Would Preserve SaItonlSea.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 1.-THE arid west
is now asking that the Salton sea,
against which the efforts of President
Roosevelt and the great Southern Pa.
cifc railroad system are directed, be
preserved.
The arid west, during the past two
years, or since the curse of the Colo
RADIO river vas turned by accident and
a great inland sea was formed in
southern Arizona, has been enjoying
an unprecedented amount OF rainfall.
Arguing from effect to cause, the peo'
pie of this region have reached the
conclusion that this accidental inland
sea has brought about unusual atmos'
pheric conditions that have increased
the precipitation of moisture.
1t is believed this vast body OF wa
ter, below the level OF the ocean, on
the hot and baked plains Of Arizona.
will reclaim q vast region heretofore
not capable of cultivation, and make
irrigation unnecessary.
The governor of Utah has sent a
special message to the Legislature or
the subject and the legislature has
adopted a memorial to the president,
setting forth the claim that the Saltor
sink has greatly benefited the entire
arid region by increasing the rainfall
and asking him to desist from his Ell
forts to drain this vast body of water
The Commercial club OF Salt Lake
City has adopted a similar memorial
and other commercial organization:
and legislative bodies throughout the
intermountain region have taken OF
are preparing to take similar action
1t is q fact that within the past two
years there has been al amount O

Walsh Opposes Leasing Plan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - At the
hearing before the senate committee
on agriculture to probe into the ques.
Of the wisdom OF leasing the public
grazing lands, T. j. Walsh, who was
the democratic candida ate for congress
from Montana, vehemently opposed
the leasing proposals, alleging that it
would entail an annual taxation upon
the livestock industry OF the state OF
Montana of not less than 81, 200, 900.
"There are in Montana about six
million Sheep" he said. II infer,
from the representatives Of the for.
estry bureau, and from the present
charge for permitting sheep to Craze
q portion of the year, that the fee un.
der the proposed plan would be 10
cents q head per year. This would
cost Montana annually $500. 900. An
equal sum would be collected from the
cattlemen, and that would bring the
total tax laid on the livestock indus.
try of the state to 81, zoe, 600. That lie
more than the entire revenues of the
Montana state government. The bur.
den would fall on the small as we'll as
the larger owners"
J. NJ. Boardman, of Helena, sup.
ported the proposal for leasing, argu.
ing that it would be q Statutory
measure for both large and small
owners of focks and herds, and that
would be especially to the interest OF
the homesteader.

EVILS Of TIPPING
FULLY SET FORTH

The Board Of Commissioners this
morning heard delegation from the
Business Mems Association, favoring the
enactment Qf the anti-tipping bill. now
before Congress. This proposed legisla-
tion is designed to apply to the District
of Columbia only.
At the hearing of this bill before the
commissioners last Saturday, the ap-
ponents up the hill were out in force,
the only support to it being a set of
resolutions filed from the Business Mems
Association, representing over 20 bust
ness men of the city.
The hearing this morning was for
those favoring the anti-tipping bill.
The Business Mems Association dele
cation was composed Of Capt. James F.
oyster. F. G. Coldren. p NJ Brown. c.
w. Claggett. Allen d. Albert. jr., A.
Leftwitch St Clair, Charles Lincoln, a.
+. L. Lecl1e, Judge Ivory G.. Kimball,
William Guide.
Allen D. Albert. jr. opened the dis
CusSOn by saying his association was
opposed to the giving Of tips. under
conditions that now pTevail-it being
compulsory in that unless liberal tpis are
given walters an inferior service would
be given.
It was shown that the evil Of tip-giv-
ing had reached that stage in which 1t
was unjust, discriminatory. and practi-
cal eXtOrtiOn, that unless tips were
given the service would be inferior, and
a less quantity and less better grade of
food supplied.
Attorney p. NJ. Brown discussed the
anti-tipping bill from a legal standpoint
Judge iKmball saiI this matter OF tip
ping is un-American, void of American
manhood
The Commissioners took the matter
under consideration.
