and Secretary Ballinger today, &C.
companied by the Montana congress.
sional delegation. State Senator
Everett. Benjamin Phillips and Dr..
M. D. Hoyt of Glasgow, we're mem.
bers OF the delegation, which Is here
for the purpose Of Fastening the com.
pletion of the Milk river irrigation
project. which it is understood the
Great Northern is ready to take over
from the government, underwriting
the necessary bonds. If satisfactory
terms can be arranged. The delega-
ton complained to the president thai
they had surrendered their water
rights to the government, which had
not yet completed the project and they
urged that immediate action be taken.
The delegation also made vigorous
complaint OF the delay in surveying
the remaining 1e, 600, 900 acres of pub
lie land. declaring that 1000, 900 scres
of this could be irrigated. They as
serted that lack of surveyed land was
driving settlers to Canada.
The Milk river men also made COM
plant against the forest service, and
presented figures showing that one.
fourth of the total area of the state
was in national forests. The president
was asked to throw open to settlement
the bottom river lands in the forest
reserves.
The president promised to give the
matter his consider alton. Secretary
Ballinger also appeared interested in
the complaints of the delegation and
informally discussed them, without
taking immediate action. Hearing
will be granted the delegation later in
the week, when matters will be gone
over in detail.

THE MEAT BOYCOTT.

The Do Without clubs are a distinct
men ace to sunshine. II the Sunshie
Club has not yet surrendered its ch AR
ter it should clear it's decks for action
against q cloud which tire atens now
to overspread the land and bring back
q pail of gloom. That confidence has
been restored there can be no doubt.
The high price of living is, in itself,
the most indubitable evidence of that
fact. We're dealers, first, second or
third hand. not fully convinced that
every body is o back on the job,
prices would not have been advanced
as they have been in so many lines.
In the flood of sunshine irradiating
the land, they have remembered the
old proverb of making hay while the
sun shines. says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Suddenly, in the midst of
the hay.making season, a cloud blows
up at Cleveland, the sky is quickly
overcast, and now We are threatened
with a rainy day, during which no.
body will sat meat, or any other thing
the price of which has been boosted
out of sight.
This is confidence. 1t is the conf.
dence of men who know that they are
dealing with a prosperous people
which, it has been assumed. will never
be willing to shorten its rations while
it can get the price of anything it
wants. 1t is that supreme confidence
which exploits q sucker with funds to
that point which used to be called
"bumping his head" 1t is even more
than confidence. 1t appears now to be
overconfdence. The Cleveland move
ment is spreading. There are some
economic objections to offer to it. An
organized movement like this, directed
against the buying of commodities of
any kind, will be a disturbing inau.
ence which will work immediate and
heavy losses in some ways. Family
units, acting separately and without
any flourish of trumpets. could have
reached the same result without q
shock, II the result aimed at, a forced
reduction in prices. Is to follow q re.
duction in demand. But In an era o.
confidence. the confidence of some men
in their organized ability to force
prices up . naturally be no greater
than the confidence of other men il
their organized ability to force them
down again.
And the Do Without clubs can fnd
Scripture to back them. "If mea,
shall make my brother to ofend.''
said ST.. Paul, 81 will eat no meat
while the world standeth." There hae
been offending somewhere along the
meat line between hoof and knife. Il
