The costliest Corner Lot.

The highest price ever paid for land
in this country vas S~1,35O,OOO for a
lot 50 feet square in New York City,
and which is now occupied by a prom
inent sky-scraper. In matters pertain
ing to health it is also very costly to
experiment with unknown remedies
to cure stomach, liver, kidney or bowel
disorders. A better and far cheaper
plan in the end is to commence taking
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at once.
Every bottle is backed by a record of
53 years of cures, and can therefore be
relied on to cure you, too. For good
appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia. nau,
sea, heartburn, bloating, latulency,
~eostiveness, female complains. chills,
colds grippe Or malaria, it is excellent.

THE FIRST DISTRICT JUDGE.

Although Governor Brooks term has
been a short one, it has fallen to his
lot to make many important appoint
ments He has appointed two justices
of the supreme court and one district
judge, the latter being Hon. Roderick
n. Matson of the First district. Mr..
Matson is a level-headed, keen, wide
awake, honorable, energetic man. He
combines integrity, industry and capa,
bility. Although comparatively young
in years. he has had an active life and
a varied experience. At Cheyenne he
and Mr.. Kennedy, his partner, have
been actively engaged in their profess
sion for a period of five years. Mr..
Matson was elected a member OF the
Seventh legislative assembly and sery-
ed with marked distinction, being the
author of several meritorious measures.
the most notable of which was the in
heritance tax law.
'Roderick Nathaniel Matson was born
November l, 1871, and is therefore S5
years old. He graduated from Frank.
lin college, at New Athens, Ohio, with
the degree of A. B. in 1894, taking first
honors in his class. Three years after
the degree of A. NJ. was conferred up

law at Syracuse, N. Y, n graduated

change of conveyances with lie Grande

considerable Importance in Salt Lake
City.

OF Red Butte canyon and carries in all
about 1000 acres. When the transfer ls
made to the Government, Fort Douglas
Will then have complete control OF the
water shed Of Red Butte canyon. Of the
canyon itself, and OF all legal rights OF
entry therein. Heretofore there has
been a right OF way up tho canyon TO
the quarries owned by Mr.. Young, and
right of entry upon the reservation
for the purposes contemplated In his
ownership. that has at times been the
cause of some fraction between him
and the authorities at Fort Douglas.
When the Government gets the land
which Mr.. Young proposes to convey
all that will be done away with, and
the military commander at the post will
have full authority and control over
that whole region.
The portion of the military reserva-
ton which II is proposed to give to Mr.
Young In exchange for his land up Red

forty acres Immediately north of the
University grounds, 1t is presumed
that when Mr.. Young gets this land (no

vation; but tho question Is how to
obtain the use OF II upon the land i'm
such a way to prevent friction and to
bar out those who would take the
water merely for speculative purposes.
That country can easily become one of
the richest spots in tho State, or in
the whole intermountain country for
that matter. but certainly there should
be a better regulation of the taking OF
the water and more certainty OF its
availability for the homesteaders who
have gone into that region for tho pur-
pose of making homes for themselves
and building up the country. The
State Engineer has some authority un-
der tho law In limiting the partition,
but when II come to conflicting claims
and to the broad questions of covering
the whole land with the water avail
able as can be done, his powers are
too limited for effective purposes; and
IL would be n good Idea for the Legis-
lature to take charge OF the whole

has ever been before.
The Presidential campaign OF 1908
Will probably not be waged upon any
financial question, nor yet upon the
tariff but upon the internal and inter-
state affairs of our own country. The
effort will be on the one hand to take
national control of interstate concerns

limit such control to State lines as far
as possible, or to avoid such legal con-
troll as far as possible. And II Will be
