LEASING INDIAN LANDS.

7 INDIAN AGENT 1TYTON is in Washington with
band Of Ute braves. As stated by The Herald ten
DAYS ago. at the time of his departure, the pur-
pose of his visit IS probably in relation leasing
square mile of nieral land in the Uintah reservation
for a long term of years Naturally, having a good
lob Mr. Myton desires to hold to It. One of the
most approved methods is further, by ali the means
in his power the leasing of the lands owned by the
Indians under his jurisdiction
If those lands can be tied up, the throwing open
of the Uintah reservation Of the finest sections
of lane IN the entire west, viii be indefinitely post
poned This is exactly what the people of Utah do
not want For years there has been more or less ag
taton ID favor of throwing open these lands to entry
The good that would come the state thereby Is al
most beyond calculation. The action would mean a
great influx of desirable settlers to Utah.
1t would mean great gain In the taxable value OF
the state as well as an increase IN the population
Money would be invested in the improvement of the
ricutura land and in the development of mines and all
would have a fair and equal chance. This is not the
case at present Favored individuals are permitted to
go IN and lease the territory to th, advantage
and gain while more worthy prospect nd farmers
are kept out.
There is no justice about such situation, and IN
the interest of fair play, well of the material adj
vantages to be accrued stop should be put to it.
When the campaign last fall grew warm the cry all
over the state was SECT in line with the national adj
ministration and see how great good viii flow from
It," Utah is today n line" with the powers that rule
Now let US see what can be done.
Our congressional delegation Is pledged to use Its
best endeavors to open the Uintah reservation to entry
Whether Senators Kearns and Rawlns and Congress
man Sutherland viii be able accomplish this remains
for time to develop They certainly should be able to
head off any more leasing of the Uintah lands

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

n NE OF THE MATTERS that congress will begin
| wrestling with early in the session Is the ship
- subsidy bill. Senator Hanna is quoted as saying
1t will be introduced as soon possible and pushed
through both houses Senator Hanna isn't as power
full as he once was, but he Is by means without IN
fuence in the senate egcn if he has lost his grip on
the White House.
First among the many reasons why this bill should
not become law is that it is as rank a steal any
legislation could possibly be- It is than the ap-
preparations for rivers and harbor, for the money
spent in that way least opened up streams that could
not be navgated before The ship subsidy proposition
means simply the donation of treasury millions to
few great transportation companies that getting
along very nicely without 1t.
In its memorial to President Roosevelt in oppo-
sition to the BILL the Reform club of New York denies
that its passage would confer any general benefits
American shipping On the other hand the reformers
say it would simply fatten by 100000 per year for
from twenty thirty years the and corporations
who are trying to its passage 1t Is pointed out
that the bonuses would not go the small vessel own
ers who might need it, and who might be thereby
couraged to build ships
Instead, the benefciaries would be the big ocean
liners that export American tourists and import i'm
migrants and carry but little cargo. This certainly
would not increase the volume of freight carrying
business Another strong point Is the simple state
ment that American shipyards today crowded to
their utmost limit Many of them months, and
even years. behind with their contracts and there is
indication of a let-up in the industry.
well-grounded report has gone abroad that
President Roosevelt Is not in sympathy with Senator
Hanna on the ship Subsidy question Tt is stated that
when the Ohio man discussed the subject with the
president he got little comfort. 1t Is not altogether
unlikely that Roosevelt being a man of unlimited nerve
and confidence in the wisdom Of his own convictions,
viii veto the measure if it should reach him IT is to
be hoped that this is the case but it it just as well not
to take any chances

THE TEsoRA ASSESSMENT.

TO the Editor Of The Herald:
l wish to draw the attention of the
stockholders of the Tesora Mining
company. in the first place to the fact
that the mine has been a big pro-
ducer, one of the main mines in Tintic
district. 1 cannot see how any corpora
ton that is on the square would allow
itself 10 become involved for the
amount of $4,000 without making a
statement. This mine has been ship
ping on an average of thirty carloads
per month, and the net expense is
$4,000 per month. Where has the money
gone for the ore. that was shipped and
sold? 1t is not reasonable that the ore
was shipped at a loss. 1 don't think
that anybody would run business in
that way, mine or any other BUSH
ness, The Tesora has its own smell
ter, I understand Why not have the
ore assayed and smelted by another
smelter and find out how much profit
is left on a carlard Of ore? I claim il
is a freeze-out game. There have been
over 10000 shares of stock sold in the
past two days, and the stock could
have been bought previous to the zee
assessment at not to exceed % cents
per share. and now, with an assess
ment of 20 cents per share hanging
over our heads, the stock is worth 80
cents per share. This don't look good
to any one that has sense. I hope that
every one who has any shares in the
Tesora mine VIII get together and en-
ploy a good attorney and have the
books examined, an assay made on the
ore and a lot smelted by another COM
pany. IF all can get together the cost
would be slight for each.

DEATH OF DR.. M'KEHHA.

THE PASSING of that gallant Irish gentleman, DR..
Patrick McKenna, will bring sorrow 10 many q
heart III Salt Lake 1t will be hard for his friends
to realize that the man they saw only day two
ago. in the lull flush Of manly strength and vigor,
viii be seen by them no more forever. The sudden
ness of his summons to the other side, the manner
of his taking, has left those who knew him dazed
1t seems such a grim traves.y things human
that this man, who had many friends, should lie
bleeding and unconscious for hours at the side Of a
railroad track. Yet there he lay alone and mat-
tended while hundreds who would have braved any
hardship to aid him pursued their comfortable ways
without knowledge of his necessity. When the news
Of the accident did come the prompt action that fcl-
oTeG was an unconscious tribute to the worth of the
who lay dying alone.
Without ;be least delay half dozen hurried to
his rescue others arranged for special train to bring
his senseless body to the city The special was not
needed but it vas ready for if necessity arose
When TIE news of the accident TO DR. McKenna bull
etined by The Herald gained circulation about the
city the offers Of help we're countless. Everyone who
had known him wanted minister TO his comfort and
all joined in the vain hope that the seriousness of his
hurts had been exaggerated
So he was brought 70 the city and taken 90 the
hospital where he had done much IN relieve the suf
ferings of felow-mortas. There brother physicians
hurried to his side and everything tt modern sur
giea science Juld accomplish was accomplished But
McKenna's hour had struck; the end of useful busy
life was nigh The hope that had filed the breasts
Of he watchers died slowly out. and in the stiffness
of the death chamber they could only wait The end Of
earthly things.

threw the young man he sat up nights hgdrlng

At last he hit on a plan. few days later the
girl complained to the postmaster that something had

corpse was found The floor nailed down again
and the odor remained.
Next the plumbing was given thorough overhaul

The young woman stood 1t as long as she could, and
finally went away on a vacation fresh air vacation
During her absence somebody happened to turn over
the rack IN which the general delivery letters and small
packages we're kept Out fell two dozen small boxes
that gave forth most pervading aroma. They con-

Of course, an investigation followed. The thing
