TOWNSHIPS WERE OMITTED
Mistake Made in Segregating Lands
For Reservoir Purposes in
Uintah Reservation.


Washington. Aug. 16.-Yesterday the
interior department believed it had
gotten rid of the Uintah Indian reser-
walton hoodoo when it received Presi-
dent Roosevelts proclamation restoring
to entry more than so 700 acres of land
which had been withheld for .'agricul-
turaP' purposes. Today, however, it
was discovered that in making the
segregation for reservoir" purposes.
the secretary of the interior had signed
carefully prepared list of lands which
designated certain sections, but failed
to give the townships In which those
sections were located. When the secre-
tarys order was received by the Vernal
land office it was returned to Washing
ton for further Information. The in
terror department knew what lands it
intended to segTegate and had a correct
list on file but I'm making up the official
order SOMEBODY carelessly omitted the
townships. This served to add con-
fusion to an already badly tangled
situation, but before the department
closed tonight the mistake had been
retrieved and instructions forwarded
to VeTnal No real damage was done
by the mistake as it was discovered be-
fore the reservation was made subject
to entry.

Prospect of a Fight in Trans-M issis.

JOHN CHINAMAN DISCUSSED
EXCLUSION LAW THE BONE OF
CONTENTION.

nORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 16.-CnIess
indications fail, the sessions Of the
trans-NIississippi congress, which
assembled here todax, win be rent in
dissension before the congress is
twenty-four hours old. Utterly an
tagonistic views are held by the deIega-
tons representing California and other
western states, and those representing
Oregon and Washington, on the sub
Ject OF Chinese immigration This
fact first became manifest during Gov
ernOr Chamberlain's address. The
Oregon executive had hardly finished
the perfunctory welcome to the con-
gress when he launched an emphatic
dictum TO the effect that while the
commercial interests of China are
valuable the influx of a horde OF
Chinese coolies into the Pacific coast
states is too high price to pay for il,
and this, he said in effect would be the
result If the exclusion laws were not
administered with the utmost string
ency.
CaIifornians Were Silent.
Though not so emphatic in his
declarations, Governor Mead expressed
similar view on the subject. The repre-
sentatives in the congress of Oregon
and Washington. whose comparatively
undevelOped territory makes them an
inviting field Cor Chinese labor. al
lowed no sentence of either speech to
pass without applause, indicating the
feeling in their states in the matter.
The CalifOrnianS. whose metropolis is
credited with almost a monopoly of the
| Sl0O,O0OO00 import trade of China were
cOnspicuOusly silent.
Governor Pardee of California, i'm
responding for his state displayed AN
evident desire to eVade an allusion to
the subject of immigration. However
there was in his statement that the
United States had quite as much 10
fear from pauper immi grafton OF
European countries and from Africa
as it had from China an evident re-
Election of the sentiment OF his con-
StiJuentS.
Trade Worth Having.
Governor Pardee in a measure mini
mixed the contention of Governors
4 Chamberlain and Mead that TO SON
serve the trade relations with the
Chinese empire Is not worth a material
Z lOOsening of the present strict super
vision of Chinese inmi grat ion.
