In the recent report of Secretary
Hitchcock he dwells with some length
on the retaining by the government
OF the waste lands of the west. The
following clause of the reclamation
act is OF paramount Importance. "No
right to the use of water for land in
private ownership shall be sold for a
tract exceeding 100 acres to any one
landowner, and no such sale shall be
made to any landowner unless he be
an actual bona fide resident on such
land, or an occupant thereof residing
in the neighborhood. This great
west in order to be made the country
which it now gives promise to be
must not be built up along the old
lines of feudal landed aristocracy, but
must have for citizens men who own
just land enough to provide for them
selves comfortable living and little
something for a rainy day. The man
who owns his farm, takes pride in the
cultivation of the land and provides
comfortable buildings for his family

the parent of the feudal system, re-

The Helena rate association has
passed into history. The delegates
from various parts of the state met, did
their work, adjourned and returned
home. And while some there are who
would have the people believe that the
convention was fostered by connivinp
men of Helena for individual gain or
for the furtherancc of political aspira-
tions, such is not the case. Those who
participated in the rate convention
were sincere and earnestly hoped to
accomplish something that would event
ually be the means of casting off the
burden of taxation imposed upon the
people of Montana by the railroads.
This much they did, by perfecting a
permanent organization which will
delve into the merits of the case and
take such steps as they deem expedien,

of the bargain driver and nurtured in
the breast of the mercenary. The
giving of presents on this day is
good custom and an holy one. The
wise men from the east, who came to
worship the young child brought Him
gifts of their richest store. That, was
the giving of presents, but the word,

eliminated from the grown up Christmas
vocabulary and the word "exchange"
has been substituted. This is true
only outside of the immediate family

imbued with the spirit of Christmas

ent giving to account by purchasing
necessary wearing apparel. But. to
be sincere, if men were to truly and
sincerely confess the feeling they have
of approaching Christmas holidays, it
would be feeling of dread rather than
happiness. Not dread for the money
they spend IN giving the children a
Christmas tree and goodly share of
goods from Santa Claus stock, but
dread for the imperative demands, If

only such gifts on Christmas day as
are given with willing hand and from
