of this Union. Let us encourage them
in their laudable undertaking; extend
to them the kind hand of fellowship.
and help them to carry on the work
so nobly begun by helping them to
build passable roads to get TO and
from their fields of labor.
The counties in which this terri
tory is situated-Wasatch and Uintah
are taxed to their utmose capacity
for road purposes outside Of this
newly acquired territory, and it is i'm
possible for them unaided to con-
struct the roads absolutely necessary,
at the present time These roads are
almost as necessary to the settlers as
food and drink. A delay means adj
ded burdens to their already heavy
load.
diS why thS
Legislature should act in this matter
now, which will readily suggest them
selves, without our enumerating them
here. The settlers there arc mostly
poor and unable with their utmost en-
deavors, to more than barely exist for
several years, until they can begin to
get returns from the products Of their
farms, and these returns they cannot
get with any profit 10 themselves I'M
til roads are built to get their pro-
ducts to market
"If county roads are constructed we
believe the homesteadcrs and settlers
will gladly give the right of way over
their homesteads and farms, ard roads
can be laid out where they will be
most convenient to the travelling pub
lie which would not perhaps, be the
case in few years from now after
the farms were fenced and under cul-
tivation.
"In a few years this country, or
the farming district OF it will be
network of canals and bitches. If the
public highways are constructed ac-
ross these canals and bitches Tie cos,
OF building and maintaining bridges
will fall upon the public. II the
canals and bitches are constructed
across the public highways the en-
pense of building and maintaining
bridges will fall upon the owners of
the canals and bitches. This point
may be worth considering"

GOOD ROADS AND THE LEG
ISLATURE.


the question of road improvements
in the state There is nothing more
essential to the advancement OF the
material interests of the state than
improvements to the highways The
house seems more alive to that fac:
than the senate. TEs fairly reason
able measure passed by the house is
held up by the committee Of the sem
ate without any sufficient cause. Pen
ny wise and pound foolish is the plan
the Legislature is pursuing in this re.
gard. For instance the legislature
wants to use the state engineer to
plan and supervise the construction
and repair of roads when everybody
knows that work is out of h.5 province
and should be done by a m.n or men
who make an especial business of road
building Speaking of road improve
ments there is no place in the state
where roads and bridges are more
needed than on the former Uintah
reservation now occupied by settlers
who are making homes and building
up the country. We clip the follow
ing on this subject from the Wasatch
Wave:
"A bill was introduced i'll the Sen.
ate by Senator Rasband making an
appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of locating, surveying, and con-
structing roads and building bridges
in the territory, embraced within the
former Uintah Indian reservation.
The bill in full is as follows:
BE it enacted by he Legislature OF
the State of Utah:
Section I. That the sum OF TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars is hereby APP
'-opriated out OF any money in the
ate treasury not otherwise appro-
priated for the purpose Of locating
surveying, and constructing roads
and building bridges in the territory
embraced within the former Uintah
Indian Reservation situated III Wa
satch and Uintah counties; $4,000. 90
thereof to be expended under the di-
rection of the County Commissioners
of Washington county and $1,000
thereof under the direction of the
County Commissioners of Uintah
county
This bill ought to pass. 1t would
be the best investment that could be
made by the state. We have here a
vast area of arabic land that only
needs the touch OF industry TO make
it one of the richest agricultural dis
tricts OF the state.

facilities for irrigation This is with
out doubt the best watered district in
the state, and with little encourage
ment bids fair to rival in point of ag-
ricultural wealth any other district of
equal area in the intermountain re-
gion.
Since its opening, & year ago last
August there have been i777 home
stead entries made within this terri
tory and ninety soldiers declaratory
statements filed. OF this number
there are at least 1000 homesteads OF
farming land on which the home
steaders are struggling to make for
themselves comfortable homes.
while there is more water that
can be made available for irrigation
than in any other section OF like area
in the state, it requires vast amount
of labor to make it SO. Canals must
be constructed at enormous expense
to the komesteaders, to bring the
water from the rivers on to the farms
of the settlers By government meas
urement of the various streams, it is
shown that during the months of
May, June and July .he average or
mean flow is about 1900 second feet in
the Duche ine; 800 second feet in
Strawberry; $50 second feet in Lake
Fork and about $50 second feet in the
Uinta.
This gives a mean flow for these
three months which covers the grow
ing season, of $500 second feet OF
water that can be made available for
irrigating purpose, the irrigable
land is so situated that his water
when used will flow directly into the
natural channel or OF to farms below
and can be used over several times.
at is estimated by careful calcula-
ton that there is sufficient water in
the streams flowing through the res
ervation to properly irriga'e at least
100000 acres of land.
I'm the homesteads already taken
there are about 100000 acres OF irri-
gable farm land and 10000 acres OF
farm land allotted to the Indians the
greater part OF which is subject to
lease for terms of five years. These
Indian farms can be leased at less
than it costs to pay the annual assess.

Alabama and The Railroads.

Alabama is another Southern state
which is having troubles with the
railroads and which as result of these
troubles is likely to find itself in scrl-

Virginia ard North Carolina, but sub
stantially the same principles are in

passed three laws Of Importance. The

freight rates were established for more

law was passed making the penalty OF
a railway appealing from state TO

cense to do business. This license 1or
corporations outside the state costs $40.
The Southern Railway appealed from
q state court decision and the federal
Judge decided that the rate laws were
unreasonable and should not be en-
forced. Then the state revoked the Ii

pass a law providing for putting the

within less than two months of each

kept our plant tolcrably busy if we
