The incompetence Grnh.

The reservation of the Upcompahgre
Ute Indians IN Utah is useless for agri-
cultural purposes. It would not grow a
burdocl. That is probably why it was
made an Indian reservation. The Indians
were given the area because it was not re-
garded as being fit for anything else. Ii
transpires, however, that these barren
lands contain mineral deposits of almost
inestimable vslue. This fact was not
known years ago, or the Indians would
never have got the land. Now, however.
there is a demand that the reservation
shall be Opened for settlement" If it
were thrown open, not a solitary bona
fide settler-a home maker-would take ad-
vantage Of it. But there would be such
rush of spectators and representatives. of
rich corporations as this country has never
seen.
The reservation has been found to con-
tain what is believed to be one of the rich
est asphalt deposits in the world, hardly
excepting the famous one at Trinidad 1t
also contains gi,sonite in great quantities.
These are the things that are wanted by
the spectators and the capitalists. The
rich Saints" Of Utah have looked with
longing upon these deposits ever since they
were discovered, and the silver mine own
ers of Colorado who have found silver I'M
profitable stand ready to pounce upon the
asphalt and gilsonite of the reservation at
the earliest possible moment, or a little
sooner.
Senator Pettigrew some time ago intro
duced a bill to throw open these lands, or
rather mineral deposits, for settlement"
and the bill was passed by the Senate. But
in the House the proposition has run upon
a snag. In the last congress Senator Villas
voted against a similar bill, because he said
the government ought to retain ownership
of the deposits and lease them for the roy
altes they would bring. The House has
before it an amendment proposing to sub
stitute Senator Villas idea in place of the
Senate proposition to give the deposits,
gratis, to the Saints and capitalists who
should succeed in having their represen-
tatives rush in ahead of other people and
stake claims.
A popularity of the "disinterested inter
est Of certain leading republicans in the
asphalt deposits in the UncoApahgre res
ervation is in the fact that in the Ding
ley tariff bill asphaltum is taken from the
free list and made dutiable at the rate
of Sl50 TO 50 per ton. This rate was in
serted in the Dngley bill when the Petit
grew bill was in the Senate. It was pro-
posed not only to give the capitalists,
spectators and "sooners" the rich depos-
its without return to the government, but
to pay them a bonus for taking them.

They are patriots all, my good little Paul;
They are patriots tried and true.
But what do the senators do, papa;
The United States senators do?
Oh! talk and debate for the good Of the
state:
They are statesmen leal and true.
But what do the senators do, papa;
The United States senator's do?
Each talks in turn until they adjourn:
They are workers stern and true.
But what do the senators do. papa:

The fact that the Seaboard Air Line

the Seaboard will also refuse to go into
the new freight association. Although the
new associations are formed on different
lines from those which preceded them. and
the contract docs not appear In the form
OF "a binding obligation, this action on the

This item appeared in our news columns
a few days ago: "A farmer on the Etowah
river near Rome, sold last year to ia
nous scotsman in Philadelphia 500 worth
of turnip seed. This was returned to Geor-
gia and sold at the same price per ounce
as the farmer received per pound"
The IStowah river farmer hardly made
speciality of growing turnip seed. They
were a by-product which he found
to be profitable. The Philadelphia middle
man also found this particular crop
grown in Georgia. to be very profitable. He
applied $15 worth of know how" to 81
worth of seed, and sold the crop 10 Geor-
gia, getting back SIG where he had invested
81. Why should those $40 of profit have
gone to Philadelphia? Why should they
not have remained in Georgia? There is no
reason, except that Georgia has not taken
advantage of her own resources, but is
permitting Philadelphia to use them.
How much money does Georgia send to
Philadelphia, Rochester,. Detroit and other
northern and western cities in a year for
seeds? We have no data from which to
make calculation but feel sure that the
lars. And the probabilities are that con-
siderable proportion of the seeds sent to
Georgia from these northern and western
warehouses were grown in Georgia soil,
just as were the Etowah river turnip seed
referred to above, and which Georgia
bought back for sixteen times what she
received for them.
In proportion to the volume of business
done the money sent out of Georgia to
the north for seeds may be small. But
seeds are not all. They are merely a drop
in the bucket. There are hundred-maybe
thousand-other articles which take the
same course: we sell them to the north,
and then buy them back again for many
times what we received. Until the south
| quits this kind of trading she will always
remain short of currency. Indeed, when
one comes 20 think of the amount of in
surance money, and interest money, and
surety money, and shopping money. and
seed money, which the south pours into
the north year after year. the wonder is
that there is any currency at all left In
this section of the country, and that the
congestion of IL in northern centers is not
greater.
