MONTANA'S OP'YPOTUJNITY.
That man, with all his boasted per
epioacity, is a stupid animal has never
been demonstrated more completely
than by the action of the pioneers in the
western states.
Commencing at a period not very re
mote the rich, prairies of Illinois were
deemed unsuitable for cultivation, and
the early settlers fringed the river and
creek bottoms with their stumpy and
malarial farms, while the school geo
graphies were teaching their children
that the section now embracing the
most fertile portion of Kansas and Ne
braska was a great American desert
with a Sahara like condition of desola
tion. The pioneers who went through
the epidemics of ague and milk sickness
peculiar to new countries and experi
enced the vicissitudes of Indian wars,
prairie fires, etc., carefully preserved the
very best lands on the upland pratries
for those who came later and domesti
cated themselves in comfort. The west
has been populated by a series of dis
coveries. First, that prairie lands
would grow crops. Second, that Kansas
and Nebraska were not in a desert.
Third, that wheat and fruit would flour
ish in California. Fourth, that Da
kota was the paradise of the grain
grower, and fifth, that Colorado was
one of the best agricultural states, be
cause with irrigation the farmer held
the clouds as a personal possession to be
controlled at will.
Unfortunately for him all these dis
coveries were not made until the pio
neer, after a life of hardship, was safely
and permanently deposited under the
daisies.
The people of Montana at the present
day are trotting the same familiar
course. 'They tell with apparent satis
faction that this state is unfit for agri
cultnre and will never sustain a large
population. With many the expression
is a source of glee that the existing resi
dents are too numerous and must dwin
dle because of non-support. They seem
determined to occupy the pine coffin of
poverty and be mourned by the coyote,
leaving the costly trappings of woe to
be the solace of their successors.
The next great discovery to be made
is that in Montana nature has ex
hausted her powers in creating a dis
trict endowed with every advantage
that can be bestowed. The germ of
the discovery is alive but will not sprout
for the pioneers. The bloom of the
flower is reserved to perfume the exist
ence of those who waited in comfortable
eastern homes for the allotted time.
These wise people will secure at almost
no cost the despised valley lands. They
will put on them a supply of water and
proceed to raise crops the like of which
no other country can equal. Others in
great numbers will follow, values of
land will increase with the demand,
great cities will spring up, railroads will
gridiron the country, wealth rapidly
multiply and the new settlers become so
engrossed in managing their easily ac
quired fortune that they won't stop
even to ask where the poor pioneer is
buried. Seriously, is it not in the
power of those living to break the record
of stupidity?
Water in Montana is the foundation
of everything. We have it in abun
dance. Nature otffers to ho'd it in the
mountaitc in snow unt i needed for thii.
crons. She has built reservoir sites
rady for use, slopel, the valleys for
canals of cheap construction, put the
stone, brick clay and lumieor on nil sides
hadlldy. It only de,,is a little money.
Shall we seni one or two, or a dlozoll
men to New York to get it on individual
credit in niggardly dolehs at ton or twenty
p,.r cent interest, involving subllsequent
monopoly of supply and extravagunt
tolls for water, or will the .lgislature at
thils session frame a bill which will
unito tile credit and resources of all the
people to secure capital in abundance at
low interest?
\Will the pioneers throw aside their
prejudices and broaden their minds
sulliciently to take hold of this great
work and Imake our future secure, or
will they trausuit the superb inlieri
tance to future comers. Many puerile
objections will be raised. lHave we a
De Witt Clinton to push them aside
and build thie canais?
WE are approaching very nearly the
time when electricity wiil be mi daily
use in all our householdis. A company
has been formed in St. Paul for the pur
pose of applying electricity especially in
the culinary art. Among the art,cles
muade by the company is an oven of %..ll
seasoned wood, lined with asbestos, 'ov
ered with sheet iron. On the top and
bottom aire heating plates comnectec
with the electric current. The oven har
a glass door, andt inside in an incan
descent light so that tha.pro~ess of bak.
lug may be watohed from without. By
means of switche either the top or
bottom plates may be heated, or both et
once, as may be desired. - The company
io also making eleotrio brollers, griddles,
skillets, tea kettle. and numerous other
utensils. These articles can be used
in any' room where there is an electrio
wire, and it is claimed that they will do
away with the necessity of the range
and cook stove. Complete heating sys
temes are also furnished by the same
company. A great revolution in do
mestic economy is near at hand.
D])rrnzeNi.s of opinion as to the
relative merits, of candidates are all
right. Men may honestly disagree in
their estimates of other man. The
question is, how shall these differences
be settled? There is but one way. The
men who differ must all come together
and the decision of the majority must
be accepted by the minority. It a min
ority of eight has the right to dictate to
twenty-six, a minority of one has the
same right to dictate to eight. If such
a procedure is now recognized as right,
party discipline, united party action,
every semblance of party organization
will be at an end. It will be a scramble
of every man for himself, and the devil
will get not only the hindmost, but the
entire party.
Stand by your organization. Stand
by your caucus.
Be demoorats!
CoLORADo is still sore over the much
advertising of Montana's silver statue,
and proposes to demonstrate to the
world that she also is a silver producing
state. Despairing of eclipsing the
beautiful symmetry of Ada Rehan's
contour, the centennial state commis
sion are talking of inviting Col. William
Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," to
pose for the figure of a Colorado pio
neer. For shame! Cody is a cowboy of
the plains. He is not a pioneer of the
Rocky Mountain sort at all. If Colorado
wants a figure of this kind we have a
thousand cowboys in eastern Montana
who wear broader brimmed hats, longer
hair, and are not so bow-legged as
William, either. It you are going to have
that sort of a figure get back to your
grand old Kit Carson or John C. Fre
mont, but if a more modern subject is
desired, what is the matter with the
only Tabor arrayed in one of those
famous neglige costumes that have im
mortalized him and made Colorado
famous?
THE news that the old Territorial
Enterprise, of Virginia City, Nevada,
has suspended publication will be heard
with regret by the pioneers of the Rocky
Mountain region. The enterprise was
thirty-two years old, and was the first
newspaper published in Nevada. For
many years it was owned by the late
William Sharon, John W. Mackay, D. O.
Mills, and other capitalists. Mr. Mills
was one of the owners to the last, and it
was upon instructions from him that
the publication of the paper was sus
pended on Sunday. It is on the Enter
prise that Mark Twain, Dan DeQuille,
Rollin M. Daggett and other brilliant
writers made their reputations. The
old Comstock lode is petering out and
the suspension of the Enterprise is an
indication that there is no expectation
of a rosy future for this great district.
IF the democratic dead-look is pro
tracted until the session ends so as to
give Rickards the chance to appoint a
republican to the senate, the Lord have
mercy on those hapless dark horses
who are secretly encouraging members
to stay out of the democratic caucus.
The wrath of an aroused democracy will
be visited upon their heads.
So THEY are going to drop the War
HIorse and flook to Mantle to test the
weak spot in the democratic line. Then
we suppose they will move from Mantle
to Rickards and wind up with a grand
shindy for Carter. All this is an Inter
esting programme which is made pos
sibly by the mistakes and ambitions of
a few democrats.
