WASHINGTON, May l4-"Utah is
being settled faster than any other state
of the whole west" declares J. n
Brown Of Salt Lake City.
Few states of the west can show
more varied lands or lands Of better
possibilities, and it is this that is at.
tracing settlers from other states This
is especially so in the case of Idaho,
more than 5000 citizens of that state
settling in Utah during the past two
years.
Zone Of the advantages TO the state
In this immigration, to my mind, is that
none of the new citizens of Utah are
Mormons. The MormonS are not pleased
with this influx of GENTLE blood into
the state, for they foresce that if it
keeps up long enough, and in the same
ratio OF the past year, it will not be
long before their hold on Utah is ia
ken away forever.
=" AS it is at present, followers of
Prophet Joseph Smith control the state
in all political matters, and they are
even able to swing elections In certain
sections Of neighboring states. like
southeastern Idaho, for example. Their
political influence, though, is fast wan
ing In states contiguous to Utah.
Protecting Cattle Range.
Experiments In protecting the cattle
range of the southwest with Il view to
seeing whether it would recuperate af-
ter it had been overgrazed and was
eaten out have been tried by the de-
partment of agriculture with quite sat
isfactory results.

in the Coronado national forest in An
zona, through cooperation with the for

tract were compared with other areas
adjoining, either wholly or partially

Some experiments were tined In re-
seeding the oyergrazed areas, both with
native and with imported grasses. The
| introduction of the imported grasses
was not a marked success. There were
204 varieties both native and foreign,
tried altogether, and 1T was found that

seeding was expensive and not satis'

The lands are under original produc-
tivity in three years Of complete pro-
lection.
Things Are Doing.
Whether or not the Democrats carry
the new house Of representatives, there
are going to be things doing IN The
