valves, having previously creased and
otherwise protected the machinery

The GRAFT AT UINTAA
Disclosed by Decision Giving Utah
Control Of Wafer.
WATER is ALREADY FILED ON.
Homesteaders May Have to Make
Terms With Corporations, Which
Have Filed For More Water Than
Flows in Lands Opened.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Acting Sec
ment, has decided that while mineral
entries are permissible now on forest
reserves in the Uintah reservation in
Utah, such entries will not be allowed
on others of those lands for sixty
days:
The decision follows:
First = That the lands within the
boundaries of the forest reserve are
now open to mineral exploration and
location.
Second-That during the sixty day
period provided for in the proclama-
settled upon, occupied and entered
only in accordance with the terms of
the proclamation, and are not subject
to mineral exploration or location.
Third-That after that period such
of these lands as are mineral in char
acter will be subject to the operation
of the mining laws as are other pub
lie lands of like charcter.
Fourth-That the control and use of
the waters flowing over and upon
these lands are governed by the laws
of the state.
Fifth--That these lands are not sub
feet to the control or under the juris-
diction of Indian bureau of this de-
partment after the date fixed for the
opening of said lands in the presi-
dents proclamation.
Salt Lake-The decision of the in
terror department that the control of
the waters of the Uintah Indian reser-
walton is vested in the state of Utah
will have an important bearing on
the rights of settlers who will make
homestead entries under the privil-
eyes acquired under the drawing now
going OF at Provo. Practically all the
water in these lands has been filed on
by private parties and corporations
under the laws of Utah, corporations
alone having made filings for more
water than is flowing on the reserva-
ton. If their claims shall be granted
the homesteaders will have to make
terms with them for the purchase of
the water, as the lands subject to
homestead entry are valueless except
under irrigation. The state engineer
has not yet passed upon any of these
ihomeseekers probably will be given
an opportunity to protest before the
water rights are finally granted.

town streets-a system far behind the

Washington and New York. The OPP
Grating system, in fact, is neither
novel nor up to date.
Financially Success.
'In other respects the municipal
traction lines of Glasgow are com
pletely successful. Financially they
are operated at a profit. The cars
are clean and fast. Traffic is hand
led well. The conductors and motor
men appear in neat uniforms and evi.
IDENTIFY understand their business we'll
At least, they are the equals of street
car employees in Chicago and Mil
waukee.
Every passenger who rides is pro.
vided with a seat. That is certain
The cars are double deckers," aver
aging twenty-four seats below and
forty-two above.
"The cars are so clean, the service
so prompt, and the financial showing
made by the traction lines so salts
factory it is evident there can not
be much graft anywhere in the sys
tenn. The lines are honestly admins
tered, not only in the general man
ayers Office, but by the coductors.
Whole Corporation Honest.
"In fact, the administration of the
business of the whole corporation OF
Glasgow seems honest to degree
not conceivable in the United States
Probably this is the real secret of the
success Of municipal ownership in
cities of Scotland and England, for
the traction lines are relieved of the
predatory instincts of stock jobbing
private owners and INSCRIPTIONS pc
litical Office brokers.
Politics does not influence munich
pal elections in British cities, espe
cially in Scotland. The lord provost
of Glasgow, Sir John Ure Primrose
is a figurehead, and, although he is
the hardest worked man in the city
he has no salary, no patronage, no
real power. When he accepted the
Office he had to give up his prosper
Gus business as a baker and miller
He has fairly earned the baronetcy
King Edward conferred upon him for
his honest administration of the Glas
Cow traction lines.
Why System Has Succeeded.
"Yet, after all, this condition is no
so much due to the personal integrity
of the lord provost, for, although HI
is a good man and properly honoret
! by the king, probably he is not mucl
better than many another lord mayor
The real reason why the traction line
have been honestly administers
seems to be because the people her
have not yet discovered the POSSIBLE
