SETTLE THE WATER RIGHTS.

T HE THEORY ADVANCED by Land
i and Water Commissioner Nc
Knight at the council meeting the
other night to the effect that the city
must use its purchased waer rights
on city land in Parley's canyon is sure
" erroneous. If, in order to hold water
rights the city must use water in the
cultivation of hay and other crops, it
is difficult to understand what profit
accrues to the municipality through
such purchases.
The primary object in the securing of
water rights by the city is to increase
the water supply; that is. the supply
of water running through the various
mains. The people of Salt Lake can
not profit except in a most indirect
manner. through the use Of city water
on farming land. Salt Lake has no
business engaging in agricultural pur-
suits.
\ little crop OF hay is considera bly,
less important to the welfare of the
community than the water necessary
TO. raise the hay. If, as Commissioner
Mcknight says, the water rights in
Parley's canyon were purchased with
the understanding that the water was
to be diverted 10 lands owned by the
city, somebody has made a very Sc
rious blunder. But the thing sounds 50
unreasonable that it is difficult to be-
licve.
The city, by the way. should make
haste very slowly about that Parley's
canyon reservoir for this and other rea-
sons. The first thing we know we'll
have a reservoir fun of water up there
and at the same time we viii be de-
barred from turning a drop of II into
the mains. In other words, there will
be thousands of gallons for Irrigation
purposes, for which the city. as city.
has no earthly use, but not drop for
culinary use.
At a council meeting last week w.
G. a. SmoOt, representing certain farm
ers on the northeast bench, gave no.
ticc that 20 per cent of the flow OF all
the water from the springs in Parley's
canyon creek east OF Eleventh East
street, which means the whole Of the
creek. would be claimed by himself and
his colleagues. As to the justice OF the
claim we are not prepared TO offer an
opinion, but the fact that il is brought
forward At this time indicates that all
water right questions should be forever
settled before permanent improvements
in Parley's canyon are undertaken.
The city cannot afford to build a
reservoir for the benefit and use of a
few farmers, however much some OF

A DREAM REALIZED.

A THOUGH THE DEMONSTRA-
y ton was made under the most dis
tressing circumstances. it is gratifying
to know that the long-talked-of tide
Observation-Disclosures trip in three DAYS
has been practically realized. II al
lOwance is made for the time gained
in travelling west, three hours, the Lowe
special covered the distance from New
York to Los Angeles in less than three
days, actual running time.
OF course it would be impossible at
present to run trains regularly from
coast 90 coast at the rate of speed
maintained by the Lowe special. In
this instance a father was hurrying to
the bedside of a daughter who was des-
perately IN. Every facility for rapid
travelling was placed at his disposal.
Tracks were cleared, the fastest en-
gines were used and stops were made
only when absolutely necessary to take
or coal and water.
Death reached the bedside Of Mr..
loves daughter ahead of him and the
entire country, which was watching his
race with the keenest interest, will
sympsthize deeply with the bereaved
parents. There is no staying the hand
OF death. 1t waits not longer for the
mightiest than for the humbIest; money
cannot purchase reprieve OF respite,
and so the object Of Mr.. loves trip
was defeated
But his record breaking ride viii be
the talk Of railroad circles for many
weeks to come. STILL it is entirely prob
able that within the next few years
three days will not be unusual running
time from tidewater to tidewater. Be
fore many months have elapsed the San
Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake line

the Moffat road from Denver to Salt
Lake. Both will shorten the distance
materially between their respective
terminals as compared with existing
roads.
When both lines are i'm regular oper-
alton. when theirroadbeds have become
settled and steady and their rolling
stock "Iimbered" to the highest speed
point. il should be possible to main
tain a three day schedule across the
continent with comparative ease The
country is being made smaller every
year. Perhaps the English notion that
san Francisco is a suburb of New York
may yet be realized.

Entering the army as volunteer in

was at once made a second lieutenant.
throughout the war he served with
conspicuous ability and gallantry. the
close Of hOstilities between the north

he was given a colonelcy in the regu-
lar establishment and from that grade
he rose. step by step until he reached
the summit Of every soldiers ambition.
During his long career as a command
er General Miles made enemies. as all
men Of his positive temperament must
make enemies. but none has ever ques-
toned his integrity. his sound judg-
ment in the handling of men or his
military genius.
And whatever enemies General Miles
made in. private life, the enemies of his
country always found his face toward
them, his brain busy with plans for
their discontinue and defeat. He is out
of it all now. though as far as mental
and physical vigOr go he is as fitted to
command as he was when first he at

are full of the sincere patriotism that
chara cterized his service from its be-

and incessant warfare against armed
