Or. sudduth 10 Operating Reservoir
System With Success.
Billings, Jan. 12.-Dr. w. X. Sud-
duth, of Fairview. was in the city a
few days ago. He has just returned
from Park City, where he is feeding
large number of sheep and reports
them in fine condition. He Is one Of
the few stockmen in Montana who
has satisfactorily demonstrated the
feasibility Of establishing reservoirs
for the stora], Of water for irrigation
purposes. He has spent several thous-
and dollars in this way and in the
past season has irrigated large tract
Of land. and expects the next season
to cut as many tons per acre as the
farmers under Tue irrigating bitches
Of the valley. This brings to mind
that there is large amount Of land
through the Yellowstone valley, as
we'll as elsewhere, lying near the foot
hills that could be probably reclaim
ed by settlers at very small cost by
building reservoirs in the coves and
coolies to hold the melting snow and
rain, thus giving an independent wa
ter right at much less cost per acre
than many of the so-called successful
irrigating bitches throughout the val
ley.

Western Union Telegraph Company
Will Construct Line.
Before President r. A. Harlow, OF
the Montana railroad, left for the east
some time ago, Manager Taylor. OF the
Union Telegraph company at Helena,
took up with him the matter OF con-
structing a telegraph line to Lewis
town, and an agreement was reached
as to the advisability of carrying the
project through at as early
date as possible. Mr.. Harlow. who is
now in New York, will take the mat
ter up at that end before his return
to Montana, which will be in two
weeks. Mr.. Taylor was in communi-
cation with him by wire last week,
and expresses entire confidence as to
the outcome.
In conversation with an Argus rep
resentative at Helena a few days ago
Mr.. Taylor said:
"The Western Union fully recognize
es the importance of this matter to the
people of Lewistown, and we realize
also that it would be good policy on
our part to get the line through. 1t
may be taken as settled that the
line will be built without much delay.
The growth of Lewistown and the
country tributary to it has been such
that we are now justified in taking
speedy action. l would not like to fix
an exact date, because many details
are vet to be arranged, but the mat
ter is being carefully considered, and
you may be sure that We will give
Lewistown direct telegraphic commun-
ication before the end of the present
year."

A BETTER DAY COMING.

Congratulations are in order for those who were interested in the two splendid conventions which held their sessions in Montgomery this week. One, the Horticultural. was en- tirely State affair. but the fine at- tendance and the intelligent discussions demonstrated how much interest is being taken in great and growing industry.
 The Cane Growers Convention was composed of delegates from several States in which sugar cane can be suc- cessfully cultivated. From start to finish the greatest interest was manI- fested in all that was said and some of the papers and speeches are wor- thy of the widest publicity. Colonel Dymond of Louisiana, and Mir Roden- berry of Georgia, spoke as practical cane growers. and manufacturers. while Dr. Stubbs of New Orleans, Captain Rose of Florida and pr. Wiley of the Agricultural Department at Washing ton, spoke from the scientific as well as practical standpoint. Many other interesting speeches were made.
 Great good must result from such meetings, and there is great encourage ment in the thought that the greater the amount of attention given to such crops the less will be devoted to cot ton. There is no reason why fruit cul- ture and sugar and syrup making should not be the great industries of the South

KILLS GERMS or cArAaRH.
Hyemei Goes to the Root of the Das-
 ease and Makes Astenishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-eallsd system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply.
 Hyomei is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs in the air passages. it en- ters the blood with ethe oxygen. de- stroys the microbes En the blood and efectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison.
 Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy
 Mrs Le Rendu, 76 Western Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, writes: T believe Hyomei saved my life I am better now than | have been in thirty years. Many doctors, both in England and France. treated me for catarrh, but I was not cured until used =Hyomei'
 Probably the strongest evidence that ctn be offered as to the powers of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh is the fact that F, G. Fowler will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. The complete fIyomei outfit costs but s1.oo. consisting of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will effect cure in ordi- nary cases, but for chronic and deep- seated cases of catarrh, longer use may be necessary. and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for soc.

NEW INJUNCTION BILL
RELIEVED IT WILL SATISFY CAPT.
 TAL AND LABOR.
Provides That Writ Shall, Not Issue Until Adverse Party to the Pro- ccedtngs Have Had q
 Hearing.

