Considerable interest attaches Just
row to the Uintah Indian reservation,
because Of the provision in the last
indian appropriation bill, providing
tor the opening, and which carried an
appropriation OF $4,000 TO complete
the surveys, begun some time ago.
The original bill fixed October LIST,
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 to
postpone the opening until March 10,
1905. which was done by action Of con-
gress.
The Uintah reservation lies In Vim
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
legs, hnally 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-
rlgation, making II one Of the best
watered sections Of the state. From
the foot of the Uintah mountains to
the south line OF the reservation are
O continuous succession of benches OF
soil that is admirably adapted to all
- hnk
where in this latitude.
In altitude, the reservation ranges
from 1000 feet in the lower valleys to
IL, 900 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 q year. Tho whole Of the Vim
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 Ulntah county, is adapted to 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
is without blemish. In some parts Of
the Ashley valley, the finest of peaches
are also grown.

Famous Men.

Famous Men.
1t may be some comfort to laboring
men to know that the salary of the
poet laureate of England is $500 a
year and a hogshead of wine thrown
in. OF course, this represents only
fractional part of what Mr.. Alfred
Austin really earns; still it is all that
he gets for being poet laureate to the
English speaking race. This salary
is without any prospect of a raise,
although it was increased to its pres
ent munificent proportions when Lord
TennysCn died. Some time before his
death it was decided to increase his
salary to that amount, but the gov
eminent did not decide till after his
death. Thus the present poet laure-
ate came in for the raise intended for
Lord Tennyson.
Even this small sum is more than
the official salary of the bishop of
Winchester, in his capacity of minis
ter to the chapel royal. He receives
$35 per annum. 1t is an Office which
requires his presence at Windsor sew
eral times each year and the total
railway fares from Winchester amount
to about five times the amount of his
salary. The vice consuls of the sec
ond class towns in Russia are also
badly paid. Their salaries vary from
$2j to $3.50, but two-thirds of them
get S25.

to Pennsylvania next year. It is said that after making the Ann Arbor eleven champions of 1903 Yost wanted to be released from his contract and go east to coach minor team, having all the time in view an opportunity of trying his proteges against some of the star elevens here. It would not be surpris- ing, though, to see Michigan's famous coach drop out of football business for good at any time. Yost is in a different position from his two great rivals, who share with him the football reputation of the west-namely, Stagg, of Chicago, and Williams, of Minnesota. Their pro- fession is coaching in athletics of all sorts the year round. Yost's is not. He not only has other business inter- ests besides the Michigan football team, but he spends less than a quarter of the entire year in Ann Arbor. Yost's sal- ary is undoubtedly the highest paid any coach in the country for the time spent earning it, but he is such good money maker for Michigan that it might take a small fortune to get him at some other college. Nevertheless, the work and worry which Yost stands is tremendous, and he may at any time suddenly decide that his coaching ambition is satisfied. jYost is practically sure to be at Mich ,igan next year. From the football en- thusiasm which he himself has created, lYost has become as loyal to Michigan as to his alma mater, and this holds him. So enthusiastic is he over Mich igan that he follows the track team to all its big meets. His loyalty is part of his success with the men; and if there is sincerity in his expressions of such spirit Yost will stick to Michigan for long time to come. The ambition to go east and 4'show them,' which has made. the coach restless for the last two years, has not much cause for living any long CT. Yost has great volume of corre- sspondence from eastern football enthu- siasts, born and raised in the east, who admit that Michigan and other western elevens are the equals of the east. This correspondence is increasing in volume, showing a strong pro-western senti- ment in the east
