LETTERS ON IRRIGATION.
Bubbles From Big Creek.

1t was with astonlShment and re-
greet that | read the item of news
given by your correspondent from
Wild Horse, that navigation had
been suspended on the Smoky Hill,
or rather, as | take it, had become so
difficult that in all probability 1890
will be called an off year with
the line. Now l was astonished, re-
siding as | do, on the bluffs of the
roaring Big Creek, and gazing into
its placid depths, to know that such
sterility and acridity abounded so
near at hand as to cause the suspen-
sion of the navigation act on the
historic Smoky. With regret that
those thriving, hustling cities with
in our county, ( [ refer to Wilcox
and Gibson), should be put to the
inconvenience and expense at this
time of year of shipping their fuel
by any other than a water route.
Should the drouth continue long, l
would modestly and respectfully
suggest that in the crowded tene-
ment houses of the lower wards of
the cities they try the abundant
fuel of the plains, the ever-fragrant
native coal instead Of the expensive
anthracite. | would also most ear
nestly recommend that committees
of ten be appointed (men, women
and children) to represent each
twenty-five of the inhabitants of
our county and that they be in
structed with authority to hold them
selves ready to visit our state capt.
tai at the time our legislature shall
convene for the purpose Of giving
advice, strength and support to our
Legislators while they pass an act to
reopen navigation on the Smoky
Hill on a permanent basis by the
use at once of the underhow. Should
any one question the practicability
or utility of the scheme tell them
mum" is the word. We want the
act passed and woe be the man who
does oppose US. We are going to
navigate the underfow on the
Smoky in spite of ]. J. Ingalls,,
Humphrey or any other man. If
we don'tget what we want may the
heavens fall or Big Creek run dry,
Dol hint at failure? We will not
fail-we are bound to win. Judge
PETER says it and it must be so. All !
we have to do is to get the act
passed and full soon we shall see the
steamers proudly blowing their way
up the valley on the bosom of the
great underf1ow and tossing the
sand from their prows as a "wild |
horse" his name, or even as a hen
who scratcheth for worm. Peace
and plenty shall ever abound, turkeys
shall gobble and roosters crow on
every hilltop. Young men shall
WOO and maidens smile in every
house. The peoples party shall be
indicated. triumphant! glorious!
The republican party shall only be
mentioned with bated breath and

TIE general topic of conversation
this week was the death of Sitting
Bull. 1t appears that Sitting Bull
vas preparing to leave for the Bad
Lands when the Indian police were
ordered to arrest him, which they
did. The Indians opened fire upon
the police, killing several. Several
Indians were ;also killed, including
Sitting Bull and his 12-year-old
son. Grave fears are expressed as
to the outcome, although Sitting
Bull vas not generally regarded as
a leader by the Indians. We think
from all reports that there viii be
no general war.

THE CHAMBER of commerce committee
recently appointed to inquire into the
facilities for providing for the accommoda-
ton Of the strangers who are coming to the
city in such numbers, has made report
which will be found in another place in
this mornings HERALD. The committee
finds the hotels and lodging houses full,
and barely able to care for the transient
visitors. This is an unusual condition at
this season Of the year, six weeks before
the tourist travel sets in. A very serious
problem is presented, and one which it will
be difficult to solve. There are several
hotel projects in existence, and by
another season we may expect that
visitors will be well taken care of
But what to do now is tie question. The
committee proposes plan which will help
good deal if the house owners can be in
duced to adopt the suggestion. 1t is that
spare rooms in private dwellings be given
up to the strangers. The chamber under
takes to act as an agent to conduct the
business up to the point of bringing the
parties together, and in the report referred
to outlines the plan to be followed. There
are undoubtedly rooms in the city to house
all who will come, and it is for the owners
Of the rooms to say whether or not thew
Will rent them as suggested.

OVERRIDING 1T.

