UTES AGAIN UNRULY.
Have Broken Out on the Cheyenne
River Reservation.

The tribe of TIE Indians which more
their reservation in Utah and created
trouble in Colorado and Wyoming by
threatening to take the warpath and raid
ranches Is reported to have again broken
out on the Cheyenne river res rvation in
South Dakota, where the tribe was given
temporary quarters. At the request of
the Secretary of the Interior the War
Departmnt has ordered troops from Fort
Meade. South Dakota, to the scene of the
trouble. The character of the outbreak
is not known here.
Col. Downs a special agent of the In
ervatlon and telegram was receivd from
him saying that the ties had become
unruly and troops are needed Fort
Meade is about 100 miles from the rcsar-
walton and ii will be necessary for the
cavalry To make a cross-country hike -
d there is no railroad between the two
points.
1t was dissatisfaction with advancing
civilization that caused the ties to leave
their reservation In Utah and take the
road the last time.
The Secretary of the Interior finally
agreed that the Indians would not be
compelled TO return to Utah. but that
hey must settle down on some reserva-
ton. At the Utes' request the Cheyenne
river reservation was selected and two
townships were leased for a period of five
years in order 10 supply thcm with
homes.
There are about coo of the ties that
may be involved, including many young
Indians. among whom the greatest dis

PHOTOGRAPHS OF MARS.
Return of Prof. David Todd After
Observations in Chile.

Local astronomers and scientists are
interested in the seven thousand photo
graphs of the planet Mars taken by Prof.
David Todd in Chile. Information as
been received here that Prof. Todd reach
ed New York yesterday on the stea mship
Colon from the Panama canal zone. He
is said to have made an exhaustive study
of Mars at Tapaca. sixty miles above
Iquique. Chile. in a desert place where
the observations were conducted without
interruption of any sort. Tapaca is said
to be an ideal place for work of the
important character conducted by Prof
Todd.
The astronomer named is said to have
employed the largest teNnscApe ever set
up in the southern hemisphere: that the
sky was clear and splendid photographs
were made showing the marvellous canals
on Mars. not only the single ones, but
double or parallel canals. which caused
a noted scientist to remark recently that
Mars is certainly inhabited and the Mar
tians are wonderful people beyond our
most extravagant comprehension
1t is said to be the hope of some of
the local scientific men to have prints Of
Prof. Todds photographs brought to this
city.

SSdn AND UPWARD. ACCORDING;
TO STEAMER AND LOCATION
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-05-23

as queer that every contractor but Mo-
ran has difficulty with the administra-
ton in some way or other. If it isn't
row over conditions or allowances or
payment, it is a fight with the council
that binders work and finally ends in
the abandonment OF the contract With
Moran it is different: IL he isn't getting
what he thinks is ample profit, he
sends word to the council that he needs
about so much for extras on the job.
That settles it, the extras" are allowed
and paid, Moran goes ahead with an
other job, gets more extras and re-
peats the performance In continuity
of program. he has all the vaudeville
circuits wearing hobbies and carrying
weight.
Just one thing may be said of Moran.
however. He doesn't WEIGH on his
work. and it is usually good work when
he does it. That may be because the
city administration stands behind him
and pays him enough to warrant SUBJ
stantial construction; and his record of
allowance for extras alone ought to
furnish a good margin of profit. Be
that as it may, he doesn't ask to be
released from his undertakings. and
there seems TO be a suspicion that he is
facilitating the abandonment of con-
tracts by others just for the fun of
doing their work himself.
Come to think about 1t, though, the
property owners ought to be wonder
ing by this time whether there is any
city administration at all or not; and if
there is, what it amounts to. Omit
ting Moran, there seems to be- no one
in authority who can get anything
done; the mayor certainly cannot, the
board of public works admits it can
not, the council either cannot or will
not, and the public is sure nothing is
being done-always excepting Moran.
In view of the facts, the man who in
troduced Moran to a stranger in town
as "Mr. Moran; the mayor and city
council OF Salt Lake" wasn't so far off
as he thought he was.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-05-23
ANOTHER CONTRACTOR QUITS.

Following the illustrious example of
other city contractors-always except
ing P j. Moran-one James Kennedy,
who has the sewer contract in lower
Main street. refuses to do any more
work. Kennedy says his reason is that
he has struck water in the trenches and
must be paid more money before he will
proceed: others say Kennedy is tired
of working on promises and wants as
surance that he will be paid in cash.
Whatever the reason, the sewer is not
being dug. Moran refuses to do his
paving until the sewer is out of the
way, the property owners are wild be-
cause Moran will not help them, and
the best the city administration can
promise is an undertaking to see what
can be done.
Meanwhile the board of public works
is ordering Kennedy to go ahead, just
as it has ordered other contractors to
proceed, and with exactly the same
fruitless result. AS nearly as can be
ascertained, the board of public works
is helpless, the council is helpless, the
mayor is. if anything, more helpless
than either council or board, and the
public is doomed to go without its i'm
provements except where Moran has a
clean field to himself.
Possibly if every other contractor
abandons the field of public works, Mo-
ran can be induced TO assume all the
work left by the others, at comfort
able advance in price over the original
contract figures. OF course, Moran
would be sorry to see everybody else
quit, and it would hurt his feelings to
be left alone in so large and profitable
a field, but still it is easy to believe he
would cheer up long enough to take
everything Insight
The unduly suspicious may regard,it
