HILL AGAINST GOV
ERNMENT PROJECTS

Hurry up and complete the recla
nation projects under way and he
sure you have competent men in the
held, was the advice James J. Hill
the railroad magnate, gave to Secre-
tary Lane at reclamation hearing in
washington Tuesday He reiterated
his statement that it cost the reclama.
ton service more than twice what II
cost other services and private enter.
prlses to reclaim the desert land.
Mr. Hill based his statement as to
the high cost of reclamation work ON
report of the census bureau. Direct
or Newell of the reclamation service
and Senator Walsh of Montana oues
toned him about having personal
knowledge of the reclamation service
work.
never built an inch of irrigation
works in my life,' cried Mr. Hin
but ! know when private enterprise
IN Canada can sell the land and water
Tor $50 an acre, and the water an rec
lamation projects in the United States
costs $45 an acre, that there is some
difference in the cost.''
Director Newell replied that the
government work was more perma-
nent; that private enterprise was
prone to take in too large an acreage
Tor the water capacity and further
tnat the government could work only
eight hours day and private enter
prises ten.
That is another reason wbv tbe
government should 90 out of the busi-
ness, said Mr.. Hill. He added that
he was burdened with complaints by
settlers on the Milk river and the 81
Mary's project in Canada about the
delay for years in pushing the work
TO completion. To this Mr.. Newell re-
sponded that much of the delav had
been caused by diplomatic negotia-
tions with Great Britain over water
rights.
Mr.. Hill concluded with an appeal
for help for the settlers and praise for
Montana as land adaptable to recla-
nation projects.
" You might reduce your freight
rates, that would be one way to help
them,' suggested Mr.. Lane.
If we did so much further. we
would have to ask for government
credit, replied Mr.. Hill.
During his testimony Mr.. Hill said
reclamation in the west "started in
our office.''
Three railroads subscribed $4,000
each and hired fellow from Califor-
MIA named Maxwell to educate the
people about reclamation. he said.
After three or four years two other
roads came in and before long we had
the movement started.'

HORSE SHOW A FEATURE
OF SELLS-FL0T0 CIRCUS

The Sells F1oto circus. which comes
here on next Saturday, the 18th, has
for years maintained the reputation
of having the best and most eompre-
hensiye display of horse flesh ever ap-
pearing with any travelling organiza-
tion, and this year, for the benefit of
their patrons, they will make spec
ial display of these wonderful animals
in large tent adjoining the animal
menagerie, so that the patrons and
lovers of good horses generally, may
feast their eyes on the various breeds
that make up this wonderful collec-
tion.
In it will be found specimens of
the Percheron, representatives of the
thoroughbred, standard bred, Suffolk
Punch, coach horses, haekneys, hunt
ers and general purpose horses. 1t
will form an interesting study for
those who are either closely connected
with the business of horse raising or
farming, besides those who love the
horse for himself and desire to see
him at his best.
The doors of the circus proper will
be open one hour before each per
formance in order that the menagerie
and horse fair may be looked over
before patrons take their seats.

NEW EPOCH IN
CULTURE OF SOIL

The last link in the new era of agri-
culture in Humboldt county has been
forged. Old customs in land culture
have been relegated to the past and
from now on our soil will be titled by
the latest and best approved scientific
methods.
This morning there arrived at the
Southern Pacific station. for T. II.
Guyon and M. b. Johnson. 30-35
traction engine, with five plows, the
product of the Avery Manufacturing
company, Peoria, Ill The first of the
week it will be taken 10 Grass valley,
where its two owners have combined
tract of ] 400 acres of land. A large
portion of this will be plowed and
irrigated, after which contracts will
be made with the owners of land in
the vicinity for similar work. The
machine has a plowing capacity of
from l2 to Is acres daily and 30
horsepower for pumping purposes.
Messrs Guyon & johnson have Sc
cured the agency for this machine for
Humboldt and Lander counties, and
il is safe prediction to state that
within a comparatively short time
horses and the old-fashioned plow will
take their places with tallow candles,
bob-tail street ears and other obsolete
equipment of past generations.

WOOL MOVING SLOWLY
IN THE LOCAL MARKET

Although several woolbuyers have
had their headquarters in Winnemue.
ca for the past several weeks. so far
as known there have been but two
clips sold in Humboldt county, being
those of John G. Taylor and Taylor 4
Wheeler. These were DISPOSED of be
fore the extra session of congress con
vened, and are said to have brought
II cents pound, which is the top
price for this seasons clip.
At Argenta. two weeks ago, War
rem Williams sold about 1870, 900
pounds at l2h cents, and the sale last
week of 100000 pounds by George
Williams, of Fallon. at II 3-s cents, is
reported. 1t is probable these clips
were purchased by firms who had the
wool contracted, and the price paid
cannot be said to be the market quo
tation.
Several Humboldt county sheepmen
have shipped their seasons clips TO
eastern commission houses on eonsign-
ment, receiving advances arodnd .
cents
It is not probable that the market
win adjust itself before the duties on
wool and wooden manufactured ar.
ticles have been settled by congress.
The Underwood tariff bill, which re-
Gently passed the house, has reached
she senate. BY those in position to
know, it is claimed that the bill will
not pass in its present form, providing
fer free wool and sugar, but that
small duties viii be retained on both
commodities
