to Utah.
WILL ATTEND THE OPENING
LATEST NEWS OF THE UlNTAH
RESERVATION.
Especial to The Herald.)


IAEASHINGTON, July 17.-Land Com
Wv missioner Richards and five
clerlds from the general land Of
flee will leave Washington about July
p to take charge of the registration of
entrymen desiring lands in the Uintah
reservation. Commissioner Richards
will not remain at any one point, but
viii move about among the registra-
ton offices until the time for drawing,
when he will take personal charge of
operations at Vernal. 1t is proposed
to have eight clerks each at Grand
Junction and Provo and four each. at
Nernal and Price during the period of
registration. Commissioners Richards
does not anticipate there will be any
trouble upon the opening of the TJintah
lands. but if trouble shall arise he will
arrange to have it properly attend
ed to.
Speaking of the lands to be opened
under the lottery system. Commission
er Richards today reiterated what he
had said before, that not an acre Of
land that viii be subject to filing will
be capacIe of producing crops without
irrigation. Already the Indians have
selected the best lands of the reseTva-
ton and have made filings on the
water.
The commissioner is unable to say
whether or not there is enough un-
appropriated water remaining to irri-
gate what lands viii be thrown open
on Aug 2S- That is something the
entrymen must ascertain for them
selves. He also calls attention to the
fact that none of the gilsOnite or other
mineral land will be subject to entry
under the lottery. and none can be
had inside of sixty days from Aug. IS,
after which time they will be subject
to entry under the mineral land law.
