I'VE are now in receipt OF the last
issue of Irrigation in Utah. work
which, from the first, has had a. most
phenomenal success and attracted an
unlimited amount of interest, both at
home and abroad" said Secretary
Stevenson, of the Irrigation Commits
sion of Utah, yesterday afternoon
This last edition is full Of new mat
ters of character in consonaneeI
with the preceding numbers, and all Of
the highest order of merit. The con-
tents of the work have had the effect
of making known the possibilities of
this territory, especially in an irrigation
way.
When the Utah delegation went to
the National Irrigation congress at
Denver in September. and again to the
Trans-Mississippi congress at st
Louis in November, it was little
thought how completely they would
move public sentiment regarding
this territory. The work of the mem
bers Of the commission was SO ably
done as to Immediately draw attention
to the new state never yet eQualled.
BY reason of that showing made this
territory has Just received some large
sums Of money for investment in irri-
cation enterprises, sent here by eastern
capitalists. who have graSped the sit
uation and see the great possibilities
of the near future. One gentleman who
has been a promoter Of several irriga-
ton projects yesterday exhibited a
check for $4,000 of eastern money
which will be invested in a southern
project AS organized for the year 1895

George Q. Cannon, z. II. Holloway, w.
H. Rowe, C. b. Wantland, and G. l..
Stevenson, secretary. Headquarters
have been established at SO West Sec
Ond South.
In its work of patriotism the com
mission is forced to depend for f1nan-
cial support entirely upon voluntary
subscriptions And the revenue derived
from the advertisements Which appear
in the pamphlets issued from time to
time, and the people of the territory
will do well to lend their mite to the
good cause, It is the intention of the
commission to continue the publication
of ..Irrigation in Utah" in lots from
500 up until such a, time as a regular
quarterly or monthly can be prepared
This latter journal will be the official
organ of the commission and Will be
devoted to the propagation OF loeaS ana
new thoughts on the subject OF irrl-
CATION and intelligent farming. 1t will
be gotten up in such an attractive
shape that all of the people of the
territory will read it with aV1dity and
lend their assistance in the prepare
ton Of the articles and the bearing of
the expenses necessarily incurred. The
pamphlet now being issued IS having
a tremendous run, and the secretary
of the commission is surprised daily
by the number of requests received
from. foreign countries for the book
These inquiries and requests come
from the extreme parts of the earth,
the people Of Denmark. Mexico, South
and Central America, Sandwich Islands
and Australia having already sent in
their petitions for copies Of the book.
Very naturally the greatest interest Is
taken in the ans-Mississippi country
but many communications are being
received from east of the river and
Canada is also sending its quota.

A THRILLING RECITAL.
George kennan's Lecture Mt thu
Theatre Inst Night.


Theatre Inst Night.
Mr.. George KEENAN, is nobly pursu-
ing his object to which his life seems
to be devoted since his heart and SYM
pathies we're aroused in behalf of the
political e1ileS whom he met and pit
led IN Siberia. Hundreds Of thousands
have read and wondered at his recitaIs
in the magazines, and influential news
papers of the country, but now he
brings himself still closer into per-
sonal contact with the free people of
America, who, of all people, should
hear and heed the story of human suf-
ferinS in the struggle for freedom
The only pity is that he puts such a
money price on the privilege of hear
ing him that the audience is limited
in numbers and his effect and influence
diminished accordingly.
The tale he told last night was one
of deepest human interest, of the tor
ture and despair Of brilliant men and
women, whose only sin was daring to
to lift up their voices or their hands
to ameliorate the condition Of crushed
and stif1ed manhood and Womanhood.
The story was pitiful and affecting to
the last degree. How many tears
were shed in the darkness OF the audi
toriurn no one can tell, as the sad and
beautiful faces we're thrown on the
screen of men and women, poets, phil
osophers, statesmen, essayists, scien-
lists and aVoWed deliVerers, mothers
and young students, who have been
seized and hurried away to scenes of
privation and misery in the frozen
north. The simple and graphic narra-
ton went on in earnest and unaffected
manner until the pain Of simply lis
tening to such woes was almost un-
endurable, and ones resentment rose
in Indignation that people OF our own
race. should suffer such degradation
and torture MIR KEENAN, vas personal
throughout, showing faces. giving
names, dates and details, until it was
borne in upon his audience as they
sat listening to him in the comfort and
warmth of a theatre in free and lib
erty-blessed America. many of those
sweet-faced men and beautiful loYable
women we're at that very moment
Shivering in the dark OF filthy and
noisome dungeons In, the bleak and
bitter outposts of Attic Siberia; and
for no other cause than that they were
suspected, not convicted, of being in
sympathy with the revolt of the peo-
pie against the despotism Of a cruel
government

