IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
Helena Man Sees Great Things for
the Northwest.

Helena. - Having as its prime pur.
pose the settlement and development
of the great northwest, which is inter-
preted to include Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, there will be
organized at meeting soon to be held
In Helena the Northwestern Develop
ment League, which will include the
states named. This information is
brought here by Sam w. Teagarden
on his return from st. Paul where he
attended a dinner given by Louis w.
Hill to business men of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. When the Omaha ex-
position of western lands products
was in progress, what is called the
Western Development Association was
formed. Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington being invited to join. The as.
ISOLATION is composed of the CONNER
cial bodies Of Utah, Colorado, Nebras-
ka and Wyoming, and its declared OBJ
ject is to advertise western oppor-
tunities in eastern papers and to con-
centrate immigration at Omaha and
let 1t be diverted into the subscribing
territory.
Montana. Washington and Oregon
did not accept the invitation to join
this organization for the reason that
it was believed the center to which
1t was proposed to concentrate the
stream Of settlers was too far south
and would result in the greater por-
ton of the people being sent into the
states Immediately west of the city of
Omaha TO the detriment of the ones
further to the northwest.
From the Omaha show Mr.. Teagar-
den went TO Minneapolis and st. Paul
to help promote a plan for the CO.
operative development for the real
northwest. The decision at the Hill
dinner was that the movement for a
northwestern development league
should be pushed forward. the states
interested to be Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Idaho. Oregon and
Washington.
The plan is to have Governor Norris
of Montana invite all the governors
of the states included to attend a
meeting at Helena and at the same
time the secretaries of associations
will extend an invitation to all COM
mercial clubs and kindred bodies to
send delegates. The governor expects
to issue his call in few days.

House Shows Sentiment on Canal by
Overvsheln,inq Vote.

Washington, Feb. after nearly
five hours of debate the house of
representatives shortly before 10
o'clock tonight voted overwhelmingly
in favor of fortifying the Panama canal
and appropriated 100000 to begin
work. the total cost Of which has been
estimated at 100000
The action practically settles the
question Of fertilization for the senti-
ment in the senate Is said to be more
than two to one I'm favor of protecting
the lsthmian waterway by seacoast
batteries. The real test in the house
came on an amendment proposed by
Rep. James a. Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman Of the committee on appro-
priations. The amendment provided
that no part of the money set aside for
fortificatiOns should be used until the
president of the United States had at
tempted to negotiate treaties with all
of the leading nations guaranteeing
neutrality and international protection
of the canal
Representative Swager Sherley of
Kentucky bitterly attacked the amend
ment and warned members that IL had
been introduced for the sole purpose
Of defeating the appropriation. The
Tawney amendment then was voted
down by $50 to S. A motion by Rep
resentative Keifer q Ohio to strike out
all provision for the fertilization of the
canal was lost by a vote of 1856 to 81.
The real interest in the debate
seemed to center in the Tawney
amendment and the speeches made for
and against It by Tawney and Sherley.
Tawney. stalwart republican. looked
to the democratic side for sympathy
and applause and received both.

Chicago. Feb. e5.-There will be no
appeal by tbs western roads from the

commission denying them the right to
increase freight rates. while the east

to the last ditch" That is the es-
sence OF statements made by well-in-

Yesterday.
II is the belief OF several presidents
OF western roads that more can be
accomplished by first complying with
the suggestion Of the commerce COM
mission that proposals for increased
rates be withdrawn. and then nling
new tariffs.
