Plenty of Room for New Stage Lines.

The reintroduction in this city Of fvecent fare
stage lines. made possible by the passage Of the
Pollock BILL will do much to improve local transit
conditions The existing stage lines have done
GOOD service and have been literally patronized even
az the double fare rate. But they have accommo
dated only limited part Of the uptown residence
section and have been considered chiefly sort
Of sightseeing luxury for the benefit o. strangers
and the Sunday and holiday public.
The restrictions put upon stage routes and the
miserable character OF the service given by the old

an earlier realization here Of the opportunities open

such line can vary its route without expense is OF

Land Withdrawals Not Directed
Against Development
The withdrawal of power sites by
the federal government to the extent
of nearly two million acres has not
been actuated by any desire to arrest
the industrial development Of the
West, but these executive acts have
the constructive purpose Of insuring
the highest use of these most valu-
able portions of the public domain,
The conflict in the use Of our public
land streams for municipal purposes,
irrigation and power, is fully recog
nized and one of the survey engineers
has recently published in a technical
journal a discussion of these relative
values. Not only the dominant TEN.
porary use of a particular stream but
its highest ultimate utilization must
be considered, The use for irrigation
will be given the preference in one
case, the power development in anoth-
er while in a third the stream may be
harnessed so as to serve effectively
both uses.
By far the larger Withdrawals cf
public lands are made not in aid of flu
ture legislation, but in connection with
the administration of an existing stat
ute, the coal land law, which fortu-
nately provides for disposition at
prices expressive Of value. Known
coal lands are therefore withdrawn
from entry only long enough for the
geological survey to make the neces-
sary field examination, and since 1907
coal lands have been sold at prices
fixed by the geological survey prl-
marily on the basis Of the determined
quantity and quality Of the coal avail
able for mining The extent to which
this business policy is being applied
