is decidedly promising. 1t is proposed
to take Utahs trophies and sill
hibits TO the congress, and as
Utah has always taken the lead in
irrigation affairs we must strive to
make the best showing ever on this

as n dignified method OF discussing

Democrats were going to have a hard
time this year protecting their patents
from infringements.
"'rhe Republicans seem bent upon
Initiating not only our platform, but
our campaign methods. There is,
however, some advantage In the fact
that we are setting the pattern this
year"

over the operation OF the Oklahoma

these do not bite n hook an.l the only

Another objection the Indians are
raising Is that six sawmilis have been
built on the Barron Fork this winter
and ali of them are dumping sawdust
in the river. The sawdust sleeps ia
the water and drives game fish out
just as the presence of certain miner

no authority to do SO.
