FOSTER lnb FRONTIERS.

In the Interest OF the inhabitants OF
| Grand and San Juan counties, In the
remote southenst corner Of the State,
Representative Martin has introduced
bill in the Legislature appropriating
$4,000 for bridge acrsss Grand river,
Springs on the II. q. W. and Moab;
and $4,000 to construct and repair u
wagon road thr. ugh Grand and San
Juan c9unties.
Tho Legislature oue hit by all means
10 have this bridge buiit aud this
wagon road put in good order. The
harry pioneers who are down In that
inhospitable region deserve this rocog.
nilio and public aid. They IRE
doing great work 10 build up
tho State and develop it's rosour.
GEE, and the taxpayers In other
counties would be perfectly willing
to sec come OF the public money used
for roads and bridges In that dreary
re1ion.
But tue matter has a business as
vol rs Il sentimental aspect. The ever
enterprising C0loraioans have caused
wagon roGds to be constructed to the
vicinity OF the lager settlements In
Grand anu San Juan counties, and the
result is that Colorado merchants
have captured the trade OF that
region, which rightly belongs to Utah
dealers; and as soon as the bridge and
road referred to are CONSTRUCTED, the
trade OF southeastern Utah, and adj
Joining portions OF Colorado anu
Ariz9nR, ought to and doubtless will,
come to the larger cities OF this State.
We are not able 10 say whether
the amounts asked for the
bridge and road are too
much or too little. The
Leg stature should aseertHin about

the money promptly. That part OF

GREEKS AND TURKS.

The interest shown among Greeks
In the United States In the news from
Crete that the Turkish flag has been
fired on by Prince George seems to
amount to enthusiasm. 1t is thought
that in o short time regiment could
be formed in this country, well
equipped and anxious to aid the
mother country In the struggle with
the Turks. And this lie but an Instance
OF the feeling that exists everyw here
where Greeks dwell. Greece is but
small country, containing about two
and a half million inhabitants, but
probably as many more are scat.
tered in the Mediterranean coan.
tries ana other parts OF the world,
and at the first sign OF actual HOSTILE
ties, thousands would rally and make
an inrOad in Turkey like whirlwind.
The Greeks are known to be- fierce
fghters. For centuries great many
of Thorn have taken to brlgandage as
convenient mode OF living, the Turkish
government, whose subjects they
were, being Indifferent to local affairs
rs long as The taxes were paid. This
has Rept the war spirit alive. The
Turks are fighters, too, being capable
OF great endurance and entirely with.
out fear even before the mouths OF the
desth.dvahug cannon, because they
bslieye that death can lind only thoeo
who are appointed to die; but
their military training is neglected
anu they present more the appearance
Of mob than regular army. Il is
therefore NOT impossible that war
between Greece anu Turkey would be
ia many particulars repetition OF tins
crusade Of Japan against Chins.
All depends on the attitude Of The
great pawsrs. This Ia 50 lar not en-.
tirely clear. The ,fllclal declarations
Of Russia convey the idea that that
county is snxi0us. for the preservation
OF tho peace, but whether tue ofii ,lsi
declarations agree with the score
initructitns TO ambassadors aud
naval ommmGndoIs, only .ulure
events can reveal. II there were
at the different courts sincere desise
to prevent rupture between the
