SYMPATHY W1ru cH1NA-

~N HNH '
HE public will be pleased with the resolution
i of the arms delegates to make public ali
international agreements In regard to Chinese
questions. There is no nation represented at the
Washington conference which. has the interest and
the sympathy Of the American public as has. China.
Ever since the delegates have been in confer
ence, interest in Chinese affairs has never wanedSS
and It has been the hope Of all who have followed
the proceedings in Washington that China would
have her full rights restored 10 her. and be per-
mitted to negotiate her own contracts and fulfill
only those obligations which she would. Willingly
assume. The American people are strong for the
open door for China, and public sympathy here
Is back Of China. all the time. ~
The pledge given by the railroad resolutions
which guarantees against discrimination; and
which favor the unifitation OF tho roads under
Chinese control, will, IL adhered to, bring salts
faction here. China certainly should control her
own railroad systems. That Il will be besteto pro
coed a little slowly. in View OF the many complica-
tions which have developed, people are. willing to
ccncede, only, however, and always, with the
understanding that in due time, and that time not
so far in the future. the, Chinese may be freed
from the grip Of other nations, and have the ,oppor-
tunity to handle their own affairs without foreign
interference.

largest farming operations in the
country have been carried on for the
past three years by the Montana
Farming Corporation, known as the
]. P. Morgan outfit. This corpora
ton has been farming thousands
of acres, growing wheat and oats and
running cattle.
"In 1909 the government began
the construction of the irrigation
works on the project, the total acre
age under irrigation when the work
is completed being $4,000. Due to
the lack of sufficient appropriations
the work of building the works has
not progressed rapidly, it being esti-
mated that water will be available
for about 10000 acres this var.
"In addition to larg areas of agrl-
cultural land, there are many thou
sands of acres of grazing land and a
considerable area of timber land.
"Thus as night was rapidly falling

friends who we had met there, also
goodbye to the state of Montana in
