Mr. Springer advises the establishment of tlie relative values of gold and silver by the commercial nation < of the world, and Gen the free coinage of both metals. That is what the people realy want and exactly what the republicans are going to give them. Of course the democrats can join in if they wish, just as they ought to do, but for the party to try to steal their politcal thunder from the republicans, shows a powerful weakness on their part. FOJR IRRÎG ATUV. B rief ¡Summary of Ctie Proceed ings Of the Convention. There were 800 people present at Ihe opening of the Irrigation Convention at Helena on Jan. 7 . S. T Hauser, as chairman, called the convention to older. A per manent organization was effected, S. T. Hauser, president; Geo. W. Irvin II, vice president; K. G. Ingersoli, secretary, \and Geo. H. Casey, Asst. All the preliminar ies of a legislative b >dy were gone* tlnough with, not to say as mu Mi or more speech making. From Ex-Guv. liau.-er down, evervone expressed liie belief that, the ques tion oi irrigation was the most important'ni this country. Alter much discussion of the ‘‘c ill” which had brought forth the convention, it was determined that the only proper thing to do was to take action upon the \Salt L ike Him form.” The Salt Lake resolutions were then considered, and the first one struck out. of it and the following inserted in its stead: tana. _____________ W e were surprised this week on receiving a copy »>f the Spe cial Edition of The Columbian, published at Columbia F -lb. on the West Side, by Juo. W. Pace. It fairly look our breath away to read the descriptions (herein given of that wonderful counrrv and the * * phenomenal growth of Columbia Falls. As we read, the truth of Mr. Pace’s statements were vouch ed for by several listeners who had been there. Surely great things may be expected to come out of the wood*. ____________ L ookout ! There is a sigificant ring to the words of Ihe Helena Independent’s endorsement of the action of the irrigation convention. Bead! “The government has granted vast tracts of lan l to rail roads.” it may appear to be all right in the connection in which it is used by our esteemed con- temporaly. but if it intends that lands through which irrigation canals are to be built or which may he covered by said canal, ave to be given to the builders of the canals as a bouus as they were to the railroads, we object. Other means than these must be em ployed to reclaim these lands if tneyareto become the homes of. farmers. “Resolved, That in the judgment of this eon vent ion it is the duty of the gen eral govvmieut to aid in the devrlop- nieut of the arid lands of the several stales atm territories where such lands exist; and while we do not deem it de- sirai/Je tiiat. the control and title to such land should puss from the general gov ernment to the several states cou ta in lug them, we do invert In less urge that at least the proceeds aiising from the sale of such lands shall be applied to the sup plying of water for thtir development for tne purpose of agriculture, aud we urge our senators and representatives in coi gress to use every «ffurt to accomp lish such legi-httion as will bring about lids désirai Je result, not only to our own state but to all other states and territor ies similarly situated. A résolut,on was intro luced by W. II. Sinlmrlin. of the Husband man, recommending that the legis lattice enact a law similar to the Wright law of California. The resolution was adopted, and the following committee appointed to prepare bill« for presentation to the legislature: W. H. Sutheriin, Meagher; J A. Brown, Beaver head. E. G. Ingerso 1, Cascade; J. W. M re veil, Ouster, and Flannery, ot Gallatin. A resolution asking congress for liberal appropriations to be ex pended in artesian well projects was also adopted. Besides a ’opting t lie Salt Lake résolu*ions with the above men tioned substitute and those herein given there were several, but t hose enumerated cover t he ground gone over by the convention. After ordering the proceedings printed, and-choosing Anaconda as the next place of meeting, the convention adjourned on Saturd iy sine die. 1 I t t I J O .
