Farmer Seeks Damages.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The
claim of John T. Eaton of Great Falls
for $4,000 damages, caused by the
overflow of the Missouri river on his
lands In Cascade county, was argued
in the court of claims this week.
The lands are on the right bank OF
the Missouri river and Eaton alleges
that the government, in improving the
navigation OF the river, constructed
q dixie which threw the water onto his
lands, beginning 10 1897, causing ero-
| sion of the soil and damages amount
ing to about $4,000. In 1901 he sold
the land to W. G. Crabtree for prac'
tically nothing because most of the
land was washed away and the re-
mainder was tire atened by the dixie.

FOR THREE.YEAR HOMESTEADS,

There are indications that, despite
the autocratic attitude OF the Wash
iugton bureaucrats the th%ree.year-
homestead act may yet become q law.
Nothing would be OF as much bene-
fit to the west as the en actment OF this
easu and a common-sense enforce.
ment of its provisions.
Gradually the powers that be in
America are beginning to understand
that the influx of American settlers
into Canada has not been due to an
overwhelming desire on the part OF
red blooded Yankees to transfer their
allegiance to King George. Slowly
the fact is penetrating official brains
that Americans have been going to
Canada because of the increased
liber ality of land laws OF the domin-
ion, aud the more liberal enforcement
Of these laws.
As was we'll stated in the report of
the house committee on public lands
which unanimously recommended the
passage of the B~orah-Jones bill, the
pick of the nations agricultural land
ia gone, and at the present time three
years is sufficient for a homeste ader
to demonstrate his good faith and &C.
quire title to his selection. After he
secures title, the new settler then has
q basis of credit upon which he can
extend his operations and thus be-
come q substantial, wealth-producine
citizen.

DIXON URGES PRIMARY.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - 1.-THE

of Senator Dixon, manager of the

Senator Dixon's countenance was

Textile Strikers Resume Work.

With q rush of mill operatives back

winner. Perhaps some day some
philantropist will discover q practical
method by which the convict with q
family q be permitted or compelled
to earn something during incsrcera-
ton which will be paid monthly to his
dependent wife and children.
The state of Georgia has instituted
q plan for the employment OF convict
labor that is q long step in advance,
and which may we'll be considered and
adopted in every other state. The
scheme has no substantial objections
or difficulties, and meets with general
approval. Even the convicts express
themselves a. we'll treated and ''well
fed" The proper county officials
may secure from the state ~penitentiary
a certain number OF c~onvicts, for a
term OF weeks or months. These men
are put al work building county roads,
the county paying the cost of their
food. The prisoners sleep in portable
jails on wheels, but during waking
hours are usually unfettered, though
constantly under surveillance. Two
guards armed with rifles are allotted
to each gang of twelve prisoners.
Desperate criminal are not used, and
a. q rule the men much prefer the out
door life with its work and certain
amount of freedom to the monotonous
confinement and doing nothing. l an
informed that escapes, or attempts to
escape, are infrequent, as capture Is
very certain and results in q heavy
extension of the penal term within
the prison walls.
In this way excellent roads are
rapidly being constructed at an ex-
pense which is trifing. There is de-
mand for all of the available convict
labor TO be had. The effect on the
men themselves is beneficial. The
regular outdoor work, with wholesome
food, keeps them in healthy conditions;
their time is occupied; and as they
look upon the work accomplished,
there is 9 certain inevitable feeling of
satisfaction at having accomplished
something worth while. The occupa-
ton begets a certain self-respect.
In addition to the securing of good
roads at a minimum of cost, there is
psychological effect upon the %convicts
which alone commends the plan. Few
things in life are surrounded by great
er difficulties than the re.enlistment in
self.supporting labor Of the man who

close of ever q two or three year term.
He ia entirely out Of step-physically
and mentally-with honest toll. The
change from confinement to freedom Is
really much harder than his advent to
q cell. 1t is believed that the employ.
ment at manual labor in road build
ing will bridge the gulf between the
prison disch arge and the mans re
, sumption of honest work as nothing
, else will do. When his term ends, ht

thirds majority in their votes n the

Convention met. Mr.. Mace. acting as
Chairman. packed the Committee on
Credentials and brought In a report
unseating many of the delegates that
were elected by the people and
against whom there were no contests
in township primaries. Bogus con-
tests were worked up right on the
spot.
All OF the facts about this high
handed action in attempting to over
throw the will of the people were
laid before the full Republican State
Committee. after being carefully in
vestigated by a subcommittee for
some minutes. All full considera-
ton, the State Committee held that
DR.. George Davis was the legally
elected County Chairman. There
was only one vote in the State Com
mittee in favor of Mace: every other
vote was in favor of DR. Davis.
DR.. Davis, thus being recognized
by the official organization OF the
~ty, called a regular convention OF
dis county to elect delegates of this
county to the last Republican State
| Convention and to the Congressional
Convention. The delegates elected a,
this regular Republican County Con.

questioned facts, were seated as they
should have been in the COMPRESSION,
al Convention at Goldsboro. For the
same reasons, they should have been
seated at the State Convention at Ra-

Mr.. Editor:-Your correspondent
was trained up in the nurture and
admonition of Democracy. He read
only Democratic literature and was
taught that all persons who did not
believe in the institution of slavery
were enemies Of God and traitors
to their country. Hence his eager
ness to go to the front and risk his
life for what he believed to be right.
But, sir, the Civil War ended and,
as we then thought, settled forever
the problems which it involved, we
expected not only a speedy restora-
ton of the Union but also the resto-
ration of fraternal good feelings be-
tween all sections of the country.
