Underground Water Supply

Underground Waters for Farm
Use," a popular report Of the United
States Geological Survey, has again
been reprinted to meet the wide de-
mand from all farming and suburb
an sections of the country. A copy
can now be obtained free, on applica-
ton to the Director United States Geo.
logical Survey, Washington, D. c.
This water supply paper mo. 1850
explains in simple language the habits
of flow of underground waters through
different kinds of rocks and soils, and
calls attention to the dangerous char
acter of many wells whose waters are
supposed to be pure and wholesome.
Water from limestone rock, especially,
it is stated, is apt to contain germs OF
typhoid or other disease, due to the
fact that surface waters find their
way directly into underground chan
nels which have been cut out through
the dissolution of the lime.
Methods Of protection from subsur-
face drainage in farming districts are
discussed in the report, well-drilling
methods and cost, types Of curbs and
we'll castings. The report embraces
only about 50 pages, but is well illus
trated with photographs and dia-
grams.

TAFT Has Lost Weioht

William H. Taft, until recently pres.
ident of the United States, has lost
so pounds in weight since resigning
the cares of Office. There is no need
for his frinds to be alarmed, however,
for he still tips the beam at 240
pounds, so that a romantic writer
would have to indulge in considerable
romance to describe him as slender.
All this was observed recently when
Nh. Taft appeared at the contest for
the open air golf championship. Per-
sons who had not seen him since his
residence in Washington were amaz-
ed at the change.
The loss of so pounds did not come
about by chance. It was the deliber-
ate design of Mr.. Taft to lose weight,
and he set about doing it through cul-
tivating a big appetite through out
door exercise and then fooling the ap-
petite. In the morning, after a cold
shower and a ride, he would have for
breakfast one egg, two pieces of dry
toast, and one cup of u~nsweetened
coffee.

In addition to the lands granted to
maintain the public schools, congress
has granted lands for various state in
situations as follows: Capitol build
ing, 1872, 900 acres, agricultural college,
lao, 900; school of mines, 100, 900; nor.
NAL school, 100000; reform school,
so, 900; school for the deaf, dumb and
blind, $4,000; state university, 46,0SO.
In character these lands are classified
as agricultural, $4,000 acres; timber,
255,613; grazing, 327,467.
The price fixed by law as the min
imum at which these lands may be
sold is $40 per acre. All the states
holdings are getting nearer and near
er to the value at which they may be
sold. Much of the land is leased and
that brings in a good revenue. The
rosiest dreams hardly justify the hope
that Montana will have the income
which Minnesota's state auditor de-
clares that state will have in forty
years. But nevertheless the inheri-
lance of public lands in Montana's
possession is most valuable and will
become of almost inestimable value in
coming years.-Anaconda Standard.

Opinions by Attorney General

Helena, Oct. 3.~--Ilospitals r not
included within the prohibition of the
law for women, according
to an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Kelly in reply to a query pro-
pounded by w. J. S"indlehurst, CON-
missioner of labor and industry. M.
McCusker, secretary-treasurer of the
Peoples Power league and a member
of the board Of directors of the North
ern Pacific Hospital association. wrote
Mr.. S~windlehurst. requesting him to
obtain an opinion from the attorney
general on the subject.
Hospitals are not mentioned or re-
ferred to, either directly or indirectly
in section l Of the act; hence they are
not included within the prohibition
named in the law" holds Mr.. Kelly.
In another opinion to DR.. w. w.

of health, the attorney general holds
that an Incorporated ci'y that mas

Valley County Outlaw Killed

Malta, Sept. 30.-Bill Hayfield, a
notorious alleged horse thief who has
been wanted in Valley county for the
last three years, was shot and killed
last night in the saloon Of Powell &
Brown in this city by Deputy Sheriff
Cassidy while resisting arrest. Hay.
field, who was wanted in Havre for
jail delivery and in Glasgow on a
charge of horse stealing arrived in
the city recently and when Deputy
Sheriff Cassidy learned he was here
he induced c. w. Powell, a former
deputy sheriff, to point him out. He
was first found in the Board Of Trade
saloon but when he saw the officer
he left that place by the back door
and went into the next saloon.
Cassidy deputized Powell to assist
him and the pair followed Hayfield
into the saloon where the former
placed his hand on Hayfield's shoul.

rest. Hayfield whirled and got the
drop on the officer with a .3S Colts
automatic compelling Cassidy to low
er his gun. Powell fired a shot which
det-acted Hayfield's attention from
Cassidy w%hereupon the latter fired,
the bullet entering the d~esperado's
breast. Hayfeld fired as he fell but
his bullet went wild. He died within
a few minutes.

