LIGHT DAY AT PRICE.

Especial 10 Inc HeraiQ.J
Price, Utah, Aug. 2.-The registration
books for Uintah lands at o'clock
showed a total registration of 17S, ten
less than on the first day, yesterday
At no time were there to exceed a half
dozen people at the booths. OF this
number there were not to exceed ten
women, old and young. So far there
have been few persons from the east or
any considerable distance and unless
there should be an influx of people to-
night, tomorrow will be a still smaller
day. Quite a number of people, who
registered yesterday at Grand juno
ton and Provo, come here today and
some have left on the stages and by
other conveyances for the reservation
all getting permits after they have com
piled with the registration require
ments which allow them TO enter upon
the now public domain. Reports from
the reservation country tonight are
that many have QUILTED at Vernal
Moffat and elsewhere on the edges of
the reservation to prospect the forest
reserve cut of the Uintah lands few
days since by presidential proclama-
ton. Great deposits of asphalt and the
several other hydro carbons exist on
the reserve, as well as good indications
OF gold, silver and copper. Many of
those going out from Price are to make
mp prospectors' outfits when once they
have crossed reservation lines.

Provo, Aug. 2.-'When a man files
on hts land he should be prepared to
make his application for water right"
is the way Commissioner Richards
puts his view of the water question
on the Uintah reservation. State En-
gfueer Tanner takes very much the
same view of the matter.
Water rights mean as much to land
seekers as will any holdings they may
get, and their requirement is a main
topic among the thousands of home
Even the fasteners now on the ground
are beginning to ask questions, where
less than a week ago they looked dazed
when water was mentioned.

whether or not it was on this topic
is not known. However, they were

1t then rests with its holders to get
their irrigation supply, and this they
viii do from the state.
Status of Water Problem.
AS matters now stand, here are the
conditions:
The government has set aside land
on the reservation for reclamation
purposes. 1t has, however, made no
reserve Of water. The Indians have
their water rights. other parties have
| made applications in the state engi-
! neers Office. OF these the already pub
lished Meese's application looks toward
selling water to settlers. It asks for
| 252 second inches from the head waters
of the Duchesne river. The Straw
berry valley project has an applica-
ton for another big stream from which
a canal is to take water outside what
/ is now the reservation. a Vernai irri-
! cation company already has water
from the reservation. One or two other
applications ask for smaller grants, to
/ take water to outside districts. All
/ OF which leaves the Meese application
/ practically the only one where the petit
| toner wants TO sell water TO home

| The Indians have taken most of the
| land where Individual irrigation is

/ where cooperation or companies must
/ do most OF the work-land where long
canals will do most of the supplying.
The above conditions are described

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Sale Of Liquor to Any indian Prohb-
tied by State Law.

Sale Of Liquor to Any Indian Prohib-
tied by State Law.
States Attorney H. D. James Of
Charles Mix county has started what
doubtless will be a successful cam
paign to prevent Indians from obtain
ing liquor in Charles Mix county.
Since the decision of the United States
|supreme court some months ago to the
effect that it was not violation of the
federal statutes to sell liquor to an
Indian who has taken his allotment of
land, the state and county authorities
have believed themselves powerless
to regulate the sale of liquor to these
Indians.
But States Attorney James has dis
covered that there is a state statute
covering the question, and his discov-
cry will prove of interest to the au-
thorities of every county in the state
which has Indians among it's popula-
tion. Mr.. James points to section 764
of chapter 81 of the penal code of
South Dakota as ample authority for
state and county authorities to prevent
the sale of liquor to Indians.
The section of the penal code re-
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1905-10-06

ferring to the matter reads as follows:
Every person who shall give, barter.
sell, or in any manner dispose of any
intoxicating liquor to any Indian shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor."
Attorney James maintains that not.
withstanding the decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court this section
OF the state penal code is in full force
and effect, for the federal supreme
court expressly mentioned that Indians
who had taken their allotments of land
were subject to the police power OF the
state in which they resided.
Since the decision of the United
States supreme court the authorities
OF Charles Mix and other counties in
South Dakota which have large Indian
populations have been greatly annoved
by the disturbances caused by drunken
Indians. Crimes committed by the In
dians In Charles Mix and other conn.
ties have largely resulted from the use
by the Indians of intoxicating LIQUOR
Now that it has been discovered
that the state and county authorities
have ample power to regulate the mat.
ter. it is likely the future sales of
liquor to Indians will be reduced IN
the minimum, and that peace will once
more come to the frontier counties of
the state.

and never the sign of house, is now
dotted from end to end with little, reg
ularly stationed sod huts, the homes of
the settlers. Every single quarter Sec
ton on the whole reservation, with the
exception of one forty-acre stretch, is
now taken by claim-holder, either a
legitimate homesteader or squatter.
And for the last few weeks there
has been continuous performance of
field trials with bird dogs on almost
every quarter section. Every settler
even the old-maid school teachers who
have settled down out there-own a
bird dog and shotgun, and they have
kept up constant bombardment
which resembles the fall of Port Ar
thur as shown at the cheap street car
nival.
One unique feature of the Rosebud
to-day, which perhaps would be hard
ment of $500 farms, is the fact that
the reservation is practically cowless.
Despite the recent whole-page picture
of Chicago yellow journal depicting
the Rosebud maidens as they milked
the bOssy COWS, there is scarcely a
milk-giving animal on the whole tract,
and the milk and cream of the Rose
bud settler is bought in tin cans and
shipped in by way of Bonesteel from

big autos with the money which he re-
ceived from the government as his
