T Is SAFE to say that no fedora

1T Is SAFE to say that no federal
government enterprise projected or
undertaken in the history OF Utah's
statehood has meant as much to her
as the coming opening of the Uintah
reservation. either in point Of imne-
diate or prospective value and impoT-
lance. Certainly there has been none
which has so generally aroused the in
tereSt of Utahus as has this throwing
open to settlers of 100000 acres of
land of diversified character.
There has been hardly q week during
the past six months in which the pub
lie has not made inquiries Of the press
or the federal officials regarding the
various phases Of the opening. When
il Is taken into consideration that the
opening of the reservation means with
IN the next few years an expenditure
Tor the L nd alone of over $3,O00,O 900,
and probable acquisition in population
during a like period of tens Of thou
sands. some idea OF the immensely of
the proposition and of its import TO
Utah can be gained.

The Uintah Indian reservation. which
will be thrown open for settlement
Sept !, 1905 is "A tract Of land about
fifty miles wide and eighty miles long,
lying i'm northeastern Utah Here are
found some of the highest peaks ia the
state: indeed the reservation is Dor
dered on all four sides by mountain
Tanges-on the north by the UinJah.
ON the west by the Wasatch, and on
the south and east by rugged spurs Of
these ranges.
Timber lands are found in the north
ern and western portions and in the
mountainous districts generally, pine
and cedar Astounding. In the lower
immense tracts suitable for stock
and Farm creeks. in the upper Du-
land.
The Indians have already demon
Etrated on small scale what the bot
toms are capable Of producing and
they have duplicated whatever the Salt
Lake valley farmer has been able
TO do.
Aside from the agricultural and
grazing lauGs there Is good reason to
believe that with the nearneSs Of Park
City to the reservation there will some
day be developed mines Of great value.
Already there has been talk of gold
and copper prospects, while the hydro
EarbOn resources have been long known
to exist. Coal has been taken from