Washington, Jan. 26.--An important measure which is the result of con- ferences held during the past two months between President Roosevelt, Attorney General Moody. Commissioner of Corporations Garfield and represen- tatives Of labor organizations and cor porate interests, has been Introduced in the House Of Representatives by Representative Jenkins of wisconsin, chairman of the Judiciary committee.
 It provides that in labor disputes an injunction shall not be Issued until op- portnnity shall have been afforded the adverse party to the proceedings to be heard by the court and is intended as a substitute for measure pending in con gress.
 About two months ago. President Roosevelt entertained at dinner tho heads of several important labor or. ganizations. H. R. Fuller. the executive representative of several of those or ganizations.. Secretary Morton and Commissioners Garfield. The subject Of anti-injunction was discussed thor. oughly. The representatives of labor strongly urged the necessity for leg islative action to limit what they re- garded as the unfair movement at times against them.
 After full consideration. however, in which all present formally participa- ted, 1t was deemed inadvisable to at tempt tn limit the equity Jurisdiction of the courts. Neither the President nor any of his advise would consent to suggestions looking to limitations to the right of the injunction. believing they would be fundamentally unjust and therefore could not command the approval of congress and of the pcu. pie.
 Shortly after this conference. Com. missioner Garfield and representa- of the labor organizations discussed the subject in detail with Attorney Gen. eral Mooday. A measure embodying Ideas which 1t was agreed would meet the difficulty raised by labor organi- zations was prepared.
 The measure, 1t is explained, "fs simply to incorporate into law of edui- ty rule No. 55, and the application of t specifically to labor cases"
 Examination of the proposed meas ure by representatives of both labor and corporate interests showed that snch law would have met prscti- cally all the cases from which the la Dor organizations had complained. The measure was submitted to meua- hers of congress. including Represen. tative Jenkins, and being regarded as a fair adjustment of the matter and that it would meet the situation which had developed in congress. 1t was in- troduced in the House with the idea of furnishing to congress a basis of legislative action that was satisfac- tory to the interests of both labor and capital.

COTTON ACREAGE.

The Cotton Growers Convention in New Orleans was imposing as to num- bers. and every we'll wisher, of the Cotton States can but hope it will re- suit in great and lasting good.
 All the resolutions that can be adopt ed during the year 1905 will not do any good if they are not lived up to. The work. therefore. of the earnest men who met in New Orleans has scarcely begun. Not one out of a thousand of those who plant cotton was present at the meeting, and, therefore. are not bound by anything that may have been done. Those who participated in pri- mary meetings and pledged themselves to abide by the conclusions of the con- vention should. of course. make their words good. These. however. are but small portion of the cotton farmers.
 As to advisability of holding on to cotton now unsold. under any and all circumstances, there may be grounds for differences of opinion. The Adver- tiser is free to confess its fear that if 100000 bales of cotton of the pres ent crop are held and added to 5000. .00U, say, for this years crop, that low prices will prevail next fall There can be no reasonable argument advanced, how ever. against at least 25 per cent re- duction in acreage. In that reduction, in our judgment, lies the hope of the South. With the crop which that acre. age can produce ana additional effort hard times in the Cotton States.

no sympathy. He was within one or two votes of election by Missouri to band of courageous patriots has so far prevented, and from the outlook will continue to prevent, the success of his peculiar and exceptional methods.These purehearted. cleanhanded legislators have taken their stand at the instance of Richard Kerens, a gentleman who hates corruption and reprobates bood- ling as far as he can see them, though 1t must be admitted that his eyesight is trifie imperfect It Is no part of Missouri politics that hc himself has been and is candidate for the United States Senate. That Is another story.
 The outcome of the Niedringhaus campaign has a particular interest in Oregon for more than one reason. First. a lot of us came from Missouri, and the rest of us belong to the Show-Me Club. Second, our own Senatorial elections have been conducted with such invaria- ble and absolute freedom from scandal been greatly shocked by the extraordi- nary spectale at Jefferson City of candidate actually trying to get into the United States Senate who Is charged with having used money; and third, the Oregon method of bolting the caucus at critical time has been introduced there with brilliant results. So 1t will Dc seen that there Is a special bond be- tween Missouri and oregon--political, social and consanguineous. Missouri's grief at the mournful revelations at Jefferson City may be said to be in large part our own.
 The striking parallel betwecn our own State and Missouri ceases when the candidates and legislators of that State join In a conspiracy to elect to the Senate professional politician who accepts money from brewers for a cam patgn fund and who promises federal job as a reward for a vote. Missouri had not had Republican Legislature for thirty-six years, when it elected Carl Schurz to the Senate. That is probably the reason. But now hav- ing elected the Democracy with sur prising ease and dispatch. the Repub- lican Legislature fails to follow the virtuous example of Oregon, and trots out as it's leading candidate for Sena- tor the man who handles the stuff Oregon bleeds for the Missouri Legisla- ture. So did Niedringhaus and the brewers.

MOLASSEs.

