I I OPENING OF RESERVATIONS
TO SETTLEMENT
I
I h Speaking of tho opening of the In
i i dian reservations In Montana Idaho
and Washington and the drawings
I
t about to tako place the ButtcInter
i I mountain says
Over and ovor again the department
J agents seek to make plain the governments
S ments policy In respect to the dlstrl
I bntlon of the public domain The
i homestead law contemplates actual
0 I i settlement by the person filing upon
I I the land and that Is the course in
I tended In apportioning the lands In
I the Indian reservations in Montana
Washington and Idaho for which
1 drawings will be made in tho near future
I
ture Doubtless thousands of persons
I I
aro taking a chance in the draw
I Ings who have no intention whatever
of settling upon tho lands should they
be among the fortunate few who are
able to make selections They are re
lying upon the possibility of dispos
ing their claims in the event they aro
i lucky This Is contrary to the statute
i and the persons who offend in this
I way could bo and possibly may bo
prosecuted for perjury
The department as a matter of
course is merely carrying out the
statutes under which these reserva
tions are being opened And yet to
many the law Itself docs not appear
to be fair The lands about tc be dis
tributed aro government property and
11 the truest sense of the word belong
to all of the people simple justice
v ould seem to dictate that no citizen
i hould have more of a right to their
enjoyment than another But that Is
not the caso Congress has declared
that only those who will do certain I
things mat is > settle upon tho lands
and cultivate them may be permitted
to own them
It Is obviously Impossible for tho
porsoifor no mcnns to settle upon raw
land and develop them even were It
his wish to do so The man working I
for wages or the ono on salary cannot
afford to leave his job good or bad to
pottlo upon the lands In question Yet
tho wageearner or tho man on salary
hia as much Interest in tho public
cirmain as any other citizen It would
be to ta interest to draw ahomestead
provided he could dispose of it for the
r money thusubtalncd rnlghl load to tho
competency which he desires Yet
unless ho obligates himself to Hvo on
the land ho Is not permitted to file on
I i the chance offers Ihewcro
permitted to dispose of II some one
who would develop It would be found
and Iio purpose of the statute fulfill
ed As It Is ho must forego o tho
chance of bettering himself because
he cannot afford to comply with the
conditions Imposed
Tho popular though erroneous Idea
that they arc about to got something
for nothing leads thousands to tako
tho chance in the present land draw
Ings So remote Is that chance that
those coming from long distances and
unfamiliar with conditions would havo
showed better Judgment by remaining
at home
RAILROAD NORTH FROM

Goo McFarland who owns a largo
ranch northeast of Kclton came In
from that section yesterday and re
ported the surveyors still at work
crossseotIonlng a line from Promon
tory Point on the OgdcnLuclu cut
off north and In a talk with one of I
the surveyors Mr McFarland was in
formed that a decision had been reach
ed on the route over which the road
is to bo built
The people around Kelton and Ter
race aro rejoicing over the prospects
of once more being placed on a main
line of trafllc and north of Kclton on
in to Idaho the land along the survey
Is being located by dry farmers
If the cutoff Is constructed it will
add materially to the importance of I
Ogden as a railroad center There i
will he a double track built from here I
to the junction point on the OgdcnLucln
cutoff and tho road will bo virtually

Horace Peen glancing at the ceiling
of the council room turned pale jump

Councilman Pccry moved a vole of

Glasmann would kick on the showing
but that there were no politics in It
and he hoped Glasmann would attack
the report He said It showed more
of an accomplishment than Glasmanns

No one hnd attacked the waterworks

COUNTRY NEVER HAD A
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
Henry Clews tho banker never
wrote a more optimistic financial re
view than that of this week in which
ho declares the whole country Is in
a prosperous condition and the out
look Is for an unprecedented period of
prosperity particularly In the agri
cultural districts As to the crop con
ditions he says
Advices from the Interior are uni
versally optimistic and sentiment
here Is equally hopeful From the
great agricultural regions of the West
reports as to crops arc very encourag
ing and hopes for another profitable
season to farmers are gradually ap
proaching realization The com crop
the biggest factor in our business out
look is still Improving and there has
been no diminution In the prospects
of i bumper yield at very good profits
Even should prlce fall below those
realized for the last crop as has been
previously pointed out in theso ad
vlcps it looks as if the farmers of
the United States will this year pro
duce somewhere about S000000000
of new wealth This is a prodigious
amount and must have a very stlmu
kiting effect upon commercial Indus
trial and financial affairs Bankers in
the West are universally hopeful ow
ing to crop conditions Merchants arc
not carrying large supplies of goods
and factories arc obliged to steadily
Increase their output I is true that I
business does not yet equal in volume
tho record attained before the panic
and that owing to inflation of values
he actual Improvement In business is
often not as large as appears Never
theless improvement is tho order of
tliO day and the outlook for a satis
factory fall and winter trade In all
parts of the country Is exceptionally
good especially when the tariff Issue
Is closed whlch will now be at an
early date
Tho monetary outlook in Now York
is said to be excellent and bankers
have fully recovered from their ner
vous affliction following the panic of
1907
1907The question of foreign trado is
dealt with as follows
I Our foreign trade for tho fiscal
year showed some very remarkable I
changes imports of merchandise for
tho twelve months ending June 30 I
wore 1212000000 an Increase of I
about 11SMOOOOO during tho year
This Increase was partly due to re
viving activity of business and partly
due to goods rushed In to anticipate
tariff advances Our exports of mer
chandise during the same period
amounted to 1003000000 a decrease
of 107000000 In twelve months This
loss was widely distributed but was
mainly due to tho shrinkage of exports I
of agricultural products In conse
quence of these fluctuations our trade
balance showed an excess of exfWts I
of only 350000000 In the last Jlscal
year compared with gCG000000 for
the year before Such violent changes
in the current of International trade
of course chiefly reflect tho conse
quences of the panic of 1907 oven
though party duo to Insulllciont crops
and tariff uncertainties The effect
of these changes upon tho gold move
ment was very marked there being an
excess of 17000000 In exports this
year compared with an excess of 7C
000000 In imports in tho fiscal year
ending 1908 For the time being gold
shipments to Europe have ceased but
largo sums are still going to Argen
tina on London account Unless all
Indications fail our foreign trade
should soon return to more satisfac
tory conditions Imports should be
come more normal as soon as taiIff
uncertainties are out of tho way and
our exports should recover somewhat
under the effect of larger crops

