ed oratory, in which the notable par
ticipants were Thomas Everett, w.
M. Woolridge, W. B. Sands, A. S.
Lohman, A. Fl. Reser and Fl. II. Mel

Lower Milk River Water Users asso-
citation has already secured enough
petitions for water to insure the pledg-

"Clear the Way for Irrigation"
That was the slogan adopted by the
Milk River United Irrigation assoc
iation at it's convention this week in
Glasgow. The immediate and sweep
ing power of the law is to be invoked
to remove all entanglements sur
rounding the proposition.
The courts will be at once called
upon to decide for all time the exact
status and extent Of each water right
held and claimed by individual or
corporation in the entire Milk River
valley-n0t of one but of all.
The medium for securing the neces-
sary decisions will be the Harlem
Canal company, which is to bring
suit before Judge Tattan in the Tenth
Montana district court. The assoc
iation pledged itself to give moral
and financial support to the company
in the litigation. Some of the suits
will be friendly; others will be far
from that.
This decision to resort to legal
action was not reached by the con-
ventiOn without heated and, at times,
acrimonious debate AS expected
those in the small strip Of the valley
already irrigated were opposed to any
action that might deprive them of
any of their claims, but the asSOcia-
tiOn considered the veal Of all and
they were outyoted, largely through
the aid Of Harlem men who, also,
possess ditch rights, but who are
willing to make some sacrifices for
the good Of all.
Despite it's decision to resort to
legal action, the association will do
all in its power to secure just remun-
GRAFTON from the government for all
existing rights. 1t is hoped to, in
some way, be able to induce the
government to take over stock in
some Of the existing canal enterprises
iD lieu Of the cash payment that has
been demanded.
@. G. Babb and L. Savage, the
government engineers in charge of
the project, were present. however,
and declared that the only way to
insure actual work of construction
was to first clear a way all possible
legal complications, and the plan as

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE

AS temperance women, we desire
the right of franchise, because we
believe we could, thus armed, deal
more effectually with the liquor ele-
ment is always opposed to woman's
suffrage furnishes ample proof that
we are right in our belief.
Those who think that women
should have equal opportunity with
men in the medical field have rea-
son to rejoice, as little by little the
barriers built up by custom, prelu-
dice and superstition are being
swept away.
Those who believe in woman g
equality in the church may rejoice,
as one woman after another
is being elected as delegate
TO the General Conference CT the
Methodist Church with no posi-.
bility OF her being turned away be-
cause che is o woman.

In every civilized country the

We realize that in England
the rowing against the tide il ex-
ceedingly hard, but the temperance
people are rowing as never before.
Even in England there ara some en-
couraging features in connection

HOW ABOUT II?
Senator Dicki

There always was feeling OF
brotherly love between Davies and
Pike counties, and now the new
legislative apportionment will boost
it along. To say nothing OF the
advantage or the disadvantage po-
litically, the alliancs with Dubois
county was unsatisfactory. Dubois
is too far away. We doubt whether
ten per cent OF the voters OF Daviess
county today know the name OF the
Dubois county democrat who is

Heine's Pessimism.

The most pessimistic sentence
ever written is to be credited TO
Heinrich Heine:
Lo, sleep is good better is death !;
in sooth, the best Of all we're never
to be born.
Scarcely less cynical is his remark
"If | had my choise between a bad
conscience and a bad tooth, should
choose the former" On his death
bed Heipe said, "God will forgive
me; it is his line OF business. y
Thu. he expressed his desires:

Of the city, which was headquarters

Boston controlled and managed the

He thought that everyone should

that saloon keepers Of Indianapoli,
who violate the liquor law by sell
ing on Sunday could be arrested OF
the additional charge Of selling with
out a license. "a majority OF the
liquor dealers who sell on Sundays
in the cities use another room,
said the senator to-day. "They
have a license to sell in one particu
lar room. When they move into
another room they violate the law
because they have no license to sell
there"
The Indiana law maker is max
ing an aggressive fight in the inter
ests Of his measure known as the
"blind tiger" bill. In order tha,
the measure may be thoroughly un-
derstood the ser ator makes the fol
lowing explanation:
"Senate bill No. 274 is directs d
against blind tigers, club houses

sell liquor without a license. Under
the bill the punishment is $40 to

to the public who has the right tc
be protected from the consequence
Of illegal sales by requiring the sell

whether intoxicating liquors shal

"The fine for selling liquor to q
person twenty years old and undel
twenty -one, no matter how old ht
may lcok, is not less than $50, and
for each sale Of Intoxicating liquors
on Sunday not less than $40, bu
the person who is not licensed at al
