We notice that Judge d. w.
Houston, of our neighboring city
of Aberdeen is spoken of as a
candidate for Governor. Judge
Houston is a young man of fine
ability and should he enter the
campaign he would prove a
formidable candidate. If he
does become a candidate, he will
make a campaign entirely free of
demagog and it may be possible
that the people of Mississippi are
ready to honor man who will go
before them and state his honest
convictions on all public ques
tions. This Judge Houston
would certainly do. There is
none of the 'Flim-Flammer"
about him.

A survey of the coal lands around
Ilewistown, Fergus county. Montana
was made in 1907 by w. r. Calvert.
geologist of the United States geo
logical survey, whose report has just
been issued as Survey Bulletin 800.
The Lewistown coal field covers
about 1900 square miles, the greater
mart of which lies in the Judith Basin,
a name applied to the principal drain
age basin of Judith river. The ooun-
daries fixed for the field are land
lines, the western boundary adjoining
directly the eastern limit OF the Great
Falls coal field, which has already
been made the subject OF report is
sued by the survey.
Under the heading Future Devel-
opment." after stating certain condi-
tions that are unfavorable to an early
development of the coal resources of
the field, Mr.. Calvert writes:
In spite of the foregoing considera-
tions, however, there is every proba-
bility that there will be constant
and increasing local demand for the
coal of the Lewistown field. Judith
BASIN has developed remarkably with
in the last few years and now con-
tains a considerable agricultural pop
ulation. Lewistown is a thriving busi-
ness center, and other towns within

Umtah Company Wins
In Its Action for
Trespass

nOCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Dec. I'm
the United States circuit court
today there was handed down a
decision in the four trespass cases
of the Uintah County Development
company versus John c. Mackay, Dan
iel Mackay and the Stewart Harding
Sheep company, finding generally for
the plaintiff.
These cases have been Of great in
terest to the stockmen of western
Wyoming, as they involved the ques-
ton whether of not the defendants, in
grazing the public domain, had right
to drive their sheep upon and devour
grasses upon the alternating odd
numbered sections purchased by the
plaintiff, the Uintah County Deevlop-
ment company, from the Union Pacific
railroad company.
The decision of the United States
circuit court practically settles the
question that where one owns the
odd numbered sections within the
railroad land grant, parties having no
interest in the land can not justify
themselves in de-pasturing the odd
numbered sections under the pretense
of grazing the government sections.

Need of Waterways

carry out such policy 1t is not con-
templated that these bonds shall be
issued at any one time, but as the
needs of waterway improvements
make their issuance imperative
The National Rivers and Harbors
congress was founded in Baltimore in
October, 1901. at which some 600
delegates were present. At the last
convention of the congress held in
the city of Washington last December
nearly $500 delegates were present,
which gives Secretary Ellison ground
for his prediction that 5000 delegates
will be present next month at the
sixth annual convention of the con-
gress, which, in Importance to the
business and agricultural interests of
the country, is second only to the
congress of the United States.
Since the foundation of the gov
ernment and including the last river
and harbor bill there has been spent
on all the interior waterways OF the
country, including harbors, lakes and
canals, less than $600,000,000. Con-
trast that amount of money spent in
the 1873 years of our history with the
freight tonnage carried in the year
1908 alone, Whlcn SHOWS LnaL tneFe
were upwards of 300,000,000 tons of
freight carried on vessels of the
United States and the Importance of
this great economic question becomes
paramount. .-.
When it is remembered that the
waterways of our country-rivers,
canals, lakes and coastal channels
have an aggregate length of between
, 55, 900 and 10000 miles and only about
| %, 900 miles is now used for naviga-
ton. the possibilities of vastly in
creasing the opportunities for water
transportation is apparent
Secretary Ellison urges upon all
commercial bodies, boards of trade
and chambers of commerce, mayors OF
cities and governors of states the i'm
potance of sending delegates to the
sixth annual convention of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress
which will mark the elimination OF
the movement for a broad and com
prehensive policy on the part of the
general government towards our riv'
ers, harbors and canals.
