MORE LAND OPENINGS.

The skullduggery in connection with
the secret opening of lands in Tooele
county to alleged public, but in fact
favored private, entry, created such
storm of protest that there has been
no attempt to repeat that grating
operation Other lands have been
openeed in the meantime with more or
less public notice; and now there is q
full notice Of land open for homesteads
In Iron county. comprising $4,000 acres.
These entries will be available on March
22nd, A portion of this land requires
residence, and portion does not.
The land was designated by the Gov
ernment under the enlarged homestead
act on October End, last year, but
could not be entered until it was sur
veyed and the plats made and filed,
and now comes the final step in the
throwing open Of the lands to entry.
All these land entries are favorable
for the development of the State, when
they are made openly and fairly Iron
county needs new settlers, needs new
opening Of land: and these new tracts
arc said to be especially favorable for

HEYBURN DRUBS sMooT.

The prestige Of Apostle Smoot in the
United States Senate is decidedly on
the wane with the prospective retire
ment of his great and good friend, his
shield and protector, Senator Aldrich
of Rhode Island, When Smoot
strutted On the floor of the Senate as
the messenger boy of Aldrich, thrust
out by the Rhode Island man to re-
ccive such knocks as he did not care
10 have delivered upon himself, Smoot
was in his glory. And the other Sen.
ators, understanding that he was
simply representing Aldrich. refrained
from any resentment or any quarrel
tagonizc the great head and nestor Of
the Senate.
But Aldrich's course in the Senate
is about run; his power is over. And
Smoot finds quite a different atmos-
phere in the Senate now from what he