1t is to be hoped that the United States
Senate will press the newspaper CORES
pondents to tell how and from whom they
obtain information of the proceedings in
executive session. The correspondents
will. as matter of course, refuse to graf
ify the curiosity of the dignified Senators,
and then it is to be hoped that the Senate
will proceed vigorously against the news
paper fellows, Furnishing them severely for
contempt, even ordering them to prison.
AL this being done, the doors of the Senate
will soon fly open and there viii come an
end to the executive sessions from which
the public is excluded. There is
not newspaper in the land but
will espouse the cause of the CORES
pondents in this controversy, and
the United States Senate, dignified and
important as it may be, cannot stand
against the assaults Of the American press.
The Senator who takes position against
that press may as well make up his mind
that his political and Office holding life will
conclude the day that his Senatorial term
comes to an end.
We apprehend that in this matter the

abrogation of the rule requiring action on
executive nominations behind closed doors.
Heretofore popular opinion has been divided
On the question, and taking advantage OF
4 that fact, the majority of the Sen
Rtors have frowned upon the few
courageous members of the body who
dared speak in public OF men what
they would say in private, and who didn't

public will not be divided on the question
longer if the enterprising correspondents
who get the news that the people want
shall be punished for their shrewdness and
enterprise. The executive session must
go, and the Senate is Fastening the move
ment by trying to circumvent people who
cannot be circumvented.

THE CITY council has acted on the petit
ton recently presented asking that the
names of the streets be changed, ard has
acted well; that is to say it has denied the
prayer of the petitioners. and thus left
matters as they were. There is no city
in the country which has better system
of street naming than that which prevails
in Salt Lake. 1t is simple and easily I'M
derstood. Anyone who knows the points
CT the compass can go directly to any given
point in the city without inquiring his
way. Given the house number and street
he cannot go astray unless he is blind or
stupid. In the minds of few there is a
serious objection to the plan for this rea-
son, the naming was done by Mormons.
Any other plan adopted by Mormons
would have been equally Objectionable to
these persons, just as all meritorious acts
by Mormons are offensive to them. The
council has less bigotry than the petition
ers, and Salt Lake will continue under its
present simple and comprehensive system

DESPERATE LAW MAKERS.

The adverse public sentiment of the
United States has probably forced sense
Of decency into the North Dakota Iegisla-
lure, and as consequence 1t Is doubtful
that the scheme for establishing lottery
In the new state will go through. From
every part of the union has gone upon a
protest against the state signalling its first
year OF existence by legislating lasting
disgrace upon the commonwealth, and the
law makers have been scored most IN
mercifully. Nobody has had good word
10 say Tor them, and the only thing in the
nature OF an excuse for their proposed con-
duct that has been presentedis the fact that
the treasury is empty, the state is bankrupt,
money for current expenses cannot be OBJ
tanned, and in their desperation the legis-
lators saw in the lottery charter chance
Tor temporary relief. The line of reason
ing was bad, but some followed it; the
same persons would justify forgery or
theft or highway robbery in party who
was poor and in financial distress. The
public condemnation, however, has been
so vigorous aud SO general, that it is not
believed the legislature will grant the lot
terry charter.
But it seems that the majority of the
members of the state senate have now
turned desperate in another direction.
Having been shamed into saving
the state the disgrace of protect
ing lotteries, and smarting under the
press criticisms, the senate proposes to
pass bill requiring nonresident publish
ers Of newspapers to appoint resident
agents upon whom service may be made
in suits at law. Such a law is unknown
elsewhere, and its only purpose in this IN
stance would be to make trouble for the
editors and publishers of those papers
which have been making it warm for the
makers who were ready to barter the
young states honor for cash. Of course it
is not likely that the bill win become law
as 1t is not probable that the governor and
legislators will conspire to make them
selves ridiculous, but the fact that the Judi
ciary committee has favorably reported the
measure, the senate setting down with en-
phasis upon minority report, tells how
desperate some of the men are who are
making laws for the lately organized state

$1,000 and situated within convenient dis
lance of the business center, will rent for
from $50 to S75 per month, while less
costly house will fetch proportionately
less sum. The rentals from the buildings
here referred to have been given by the
owners and may be accepted as indicating
very fairly the returns to be derived from
money invested in brick and mortar in
this city. The structures are all on
high priced land. In addition to this

is far in excess of the supply. Utilizing all
our resources and putting forth our best
efforts, the calls for dwellings, stores and
offices cannot all be answered this year,
and the outlook is that the spring of 1891
will find the demand quite as heavy as it is
ut present
We mention these figures for the purpose
of showing that building in Salt Lake
promises for the next few years an excel
lent field for the investment of capital. In
fact, there are few things giving better
promise of safe and satisfactory returns on
the money. There is also to be taken
into account the circumstance that while
buildings are worth all the money they
cost, and pay handsome interest on the
sums put into them, the landis steadily in
creasing in value, and is likely to do so for
years, as the city increases in population
and grows in commercial Importance.