Alabama is not a sugar-making State, but there IS no reason in the world why it should not be molasses- -mak- ing State. It is admitted that the greater part of the molasses of com merce Is made chemically. without even having been near sugar, sorghum or a plantation.
 To show that people do want mo- lasses. those who make a good syrup of ribbon cane or sorghum find a ready cash sale for 1t on the streets and in the offices at high prices. People buy it because they think it pure as they are afraid of the chemical syrups, how ever highly recommended.
 The lands of Alabama produce fine sorghum everywhere. and the ribbon cane grows well in nearly all parts of the State. It is very profitable crop 10 the farmer. more easily cultivat ed and prepared for market than cotton The farmers will have to look after all these side crops and money makers Cotton seems to have played out again. and many men will be afraid to way. Molasses to the extent of two to ten barrels Is good substitute.-Birm- ingham Ledger.
 If our friends of The Ledger had been in Montgomery during the past few days they might have changed their minds as to Alabama's sugar making capacity. Sooner than we are aware, perhaps. sugar making will be a great Alabama industry.

DYNASTY OF RoMANoFF.
Ruling Family of Russia Has Produced

Ruling Family of Russia Has Produced
 Many Strong Men.
 The reigning family Of Russia dates back to 1613. when Michael FedJrovltz. cended the throne. For a span of sev- en centuries the Russians had been under the rule of the Ruric dynasty. assassinated, and that gave the Ro- manoffs the chance they had sought.
 Michael FeodorvitZ reigned until his death in 1882 and was succeeded by Ivan and Peter l, who came to be known in history az Peter the Great. Seven years later. Peter became the sole sovereign. At the time of his death, in 1725. the Russian court was one demanded that the Hcrown should go to Peter, the son of Alexis, brother of Peter the Great, who had been put The other faction called for the crown ing of Catherine, widow of Peter the Great.
 The latter finally triumphed, but her two years. Before her death she nom mated Peter. the son of Alexis, to be her successor. In 1730 he was deposed and the crown given to Anne of Cour- land, daughter of Peter the Great and Catherine. In Peter II the male line of the Romanoffs became extinct. but the name was preserved through the accession of Anne of Courland. who was Ino EnOIuSE oI InS unfortunate Pe-
 Peter III was dethroned and assassi- mated in 1762. He was succeeded by his widow, Catherine II (the Great). She reigned until 1796. On her death in that year she was succeeded by Paul, who became a maniac and was assassinated in 1901. Alexander I was crowned and his reign continued until his death in 1925.
 The next in the line of accession was Nicholas I. For thirty years he ruled over the Russias and saw one of the stormiest of all periods of the coun- try's history. He was succeeded by Alexander II in 1855.
 The reign of Alexander II was full of vioissitudes. The nihilists had be- come emboldened and, though he freed the serfs, yet throughout his reign ag- itators were plotting his death. In 1880 a dynamite bomb was exploded under the royal dining room, and the only reason the Czar and all the royal they happened to be a few minutes later than usual for dinner.
 A year later Alexander II was assas- sinated. A nihillst threw a bomb uu- der his carriage. tearing him to pieces.
 His successor, Alexander III. was marked by the nihilists several times Tor assassination, but all of their plots failed. Many of them were sent to the mines of Siberia for life and others put to death.
 The present Czar came to the throne in 1894. Nicholas II is the eldest son of Alexander III. He was born in 1868. Just twenty-six days after he welded Princess Alix of Hesse. Only a few months ago a son and heir was born to the reigning family amid great popular rejoicing.

"czAR IS A WEAK MAN.~
"taas No Strength of Character" Says
 Ex-AmbassadOr White.

NAoS NO SNFcM8tm On CH&k3CIcE," SUyA
 Ex-AmbassadOr White.
 Ithaca, N T., special.
 Andrew D. White. former Ambas- sador to Russia and one of the best Informed Americans on Russian affairs. made today the following statement:
 If the Czar is a weak man. as the present Emperor is he can do very little. A weak man cannot know any thing about the Empire to speak of, because he is surrounded by grand dukes, women and others who tell him what they want him to believe and keep all the truth away from him which thsv do not wish him to hear.
 The main difficulty in the whole case Is that the Emperor is supposed to do al the thinking for 140,000,000 of people scattered over the largest territory pos sessed by any government in the world. with all sorts of different races, reli- gions and ideas, and this no man can do, least of all in a time like this.
 The simple fact is that the evils of the old system have now become abso- lutely intolerable. And when you add to that fact the sending oq of immense numbers of the best young men In the country to an utterly useless and wicked war and the pressure of taxa tion which grinds the people to the dust, you have a situation which none history could cope with. The Czar has no strength of character, no proper education and Is hopelessly unit to grapple with the situation.
 'No doubt the worst features of the situation have been kept from him"
 MT. White said 1t was likely the ad- visers of the Emperor would try to fol- low the policy of Nicholas l. who had the ringleaders of the insurrection of eighty years ago shot, hanged or sent to Siberia He did not believe that im- portant changes in Russia could long be delayed.
