Toxic, May S.-Assuming that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky meditates a

NO LAND OF PLENTY.
UINTAH RESERVATION is
NOT A PARADISE.
William Scoville of Des MoInes. Iowa,
Says That Horned Toads, Fleas and
Tarantulas Are Principal Products
of the Utah Land just Opened to
Settlement.

The Uintah Indian reservation
which has just been opened to settle
ment is no paradise.
At least this is the opinion of VIII
liam Scoville OF Des Moines, Iowa.
who passed through Pendleton today
on his way from Vernal, Utah, the To-
cation of the land office where the
drawing of reservation land took
place, to the Lewis and Clark expo
sition at Portland.
Mr.. Scovile has been at Vernal lust
a month and says large portion of
the people who drew land on the res
ervation are now leaving there. II
they can sell their claims all right;
and IL they can't sell, they abandon
them.
According to Mr.. Scoville, who was
seen by an East Oregonlan represen-
tative today at the o. R. & N. depot,
horned toads, prickly pear, all imag-
Unable kinds OF cactus, sand burrs,
lizards, fleas and tarantulas are the
principal products Of the reservation
land now.
Under irrigation much of the land
will produce well, but irrigation is a
distant promise. he says. The Indians
are dirty, filthy. vicious tribe and
have been allotted the choice land.
The reservation which is now
opened to settlement, comprises o.
100000 acres. walled in on three
sides by the Uintah and wasatch
ranges and extending on its eastern
slope to Green river, whose tributaries
drain it.
For its greater part it is a waste,
worthless, but there are
many spots which can be used for
agricultural purposes to advantage.
Besides that there are rich deposits
of gilsonite and even gold and silver
to be found in different localities on
the reservation, although the exact To-
cation of the deposits is not yet defin-
itely known.
OF the total area over 100000
acres have been placed in permanent
forest preserve which guards the tim
ber but does not stop the mine hunt
ers; $4,000 acres have been reserved

ly slid from the ways.
The Vermont is a sistership of the
New Hampshire, the Minnesota. the
Louisiana, the Connecticut and the

The ship is designed as flagship and
will be one of the finest warships
afloat. The arrangement of quarters
provides ample accommodations for
following complement: A flag officer,
chief of staff, nineteen wardroom
officers, ten junior officers. ten war
rant officers and not less than 761I
men, including 60 marines. There is
a lower bridge both forward and aft
and flying bridge forward, accord
ing to the latest designs. On the
flying bridge is fitted a screen of
bronze for the protection of the men
