FOR "A CITY MARKET.

III a 2 T. ~ 4
Each year the necessity of a market
place IS urged upon the peopl. and
each year follows the other with no
one taking the lead toward establishing
for himself a lucrative business and at
the same time doing the city q. great
favor.
Anyone who has taken the trouble to
look into the matter can readily see
that by the expenditure of something
like $4,000, a market place of the first
order could be established a space
probably Sx16 feet could be tented
out to the truck farmer every day. the
streets could be kept clean and the pub
lie would not have the bother OF the
hundreds Of wagons that are now forced
to stand along the street
Early in April the first wagons begin
to come. Then the number gradually
increases until at this time of the yenr
fully 200 wagons crowd First South and
Richards streets. Many of these men
are forced to get into the city at
o'clock in the morning in order to Sc
cure good position. Then there is
the refuse and litter that collects in the
street. 1t is estimated that it costs
the city least 500 a month to allow
this necessary violation Of the city
ordinances. Ia
{ Then there is another phase to the
proposition. The humane officer could
almost any day arrest the farmers for
cruelty to animals in making their care
worn beasts stand on the pavement for
eight OF ten hours without food or
water. BY 8 O'Clock or 9 o'clock in the
the teams begin to disband
and but few are seen in the district
after 10 o'clock.

BOLD NATIONAL PLAN.

| IT may be that the hardness of our!
country in the adoption Of means for
the conservation and Improvement of
the natural resources OF the land may
be somewhat compensated by the scope
and magnitude Of the operations thats
shalt finally be undertaken.
Those are bold plans Of Arthur Hook.
cr,s secretary of the board Of control OF.
the National Irrigation congress, to;
msnorializel Congress for the issue of 3;
per cent gold bonds, running 100 years.
to the amount of 5000 900 900, are COM
parable with the deep waterway pro-
ject Of the Mississippi valley. h
The bonds are to be used for securing
money with which to develop and make
fruitful millions of acres OF lands in
various parts of the United States now
all but worthless. n
Mr. Hooker explains that Congress
will not be asked to appropriate any
money The returns from the improve
lncnts should pay off the bonds. The
government would simply act as a

would provide ample funds as required
to carry out the work in the several
divisions. at the same time giving the
best possible collateral to those invest

will be used for the drainage OF over

900 acres Of arid and sen,i-arid lands,

To construct and improve deep wa

adequate transportation facilities, Will
require another billion dollars.
The fourth billion will be devoted to
providing good roads and national high
ways. for the lack OF which the loss to
the farm area OF the United States is

These are enormous and almost stag

at first the magnitude of the proposed

RESTAURANT SALOONS.

The following earnest article on
menacing and growing evil is by Jose phi
S. Peery. We take pleasure in repro
ducing it in these columns:
Two evils have been stopped-the
horse races. with attendant gambling,
and the stockade.
A third one is Turing and attracting
boys and girls men and women. against
which vigorous warfare should be
waged. That is the restaurant saloons.
Restaurants Where liquor is sold are
really saloons. though they may be
drcssed up to look like restaurants.
Parents would rebel against their
daughters going into saloons, yet too
often they contplacently permit them TO
go into restaurants where the orchestra
is playing. red wine is flowing. and men
are glazing The drink evil is terrible
wherever found, but it is at its worst
where 1t attracts girls and women. No
girl can afford to so into these restau-
rant saloons. She may say, II do not
drink, hut go there to see people 1
know and to hear the music" If she
continues in the practice she might iini-
tate the example she sees at other ta-
bles and try one glass of Pilscner. 1t
is sthe old story of one thing leading to
another. ut is easier to keep away
from temptation than to get away.

THE WATER SITUATION.

From whatever standpoint one takes
the water situation has been handled
$incompetently and Intellectually this
I year as usual by the american" ad-.
ministration. Three weeks ago there
was entirely too much water. Nov,
i there is a scarcity of water.
These extreme situations in so short
a time show that there is something
radically wrong with the water de-
partment which spends thousands of
dollars each year for construction and
maintenance.
IS When the high water came the de-,
partment was unable to handle it. As
q result. the damages amounted ito
$4,000 in ParieS's canyon. to the res
crvoir and bypass and it will cost an
equal amount to repair the damage
done by City Creek. While this situa7
tion lasted, residents in the north-
western and southern part of the city
were compelled to abandon their
houses in boats. After the foods had
receded, they found that their property
had been greatly damaged and many
OF them are making demands upoi,
the city for restitution.
While these citizens are making dc
mands for damages from foods, tho
residents in the northeastern ana
southeastern part of the city are CRYING
for water. There is not a water fan.-
Inc, however, but the trouble lies in
the manner i'll which the water is dis
