4 Controversy Over Water.

1t appears that ranchers along the
Milk river are having trouble over the
division Of water in that stream.
About a week ago they were notified
that the rights of Fort Belknap In
dams to 5000 inches were temporarily
waived, and the result of that action
is described as follows by the Chi.
nook Opinion:
The water that the Indian agency
sent word vas at the disposal of the
ranchers for the time being, is prov.
ing a serious bone of contention
among the different ditch companies.
A meeting was held here Monday to
discuss the matter. Representatives
OF the Harlem company we're here and
made the claim that they had q secret
agreement with the Belknap company
by which the two companies would
divide the water that could be secured
from the agency. None of the Belkap
representatives who were preseu,
would admit any knowledge Of an
agreement with the Harlem people for
division of the water.
II vas stated that the Harlem com.
pany would bring the water rights OF
the North Fork companies into the
courts Immediately by injunction pro.
ceedings as the question of priority
between the North Fork companies
and the Harlem company is a matter
that is disputed on both sides. The
priority of the Belknap company over
the water-users is pretty generally &C.
knowledged and therefore the etfor,
was made by the Harlem company to
get them to agree to a division Of the
water in the Milk river. No definite
conclusions were reached at the meet.
ing. In the meanwhile all Of the com.
panies have opened their headgates
and are taking what water they car
get.
The agency has secured sutticien,
water for iris ating purposes for the
time being and is only using abou,
500 inches for domestic purposes.
Word was sent up by Major Logan
the latter part of the week that the wa.
ter vas for the time being free for The
white men and the scramble com.
menced at once.

STILL SAYS NO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT NOT TO
ASK FOR ANOTHER TERN.
Is Not Candidate and Would Not
Accept Nomination II IL
Were rendered HblE
- ~

Washington. April 2S.- During
the last few days-in fact ever since
the president delivered his "muck
rake" speech--a great deal of guff
has been written and spoken to the
effect that he is a candidate for pres
ident to succeed himself.
1t is known positively that such is
not the case. Mr. Roosevelt has no
intention whatever of being a candi-
date for the nomination in 1908 or
accepting the nomination if it shall
come to that. He regards his promise
made when he was elected two years
ago, to the effect that he would not
be a candidate four years thereafter,
as too binding in a moral sense to be
broken under any circumstances.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no idea, howev-
er, OF dropping out of active public
life. He is too vigorous and too anx-
ious to serve his country for that
When his term as president ends he
will ask the state of New York to
send him to the United States senate
That this ambition will be gratified
goes without saying. Senator Platt's
term will expire on March 3. 1909,
and Mr.. Roosevelt, if elected to the
senate to succeed him. could enter
the senate as a member OF that body
on the day he leaves the White
House.
If he becomes a senator at that
time he will enter the highest law
making body at the age of 81 years
and will rank among the younger
senators, so that there will still be
before him the promise of long
public career. The view generally ta-
ken at Washington is that after four
or eight years in the senate he will
again be a candidate for the presi-
dency, and if he should be reelected,
he would establish a new and inter-
csting precedent.

INSURANCE RATES
TO Be ADVANCED
Increase Promised Soon to En-.
able Companies to RecOup.
The Announcement Is Made After a
Meeting of Agents i'm
Chicago.
RATE Is YET TO BE FIXED.

Chicago, April 2S.-There will be
q general advance in fire insurance
rates in the business centers of all
cities of the United States in the
near future to enable the companies
to recoup In a measure their San
Francisco losses.
A meeting of all Western mana
gers was held Wednesday to discuss
the situation. The governing COM
mittee of the Western Union, the
large legislative body of the West.
decided that, in the face of the pres
ent conditions, an advance must be
made. Eastern officials had advised
their Western men to prepare for the
increase and the meeting approved
the plan.
Company officials meeting in the
East decided that the advance should
go into effect simultaneously over the
country. To that end they asked
the Western Union to send a com
mittee of five to New York to attend
general meeting to determine the ma
ture and plan of action. A similar
committee will attend from the
South.
President j. w. Cofran, of the
Western Union, said that the West
ern committee would be appointed
today.
II is stated that the Western
Union will see to ii that adequate
rates are charged on classes that are
now considered Improbable and
that charges for defects in risks will
be insisted upon emphatically.
Nothing will be done as to Chica-
go rates until the officials and man
ayers get together and decide what
plan will be followed.
The governing committee of the
Western Union has been reorganized
with Law Brothers, managers. the
Royal, as chairmen.
The local insurance agents when
asked about the matter said they
had not heard anything about the
raise, but they expected one would
no doubt be made, and at once.
When asked about what the raise
would amount to, none of the agents
here seemed to know what it would

Dynamite Eaters.

An American business man who
was on a visit a few days ago to a
mining camp situated near Monterey
was surprised and mystified to hear
one Mexican miner say to his COM
panion as they came from the depths
of a mine:
"Come over to the Cantina and
take some dynamite with me-
The American superintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
THAT was an invitation to take a
drink of some new brand of 1iquor,
as might be supposed" he said.
"Those two Mexicans actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
gerous substance"
1t is a fact that many of the Mex
ican miners of the peon class are dy-
Mantle eaters. 1t is a vice that is
rapidly spreading. j. c. Ford, a
prominent American mining man of
the Guadalupe Calvo district, said
concerning the new habit:
users of dynamite soon learn
that it is a powerful stimulant, and
that the effects of the intoxication
are pleasing, while they last beyond
the most excruciating fantasies of an
opium dream. 1t is said that very
soon the nerves begin to tinkle and
stranger dreams come than the weird
vision. induced by hashheesh. New
