THE wILLlsToN PROJECT.

A telegram to Senator Hansbrough
at Fargo from the secretary of the
Williston Water Users association an
nounced that the water has been turn
ed into the irrigation canals and the
project there will soon demonstrate
its practical use With an irrigated
area of twenty-five to thirty thous-
and acres of land about Williston, it
seems that prospects should be par
3ticularly bright for that western me-
tropolis and a few years should de-
monstrate the value of certainty in
crop raising by making Williston
and the surrounding country among
the prosperous communities of the
state. q n }sz.:z 81. Nh . s,. q {,

wealth achieved on a quarter of the
land now required and the minimum
in the state is usually held to be a
quarter seetion-then we have quad
rupled the ealue of the soil by add
ing a certainty of water. The growth
and development of the country in
the vicinity of this irrigation plant

THE COMMISSION System.

The experiment of Mandan with
the Galveston system is attracting
statewide attention, observes the
Fargo Forum. Among the many fea-
lures that its advocates claim for the
system is the one which makes ev-
cry man on the commission respon-
sible for his share of the work. I'M
der Its provisions there can be no
Sinking without the guilty man be-
ing shown up. Each member OF the
commission is responsible for GER
tain parts of the. city's government
and If things are not conducted pro-
perly he will be unable to place the
blame on anyone else. his fact should
ensure cleaner and more eeonomi-
cal administration. There should be
less graft and the members of the
commission will make it a matter OF
personal pride to see their part Of
the work of city government is con
Quoted in the best interests of the
public. 5.sa - :s.ss# HI sSs

as costly as rail transportation the
rivers will soon be pu In condition to
handle freight traffic and there will
be no need for any talk of govern
ment ownership of railroads or regu-
lations of rates and the question Of
freight tariff will answer itself.
The time will come when those
travelling for health or pleasure can
take passage on a floating palace at
st. Paul or Fort Benton for New Orr
leans with every luxury now enjoyed
on ocean steamers with ban of mu-
sic on every boat as in the olden times
on the Missouri river.
Hon. John Barrett, director of the
international bureau of American re-
spublics, said in recent speech that
it, was foolish for the United States
to spend four hundred millions on
the Panama canal unless at the same
time it spent corresponding amount
to develop it's feeders, like the Missis-
sippi river All these are matters
of education to get our people to
realize the Importance of the work
the Trans Mississippi Congress has
been endeavoring to accomplish.
I have only touched on a few
points in which North Dakota is es-
pecially interested in the hope that
our state will send a strong delega-
ton to the meeting at Muskogee,
