THREE MILLIONS AVAILABLE
TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 5.-Should the
present congress pass the bill which has
been framed by western members, pro-
viding a fund for arid land reclamation,
to be derived from the sale of public
lands in the states and territories to be
benefited. it is interesting to note what
the fund so created will amount to and
what amount will be available for the
work of constructing western reservoirs.

CATHOLIC POLITICIANS.
Some That Are a Credit to the Faith
and, Some That Are Not. p. a

Catholicism public life who remain
true to the principles of honesty and
virtue WHICH the Church teaches, are
| a great power for good in the commu-
nifty. Conversely, Catholics who will
enter politics to be just as dishonest
as the ''other fellows whose names
are forever associated with smooth
schemes and sharp dealings, are the
means of placing the Church in a
false light before people of other
creeds. They hinder the progress of
Gods kingdom on earth by their own
selishness. People are, not much infiu-
enced by arguments to prove the alb
stract goodness of the Church, when
they have before their eyes a concrete
example of Catholic dishonesty in some
oily Catholic politician.

office, must, If he is worthy member

is the influence he exerts.
Hence it behooves Catholics in office
to give no scandal in private or pub

to be good representatives of the peo-
pie whom they have been elected to

"THE RESTLESS WOMAN"
A Spirit Which Claims Easy Victims
in Thousands of Homes.

Cardinal Gibbons is evidently not a
believer in "woman's rights" Writing
or "The Restless Woman" in the Jan
uary number of the Ladies' Home
Journal, he says: THE spirit of un-
rest has found easy victims in thou
sands of American homes, until the So
cial condition which presents itself
today, even among the best and most
cultured classes, differs essentially from
the standards heretofore held as inviol-
able. 1t is a sad and dangerous change
which confronts us. Its9c shibboleth

PLAN TO BUILD BIG DAM.

An emphatic forward move was made
yesterday by the directors of the Utah
Light & Power company to carry into
effect the project to construct a NAM
moth dam in ogden canyon to impound
sixteen billion cubic feet of flood water
for use in seasons of scarcity for power
generating and irrigation purposes.
Until recently the problem has been to
overcome the objections to making the
power company's issue of bonds to pay
for the work lien on the property
while the farmers would have half
interest in the reservoir. A way has
been found to overcome this objection
by forming a separate corporation to
construct the reservoir.
The directors of the light and power
company decided yesterday to join is
sues with the farmers and irrigation
companies in Ogden valley in carrying
the reservoir project through, and all
that now remains to be done in pre-
hminary way is for the irrigation in
terests to demonstrate their ability 20
bear half the burden of the cost. They
will share with the power company in
the benefits from the reservoired
waters, and it is not doubted that the
farmers and canal companies in that
part of Weber county will be able to
carry out their part Of the negOtia tons.
A committee from both interests viii
meet shortly to arrange plan Of finan-
cial action.
The estimated cost Of the impound-
ing dam is $250OOO, with another 100000
for purchase of land to be flooded in
Huntsville valley. The intention eX-
pressed yesterday was that as soon as
the water in the canyon stream is low
enough this summer construction work
on bedrock will be commenced and hur-
ried through. In the meantime, how
ever. it will be possible to do work on
the sides of the canyon where the dam
will be reared. 1t is not believed that
the flood waters of Ogden river can be
stored back of the dam until after the
i1risa tinn season OF a Vear nance

sCHWAB SAYS TRUSTS
ARE USEFUL AND GOOD.

Paris, Jan. S.-Le Journal prints an in
terview this morning with Charles NJ.
Schwab president of the United States
steel corporation, who defends trusts as
a necessary outcome of an advanced
state of civilization. Mr.. Schwab says
that the countries where trusts do not
exist are destined to abandon the struS-
gle for commercial supremacy. He says
that the trusts have nothing to fear from
socialism. and that the American work
men are better paid and happier under
the trusts system. When people earn
good wages, he says, their rights do not
trOnhle them.

Merry Sleigh Ride.
Year in and year out, in sunshine

swell the anthems that have made St.

