the bases of the mountains could be made
productive, and instead of narrow strip
of farms and gardens on the banks of these
streams there would be thirty miles by fif-
teen or more, of grain, fruit and vegetables,
and million people could find homes where
a hundred thousand would now tax the
productive capabilities of the valley. And
then, more than half of the water could run
to waste. This little valley is but one of
scores in the territory, all more or less
fertile, and all well supplied with water,
provided the fluid can be husbanded.
OIt is the understanding, or has been
stated by the director of the geological sur
vey, that the surveys and investigations
will, for the present, be confined to the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains;
hence the region known as the great in
terror basin, and which properly comprises
all this country lying between the Sierras
and Rockies, will derive no immediate ben
eft from the preliminary work; but if it
can be shown that the proposed plan can
be made successful east of the mountains,
the government will not be long in provid-
ing for the inter-mountain region. The
work will be followed with interest by the
thousands who are grieving to see so many
broad acres lying at waste for want of the
water which can be had in such abundance
by the expenditure of money.

A POINTER.

Those who think that education is the
great cure for all the ills besctting modern
society will do well to consider the follow
ing facts. Out of 80 convicts now in the
Pennsylvania penitentiary, ninetenths
have been educated in public or private
schools, while only one-tenth have learned
a trade. These facts are a pointer to those
who have the welfare of our country at
heart. The hands need educating, as well
as the intellect. Some attention should be
given to prepare the youth of our land to
make an honest living. We have too many
seeking places where they can keep their
hands soft and white and wear good
clothes. What is wanted is kind
of training in youth that will
beget a wholesome love of work and de
sire for independence instead Of an over
weeninC love for ease and present com
fort. The young man who acquires habits
of industry and is not afraid Of employ
ment that requires physical eXertion, as
well as intelligent thought, is not likely to
be numbered with the inmates Of peni-

WHAT UTAH NEEDS.

The Rev. T. c. ILIFF, Of this city, has
been working in the interest of the Metho-
dist mission in this territory at the con-
ference of his order of churches recently
held in New York. If one may judge from
the synopsis of his remarks published in
the New York papers the gentleman re
Trained from INDUCING in the usual
clap-trap talk, and disreputable meth
DDS too frequently resorted to by
alleged ministers Of the gospel labor
ing in Utah for the conversion
of the Mormon people when on their
periodical visits to squeeze lucre out of the
gullible folk of the east to aid the mission
work in this territory. Mr.. ILIFF is re-
ported to have said that the present needs
in Utah were, first, churches; second,
teachers willing to take any kind of work.
He invited most heartily the young men to
come, promising them hard work, but small
salary and glorious success. The third ne
cessity, he said, was teachers willing not
only to gather the children and instruct
them, but to preach. Those statements
were very honest on the part of Mr. HIFF,
and though we may think that Utah has
enough churches and is not suffering ma
terially from any lack of preachers or
teachers, his plain statement as to the pro
portion between wages and work was very
fair to the young men he invites to our
territory, for it is eminently proper
that they should know what awaits them.
We predict, however, that very few of the
young ministers and teachers will accept
Mr.. LIFTS offer, since as a class both
teachers and preachers are looking for the
very reverse order of things held out by
him-hard work and small salaries. They
are looking for sinecures; for places where
the labor is light and the salary heavy.
In concluding his remarks the gentleman
expressed the hope that the ministers would
remember the needs of Utah in their collec-
tons. In answer to this gentle hint col!ec-
lions were pledged for about $500.

THE IRRIGATION SURVEY.

It not generally known that the ''lrrl-
CATION survey appropriation was voted by
the late Congress. The amount Of money
voted for the purpose is S25O,OOO, of which
sum $4,000 was declared Immediately
available. The objects of the appropria-
ton are the investigation of the extent to
which the arid region can be redeemed by
irrigation. the segregation Of irrigable
lands in the arid region, the selection OF
sites for reservoirs for the storage Of
water. the ascertaining of the cost thereof,
the prevention of floods and overtiows, the
making of the necessessary maps, etc.
The work is to be performed by the geo
logical survey under the direction Of the
secretary of the interior.
Con ress made no appropriation in which
the people of the west are more interested
than in this. If the surveys and investiga-
+ion shall demonstrate the possibility of
making a success of the scheme, the extent
and capabilities of the west will be doubled
There is water enough in the arid region to
irrigate the continent, and ninety five per
cent of the water runs to waste, while not
more than ten per cent. Of the entire re-
gion can be pfOuSnC unuer Cu4GfdCIoH ny
the present system of irrigation. Even in
Utah, where the water is utilized more gen
orally than anywhere else in the arid
belt, a comparatively small percentage
of the water is brought into use,
and an equally small percentage
Of land is utilized. When one
casts his eye over this little valley Of Salt
Lake, and sees the miles of plain and
plateau which could be brought under
cultivation, and reflects that enough water
runs into this valley during the twelve
months to irrigate hundreds OF thousands
of acres, he may conceive something OF the

For LONG years Denver pumped water
from the Platte, below the city, for all pur-
poses, and didn't find the expense burden
some. 1t would cost Salt-Lakessintinitely
less to pump water to supply the western
and southwestern quarters of the city than
it did Denver. If a sufficient supply can
be obtained from drive wells along the
Jordan bottom, why not adopt the pumping
system for that part Of town, and reserve
the canon streams for the eastern and
northern sections.

THROUGH A GLASS DAEKLY.

There's many nobleman dwells in cot,
The palace holds many clown;
And princes have beds Of the tamarind bark,
While beggars have couches of down.
Brave kings are in cotton, serfs glory in silk,
While slaves like an emperor show;
For the worth of a title is stamped on the
heart,
But the world doesn't look at it so.
Here misers ore prodigally Ainging their
gold
To spendthrifts who hoard in their wake;
There mumbles a rake in the gown Of a
priest
To priest in the garb Of rake.
Sweet saints they are living in novels Of sin
And sinners in Sanctifed Row;
The heart in the breast is the only true test
But the world doesn't look at it so.
There are generals lying in graves unmarked
And privates with monuments grand;
The ignorant stalk in the chambers Of state,
But the quiet mind ruleth the land.
A shadow divergent each object Of earth
Oercasts from one sun in the sky;
And fancies are many as beings have birth,
But the one God ruleth on high.
So laugh at that title; that's only sham,
And at caste-but silyer-washed plate
Stuck up on the door CT tenement grand,
Belonging to natures estate. e..
Its inmates are constantly changing and pass
Each year out Of sight, like the snow,
Whose going but stirs up the filth Of the
street;
And the Almighty will look at lit so.
