the reservation, prospects, climate, etc.
has some valuable advice for travellers
by team desiring to go to Uintah reser-
walton. This follows:
Travellers by team from the south
should come via Price; from the east
via Nernal. and from the west via
Heber. The road from Price is Travelled
by freighters and stage line. which
carries the United States mail, express
and passengers. There is also 2 tele-
phone line from Price to Ne-nal. The
stage fare from Prize to Fort Duchesne
is $40.
In going from Heber take the road
to Daniels canyon. and keep the lower
road. across the reservation to the
Duchesne river. then follow the road
across Blue bench. other roads are
usually steep and unused. and are suit
able only for light rigs or saddle
horses"
Having landed at Vernal. where Is
located the United States government
land office the landseeker proceeds to
register. There is no fee attached to
this. the applicant declaring simply his
intention Of participating in the federal
distribution.
Advantages in Being Early.
One point must be borne in mind
here-the first person to register has
absolutely no advantage over the last
excepting that being first ON the ground
he may have an opportunity of looking
over the reservation for the purpose Of
famiIiarizing himself with the tract he
would like to enter. He may gain an
intelligent idea of where 1t would be
best TO locate in case he SHOULD be
one Of the first half dozen, but being
first to register by no means ensures
that he viii be the lucky one whose
right it Will be to make the initial en-
try
When a persons turn comes he may
make his filing on the land he wants in
any amount from forty to $50 acres, so
long as it is contiguous and conforms
to the legal subdivisions Of the govern
ment sections. When the land Is all
exhausted. those who are uniUcky
enough not to have had their names or
numbers drawn Will Of course. get left.

Father Curriers' Lecture.

The first lecture in the course of Rev.
Chas. Warren Currier in Carroll Institute
was delivered last night to an audience
much larger than could have been expected
from the incemency of the weather. His
object In choosing his subject, "Architec-
tural Rambles or the Rise and Progress of
the Art of Building he said, was to carry
his audience away from the cares and petty
annoyances of everyday life to scenes of
other years, of which the evil is easily for
gotten. while the true, the good and the
beautiful float above the wreck of time
Another purpose ne had in view, he said,
was to contribute his mite toward raising
the minds of his countrymen above the
commonplace life of the factory. the steam
engine and the "almighty dollar" to a
love of the true and the beautiful, and he
would feel happy if he might plant grain
of mustard seed that would develop in the
future
That part of his discourse in which he
dwelt upon the style Of ancient Greece, was
filled with poetry and pathos.
Toward the end of the lecture, in treat
ing of the Gothic civil architecture of the
middle ages, and showing the old palace
at Florence, he spoke feelingly Of Savona-
rola. whom he greatly admired, and whom
he could not love. while he could feel great
love for the gentle bishop of Geneva, Fran
els de Sales. The good that the unyielding
Savonarola tried to effect died with him.
while the influence of st. Francis de Sales
will never die.
The lecture was a complete success from
a didactic and artistic as well an ora
torical point of view, and was listened to
with great attention by the audience.

SUCCESS OF G. A. PROCTOR.
Washington Boy Who Has Made His
Way in the World

The success of Mr.. c. A Proctor, a for
mer Washington boy and son of Mr.. w. II.
Proctor of the Post Office Department, in
charge of the municipal asphalt plant of
Detroit, Mich, is indicated In article
published in a recent issue Of the Munich
pal Journal and Engineer. Mr.. G. A. Proc
tor was for several years employed in the
District government service in the office OF
the inspector of asphalt and cements, I'M
der the immediate charge of Prof. A. w.
Dow During the early spring of last year
ne went to Detroit to assume charge of the
municipal asphalt plant installed by the
city of Detroit an experiment.
Under Mr.. Proctor'S charge the Detroit
plant was put into operation in June last
year and the cost of operating it for twen-
ty-two weeks was $4,000. Figured on the
basis of the prece ding years prices for
patching and resurfaceing, the plant, 1t is
stated, has more than paid for itself In the
part of season operated, and the officials
believe they have ia better grade of work
than the city ever received on contract
with outside parties. The total yardage
placed by Mr.. Proctor during last season
was 58591.95 and the cost of the work
patching and resurfacing was 81 cents q
yard. On one contract alone S3,747.01 were
saved by the work being performed by the
city.
The success of the plant has induced the
authorities of Detroit to make arrange
ments for the installation of second plant
in order that all the paving may be done
by the city under the supervision of Mr.
Proctor.
