GIVE CREDIT TO CONRAD.

The following editorial is taken
from the Great Falls. Montana.

who Is so well known and honored
here for his enterprise, integrity.
and personal charm. Is one of
Montana's foremost citizens. Dur

Der of MoSby'S famous rangers:
In another portion of this issue
some accounts Is give of the great
irrigation plant installed in Teton
county through the broad-minded
and far-sighted business enterprise
of Hon. W. q. Conrad ofthis city.
This enterprise Is the largest
in the state up to date and
nearly equals some of the GOV
ernment's proposed irrigation
schemes. The Tribune IS assured
that Mr.. Conrad is even now busy
with plans that will result i'm this
great tract of land, which he has
redeemed from an arid desert and
made available for farms and
homes. being cut up into individual
tracts and settled with thrifty far
mers who will own homes and be
come producing and prosperous
citizen of the state. Only by such
transformation is itpossible for him
to realize profit or interest on his
investment, and he has steadily
kept this object in view through no
little misrepresentation and envious
comment by those who, unable TO
accomplish such beneficent results
themselves, would vet put any
obstruction possible in the way of
Others who could and would bring
the project to a successful issue.
1t Is not too much to expect that in
a very short time thousand fami-
lies will find profitable work and n
prosperous living on land which
only 4 few years ago furnished
nourishment only for a few bands
OF sheep, work for a score of herd
.erS and profit for their half-dozen
owners.
One has but to look at the land
above this ditch. brown and bare.
and not worth dollar an acre, and
compare it with the smiling fertility
of the land below, which has had
irrigation, TO realize what q great
increase in the wealth of Teton

The man who makes million or
two of dollars in Wall street but
transfers wealth from others TO his
own Golfers, but the man who digs
mineral wealth from the soil and
puts it into circulation or the man
whomultiplies the productive value
of land increases the sum total of
wealth in the world insted of
changing the distribution of wealth
already produced. Every man who
adds to the total of wealth in the
world by production deserves well
at the hands of his fellow men.
Among the list of these in wears to
come the name of w. CT. Conrad
will rank high, and of all the pro-
ductlve enterprises in which he
has engaged in the past with profit
to himself and advantage to the
State, none will reflect greater
credit on his name, or be a source
of more pride to his posterity, than
the land and irrigation project at
Conrad, which will change 100. 900
acres of desert into the sites for
happy homes and waving fields of
grain"

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PRIMARY.

The primary Is over and the
Democrats of Virginia have spoken
in the most authoritative and incon-
testible way. Asst was impossible
for all the rival candidates TO be
nominated, there is necessarily
some disappointment, and perhaps
IN some cases, heavy heart burn
ings. But in the face of an open.
fair and thorough canvass. and
quite full vote, all other consid-
eratiOns will soon give place to the
sense of submission TO the will Of
the voters.
1t has been suggested by some,
who were antagonistic to the pri-
mary system, that the effect of this
contest would be TO create disSen-
sions and animosities, if not splits
in the party. Toour mind nothing
Is further from the truth. To take
the most conspicuous case of all
that of Senator Martin-how diff
ferent does he now stand in his
claim to the senatorial chair, which
he will certainly get, from what he
he has ever had before.
Without rehearsing the story of
his election in 1898 or its perfume
tory repetition in 1899, there is now
no manner of doubt that he is the
choice of the Democratic party of
Virginia, and that he will have not
only the legal title that he hitherto
enjoyed, but every equity that can
be secured from the endorsement
of his fellow-citizens. If his cleo
ton had again been left to a con-
ventiOn. or a Legislature, no power
could have prevented great
number of people from believing
that the same influences " hich had
carried him in before we're taking
him in again, and that he did not
represent the bona fide choice of
the people. But now all of that is
wiped away, and Senator Martin
stands forth as the clear, square
and incontestible choice of the
Democrats of Virginia, and it is
worth to him all that this canvass
has cost, not merely to get this
endorsement, but to demonstrate
To the people that he is not only a
wise counsellor, but an efficient
debatOr.
There Is reason to believe that no.
thing less than the exigencies of
this great canvas would have
brought him out as the stnmp
speaker that he has proven himself
TO be.
Mr.. Martin and his friends have
every reason To be proud and happy
over the results of this canvas.
and certainly from them no muir
muir of dissentshould ever be heard
on the question of primary election.
The primary has been justified
from every point of view and
should now be regarded as an
established institution in Virginia.

My mother" said Mary Henry, was born in Howard County on Au- gust 3, 1903, and would wash a few now and then when let her, but we tried to make her last days as easy and comfortable as we could, and now that she's dead we're going to move away from here and move into a bet ter neighborhood."
 There was a typical Southern scene at the funeral. The centernarian, seven years ago, had selected her fu- neral clothes, all of white linen, and dainty lace cap, and had insisted that upon her death she be buried at Popular Springs where she was born and raised in duranee and where the spirits of her old masters could be about her. This last wish was re- spected to the letter. When she died on Monday she was dressed in the linen shorud and cap, and taken to Popular Spring, with the whole fam fly on the train except two.

You never saw such dinner! There was everything to eat you could think of, and all of us descendants were waited on by the youngest child of our old mother.
 At the coffin was crying, and somebody touched me. I looked up, and would you believe me! there was Miss Susie Warner, daughter of my old owner, with her arms around my neck! She said:

4 New Preparation Which Everyone
 Will Need Sooner or Later.

A New Preparation Which Everyone
 Will Need Sooner or Later.
 Almost everybody's digestion Is dis ordered more or less, and the common est thing they do for 1t is to take some one of the many so-called blood puri- fiers, which, in many cases, are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed. If the organs are in 8 cloggeo condition, they need only little help and they will right themselves Cath artics irritate the sensitive hnlngs or the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good.
 Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in con" dition to be readily digested and as~ simulated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what Is eaten and give the stomach Just the help 1t needs, They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the di- gestive fluids and relieve the con- gested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the" whole di- gestive system in condition to do the work When that is done you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets-give them needed help, and you will have no trouble.
 It's a common-sense medicine and a common-sense treatment, and it will cure every time. Not only cure the dis ease, but cure the cause. Goes about 1t in a perfectly sensible and scientific way.
 We have testimonials enough to fill a book, but we don't publish many of them. However-Mrs E. M. Faith,. of Byrd's Creek, Wis, says:
 T have taken all the Tablets l got of you and they have done their work well in my case, for I feel like dif- ferent person altogether. I don't doubt If l had not got them 1 should have been at rest by this tine." ! H. E. Willard, Onslow, Ia., says: "Mr White, of Canton, was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of 1 Dyspepsia, from which he suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself I wish you to send me a pack age by return mail"
 Phil. Brooks, Detroit, Mich., says: "Your Dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my case. I suffered for years from dyspepsia, but am now en- tirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. I gladly recommend them"
 It will cost Soc to find out just how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you Try them--that's the best way to decide. z &s 8'5 '5=s5.ss .z i.