WEALTH IN SCHOOL LANDS

Montana, in common with nearly
every other state of the union, finds
a hard time to ecure sufficient rev
enue to meet the appropriations made
at each session by the state legisla-
ture, the appropriations becoming
larger with the growing needs of the
state. But this does not seem to be
the al with Minnesota, which is
said to be growing so wealthy that
even the legislators seem unable to
devise ways and means of %disposing
of all the evenue that is coming in.
This wealth results from the policy
of the state in not selling its public
lands. These lands have now become
extremely valuable, owing largely to
the timber and stone upon them.
Minnesota's income from the state
school lands last year was $4,000. 900
and it is prophesied that within ten
years this income will amount to &c..
O00, 900. The state also received last
year $4,000, 900 from iron mine royal.
ties. The state auditor is quoted as
estimating that within forty years
Minnesota will have an income of
$500, 000, 200.
Montana also has valuable school
and other public lands and these are
constantly becoming mor valuable.
The state lands comprise 1880 acres
in each township granted by congress
for the maintenance or the public
schools. These with indemnity selec-
lions made in lieu of school lands
settled upon prior to survey. or such
az has been decided to be mineral
land. by the federal government, all
of which is designated as school lands,
amount to 2,527,034 acres. The grand
total of state land directly under the
control of the state board of land com.
missioners is $751; 36 acres.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW

The predictions of politicians as to
the effect of the new tariff law will
be tested by the practical application
of its provisions. The public has been
assured by the supporters of the
measure that it will contribute to the
welfare and prosperity of the Amer
lean people, while its opponents have
been equally positive in the declara-
ton that its enactment will be fol-
lowed by business depression in var
ious lines of industry.
Each of these conflicting predic-
tons is probably based upon honest
belief of the rival politicians, and it
will require practical experience to
demonstrate which is right. II the
promise of good results is fulfilled,
the political party that is responsible
for the new law will receive the cred
it: if the injurious consequences fore
told by its opponents shall develop,
Mr.. Underwood and his associates
will be discredited as authorities up
on tariff legislation.
The avowed purpose of the new
law is to reduce the cost of living by
encouraging the importation of for.
eign products. The reduction of the
tariff upon some classes of commodi-
ties, and the admission of other kinds
of imports free Of duty, is expected
to produce this effect. The larger
supply of foreign products in Ameri-
a markets. according to the friends
Of the new law, should result in low.
er prices to the consumer.
This theory. of course, contem.
plates smaller returns to American
producers of commodities that will
compete with the importations from
foreign countries. If the consumer
benefits from lower prices, it will be
at the expense of the producer. Small.
er returns to the farmer, for instance,
reduces his purchasing power, and
his ability to buy commodities that
he does not produce will be lessened.
The reduced purchasing power of
American citizens engaged in produc-
ing commodities that it is proposed
to cheaper to the consumer, is a fea.
ture of the situation that may cause
disappointment to the interests af-
fected
The press dispatches already report
large c~onsignments of foreign-made
products awaiting admission to Amer
lean markets under the new tariff
conditions. Manufactured goods,
farm products of various kinds, live
stock and other imports are expected
to come in large volume, and market
quotations are being affected by the
prospective increased supplies. The
purchase of these foreign.made pro-
ducts, of course, reduces the demand
for homemade articles, and Ameri-
a industries must be affected to
that extent.
The new tariff law. however, is "in
u midst" and the forebodings Of its
critics and optimistic anticipations OF
its friends will be tested by actual
results. II the benefits shall prove
a. great as promised by the authors
Of the measure, there will be gen
eral commentator of the statesmen
who framed the law. II its operation
brings results predicted by the po
litical opposition, the latter will prob
ably have an opportunity to enact
law along different lines.
