WATER RIGHTS
SUBJECT OF MUCH COMMENT

Salt Lake City, July 2O.-A pecul-
lar situation has arisen in connec-
ton with the water rights on the
Uintah Indian reservation, soon to
be thrown open to settlement under
the lottery proclamation.
There is no land on the reserva-
tion suitable for cultivation except
under irrigation. While no person
can file a claim to the land prior to
the drawing, and while ''sooners
are strictly barred from the reserva-
ton, it seems to be uncertain wheth-
err the law embraces the water rights.
In behalf of the Indians, who will
retain the most valuable agricultural
lands on the reservation, Captain c..
G. Hall, L. 5. A., has made twenty
filings on water rights, which are
said to cover practically all the water
supply of the reservation Three pri-
vate corporations have been formed
and have filed on the reservation wat
er rights with the Utah state engin-
eer Owing to the uncertainty of the
law none Of these lcaims for water
have been approved or disapproved
The interior department, it is stat

tion and may protest against the
granting of the claims filed by the
private corporations

MORMONS
Sending Out Viciously
Untrue Stories About
Uintah Country;
They Want the
Lands
Especial to The Sentinel

Denver, July 2O.-''The Mormons
have begun their fight ON the out
side interests wanting to take up
homestead lands for town sites in
the Uintah reservations" says james
+. Gnlbraith, late president of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Correspondents are sending out
from salt Lake City and Washington
the most disCouraging reports con-
corning the undcsirability of the
lands and the impossibility of gcttin.
water. All OF these tclcgIams are
ViCiouslY untrue and are being sent
out broadcast, with view Of pre-
venting the flood Of anti-Mormon inn
migration.
As matter of fact. the Denver
men who have established the town
site of MofIat did this only upon the
representations of the land agent,
who informed them that the new
town site was the center of one of
the richest stretches of country in
the west.
Fort DUChcsnc was located years
ago by the government, beside the
new town site, because of the rich
ness of the country and the ample
supply of water. The Uintah river
flows right between Fort DuChcsnc
ana honut. The land between the
two town sites is superior to any
thing in the Rosebud or Oklah oma
reservations. ArteSian wells have
been sunk in Moiiat, and clear pure
water has been found at depth of
10 feet. There is enough water be-
tween MofiHt and Fort DuChcsne to
furnish water system for a city of
10000 inhabitntntS."
Before selecting the town site, MIR.
Galbraith, who is secretary of the
Uintnh Land ~ Improvement Com
pany, which owns the town site OF
Mofiat, personally inspected the
country with two of the best land eN-
perts in that region.
He says that god lands are plcnti-
ful; that there will be no dearth of
good homcstcads throughout the en-
lire eastern section of the rcserva-
lion, and that there will he no trOu-
Bile whatever concerning water
rights.
Along the White river, the Uintah
river, the Green river and other
streams the lands now open for home
stead entry are ready for occupancy
at once without irrigation.
