning a much vast
er development of this section as the
needs grow apace. Already the agri-
cultural worth of this to be famous
valley has been adequately demon
lowed the irrigation works already
established. 1t has been successful
ly proven that all kinds of agriculture
al products grow in great abundance
wherever irrigation is used. The soil
is naturally rich and needs only mois-
ture to make it yield prolifically. The
Great. Northern railway furnishes ade-
quate transportation facilities, it's main
line practically cutting the valley in
two. The fact that the government
has decided to begin immediate oper-
atoms will prove a great incentive to
the people of that section who have
always believed in the future Of their
country and will open to settlement
a. vast area of rich land to the home
seeker and investor.
