she should find it necessary to send out a majcr general and an army and con duct campaign of months for the suppression of tribe of breech-clout- ed savages has been the cause of un- measured laughter.
 But now Germany, the greatest mill tary power in the world has lit tie war; on her hands, too, and is find it far frcm a laughing matter. It be- gar in an uprising of those particu- larly despised people the Hottentots, Instead of being promptly crushed into nothingness by the mailed fist of the war lord, it has now lasted for months, and the military authorities at Berlin expect it to last a year longer. Gen. erals, thousands Of soldiers and batter ies of artillery are being sent out to do battle with half-naked pagans, and are finding the task in hand a particu- lrly difficult one. The best troops of Europe, trained in the school of Moltke have suffered loss and defeat at the hands of the Hottentotsl
 It would be ungenerous and unwise to jeer at Germany on this account, or to turn against her the criticisms which Germans have freely directed against other countries in the same plight. The lessen is simply this: That no war is safely to be regarded as a little one, at least until it is ended. Tae experience of England in South Africa and elsewhere, of France in Tonquin, of Holland in Sumatra, and now of Germany in Damaraland, as well as of the United States in the Philippines, shows how serious may be a confict between even the most unevenly matched antagonists and how little ground any nation has for vaunting itself upon it's superiority over it's neighbors in such a natter New York Tribune.

The New Flap of Alaska.

The geological survey has just pub lished a new map of Alaska which will! be known hereafter as marking a turn ing point in the mapping of that reg ion. It was only six years ago that parties from the geological and coast surveys and the war department be- gan the systematic exploration and survey of the badly defined coasts and the almost unknown interior. This task, involving enormous labor has ever since been pursued with the utmost vigor. In no other little known part of the world has so much been accomplished since 1898 in the way of detailed exploration and scientific surveying Eight to twelve parties have sometimes been simultaneously in the field. A great deal yet remains to be done, but the large results already obtained have justified the geological survey in issu- ing a map showing the topogra phic relief of the territory. It will be recognized as one of the most import dIlI collIlDuLOnS 10 SeoSfaphy m re- cent years.
 The map is a large one, thirty-si by fortytwo inches. but the territory represented is so vast. about one-sixth as large as the United States south of Canada, that the scale is comparative ly small approximately forty miles to an inch. This scale has the advantage however, of facilitating comparison with map of the United States on the same scale, also published by the geo. logical survey.
 The relief of the country or in other words, it's various elevations above sea level, is expressed by means of con- tour lines with a contour interval of

Considerable interest attaches just
now to the Uintah Indian reservation,
because of the provision in the last
Indian appropriation bill, providing
for the opening, and which carried an
appropriation of $4,000 to complete
the surveys, begun some time ago.
The original bill fixed October lst,
1904, as the date OF the opening, but
because of the amount Of work to be
done, in allotting lands, and making
the surveys, 1t was found necessary 10
postpone the opening until March 10,
1905. which was done by action OF CON
gress.
The Uintah reservation lies in Uin-
tab and wasatch counties. Utah, in
the northeastern portion Of the state.
In area it consists of two million
three hundred and thirty-four thou
sand acres of mountain and valley.
There are several fine streams OF
water that rise in the Uintah range on
the north, and traverse the lower val
Ieys, finally emptying themselves into
Green river. The principal streams
are the Duchesne and Uintah rivers,
with numerous forks. all of which can
be easily diverted for purposes Of ir-
rigation, making it one OF the best
watered sections Of the state. From
the foot OF the Uintah mountains to
the south line Of the reservation are
a continuous succession Of benches Of
soil that is admirably adapted 10 all
kinds Of crops that can be grown any
where in this latitude.
In altitude, the reservation ranges
from 1000 feet in the lower valleys to
10000 feet on the summit Of the lofti-
est peaks Of the Uintah range-the
highest in the state.
In selecting lands for the Indians,
the allotments have been made prin-
clpally along the river bottoms, while
the bench lands, which are usually the
most fertile. are practically untouched
and will provide homes for many
thousands of people.
In climate, soil and crops, the reser-
walton is identical with the Ashley
valley, twenty miles to the east, which
is, without question, one Of the garden
spots OF the west. In this valley are
grown magnificent crops Of grains Of
all kinds. and alfalfa hay yields three
crops a year. The whole OF the Uln-
tab basin, which comprises all the ter
ritory lying south Of the Uintah range,
draining into Green river, and en-
bracing all of the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations, and practically
all Of Uintah county, is adapted 10 the
growth Of small fruits especially, and
the apples produced in the Ashley val
ley are the finest in the world. This
crop is unusually fine this year the
orchards, in many instances, breaking
down under the burden Of fruit that
s without blemish. In some parts OF
he Ashley valley, the finest OF peaches
are also grown.

RICH LAND FOR SETTLERS
Uintah Indian Reservation Is to Be Thrown
Open Next March.

The Denver, Northwestern & Pa
cifc railway, better known as the
eMoffat" Line, crosses Uintah county
with its survey, and follows the Du-
chesne river and Strawberry creek
across the reservation. and will thus
open up this virgin section at once,
and make every acre OF tllable land
valuable.
The Uintah railway, which is being
constructed across the Book Clifs,
from Mack, Colo, a station on the Rio
Grande road, to tap the extensive gil
sonite deposits OF the White river
country, will have for its terminus, at
present, a station called Dragon, on
the head Of Evacuation creek. Dragon
is ffty-hve miles southeast OF Nernal,
and a frst-class wagon road will be
constructed between the two points.
The climate OF the whole Uintah
basin is an ideal one. The Uintah
range on the north. with It's towering
peaks. tempers the hot winds Of mid
summer, and the nights are delight
fully cool, even in July and August. II
is doubtful II there is any place in the
world where vegetation grows as lux
uriantly, and yet the heat IS not op-
pressiye, as is the case in the UintAe
country.
That Uintah county and the terri
tory now embraced in the Uintah res
eryation Is destined to become a rich
and prosperous section. Is beyond
question. With its marvellous produc-
ticn Of crops OF all kinds, and great
transcontinental line passing through
il, opening the markets Of the vest 70
its produce, II is bound TO become the
great distributing point from which
win be drawn the food supply for
hundreds OF miles around.
The immense deposits Of gilsonite
and other kindred minerals, to tap
which the Uintah railway Is being
constructed. will form the basis for
a great industry. and will create a
good home market for the farmers OF
the Uintah basin.
All around the Ashley valley, and on
some parts Of the reservation, are de-
posits OF coal that furnishes cheap
and convenient fuel. and the foothills
of the Uintah range are covered with
a dense growth Of cedar and pine,
which is easily accessible.
The soil and climate Of the uintah
and the Uintah basin In
general, is especially adapted 70 the
culture Of the sugar beet Tests made
on beets produced in the Ashley val
ley, show them TO be above the aver
age IN saccharine. and the yield i'm

Seating himself at a desk, Peter
Burt wrote two letters, and sealed
them. He then opened a huge, iron
bound chest, and for half an hour
was busy with its contents. When his
work was ended, he quilted the room
without so much as a glance at the
silent figures on the floor. John met
him at the gateway.
