AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

II HE STOCKHOLDERS Of the North
Jordan Canal company, in q meet
ing held al TayioreviIIe to discuss the
Utah Lake government reservoir pro-
3ect, which has been pronounced per-
fectly feasible by Professor Swendson,
Of the United States geological survey.
set an example which other canal COM
pany stockholders should follow with
out delay. After a full and fair dis
oussion Of the matter, the North JOr-
dan owners adopted a resolution in
which they recognized the Importance
OF the undertaking. and urged the gov
eminent TO begin work upon it at once
Further, the resolution pledges TO the
government the hearty support Of the
far-sighted gentlemen who passed it..
The board of directors was instructed
to appoint committee Of three TO cor
respond with the government officers in
charge OF the work, and TO assist them
IN every possible way. A copy Of the
resolution has been forwarded to F. H.
Newell, head Of the governments re-
clamation department. We commend
the action Of the North Jordan com
psny TO the directors and stockholders
Of the other canal companies in the
Salt Lake valley.
They can do nothing better than Sc
cure copies of the North Jordan resolu-
ton and adopt it verbatim. Indications
Of concerted action are by no means
wanting, however. 1t may be predicted
now with some foundation on which to
Ease such a prediction. that before
mow flies next autumn the Utah Lake
reservoir will be wen under way.

FLAMs PRooFlNa MAIDS EASY

T. a RECENT ISSUE. Of the New

Doremus. n well known scientist who
has made a special study Of hreproof-

iy OF ais work. His researches were I'M
dertaken because Of the loss OF a youns

Burned him to death. As . result Of his
Investigation Professor Doremus de-
clares that a solution Of ammonium

A great advantage Of the treatment
IS its Inexpensiveness. Professor Dore-

and rendered them nameproof at a cost

SOME COSTLY WATER.

GAIT LAKE PEOPLE who groan
y over the very moderate rates they
pay for water ought to be obliged to
live for q time in V1adivostock. Siberia.
So ought the people who waste water
continuously and deliberately winter
and summer. To the list might be add
ed also. the citizens who think Salt
lake spends too much money for water.
The city Of VladivostOck pays out every
year S32S, 500 for water for its 40 600 in
habitants. And for its money it gets
just nine gallons Of water per capita.
This is probably a lower water per
capita than that Of any other city in
the world
Now compare this with other cities
The report Of Waterworks SUperintend-
ent Hines viii show that the total cost
os maintaining the water system Of Salt
Lake in 1903 was about $4,000 It has
been as low in some years as $4,000,
and it has been as high as $4,000. Some
new tank houses and other extra worR
made the cost last year a little higher
than the average, which is around $780,
GEO. The city's water per capita is rs
gallons.
Brockton. Mass, with a population of
40,063, spends $S0,O0O a year for a little
more than thirty-three gallons per
capita. Binghamton, n. Y, which has
about 10000 inhabitants, supplies 153
gallons per capita, at a cost Of close to
$4,000 a year. no other city in the
wcrld pays as much for water and gets
as little as Vladivostock in proportion
to population. II is difficult to under
stand how the residents there get along
with 50 little. They certainly can't
battle very often: they can't even drink
GREAT deal Of water.

TIE PoLlcg Report.

A n ANALYSIS Of the report Of Chief
4 Of Police Lynch reveals some facts
that cannot fail to cause establishment
amonE citizens Of salt Lake City. The
statistics show that 3,478 arrests were
-sade during the year ended December
- Efitfle hguifug shows that, on an
s.siNated population Of 60,000 one in
livf1ual in about seventeen in salt
lake was either guilty or suspected Of
crime Of sufficient seriousness to var
rant an arrest. If these figures were
absolutely fair they would startle all
Who read them.
But they are not entirely fair. In the
list Of arrests the same names appear
more than once Some Of them appear
many times They are petty offenders,
habituaI drunkards. men who are never
happy outside Of the city Jail, strange
though the latter statement may ap-
pear. Another point that should be
mentioned, one that is not brought out
with sufficient cIearness in the report,
IS the number of transients arrested.
BY this we mean men who DRIFT into
the CRY and commit some more or less
serious infracton of the law. such fell
lows are not citizens in any sense Of
the word.
We venture the assertion that If the
truth could be gotten at it would be
shown that the propol ton OF bona fide
salt Lakers arrested 10 the total popu-
Iaiion would be closer TO one in one
