thar when these lands are thrown open,
as they must eventually be. the irriga-
tion fund will be tremendously en-
riched. Professor Mead suggests an
other source of revenue for the fund.
1t is his opinion that some system
can be devised for collecting money by
rentals or otherwise from the national
grazing lands. OF the arid territory
he points out that more than 400, OOO, 600
acres are available for grazing pur-
poses only. He believes that it will be
possible to give irrigators the right 70
lease sections of contiguous grazing
land and in this way a considerable
and steady income would be secured.
In support Of his theory Professor
Mead cites the success Of the states in
leasing land, a source from which 1925
"9 was poured into their treasures in
1900.

FUNDS ERoM LAND SALES.

ulation has been INDUCED in as to the
amc,.nt which would be secured to an
irrigation fund by placing in that fund
All the money derived from the sale Of
government lands in the arid and semi
arid states The question is answered
By Professor Elwood Mead in his tes-
tinouy before the United States indus
trial commission. Professor Mead pre-
sented to the commission a table which
covers the subject exhaustively.
In 1900 the government land sold in
all the states particularly interested in
natisraI irrigation brought s., 1O7 600.
OF this Utah contributed but So ,0O0,
only one state. Nevada, showing a
smaller amount, $1,000. The territory
OF New Mexico had $4,000 and all the
others we're far ahead of In. Mon

win be seen that If each state is TO be
given. in irrigation works, only the
amount derived from the sale of gov
eminent lands withia her borders, Utah
win rot receive a great amount of
benefit
That is not the intention of the bill,
however. As The Herald has so often
pointed out, it Will be almost impossi-
Bile for the government to undertake
any extensive amount of reservoir and

COMMERCIAL CLUB SURE.


THE suggestion that a commercial
club be organized to promote the
welfare Of all the business interests of
Salt Lake is meeting with the hearty
eception such movement should be
accorded. A meeting is 10 be held
within the next few days to discuss
The proposition and shape the plans.
which are now nebulous. into some
thing definite and tangible Surely
ehere is no reason why Salt Lake
should be behind the other progressive
cities of the Union in this matter.
In yesterdays Herald interviews
were printed with forty-two of the
city's most prominent business men.
All lines were represented and. with
but three exceptions, the sentiment was
decidedly in favor of organization.
Some favored a chamber of commerce
ard others d commercial club. The
name of the association is really a
matter Of small Importance. Under any
name rs functions would be the same.
The value of a corporation whose
sole duty il would be 70 exploit the
business, social, climatic and other ed-
vantages of salt Lake is so apparent
that it is hardly worth while to go into
such a discussion here. One Of the
best arguments Is found in the words
of Postmaster Thomas in response to
The Herald's request for his views.
Among other things. he said:
Every day am in receipt Of four,
five or SIX letters. asking information
about the city AMI the business open
ings. Here in front Of me now is a
letter from a man in Iowa who says
he wishes to move his foundry plant
and wants to know what the opening
is in Salt Lake He has some real es-
tate there and wishes to sell it and
invest in real estate in a growing city
Here is another letter inquiring about
projected irrigation development in the
state Another man is inquiring about
the chances FOR work. and the wages
paid. Another asks about prices on
real estate. And SO it goes. ] answer
such letters as 1 can. but many of them
WOuil require COuSiueIdDle llFeSliSd-
ton. and I have no time for that"
Every business and professional man
in the city should attend the coming
meeting. 1t will be hard to benefit one
portion of the community without ben
efitiD~ others. and if all work together
Tor the common good the results will
surprise the most sanguine. With
strong, capable, energetic men at the
helm the commercial club or chamber
of commerce will prove a power il. The
city and state.
In view o. it's natural advantages
Salt La'ye should be today a city Of
100000 people. With proper enterprise
and spirit it will easily double its pop
ulation by the time the census of 1915
is taken, and the commercial club is
the proper institution to start the bal
a-rolling. 1t will be time enough tC
divide our prosperity after it has be-
come a material asset

AN UNEDuoATED RosBER.

CHICAGO Is not the great educa-
~ tional center we had been hoping it
was. If it had been, the highwayman
who held up Eugene Hector. a news
paper man. would certainly have
known better. What are the Chicago
highwaymen coming to, when they so
far forget themselves? The average
footpad. though a fool. should know
better than to tackle a reporter on his
way home from work or anywhere
else.
Unfortunately, this particular robber
cannot be. called upon for testimony
as TO why he made such an exhibition
of himself He is dead. And. strange
to say, Hector slew him. That's an
other tunnv thing about the occur
renee. although doubtless the humor of
it viii fail to reach the footpad. Why
in the world did Hector want to pro-
tect himself? Being a newspaper man
he had nothing to lose but his reputs-
ton, and the highwayman assuredly
didn't want that.
There is only one way to account for
the road agents mistake. That is on
the theory that his last experience was
his first Had he known anything
about the newspaper business he must
have hDown he could gain nothing by
rifing the pockets Of the gallant Hec-
tor They probably contained nothing
except few stubs Of pencils, a bunch
of notes, perhaps an elevated railway
ticket and tks full grown revolver
Der. With the exception of the gun
Hector'S assets were not negotiable by
anybody but himself.
We are therefore surprised that he
didn't readily yield. and then indulge
in some facetious remarks at the ex-
pense Of his assailant. All of which
reminds us of the story Of another
Chicago newspaper man, whose name
shall not be mentioned, for he is yet in
the land of the living. One dark night
he was approaching Chicsgo's favorite
hangout for highwaymeu. the Twelfth
street viaduct, when a gentleman step
ped out from the shadows and stopped
him.
This victim threw up his hands i'm
mediately. but the bandits search was
not thorough enough. He overlooked
a revolver of diminutive proportions
which was carried by the victim. At
the close of the festivities the high
wayman was departing for other fields
when the newspaper man thought of
his weapon. He drew it. and, taking
careful aim. began 10 shoot at the re
treating figure.
Promptly the footpad wheeled around
and returned to where the robbed in
dividual was standing. Are you
shooting al me with that gum" in
quired the hold-up. He was informed
that the man at the other end of the
gun labored under that impression.
"Well, you won't shoot at anybody
else" answered the robber. as he took
away the weapon, carefully attached
it to his watch chain and resumed his
hunt for fresh victims.
These two stories should remind US
that things aren't always what they
seem. In other words. what is food for
some is friction for others.
