Uintah county showed it's gratitude
to Hon. Joseph L. Rawlins for the open
ing of the reservations. That little re-
monstrance published by few (who
are now ashamed of their action, i'll
the Provo sheet, only strengthened Mr..
RaWlins vote in the county.
One of our leading merchants made
the remark yesterday that the new set
tiers that were already here in this
valley, were bright and intelligent look
ing people, and they all had money to
pay for what they got. How does that
tally with the malicious article that
was published by a handful of unpro-
gressiVe citizens of this county?
There are 1872 townships on the reser-
vations. Do cur readers think the In
dams will take all of it?
The heavy majority over the candi-
dates for office in this county, whose
names were attached to that. ''Uintah
Reservation" whine, shows how indig-
nant the people of Uintah county are
about it.-Vernal Express.
Patriotism, which makes people stand
up for their country against foreigners,
would also make them work for the
success of their own section, for their
own county, and their own town. When
the voters think the matter over care
fully in their cooler moments, we are
inclined to believe they will see their
mistake, and remedy their error.
One Of the principal products of the
west is the silver. All the warfare
against the white metal has been made
by the east, because it is only in keep
ing the west from progressing too fast
that they can hope to keep their place
in the nation.
While it was natural for every
western Republican to claim that their
party favored free coinage as much as
Democrats, deep down in their hearts
they do not believe it. They know that
their only hope for silver lies in the
Democratic party, or in some new or
ganization. Some of the leaders in the
silver movement have declared that
there was no hope for the white metal
in the Republican party.-Manti Sen

We are not killed with religion but
when a paper like the Tribune makes
cartoons of some of the sacred things,
we should imagine that some Of the
men who have been so willing to swal-
low everything which that organ pub
fishes would feel disguised. 1t looks
like stealing the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in.''-Manti Sentinel
A. lessen, of Salt Lake city, president
of the Lucern Land and Water COM
pany, is in Vernal. In an interview
with the Express reporter, Mr.. Jensen
stated that his company have a canal
which covers 5000 acres of land near
the mouth of Henrys Fork. in this
county, and that the canal can be made
ITO cover $1,000 acres.
Lucern valley is about the same alti-
tude as Ashley valley, and the soil is
very deep, rich and free from alkali,
and without doubt can produce any
crop that can be raised here. The
company have already planted 1000
fruit and 1000 shade trees. which are
doing well.
The land is surveyed and settlers can
prove up as fast as they can comply
with the requirements of the law.
The canal is taken from Sheep creek,
and is eighteen miles long and twenty
miles of laterals.
The company have two large reser-
voirs at the head of the ditch, ana Mr.:
Jensen said there was an abundance OF
water for every foot of land the dItoh
could cover.
| Lucern valley is only sixty miles from
Ashley valley. in the northeastern por-
ton of this county, and when settled
will cut quite a figure in the county
revenues. Quite a number of settlers
have already located there, and it is q
sure thing that more will go there as
soon as the people who are fiockng in
how ind or;
the advantages of this new country
which. by Mr.. lessen and his company
enterprise, is being made ready for the
settler. who will only have to put in his
crop and his water is on the land to
raise it.-Vernal Express.
i Business men to the front! Mr.. A
Evans, jr, representing the big iron
plant that was to have been located al
I Ogden, is now, for some reason, seeking
a new location for his smelters ano
charcoal pits. The reason he did not
locate in Ogden was that Mr.. Evans
would not take his filing off of Ogder
river. The gentleman is now negotiat'
ing with Willard City, Box Elder
county, but in a letter to ]. r. Edwards
Of this city. Mr.. Evans state that Logar
would be a desirable place for the 10
factory arrangements could be made
he would locate here. Mr.. Edwards ha:
already leased an iron mine near Para
disc to the Evans company, and is o.
the opinion that with the abundance
of iron ore to be found in this lmmedl
ate vicinity. with our magnificent waite
power facilities would constitute sucf
inducements for the location of thu
works at Logan as could not be give1
elsewhere.
The capacity of the proposed plan
is fifty tons of pig iron per day. which
can be increased if necessary, and sil
charcoal pits, employing at the outse
about 500 men, with payroll of some
thing like $4,000 a month. Willard
has made the company proposition
Ito give them 100 acres of land, right o
wav and to do the necessary gradins
and putting in OF switches. etc. A com
mittee has been appointed to raise
bonus for the plant. We do not know
how much bonus is required, but i
Willard can raise enough Logan hat
ought to be able to.
Mr.. Evans in his letter expressed
desire to meet some of our bushes
men at Brigham city. and if he coult
he interviewed and induced to come t
Hogan to look over the field heGe i
would be step towards the possibl
location of this great Industry in on
midst.-Logan Journal
