Except for a news story, the secretary

MISDIRECTED INDIGNATION.

The ribune is doing a whole lot of
bellyaching because the presidency
of Wasatch stake sent out letter in
connection with the opening of the
Uintah reservation; the ladies of the
American" party" are going to hold
4 mass meeting this afternoon and
there is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Cries of fraud" have been raised
and the knockers have yelled them
selves hoarse over something that
amounts to nothing.
The presidency of Wasatch stake,
being DESTROYS of seeing Mormon set
tiers get lands on the reservation,
sent out letter. That letter was a
fool thing to send out, because it con-
tanned assertions that wei e untrue and
had no foundation either in fact or
imagination. 1t purported to assert
that the presidency had made ar
rangements with the land Office au-
thorities that would give Mormons the
preference in securing lands, when the
proclamation printed in this issue
shows that no such arrangements
could have been made, had the land
Office authorities been DESTROYS Of en-
tering into an arrangement, which is
not believed for a minute. The as
sertions made by the Wasatch stake
presidency were nothing more or less
than "hot air." seasoned with a bit
of untruth and the three men signing
same ought to be yanked up and dis
ciplined for their actions.
That the Mormon church wants to
see it's members settle on lands in the
reservation is no doubt fact. 1t is nat
rral they should. other churches
have colonized lands and the Saliva
ton army has made especial efforts
TO get its converts close to the SOIL
There is nothing wrong in it, any more
than there would be in non-church
people colonizing All this ripping and
tearing, snorting and cavorting, on the
part of the Tribune is the veriest non
sense and has no more foundation
than the letter signed by the stake
presidency of Wasatch stake. To i'm
ply that there is anything crooked is
to throw suspicion upon the secretary
of the interior and the commissioner
of the general land office, also the
post commander at Fort Duchesne,
who is keeping everyone off the reser-
walton. Truth knows that no one is
being admitted to the reservation eX-
cept representatives of the Florence
and Raven Mining companies, in
which Tom Kearns Is interested. A
representative Of this paper craved
permission through an influential
United States senator, to go on the
reservation and take a number of
photographs and secure information
to be used after" the reservation is
opened to settlement in series of
articles for an eastern newspaper. De-
spite the fact that said eastern news
paper pledged its word that none of
the matter would be used; none of the
