AS TO SWAMP LANDS.

We are glad that the conference Of
representatives of the Agricultural De-
partment which was held I'm this city
on Friday took up the question Of
swamp lands, especially such swamp
lands AS have been made so by the
settling upon them OF the waters from
tracts lying higher. This seeped water
is usually impregnated with alkali. and
so the swamps that It makes are the
most hopeless and dreary OF all
swamps, as long az they are suffered to
remain swamps,
Much OF the land so ruined was at
first good land. many excellent farms
have had to be abandoned because of
this seeping of alkalI water upon them.
Many hot lawsuits have been fought
because of the damage thus inflicted,
And the destructive work Ia still going
on
one cause OF the ruin unquestionably
is the over-irrigation of the higher
tracts, from which this alkali water
has come. Another is the failure to
provide relief by statutory easement
through ditches that might drain this
seepage water off through adjoining
property. The same right of way
should be provided for drainage bitches
that exists for irrigation bitches, and
II such drains could be tile drains, so
much the better
There can be no question Of the i'm
Dortance OF this subject. The reclama-
ton OF lands ruined by over-irrigation
Is less In Importance only TO the recla-
nation service by way of new irriga-
ton. And 1t is high time this form of
reclamation were pressed upon public
attention.
Closely allied TO this reform is the
question that was dwelt upon with en-
phasis at Fridays conference, that of
using water sparIngly in irrigation
Were this done, there would be little
waste water running upon lower
lands and making alkali swamps of
them. Also, n given quantity of water
would properly irrigate double the land,
where II Is now used 10 drown it out
Both questions are OF the very high
est Importance in Utah, and we COM
mend In the strongest and most earnest
manner the efforts of the agricultural
experts to bring into practice the bet
ter methods. They will, when adopted
bring immense profit TO the State.

A WOMAN ON THE BOARD.

We commend the active movement of
the ladies To have n woman member
named for the Board OF Education
There is a vacancy in the Fourth Ward,
and the Board does not seem able 10
I'LL this vacancy from the men who have
been proposed as members. The ladies
offer the kindly and appropriate sugGes-
ton that n woman member should be
given the place.
The teachers in the public schools
are mostly women. The mothers OF the
pupils have a more direct and intense
interest in the school work than the
fathers have. The women vote. What
Is the reason. then, that they have nov
er been representa- I'm the Board of
Education? or all places of public SER
vice, dignity. and obligation, 1t would
seem that membership on the School
Board, not only In this city but through
out the State. would be the peculiar
service that the women would choose
for themselves, and. choosing, obtain.
TO good result
II seems to us not only that this is
appropriate, but that it is 80 eminently
hitting and proper. that no argument
should be needed 10 enforce the propo-
sition. The work of training the chill
dren, and imparting instruction to them
has always been recognized as the part
of the mother. There is. therefore, In
the suggestion of filling this vacancy
with a woman n return 10 first princi-
pies and to "A practice commended
through the ages. In the growth and
development OF our race.

suggestion, as we'll as the admitted pri-
macy of women In the Instruction.

do not see on what grounds the Board

TRADE AND BUSINESS.

noteworthy event OF the past week
on business lines was the visit paid on
Wednesday, by the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association Of this c.ty
to the towns southwark on the Salt
Lake Route, as far as Nephi The re-
ceptIon OF the association at all points
on the trip was enthusiastic, and the
feeling in support OF home manufactures
and home trade was much strength
ened. The sentiments expressed on this
occasion were most cordial. and the
friendliness OF trade relations Were ma
and will have lasting effect in the
right direction.
The week has seen the Inauguration
of practical construction on the Western

this VIII be extended to the river, where
temporary bridge Will allow Of con-
stTuction westward to the grade that
runs coastward from the point Of the
range. The buildings in the way of tho
construction Of this track to the river
are being torn down. Activity on the
western end Of the line is also in full
vigor
Yesterday morning we had the excel
lent news that Mr.. d. H Moffat had
succeeded In financing his railway line
from Denver to this city, and that work
would be pushed on a large scale for
It's rapid construction. This road is
completed through the main range to
Sulphur Springs. and VIII probably fcl-
low down Yampa river to the Green
thence through the Nernal and Uintah
country TO this valley. This is great
news for all the eastern part of the
State as well as FOR this city.
Trade Is good In Salt Lake. as is seen
by the enormous increase of SSi per
cent in the bank clearances, the past
week, compared with those of the cor
responding week last year Collections
are fair, and the commercial situation
is strong, The realty market Is firm
and active, and the business outlook Is
bright.

BOSTON CHURCH HAS GOOD PLAN.

BOSTON CHURCH HAS GOOD PLAN
Spokane Spokesman.
The lack OF congregational singing In
churches has often been q subject of
regret and has been felt to detract In
"a great measure from the full enjoy
ment of Sunday services. To remedy
the defect Boston church has planned
10 station a dozen or more young men
and women with trained voices here
and there through the congregation to
lead in the singing OF hymns and in the
responses.
This ought to produce a distinct and
welcome Improvement In the worship
from the congregational point Of view.
The voices of the choir, while supposed
to lead In singing, are so apart from the
congregation that practically all OF the
song service Is carried on by the choir.
Under the new plan the results can not
but be pleasing. The first effect will
be to increase the body OF sound arIs-
ing from the congregation and With this
increase OF vocal volume there Will
come naturally a greater fervor,
