BE Predicted.

The North Capitol and lexington Citi-

on streets and sidewalks. has laid before
the District Commissioners complaint re-
lative 10 the streets and walks within
the territory covered by its operations.
The association asks 10 be informed 10

can be made during the ensuing ear
The complaints filed by the association
were carefully Investigated by the Super
intendent OF Streets and a report made 20
the Commissioners. II was shown that
while the conditions are about as repre-
scented. the results OF those conditions on
FEASIBILITY OF the rOsdWays and sidewalks
had been somewhat magnihed.
The association has been informed that

pate in a demonstration OF approval. such
as the coronation affair. will be.
"UndemOcratic and JnrePubIicHn."
And it is undemocratic and unrepubIi-
can, and against the spirit OF a republic
like ours to have any other person or
persons 20 represent the United States on
the occasion Of Edwards coronation than
the American Ambassador to the Court Of
St. James.
When England ceases in her efforts
to destroy the South American Republic
and recognizes the independence Of the
Beers as she was forced to recognize our
independence in 1916, then perhaps it
might not be amiss to send few Of our
ships to fire a gun OF two for EDWARD
VII just TO show there is no hard feel
ings."

An Important
Remnant DaY.

Our business policy demands
the absolute and immediate clear
ance Of all remnants in order TO
keep the stock fresh. bright, and
up 70 date; it also forbids the Of
fering Of this class Of merchan-
disc in connection with perfect
goods. Hence one day friday Of
each week is given over to the
selling of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
odds and ends, short lengths,
broken lines, incomplete assert
Tents, imperfect goods. and any
thing that may be termed a rem
nant..
This weeks remnant day sale is
especially interesting, because Of
the great variety Of the assert
ment and the littleness of the
prices-and because the several
classes Of goods offered are
worthy, and such as are in broad
and immediate demand. Thus the
buying opportunities afforded are
unusually attractive.

The officials of the Office Of Indian AZ
fairs end the office OF the Secretary Of the
Interior are engaged in the work Of pre-
pairing transcripts Of all papers involved
IN the proposed leasing OF mining rights
in the Cintah Indian Reserve alton, in
northeastern Utah.
This is IN accordance with resolutions
presented by Senator's Kearns and Stew
art and agreed to by the Senate. Senator
Kearns desired that Secretary Hitchcock
inform the Senate whether it vas pro-
posed to lease any portion Of the lands
anG TO submit TO that body all papers and
documents relating to the lease
Wants Information.
Senator Stewart. in addition to this res
olutioE. offered one which directed the
Secretary to inform the Senate whether
any movement had been inaugurated to-
ward leasing the lands and the reasons
therefor.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the Interior Department by dele
cation Of five Uintah Indian headmen. who
presented TO the ONCE Of Indian Affairs a
petition stating the conditions under
which the proposed lease would be grant
ed. The Indians explained that their ir-
rigatiOn plant was Of insufficient capac-
ity and that If further funds were avail
| able the plant would be extended. The
Indians proposed that the money received
from the leases be spent only for the pur-
pose Of irrigation and under the direction
Of the Interior Department.
Commissioner Jones Of the Indian Blu
reau recommended to Secretary Hitchcock
that the lease be authorized. Il is Un-
derstood that Secretary Hitchcock agrees
with the view Of Mr.. Jones that the leases
should be granted.
