SPEAKS FOR THE WEST,
Governor Norris Makes Address At
irrigation Congress.

SOVSTUOT GNOTTIS WAKES AOOTeSS Al
irrigation Congress.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Gov. Edwin L..
Norris of Montana, delivered the
principal address at the opening of
the United States Land & Iris alton
congress last night. He rebuked the
east for its attitude regarding con-
serv alton and declared that the west
was competent to carry out all neces-
sary measures and stood ready to do
80. In part, be said:
"Several western governors jour.
neyed to St. Paul in September last
to take part In the deliberations of the
national conservation congress-. Of
which they were members. It was
found on arrival there that delegates
attending from the west, where almost
all the unappropriated natural re-
sources are to be found, we're ex.
pected to sit at the feet of eastern con.
serv alton ssges and hear theories OF
conservation expounded. 1t is as.
VOuIoAAIoS w" "AoCAJ oVuC uO0 O0A
talk on some subjects and how many
high.sounding theories may be advo-
Gated by them concerning something
Of which they have no practical
knowledge. The western delegates
desired. that some ideas be advanced
which were adverse to the sentiments
of the inner circle of men who con.
trolled that congress-, but no oppor-
tunity was given for that purpose.
| Men from the mountains grow restless
from inaction and the western gov.
errors returned home. Notwith stand.
ing their departure, it was announced
in the newspapers that the pugnacious
governor of Kansas would remain on
guard to see that the western gov.
ernors did not start something.' The
western governors did not withdraw
from the conference, as was reported,
but in fact many of them we're named
as vice presidents Of the congress and
will be on hand at the next meeting to
give reasons for the faith that is in
them, if opportunity Is offered"

CONGRESSES OF THE PAST.

Only ten years out of the past thirty. |
eight did republicans rule the house,
says the Butte Evening News. Be-
ginning With 1875 aud ending with
1913 democrats have majorities rang.
ing from nine votes to las, during the
sessions they ruled. The congress
from 1875 to 1877 had a democratic
majority of sixty.one. In the next
two years they had a majority Of only
nine and two years following this they
increased it to nineteen. Beginning
with the year 1881 the republicans had
an inning of two years, but they lost
when IL 1888 the democrats got con.
troll again with a majority of "A.
Two years later the democrats won
ten more seats, but in 1887 the repub-
licans made gains and cut down the
democratic majority to fifteen. Two
years later the republicans won con-
troll of the house, which they kept
during the years 1890 and 1891.
The greatest landslide aver known
for the democratic party was in 1892
when Cleveland was triumphant. The
grand old party had but SO represen.
tatives to the democrats 236 and the
democra attic majority reached the scan.
dslous total of 148. Immediately they
began to lose ground and the next two
years showed 1.-THE democratic control
only 81.
This term of 1893 to 1895 marked the
end of the democratic congressional
ers. From that time to the present,
q matter Of fifteen years, the republi.
cans held control, with Joseph Can.
NON welding the gravel. Next fall,
when the new congress begins its
labors, democrats will once more be
in control With . majority of 81. The
present status of the house is PIT re-
publicans and ia democrats, srepub'
lican majority Of AZ. The next con
gress will be 227 democrats. 1913 repub'
licans and one lone, lorn socialist.
II will do the democratic good to gel

