COLONlSTS ARE
BLOCKING WEST
Estimated Increase in Utah's
Population This Year Reaches
Astonishing Figures

Hundreds of colonists are now pour
ing into Utah. and the number will be
constantly increased as the trains from
the east arrive with their loads of east
erni bomeseekers. who have taken advan-
tage OF the low colonst rates.
Eastern ticket agents report that the
sale of tickets TO coonists is greater
this fall than in years.
The low rates went into effect on Sept
and the trains coming westward are
now crowded with men and women who
are in search of opportunity in new sur
roundinSs.
While some of the newcomers will stop
in Salt Lake, still greater numbers Will
go 10 the regions IN winch new agrl-
cultural tracts are being reclaimed.
Some aston ishing estimates are made
or the expected increase in Utah's popu-
lation before the beginning of next year.
IT Is said that while majority of the
newcomers are men, most of them have
families I'm the east who Will come to
Utah as soon as their future homes are
selected.
In some cases, it is said the men who
are daily arriving in Salt Lake and then
setting out for interior points represent
groups of homeseekers, who have adopted
the economical plan of sending one of
their number into the west with the idea
that he can travel over a wider area and
MAKE a more careful selection On a loca-
ton with the money they are willing
to spend. than II each member of the
group made the journey.
The rush to Utah is said to be due in
part to the stories that the thousands
of tourists who have passed through Salt
Lake during the past season have carried
back east with them. These tourists were
able to see much OF Utah and Idaho, and
while in Salt Lake gained additional in
formation concerning the progress in the
intermountain region from the Salt Lake
newspapers
1t IS estimated that the result of the
coming of the army of colonists this fall
win be the adding of 10000 people in the
territory tributary to Salt Lake within
n year.
This will cause the pressing of reclama-
tion enterprises neXte year still greater
than those completed this year.

One of the Indications of the active
condition of the Salt Lake real estate
market is the quick sale of the lots IN
the new Gordon tract by the lutte Bros
company The tract was opened last
l-onday and before the office of the COM
.,dny was closed yesterday afternoGi
thirty lots had been sold to home build
ers at prices ranging from 500 TO sou
chased lots" said Walter G. Tuttie: are
going to build homes, none of which Will
cost less than $1,000.
Most of the buyers came to our office
because of the advertisement which We
had in last Sundays Herald. This We
learned because the buyers mentioned
having seen the Gordon trac. advertise,
ment in The Herald. In this sale we had
convincing proof of the wide circles OF
readers reached by The Herald, and are
very much gratified at the results.
LAS these lots in the Gordon tract are
not of the cheap sort which people buy
on speculation, but are home sites, which
people buy when they intend TO build
residences. il is clear that The Herald
reaches the right sort of people
The number of real estate sales is rap
idly increasing. All OF the dealers have
their hands full answering inquiries and
showing buyers property.

some provision Is made to increase the
capacity of the system. l favor making
arrangements for such contingencies
ahead of time in order that the water
system may always be able to more than
meet the demands placed upon it. This
is true now. but if we allow conditions
to remain as they are we will soon find
that we have an Inadequate supply. The
city is growing rapidly and the new peo-
pie who come here and the people who
will come here five years from now must
be furnished with water. By having 1t

siderable expense and the people will be

Mr.. Kelsey also desires to increase the
city water rights in Big Cottonwood
creek and II will not be many years be-
fore the conduit will be extended so as
20 reach Little Cottonwood, where the
city has already secured some rights.
Part Of the bond fund will be used to
construct the dams at the lakes and the
expense of this work will be materially
reduced. because all the material is at
hand. Mr.. Kelsey says that granite
blocks suitable for the construction of
the dams and which will need very little
trimming are to be found in great pro-
fusion in the neighborhood-

Kelsey, city engineer.
These lakes, six in number. are owned
by ihe city and 1t is the intention to
dam their outlets. clean them out and
make OF them huge storage reservoirs.
PeinS ted by perpetual springs in the
mountains above, the lakes will never
become dry and in case all other water
sources fail they would be able to keep
the city supplied for a month at least.
Mr.. Kelsey says that surveys are now
being made of these lakes and that this

TAX ON STEAMSHIPS
KENTUCKY JUDGE HANDS DOWN
 IMPORTANT DECISION.
Ocean Going ships Are Taxahle Ia Tthe state Where The Corporation Mafntains Ets Legal s
 n3macfle

Louisville. Ky. Nov. 1s-County Judge Arthur Peter today handed down an opinion in the long standing liquidation of the Commonwealth agains tthe Southern Pacific Company involving taxes on. $300.00O,000 worth of property.
 Judge Peter decides in the cases for taxes for 1907 and 1908 that the fran chise tax assessed by the state board of valuation and assessment covers all the intangible property upon which the company must pay taxss in Kentucky and that the county board of equaliza- tion cannot go nack of that and assess intangible property. Tn short. the tax paid on the franchise covers all the taxes coi1ectable h this state except as to tangible property.
 On the second question, Judge Peter holds that the steamsh ips of the de- fendant company which are set out by name to the suit. and which aggregate sS.000,000 in value, are taxable In Ken lucky and taxes must be paid on them. Judge Peted cites. authorities to sup port his opinion that where steamsh ips are not taxed at their actual situs, they must be taxed at the legal home of the corporation owning them. He says that the courts have made the law clear that actual situs" In this sense means the State in which the ships are exclusively used. Thus. the ships of the old Dominion Line at one time piled only Virginia waters, which gave them an actual situs in Virginia. but thest ships. says Judge Peter. are ocean going and have no actual situs any where. It results that they must be taxable somewhere and that in this case the somewhere Is the State where the corporat ton maintains it's legal do- micile. or the State of Kentucky.

