THE sMELTER DECISION,

The opinion Of Judge Marshall in the
case of farmers OF salt lake valley
against certain smelling companies Is
ono Of the greatest importance TO thfs
region. involving large interests on
both sides OF the controversy The
court recognizes the justice OF the con-
iention OF the farmers. bur In view OF
The fact that the interests involved
are large and the questions decided of
great importance, the defendant COM
80 change or modify their operations,
10 az not 10 continue the nuisance COM
planned OF.
This should be satisfactory 10 both
parties. Tho interests represented BY
the smelters arc OF immense value TO
this region so rich In mineral resources,
but the farming interests are no less
important. It would indeed be ca
lannty IL the farmers should be driven
away and the land become desolate.
There should be some way OF harmonic
ing the two interests, which arr mutu-
ally dependent upon each other.
There Is no doubt as to the reality OF
the damage done to trees aud to crops.
The evidence Is seen for miles along

THE SHADOWS FALLING.

According 20 reports in Eastern pa
pers, Mrs. Eddy, the founder OF the So
called Christian Science church, is Slow
~ passing through the Valley Of the
Shadow OF death. In her home at Con-
cord. n. II. This Is not surprising.
According to the laws OF nature
her years upon this earth cannot be
many. Her departure can be ex-
pected almost NJ any moment.
The striking part OF the reports con-
corning Mrs. Eddy is this. that her fol-
lowers are said TO be concealing her
real condition, maintaining that she re-
tains perfect health. The story goes
that another lady is impersonating Mrs.
Eddy and appearing in public rs the
celebrated originator Of the Christian
Science cult. This understudy, It is
claimed, has made her homo at Con-
cord with Mrs. Eddy for the last three
years. There she has perfected herself
to play the role OF the leading lady, as
II were.
What the purpose OF such deception
Is, IL not as vet entirely clear, but Il
Is supposed that the fortune OF Mrs.
Eddy may have something to do with
H. That lady has made millions on her
books and her religion. and 1t Is claimed
that there Is practically no trace OF
those millions. One dispatch says that
the real estate transfers OF Concord
show that Mrs. Eddy's estate was or.
iginally purchased In great part by her
former butler and brother OF her present
coachman. They also show. It is said,
that Mrs. Eddy's homo, furniture and
jewelry a few years ago were trans
ferred TO her present footrnan and SUI
preme power at her home. 1t Is claimed
that these transactions were not intend
cd for the public view. and that Mrs.
Eddy. therefore, has been carefully
guarded almost as prisoner. Admir-
ers OF the lady have been turned away
from her door, on the pretext that she
was too overwhelmed with work TO be
disturbed, and that she could be seen
only in her daily drives, on which &C.
casions the other lady lmpersonated her.
1t Is asserted that legal action is con-
templated In order TO ascertain the ex-
act truth concerning the condition Of
Mrs, Eddy, as well as the alleged flnan-
oial operations referred to.
Il seems clear that Mrs. Eddy's sun Is
fast setting, ana II the facts are as
represented in the reports, the end OF
her career is rather pathetic. She has
been preaching ldealism. and II viii not
BIO denied that she has accomplished
some good by pointing out the possiblli-
ties OF faith and tho exercise OF VIII
power. As the evening shadows fall
around her. she also seems 10 exemplIfy
another truth that human beings. after
all, are trai. and that whatever excel
lency is tn be theirs, must be won by
divine aid, and not only by the power
OF mind over matter. The day comes to
all Of us when that which Is OF the
earth must be laid aside. when mortali-,
ty must be exchanged for immortality,
In the process OF eternal progression.

UTEs WILL SEE PRESIDENT.

The wandering Utes have agreed TO
lay their case once moro before the
President Of tho United States. They
have been dissatisfied with the reservaI
tion upon which they have been con-
fined, and they have been reported as
being anxious OF obtaining some place
where they could maintain themselves
By hunting. fishing and stockralsing,

which would have amounted to mas
sacre.
Neither the Utes nor the Cheyennes
would court conflict with the United
States troops. They know the fulfil
ity Of armed resistance TO the progress
Of tho white mans civilization, and al
though they undoubtedly would fight

peaceful consideration of their griev-
ances. In tho interest Of humanity,
they should be treated with magnanim-
ity and forbearance. They ought to be

government they have friend, to
whom their interests are as dear as
those OF the white men.

LONG LIFE OF TORTOISE.
London Post.

A giant tortoise. believed to have
lived upward OF four centuries, recently
died at the London Geological Gardens.
The only clue to the age OF this crea-
ture lay In a half-effaced 49, cut into
his shell. and supposed to be the first

idle moment. thus marked the horny
encasement OF the sluggish beast. At
any rate, this much Is known; toward
the end OF the 18th century, Drake--as
the tortoise was named--was captured
in the Galapagos Islands The inhab-
itants OF those regions then regarded
him as bl-centenarian. About a quar-
ter OF u century after hts capture he
was taken to England. Finally he was
secured for the Geological Gardens His
appetite was enormous. Lettuce was
his diet, and he devoured only the
hearts Of the plant. II Is said he could
eat as much as an OK. Giant tortoises
are somewhat rare. and his place Will
be hard to I'LL.

Ii more probable that they belong to an
e-Druidlc period. At the meeting
Of the French society, which was at
tended by a number Of visitors from
foreign countries, various opinions were
expressed as to the meaning of these
ancient monuments. Some thought
them to be OF phallic origin. others took
them to have been sign posts, and others
Judging by adjacent excavations. said
that they were tombstones. The pecu-
liar alignment has been explained by

sombre appearance to these remains Of

FARMS GIVEN AWAY
LARGE TRACTS OF INDIAN
 LANDS TO BE OPENED.
Prospective Settlers Are Preparing for the Run for the 2,0oo, o,ooo Acres to Be Given Away
 This Summer.

This summer will see great tracts of Indian lands thrown open to white settlement, the last of great impor. tance and value to be thus disposed of. The land comprises 2,000, 900 acres and belongs to the Crow, Shoshone and Flathead tribes. When these rich lands have been distributed among the lucky winners of the gigantic land lot teries, the glories of Lo as an exten- sive land owner will have departed. for there will be little more property in the Indians hands worth the white mans trouble in appropriating.
 About 100000 acres will be thrown open in the Crow reservation, in south ern Montana, and the same amount in the Shoshone. or Wind River reserva- tion in Wyoming, several hundred thousand acres to De opened in the Fathead reservation, near Missoula. Mont. It is estimated that from one half to two-thirds of this vast acre age will offer opportunities for irriga- tion, and the rest will be available for grazing purposes. On the estimate of 100000 acres of arable land, divided into homesteads of 40 acres. the new reservations will open opportunities to 300,000 heads of families, and will be capable of supporting farming population of 1,500,000 people, on the estimate of live persons to each family.
 Of course, irrigation works will have to be constructed, but all three reser- vations are well watered, and the gov ernment has begun extensive irriga- ton projects which will reclaim a
