(WrItten ior the Degerol Newsl

Some of the opponents Of national ir-
rigation, who would like to see all the
resources of the west reserved for
speculation, are asserting that the work
which the government has undertaken
might be performed more economical-
~ by private enterprise The claim is
utterly untenable and for reasons
which are obvious upon the slightest
consideration
TO begin With, there Is scarcely q
place where important irrigation work
may be done without acquiring a GER
tain amount Of private property as the
foundation. Rights OF way, reservoir
sites, ana, sometimes. prior appropra-
tons IN tie water supply, must be pur-
chased in order 20 clear the way for a
comprehensive undertaking.
IL often happens that such properties
nave been held for years with view
OF selling at high prices when the time
for development shall arrive The pri-
waite promoter who has selected his field
OF operations Is easily subject to a
'hold-up." He Is dealing with but n
single proposition. He must have these
privileges, or abandon his enterprise.
The government Is In a very different
situation, The Irrigation law charges
the secretary OF the interior with the
duty Of investigating opportunities for
reclamation in sixteen states and terri
tories, in each Of which there are many
chances for the profitable expenditure
OF funds at his disposal. When his
experts have determined what Is rea-
sonabe price for the property needed
In given locality he is In position to
say: Make 1t, or leave it, And
everybody understands that he means
business.
The declnation OF his position
means simply that HIS field OF operation
will be instantly transferred elsewhere.
He has nothing AT stake In the mat
ter. II one locality does not want the
help Of Uncle Sam, then there are fifty
others that do. lie can OF course, pro-
coed by condemnation 10 acquire the
property and have the case tried IN a
community which IN quite certain TO
treat him fairly, but his strong card
is the fact that the demand for govern
ment aid far exceeds the supply and
that he may, therefore, always make
far better terms than private parties
could hope TO do, thus effecting "A con-
siderable saving in the initial cost OF
the work.
Hut this advantage Is far less import
ant than the one which the government

performed in such lines the well known
house of Messrs. George W. Ebert 4
Co., 326 state street, stands as a model
of attractiveness for such institutions
In salt Lake, This enterprising firm
has been at It's present location for the
past eight years, and Mr.. George w.
Ebert, the principal of the firm IA

merchants OF the west in his special
lines, lie does both wholesale and

paper selected with the best uf good
taste, and with especial fitness for the
local trade. In the several departments
the firm employs 20 people and the pa
per hanging industry forms an import
ant part OF the bushes of the house,
and 1t Is but due the public spirited
enterprise of these gentlemen to say
that by reason Of the excellence Of their
work they have made this the popular
wall paper house Of Salt Lake.

FIRE ON The !.
BARK KAIULAN|

There was a small blaze aboard the
bark Kaiulani last Wednesday morn
ing. Fortunately the fire was gotten
under control before it had spread. In
reality the vessel proper was not dam
aged in the slightest way by the fire,
only a life boat and sail being burned.
A spark from the donkey engine set
fire TO the covering of the port life boat
on the forward deck house. Within a
few minutes, the covering was in a
blaze The sailors gave the alarm
and Captain Colly the master of the
vessel, started his crew to eXtinguish
the fire. Captain of Police Flint also
saw the flames from the other side of
the wharf where the Alameda was pre-
pairing to back out of the slip to sail
for San Francisco. Flint hurried to
the bark. He discovered that there
was no necessity for turning in the
alarm for the fire department, as the
crew We're organized in a fire brigade.
Flint turned to and helped them put
out the blaze. A sail was burned and
the life boat slightly damaged by the
| fire.