Pensacola. Fla. Nov, 1B-(speeiai) Ut has been definitely decided that the bi gsea going dredge Caucus, which was built several years ago for Pen- sacola harbor, Is to leave here as soon as she is taken from the dock at the navy yard.
 She will go, either to Galveston or Southeast pass. where there are ap- propriations for dredging work. and will remain away from Pensacola until such time as Congress makes ap- propriatlons fo rthe maintenance and operation of the boat
 The last Congress made no ap- propriatlon for operating the dredg here, and 1t Is now necessary to either put the vessel out of commission or send her to some point for which money has been appropriated Il would be of no benefit to Pensacola tc have the dredge so out of commission and there will be DO protest on the government sending her elsewhere.
 The vessel has spent four years dredging the channel. and lt is HOW about thirty-four feet at low tide and nearly 800 feet wide.

VISIT CAUSES TRoupLE.
TFtsh-AmerIeana Are Attacked Tn Hous,
 of CommOna.


 London, Nov. I6-The approaching visit to this country of Patrick Ford, editor of The Irish World, of New York, and of oMeagher. Condon, was the oc- easion of an Extraordinary attack in the House of Commons this afternoon.
 James Craig, Unionist member from the Eastern Division of Down, opened the light by asking Premier Asqulth if he was aware that Mir. Ford, who had been declared by three judges to be a known advocate of the use of dynamite. and Mir. Condon, who mad been sentene- ed to death for the murder of an Eng fish policeman, intended visiting this country. Mir. Craig asked also whether licenses permitting them to do so had been issued, and if not, what action the executive proposed to take.
 Earl Wiuterton, Conservative, fol- lowed this up with a reference to the finding of the Parnell Commission, by asking whether any steps had been taken to prevent these well known ag- itators from coming to this country
 Home Secretary Gladstone answered Earl Wine-ton in these words:
 "I am not aware of the intentions of these persons. Neither of them Is a holder of a license"
 John Redmond Immediately Jumped to his feet and hotly appealed to the Speaker. One of the persons mention ed. he informed the Speaker, was an of- fcIal of America, and 1t was in- credible that such epithets were per- mitted to be applied to high o1cial who had been in the service of the United States for twenty years.
 The Speaker agreed that if the state Inerts in question were not true, they ought not to appear. Mir. Craig offer cd 60 send Mir. Redmond proofs of the truth of the facts stated in his ques- ton. MT. Gladstone. recognizing the insufFicIency of his first reply. supple mented 1t with the following state. ment:
 ''Mr Ford. so far as know, has not been convicted of any criminal offense in this country; as regards Mir. Condon, royal pardon, under the great seal was given him in 1878.

 Committee Work.


 Committee Work.
 Denver, Col, Nov. l6.--After week devoted principally to the work of or- ganization and deliberation in commit tee rooms. the twenty eighth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor resumed it's sessions today.
 Committee reports were the first or- der of business. Settlement of juris- ,lIctional fights will consume consider able time and the election of officers will not be reached until late In the week.
 The executive council In a supple mental report, recommended that fur- ther investigation be made Into the matter of congestion of Italian emil grants in large cities and that con- ference be held in regard to 1t with the representative of the Italian gov- ernment at Washington.
 The resolution providing for the ex- ciusIon of Asiatic race was adopted by the convention as reported by the Conn mittee on Resolutions.
 A resolution demanding laws similar to those of England prohibiting the signing as able seannen of any person who has not had at least three years experience on deck at sea" was adopt ed.
 4 resolution introdaced by the typo- graphical union cited the "extreme bitterness of the contest in progress for years in Akron, O.
 In the contest of the Werner Pub fishing Company with It's employees. 1t Is recited that a private detective lost hls life and the resolutions that he executive council be instructed to. in- vestlgate all the circumstances sur rounding this tragedy and contribute to q defense fund of two union men who have been accused of murder.
 Max Hayes. of Cleveland, violently opposed the report of the committee. He told the history of the labor trouble at Akron, and said if thes resolution was not adopted, those on the firing line In Akron will become greatly dis. couraged."
 President James M Lynch. of the ty- geographical union. closed the discus- sion In an appeal for the adoption of the resolution as introduced.
 The recommendations of the Com- mittee on Resolutions were voted down and the resolution was adopted as in- tredueed. .