ME- Heintz Retnrns.

George w. Heintz was back at his
desk in the Rio Grande Western office
yesterday, after attending a meeting
of representatives of western lines at
Chicago. The object of the meeting
was to adjust the Colorado and Utah
east and west bound passenger rates
so that the selling lists for agents
might be gotten out without delay.
The business was practically disposed
of except as to some details.
Speaking of the prospect for the pro-
motion Of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, Mr. HeintZ says the situa-
ton remains unchanged. Many points
of disagreement have been disposed of,
but new obstacles are constantly ar
irving, and it looks as though it might
be some time before the entire matter
can be satisfactorily adjusted.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER
Hopes of the People of the Territory
are BuOyinE UD.

A gentleman remarked yesterday
that people all over the territory seem
to be bracing up in business affairs.
The prospect of good crops and the
better feeling concerning silver arc
having some influence.
There is q general feeling, too, that
the territory is on the up grade. Many
new settlers will come in during the
coming season.
The new irrigation resources and
canal enterprises will furnish employ
,nent for a good many people and
many new farms will be opened for
settlement. Mining matters will be
more active this spring also. New
gold fields are being reported con
stantly and as soon as spring fairly
opens many districts. heretofore
neglected, will receive attention. Rail
road building is anticipated for south.

trade is better than has been expected

Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, while re-

puvAL MAY CO.
Rumored That Vice-President Evans
Is After Him.

From San Francisco comes the report
that Duval, of the Continental Insur-
ance company, may lose his pace
within the next few days. Il IS stated
there that Vice President Evans is
after his scalp. On this subject the
San Francisco Examiner has the fol
lowing:
4 rumor was in circulation yesterday
that the presence of Henry c. Evans,
vice president of the Continental, in
this city. was to replace W S Duval,
the Pacific coast manager, by Mr..
Kline, of Chicago. George w Spencer,
the president of the board and SO the
leader of the fight against Mr.. Duval
was chivalrous enough to deny this
story emphaticaHy and to prove it by
letter written to him by Mr. Evans
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking abont THE
fight, said. THE Continental was in
vited to join our board, but declined tc
do so unless some seven or eight de-
mands made by it were granted. Now
we all had pet plans of our own, but
we dropped them for the best good OF
all concerned; otherwise we never
could have formed board"

west aIountatn Placers.

No work is being done at the face
of the tunnel on the Watson placers at
Bingham, but the necessary sluices for
the conveying of water out of the tun-
mel are being put in and ii is antict-
pated that within a comparatively
short time active operations will be
resumed in the tunnel The members
of the company are confident that they
have values within the bounds Of the
ground and propose not to allow the
property to lie idle for any length of
time.
The West Mountain people are work
ing away with much Vigor, but should
there not be some Improvement within
the next few days it is highly probable
that a general close down will be
ordered. Under the old method of
working, the values in the gravel were
being washed out by the force of the
water IN the shaft and drifts but now
drift is being run over toward the
northwest in the hopes Of encountering
a bench, which should be there. It Is
anticipated that this bench will be
comparatively dry and in that event
some gold will be saved.
