ARID LAND PROBLEM.
State Engineer 0oremus Con.
WINGED That Congress Will
Take Some Action.

State Engineer a. F. Doremus returned
home yesterday from Chicago, where he
had been attending the convention of the
National Livestock association as d dele
gate from Utah Mr.. DOremuss son,
Henry, made the trip with him. The
state engineer read a paper at the con-
vention on the reclamation of the arid
lands of the west and making the irri-
cation streams fill a larger measure of
benefit to the livestock industry. The
session was entertaining and profitable.
but scarcely enough time was allowed to
consider the business in hand. Mr.. Do
TemuS is of the opinion that this session
OF congress viii do something in the di-
reetion desired. He has formed this
opinion since reading President ROOse-
velts message and noting the trend of
sentiment in Washington within the past
two weeks. The state engineer believes
that all of the western senators and rep
resentatives will gladly receive sugges-
lions from practical irrigators as to the
best method of relieving the situation
as to the best means Of conserving the
supply of flood waters and making the
most economical use of public streams for
all needs
As to ways and means, Mr.. Doremus
own opinion is that the preliminary work
expected to be authorized by congress
should partake of Investigations relative
10 NneIe ana now the congressional ap-
preparations for construction of reser-
VOiTs or otherwise could be best eX-
pended so as to assure the largest meas
ure Of benefit.
Relative TO the effort Of the Salt Lake
valley canal interests to secure through
Utah's delegation in congress a large ap-
preparation to make of Utah lake the
storage reservoir desired for supplying all
of the irrigation needs In this valley,
Engineer DOremus stated that Il is
Snpcial
templated by the bills before congress for
relief. Nevertheless. he regards il as
meritorious proposition and wen worth
making the effort for an appropriation.

BLOODSHED IN RESORT
Woman Strikes Drunken Youth
on the Head With a
CuSpidOT.

A heavy cUspidor welded by wOm-
an during a fight in a Commercial
street resort last night severed an
artery in the head of a youth who gave
his name as Sperry Johnson, and had
it nc been for the prompt attention of
phS stefan The young man would prob
ably have bled to death.
The cuspidor caught him squarely
above the temple, fortunately severing
only a snail artery, else the conse-
quences might have been serious. The
woman S known as Miss Lena on the
avenue and is an inmate of Elsie St.
Omer's resort, where the fight occurred.
Johnson and two companions who
gave their names as John Forester and
James Anderson, are now in Jail, it be-
ing alleged that they precipitated the
fight.
Too much booze, it is alleged. was the
cause or the whole affair. Miss Lena, -
IL is alleged, attempted to put the
young men out of the house, and John
son, il is said, struck her q blow that
knocked her against the wall. She
claims that he was attempting to at
tack her again and to defend herself

to the floor, bleeding profusely. Officer
Parry rushed III al that iuncture and
placed the boys under arrest. johnson
was bleeding so profuseiy that he was
taken to the station and Dr. Benedict
was summoned as quickly as possible.
The youth fought against the doctor,
but his wound was sewed up and he
was given quarters in the Jail 10 re-
cover from his loss of blood and his
jag. His companions were locked up
with him on charges of drunkenness.

CUT REACHES
so PER CENT
Rate Slashing Continued by
Western Roads.
TROUBLE WILL BE STOPPED
STRINGENT ORDERS PREDICTED
FOR JANUARY 1.

The cut in freight rates reached an
average Of so per cent on Chicago and
Missouri river westbound business.
Even at that the situation was some
what more quiet and there were indi-
cations that some Of the most vigorous
yate slashers had pulled in somewhat.
A majority Of the traffic men were of
the opinion that there would be little
change in the conditions until about
Jan. 1, when stringent rules would go
into effect and rates would be better
maintained.
This present war is nos so serious
as it would have been if it EG7 reached
its worst couple Of months ago"
said a traffic man yesterday. "Mer-
chants have for the most part laid in
their stocks and comparatively little
business is left. That had great deal
10 do with me cutting of rates. When
business is slack, rates usually suffer
When everybody has oil they can han
die, rates are pretty well maintained.
The situation in Utah has reached a
serious point and { is reasonable to
expect that the big sen in New York
ana elsewhere viii take some action to
better the situation
shippers have been after the traffic
men ever since the first publication in
The Herald of the extent to which the
rate-cutting has been carried, and
every freight man, from traffic man
ayers 10 solicitors, has been having a
lively time.
'I am glad The Herald gave public
ity to the situation" said one traffic
man. When things get to be IS bad
as they nave been, the best way is to
exploit them and bring matters to q
focus. Then there is an investigation
ana an agreerlent which helps TO
straighten things out. Rate wars are
had for the railroads and bad for the
shippers. The ideal condition would be
reasonable freight tariffs, absolutely
maintained. This would give both the
railroad and the business nan a
knowledge that he haG a safe basis on
which to do business
