The subject of mnking the change
suggested in the above heading is be-
ing discussed and is advocated by
Judge w. r. King. chief council of the
reclamation service.
On the subject Judge King said in
part. at Salt Lake City:
II desire very much to get the rccla-
nation projects away from the private
corporation idea, known as the water
users associations, to that of irriga-
ton districts. The reclamation pro-
jects in the state of Utah are on the
best basis of any that l know of in
the sixteen arid states when 1t comes
to the question of organization, but
they can be materially improved by
substituting in place of the present
plan what is known as the irrigtion
district system. Especially is this the
case with reference to what is known
as the high line system. Under this
system there are several million acres
of government land. These govern
ment lands. as will appear by what |
will subsequently say. will reduce tho
cost per acre to the project very ma
terially."
The irrigation district system with
reference to United States reclama-
tion projects is in use on reclamation
projects in Washington. Idaho and

Many Men Will
Be Employed

One of the greatest campaigns Of
mine exploration and development
ever inaugurated on any single prop
erty in this section of the state is
planned by the Standard Chamical
company at Naturita, in the western
part of Montrose county
Announcement of an official nature
has been made by the management
that $50 men are Immediately wanted,
and work on a most extensive scale
will be under way in short time
The radium mines of the Standard
Chemical company will prove a mag.
net for experienced miners from out
side sections, in view of the ideal To-
cation. excellent weather conditions,
altitude and surroundings in general
Again, the work to be carried ont at
the inception will prove an incentive
for miners to secure positions by reas.
on that surface development will be
prosecuted on a big scale. NuEeI Gus
short tunnels will be driven, while
surface exploration will give employ
ment to men in the open air.
The veins in the property of the
Standard Chemical company appear
in blanket formation. The mine work.
ings are dry and the rock soft and
easily broken.
Steady work has been promised to
all men who secure employment and
it is freely predicted that little trou-
BILE will be experienced in securing
plenty of skilled men to fill the many
positions that are vacant.
The meaning of this big campign
of mine development is not k~own,
but it is evident that a demand has
been created for radium bearing ores,
and that henceforth Montrose county
will proceed to maintain its ling
as a producer of vanadium from which
radium is extracted on bigger scale
than previous to the slump followin,

He made a plea for a new COM

the only hope for this change lies
ina the university law schools.
The chief defects of our legal

its procedural vices and its obstruc-

He said the trouble with lawyers
is that they have what he termed
social astigmatism. p" and added that
legislation known to be favored by
lawyers is opposed by farmers. labor
and the small merchant. The
chaged position Of the lawyer today
is but a symptom of the social dis
ease OF our laws" Mr. Wehle said.

cided 10 do SO. The nervousness has
entirely disappeared and / sleep well

people in this city and vicinity are
now taking Tanlac for stomach,
liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal
complaints, rheumatism, nervous
ness, loss of appetite. and the like.
And in nearly every case in which
il is being tried. Tanlac is bringing
great benefits. In many cases peo-
