Every land owner in the Big Born val- ley is convineed that water for irrigation purposes is the one thing above all others neooesaary to make thir land valuable and productive, and to make his life thereon not only pleasant but profitable In so far as these things are concerned all classes are virtually at the time opinion. To those who expect to make their living off the land they own it is absolutely necessary that water be secured. As to theme who have other means \of providing for the wants of themselves and those dependent upon them, the question Of a water supply is not so urgent. But in so large a num- ber of people, covering so vast a country as is included in the irrigable portion of the Big Horn valley, it would be unpre- cedented to find not only both of the classes mentioned but others as well -- noticeably, the speculator. It would be a tremendous task to make all of either class look at any one proposition in the same light, and to expect to bring all together on a business proposition is virtually not to he considered at all. The- farmer, with his family and all his worldly possessions, has settled upon his homestead to live—and from it he ex- pecte and must make that living. To him the ghestion . of water for irrigation is ad urgent one and one that he cannot afford. delay in attending to. He real- izes—or will—that he must either have water or mote on. No one will deny that to this 'class of our citizens—than whom there are none more desirable and beneficial to the development of a Country ---the question of water at an early date is a writer; one. The speculator depends almost entirely upon these men to de- velop the country and make their hold- ings more valuable, yet few of them will lend their assistance in a move- ment that will result in placing the act- ual farmer in a Fashion where it is pos- sible for him to remain and dry hard and never ceasing toil perform the work that will eventually swell the profits of the speculator. In addition to the actual farmer the valley has its quota of citizens who do not now and may never depend entirely or in part on the productiveness of their Ian. for support. Some of these follow other lines of business—enne one, some another—and while they would like to have water , for their land—sometime-- they do not feel the want or realize the the necessity so kectbly as the neighbor who has no other means of support. These men can afford to wait lentil such time as they can . procure water at their own terms and in their own way. It . is no hardship for them to wait. But are they not injuring themselves as much as others by diliatory methods? At the sale of the \dead\ Indian hind on Jan- uary 27th the market eedue\ . of land in this valley was fairly ostablish . ed, rang- ing from $6 to $22.50 per sere, - aecording to location, character and quality. The average price could be placed at about $12 to . $18 per acre. But only , the firm belief that the land WOuld soon be re - Claimed and brought under cultivation induced the buyers to pay these prices. If those who bought thought for an in- stant that they would not, or could not get water, we believe it would not be wrong to soy that they Would not pay the Indian price of $4 per acre. It would only be worth the same as other grazing land, and that can be had in all states where we still find government land at $1.25. The highest price asked n water rights for the land in this val- assured for your land the value and price goes up simialtanesnitely. 13ny what land you want at once; then boost for water. Don't hold the coantry back by staving off a (Anal system order to pick up cheap land. Buy land NOW, get the water immediately and you will have an opportunity to make quick money. Mrs. W. E. Reno returned from Bridg- er the first of week. She was 440cAnn- pe.nied by Mr. Reno's mother, who will make a short visit.

McComb left Wednesday for Bozeman, where he will superhttehd the shipping of his household goods and other effects from that place to Hardin. Mr. McComb has his ranch home north of Hardin completed and will occupy it permanently. Chairman Payne of the bowie commit- tee cm way, and means and Speaker Cannon have practically given notice that there will be no tariff reviaion at this session of cengrees, and of (purse that disposes of the question. They have decided to allow the tariff revision matter to be considered next winter at the short session. As a result of the \inttenehment\ policy adopted by all of the railroads of the country, work on the Hatdin water tank has been abandoned, it is belief/red that this will only he temporary. attehe urgent demand for water at this pdint . for engines will undoubtedly cartie - re- gumption of work in, the yeti near fiture.

Notice is hereby given that PRIM - is no better, and in many cases inferior er Akers of Hardin, Montana, has filed 0:0 /HUI liu litter mutation proof in support of his clue to the land in the Big Horn valley. It is therefore safe to presume that land in this valley, with a perpetual water right, te would sell readily at $50 per sterInd up. It is also reasonable to assume that from two to three crops raised from the land will equal in value the cost of a perpet- ual water right at the highest price asked -315. Two or three years can easily be lost waiting for water at a price a few dollars le* per acre, but at the end of that time tile price for water is still to be paid and three years of precious time thrown away. There has not, to our knowledge, so far, been any guarantee made that by waiting two or three years the water could be had for an amount less than $15. We do not mean to say that such would net be the ease, but the reduction would not be, in the opinion of many. sufficient to rearm- penee for the lore in delay. But the matter of price is for those interested directly to determine. If it can he had\ for say $10, this newspaper would he better pleased than to see a higher price paid. But it is the water that is want- ed and the Tribune urges the metered ty of Immediate action. We do not stand spontior fur any single project, plan or proposition that basso far been consid- ered.
