UINTAH RESERVATION.

1.-THE bill for the opening OF the Tin
tab reservation to settlement and culti-
walton, which has been introduced by
Senator Kearns in the upper house and
Representative Sutherland In the lower
house Of Congress, has some chance OF
becoming a law, II win be found tho
easiest and best way TO dispose Of the
contention over the leasing Of Indian
lands In that county, which has caused
30 much agitation In official circles,
The proposition has long been under
consideration. There are valuable
lands and mineral deposits within the
boundaries OF the reservation which
ought not 10 be excluded from occupa-
tlon, cultivation and development, The
Indians. of course would have to be
provided for by giving them title In
severalty to sufficient land for their
ample support That is contemplated
In the bill, The time appears to be
rapidly passing when large tracts of
arabic or mineral lands shall be kept
as hunting grounds for rowing bands Of
semi-savages.
There has doubtless been great
deal of injustice done to the original in
habItants OF American soil There ls
no valid excuse for the wrongs that
have been inflicted upon them But this
does not require the continuance Of the
reservation system, to the extent that
white home-seekers shall be shut out
from lands that can be made valuable
and profitable both to individuals and
20 the nation.
The red men ought to be taken care
OF, nationally, and means should be
placed in their way by which they can
support themselves In a manner suited
to their capacity and reasonable inclin-
ations, But as fast as possible consist
ent with their proper treatment, the
public domain not required for their
support should be thrown open, under
the homestead and other land laws for
the general benefit and the reclamation
OF the soil, We hope the bill which has
been introduced win be favorably en-
tertained and speedily enacted into a
law by Congress,

-FOUR NEiGBBoRs IN TOUCH

The Denver Post calls attention to a
regularity IN the geographical rela-
tIonships OF American states and terri
tories which has been long recognized
by surveyors and persons familiar with
maps who have noticed the situation
1t is thus mentioned By the Post and
can be readily seen by q glance at Il
map OF the United States;
The point where Utah, Colorado,
ARIZONA and New Mexico touch each
other IL called the four corners. THIS
fact Is not strange one, but when we
come TO find that II Is the only place
where four states and Territories Join
we find that this spot Is In some ways
a tinaue one. Not only Ia this the only
Ilhoe In the United states where such a
junction occurs, but 1t Is the only
ore Of it's kind IN the world. This
statement seems o broad one, but a
short study Of the maps OF an atlas
win show that II 10 correct, and more
than that, that at no other place In the
United States DO more than two state
corners touch each other.
