Atty. Gen Breeder gave out an
opinion today OF much importance IN
response to query from County Atty.
Hgtcn Of Wasatch county. Mr.. Hatch
asks regarding the status Of the law
relative to selling liquor to indiarss
within 10 miles OF an Indian reserva-
ton. under the laws of 1901, now that
the Utes have been given allotments
in severaty and their reservation has
become a part Of the public domain.
The attorney general regrets the lack
OF some summary method for suppress
sion OF the traffic IN the vicinity of this
former indian reservation; but the as
slynment OF allotments In severalty has
caused abandonment OF the tribal reia-
ton and the lndians are no longer
wards OF the government, So the laws
OF 1901 do not apply. However. ther Is
a statute, OF 1898, under which prose-
BUTTONS may be conducted against per-
sons who dispose In any way OF liquor
10 Indians. The text OF the opinion Is

my opinion the provisions OF chapter q,

follows: "That II snall be unlawful

miles OF an Indian reservation does
not apply TO what was formerly the
"tfntah Indian reservation for the
reason that this reservation has be-

The grazing reserve, reserve for agen-
cy purposes, reserve for burytng

temptation Of the provisions OF this

not some summary method for the sup

OBJECT OF LEGISLATION.

THE object OF such legislation would
be to put stop to the further deple-
ton of the falls and at the same time
lnhict the least possible injury upon
the important interests now dependent
upon this water power. The amount
TO be diverted on the Canadian side,
SO, 900 feet, has been fixed with view
to allowing the companies on that side
the amounts for which they now have
works under construction. Such legis-
latlon would give to Canada the ad-
vantage of diverting 1900 cubic feet
per second more than Is diverted In the
United States. The advantage Is more
apparent than real, since the power
generated on the Canadian side will, to
large extent, be transmitted and used
I'm the United States. In the negotia.
ton Of a treaty, however the point
should be considered.
