Makes Formal Announcement Of
His Candidacy for Guberna'
tOrial Nomination.
WHERE THE OTHERS STAND.
Mr.. Cutters Appearance In the Con-
test VIII be Watched With In
terest by Other Candidates.

Ever since the meeting OF the Repub-
lican state committee Saturday after
noon, there has been considerable ac-
tivity IN party politics, so that laymen
hardly know what the situation really
Is. In order to enighten the public
mind on one question-that OF just who
and who are not candidates for COVER
nor on the Republican ticket the
News today sought interviews with
the men mentioned, the result Of which
win be seen below.
Hon. John G, Cutler was seen by
News" reporter shortly after noon to-
day and In response TO a direct ques-
ton az to whether or not he was a can
didate for governor on the Republican
ticket, said:
"Wen. | suppose | may as we'll tell
you just where | stand in the matter,
For some time past | have been asked
by my friends to become candidate,
and have at last yielded 10 their de-
sires. Consequently | am candidate
for the gibernat0ria nomination and
hope by fair means and the assistance
OF my friends throughout the state, 10
be successful In the convention, and
just as successful at the polls next No
Vember'
The name Of Hon. T. II. Cutler has
also been mentioned In this connection,
but the News" Is authorized to state
that this gentleman Is not candidate
and never has been.
Hon. f.. II. Callister. who has been re-
garded by many as one of the leading
candidates for the place, was also seen,
but he refused absolutely to either al
firm or deny his reported candidacy. 1t
may be that Mr.. Callister being a fed
eral office holder, is "out OF politics."
hence his reticence In the matter.
Governor Wells, who has been urged
by many to consent to become his own
successor, is playing, Parker-like, a sill
ent game. Thus far he has failed to
make any statement as to what he In
tends TO do.
Jesse NJ. Smith, who was mentioned
I'm last evenings News as a candidate
for the goyernorshlp, is in Montana,
and there appears to be no one In salt
Lake with authority to speak for him.

EIGHT YEARS
OF BAD DROUTH.
Disastrous Result Of Lack Of Pre-.

Reserve.
EVEN HARDY TREES PERISH.
Ten Years Ago the Section Was Well
Watered and Lands We're

The disastrous result OF eight years
OF drouth IN a region that has only a
limited water supply is the most
impressive lesson contained In profess
sional paper No, %, recently published
by the United States geological survey.
Forest Conditions in the Black Mesa
Forest Reserve, Arizona" Is the title
OF the paper, which was prepared by
Mr., r. G.. Plummer from notes fur
nlshed by Messrs. Theodore #. Rixon
and Arthur Dodwell.
The reserve comprises an area OF
27s6 square miles and includes parts OF
Yavapai Coconino, ella, Navajo,
Apache, and Graham counties, Arizona.

CLANNISHNESS
IN NEW ENGLAND
In Vermont Canadians Are Fast
Taking the Place Of the Old
Puritan Stock.
LATTER HAS DRIFTED WEST.
Prohibition Question Has Assumed a
New Phase There--Mr. Cos.
griif's Observations.

President ]. r. Cosgriff OF the Com
mercIal National bank returned last
evening from his extended eastern trip.
He was a delegate TO the national Re-
publican convention, and from there he
went to his old home at Burlington,
VT, Mr., Cosgrlff found business condI-
lions rather quiet down east, on ac-
count OF It's being presidential year and
business men were complaining about
closeness OF margins Of profit.
Mr.. Cosgrlff was much interested in
a subject that has for some time past
been the theme OF discussion In the
New England and other papers, viz,
the decadence OF the New England
hill towns. He found the old Puritan
stock rapidly disappearing. Many Of
this stock have moved into the west
where they have proven the bone and
slnew In building UP the newer parts
Of the country. Then the people of the
old stock are largely childless, which Is
also a strong factor In the dlmunition.

dian element Is drifting heavily In from

grin noted I'm conversation with ex-
Gov. BarstOw and other prominent YER
monters, that mistake had been made
by the representative of the old stock
In holding aloof from the new element,
and not taking them into. public or
social confidence. This policy has re-
suited In an increased clannish feeling
among the Canadians, and the result
win be that when the latter come to
be In the majority and realize their
power. they viii take all OF the offices
and the political plums themselves, Mr..
Cosgriff has also noted the difference In
the west, where people OF all national
tiles and the eastern American imml-
grafton element as well, associate ana

quicker adaptation Of the foreign ele-
ment to American ideas than In the
New England states. and the practical