Their De Siere, in appreciation of the
faithful services, gave the choir
sleigh ride out to Lynndale and back
on New Years day. At the Nine nile
house an elaborate banquet, previous
ly arranged for by Father De Siere,
awaited the sleighing party. After some
hours spent in good cheer the merry
people returned to the city singing all

too, if one were to judge by the heads
that appeared in windows and doors

BEAmER,s AXE.
Santa Fe Superintendent Said to Have
Trouble Ahead.

San Bernardino. Cal. Oct. 1.-THE Sun
says:
Though nobody hardly dares breath
the matter, it is expected that there will
be several sorts and brands of things
doing in Santa Fe circles on this divis-
ion upon General Manager A. G. Wells
return from Canada, where he has been
for two weeks on vacation trip 1t
is whispered that Mr.. Wells and Super
tendent w. B. Beamer will be the chief
participants in the Skit and that G. G.
Wray, who las been obliged to resign
as chief diSDatcher with the company
a this place will be the bone of conten-
ton. The prologue to the looked-for
turn is this:
For some time past Superintendent
Beamer has been making a very no.
ticeable slaughtering of the various
heads serving under him at various
men who have fallen under his ban are
or more correctly were. w. w. Came
ron, w H. Baty and c. b McMullen.
These gentlemen. all of whom, accord
ing to the men who nave worked by
their side for months. were experts in
their line and why they should have
been called upon to go is still one of
the mysteries to which Mr.. Beamer
alone holds the kew. But they went.
nevertheless and then Mr.. Beamer or
pa as he is olayfully called by the
men, looked for new Eelds to conquer.
Next to cause his displeasure was c. c.
WTdy, at LndC time Ira1nTndSIeT. ana
that gentleman was Immediately trans
ferred to the position of chief dispatch
er. AT this point. it is stated, Mr.. Wells
took a hand in the matter, stating that
Mr.. Wray was a good man. and that he
saw no reas son why he should be let
down, much less reason why he should
be let out. which seemed to be Mr..
Beamer's ultimate intention.
At this the superintendent put away
his axe and was good for several DAYS.
For when Mr.. Wells said stop that"
it meant stop, at least until he got out
of town. And this the general manager
did when. two weeks ago he got into
his private car and left for Canada on
a pleasure trip. Then came Mr. Bea-
mer's chance. and as a result Chief
Dispatcher Wray has rendered his res
ignation, to take effect tomorrow.
And now it is stated that all this was
done without Mr.. Wells being made the
wiser And it is further said, as has
heretofore been intimated that when
the general manager finds it out, as he
surely will, providing he has not al
ready been acquainted with the facts.
there viii be blood on the moon -+s
Mr.. Wells has one of the strongest
pulls of any official in the employ of
the Santa Fe. and it is remarked that
Mr.. Wray is one of his favorites. This
being true, just what Mr.. Beamer will
do when Wells comes home. remains
to be seen.

DON'T GET THE RAISE.
Santa Fe Apprentices at San Bernar-
dino Are Anxious.

The San Bernardino Sun says: The
Santa Fe apprentices in this city are
mad.
1t will be remembered that several
days ago it was announced. on the
authority of company official. that
the apprentices were to receive an IL
cent raise, beginning October 1. The
boys themselves had been acquainted
with the companys intention and from
all indica tions there was not to be the
slightest hitch. But there has been one,
and the apprentices claim that at the
last moment the raise has been denied
them The representative of the ap-
prentices says:
ITO begin with a new rule was placed
in effect by the company about six
months ago whereby all apprentices
hired after the date of the announce
ment were to receive 10 cents more a
day than had been the rule before. This
gave the new men IL cents Der hour.
When this rule was given out no pro-
vision was made for the apprentices
who had been employed before the date
of the raise, they continuing to work
according to the old wage scale at 10
cents per hour. Naturally this did not
please the old men and they went to the

An order of court required defend

of replying the Santa Fe system filed

the commission is not entitled TO relief,
second, it is alleged the proper parties
are not before the court.