have . chance to work on party

RECALLS EARLY DAY HISTORY,

An eastern newspaper records the
death recently at St. Louis of Pierre
Choutesu at the age of 81 years. It
Gays that "there recently died in St.
Louis, At the sge of 81 years, Pierre
Chouteau lineal descendant of the
founder of that city, who vas the in.
stig of the Louisiana purchase
exposition. 1t vas natural that Mr..
Chouteau should have been an active
member of the Missouri historical
society, to which he gave valuable
charts aud books that had come down
to him. He also compiled data about
the founding Of St. Louis and the part
his family had in the development OF
the city. He was educated a. q mining
engineer in this country and abroad.
was an inventor of distinction in air
drills and other implements used in
mining aud structural work."
The name is of local interest in these
parts for the reason that Chouteau
county was called after Pierre Chou
teau, though not the one that has just
died. The great fur merchant and
pioneer business man after whom
Choutesu county was called was
buried at St. Louis in 1855. He pur.
chased the interests of Mr.. John Jacob
Aston in the American Fur company
and be had fur trading stations at St.
Pierre, Fort Berthold. Fort Union at
the mouth of the Yellowstone, and at
Fort Benton, besides trading posts on
the Mississippi IS far north as ST.
Paul and south to Keokuk. In fact
his operations extended all I'VE the
country and he was one of the pioneer
merchant princes OF the country.
The name of P. Chouteau, Jr., &
Co., was known all over the continent
and in the commercial ceuters of Eu.
rope. 1t was q name TO conjure with
among the Indian tribes ir these parts
in early days. The man who has just
died in St. Louis is the third OF the
name, the son of the fur trader and
VI WIG OEISluo l ACIIC SuOu
teau. The first of the name also was
a mar of power and q pioneer in his
time. He died 10 St. Louis in 1S49.
He was born in New Orleans in 1749,
and was one of the first men to be-
come interested in the fur trade ives,
of the Mississippi river. Thus the
name of Pierre Chouteau has been
distinguished one for more than
century.
. 1t is, as we said before, Of more
than passing interest to US because
Great Falls stands on land that wal
once a part of Chouteau county ant
the butfaloes that grazed where Cen
trail avenue and the New Rainbow
hotel are now we're hunted by Indian:
who wanted their skins to trade t
Pierre Chouteau. We do not know
much about the personal history o
Pierre Chouteau the third, but it woull
seem that he also was a man of enter
prise and DESTROYS OF doing big thing,
as were his ancestors before him il

Shrinkaoe In Glaciers,

Scientists aver that, save ove q
small area, the glaciers of the world
are %retreating to the mountains. The
glacier on Mount Sarmiento, in South
America, which descended to the sea
when Darwin found it in 1886, is now
separated from the shore by a vigorous
growth Of timber. The Jacobshaven
glacier, in Greenland, has retreated
four miles since 1860, and the East
glacier, In Spitzbergen, Is more than a
mile away from its old terminal mo.
raine. In Scandinavia the snow line
is farther up the mountains, and the
glaciers have withdrawn 5000 feet
from the lowlands in a century. The
Arapahoe glacier, in the Rocky noun
tatns, with characteristic American en-.
terprise, has been melting at a rapid
rate for several years. In the eastern
Alps and n or two other small dis.
tricts the glaciers are growing. In
view of these facts We should not be
too skeptical when old men assure us
that winters nowadays are not to b.
compared with the winters of theil
boyhood.-Dundee Advertiser.

Residents of upper Nuuanu Valley
would greatly appreciate more
speedy completion of that fifty-foot
boulevard system as planned for the

A delegation of representative cit

II Is claimed that the road gang

OF removal OF fences and the setting
of curblng. then leave the unfinished
job to take up work In front OF the
premises of another property owner.
The result is that number OF res

needless delay In the work OF es-

pacing OF FENCES. t

BOURBONS ON
LONG JAUNTS
Democrats Trying TO Cover
Much Ground In Last Days
of Campaign.

Democratic candidates covered a
lot Of territory last night, some of
them getting around to three meet
ings, though few who had spoken at
either the Punchbowl or the Kalihi
camp rallies tried to go to Water
town, where the third meeting was
held.
The Kalihi camp gathering was
one OF the record breakers of the
campaign, In point of time. II was
IL o'clock when the last speaker FIN
ished thrusting his doctrines on u
polite but tired and fast .dwlndling
audience. Early in the evening the
severah long-winded gentlemen got
up and overran their time. and the
others would not consent to be neg
lected, so every man on the list had
his fling.
The Punchbowl meeting was en-
liyened by several choice bits OF rep
artee between the speakers and the
crowd. The Republicans have al
ways been given orderly attention by
the Portuguese. but the many slams
that the Democrats have taken at
the Punchbowl residents have made
them critical OF the Bourbons, and
some warm badinage was INDUCED
in last night.
Tonlghts Democratic meetings are
