NNON'S VIEWS.

Senator Cannon was the first to eX-
press his sentiments. Answering the
question as to how formidable is the
opposition to the proposed plan Of in
ducing the general government to cede
all public lands other than mineral,
within the state. to the state govern
ment for the use and benefit of the
people inhabiting its domain. the sena
tor expressed himself as being of the
opinion that it would be impossible to
get legislation making the cession de-
sired, because of the opposition of his
eastern colleagues, many of whom had
but very imperfect conception of the
needs and the possibilities of the great
west. However, Senator Cannon be-
lieved that it is possible to obtain
grants of the arid lands in the state
and he thought it wise plan for the
states representatives to work with the
senators and representatives of other
states for a general grant of the arid
lands to the states wherein they are
located.
Governor Wells asked if it would be
possible to get an exchange of gov
eminent for state lands already grant
ed, and Senator Cannon replied that he
believed not, but he was ready to do
anything to help further any plan that
may be agreed upon as promising the
most desirable results.

dence Of the administration attitude
towards Utah, that he went to Secre-
tarys Gage and asked him concerning
the 10000 that had been appropriated
for the purchase of federal build
ing site, and wanted to know why he
did not send an agent to Utah to
make the purchase. Secretary Gage
replied he considered he had discre-
tionary powers in the premises: that
the Dingley bill would not furnish
sufficient revenue for the country, and
that until the government was on a
f1rmer financial basis he would with
hold action.
The 'secretary's attention was called
to the fact that the appropriation was
passed in precisely the same language
as other appropriations, but still he
refused to act. Representative King
then appealed to Speaker Reed. and
asked if he would recognize him in an
effort to have the SECRETARY positively
instructed TO proceed with the pur-
chase. Mr.. Reed declined with en-
phasis, and the matter dropped. SO"
representative King concluded. what
ever we do must be done with the
sanction of Speaker Reed. If he is
favorable to our action, we can sue
coed; if not we cannot"
WILL KEEP THE BOARD POSTED.
After Representative King concluded
his remarks, the visiting delegation
promised TO keep the board advised
from Washington Of the OPPORTUNITIES
in sight, and the necessities arising
along the lines of the movement for the
ceding oe the arid lands. The confer
ence then adjourned, after which the
board considered some unimportant re-
ports from the committee on awarding
uncontested selections of school lands
to preference right applicants in Beaver
and Box Elder counties.