AN HONEST POLICY
FOR NEWSPAPERS
Morning Examiner
The question often arises in every
section of tho country as to what the
true status of a newspaper is regard
Ing Its policy Advertisers In many
Instances contend that they contribute
most to tho support of the paper and
that they should have something to
do with the dictation of the papers
policy On the other hand the sub
scribers lay claim to the greatest
patronage to the paper and say that
were It not for the subscription Use
there would be no advertisers hence
the should dictate the policy
Our humble judgment Is that no ono
but the managers of the paper should
dictate Its policy and that the man
agement must reap the results as the
come whether good or bail If the head
work of the paper is faully and the
policy falls to please a majority of
tho patrons whether advertisers or
subscribers then the enterprise must
be marked as a failure while on the
other hand if the policy meets the ap
proval of the reading and advertising
public then success crown the en
terprise
It If recorded that within the last
few months the New York Herald has
sacrificed in advertising from the firm
of R 11 Macyfi Co of New York
something like 11000 because It
claimed tho right to dictate Us own
policy Tho Herald refused to permit
tho big firm referred to to direct in
any way shapo or form the policy
of the paper and the attitude of the
Herald has in most every instance
been upheld and acquiesced In by pretty
nearly all the largo advertising con
cerns of tho country
Molvllle R Stone head of the Asso
elated Press the greatest news gath
ering association of the world Is
quoted as unalterably supporting tho
Herald which means his support to
every other paper of like stamina in
the following language
I heartily agree with Iho attitude
of the Herald In maintaining the In
dependence of Its editorial and news
columns free from dictation by adver
tisers The first duty of a dally news
paper is to its readers and it can be
successful in the long run only If It
is loyal to those readers J its news
and editorial columns arc to ho gov
erned by the wishes or whims of its
advertisers such loyalty Is obviously
Impossible
But it does not slop there It IK
equally in the interest of ovory legit
imate advertiser that such an inde
pendence should be maintained A
newspaper which departs from the ex
pression of its honest conviction in Its
editorial columns 0 which departs
from slrlct accuracy in Its news col
umns ceases to be an Influence pre
cisely in the measure of tls departure
And when a newspaper ceases to
be influential its advertising Is also
seriously injured No selfrespecting
advertiser having knowledge of the
business can doubt that tho best ad
vertisement Is In that newspaper
I which has the confidence of its read
ers No nowspapei can maintain tho
confidence of its readers unless it
treats them squarely And tho Integ
rity of its news and editorial col
umns Is essential to such square dealing
In the conduct of a newspaper o
cry advertisement should be printed
as such so that every reader may
know that he is reading an advertise
ment or reading the news or reading j
an editorial and should never be con
fused In respect of it This is lie
only safe course and the only lino of
conduct which will command public
respect
The temptation to n newspaper to
debauch its columns for money Is very
great and the Now York Herald Is to I
be commended for having set Its face
against all such prcatlces Its ox
amplo will bo helpful to every news
paper and legitimate advertiser in tho
country

PROPER HANDLING
OF MILK SUPPLY
Salt Lake July 27From what Wil
lard Hansen state dairy and food com
missioner was able to learn last week
during a visit to several creameries
and dairies In the Cacho valley dis
trict the residents of that district can
e the Salt Lakers points on the
propel handling of the milk supply of
this city Mr Hansen returned Mon
day morning from a trip to Cacho
county with Herman Harms state
r I chemist and a government Inspector
Commissioner Hanson said the visit
I ors found that the milk Is being fur
nished to the creameries In excellent
condition these places having inspect
ors who Instruct tho persons supply
Ing the milk In the proper manner ot
handling It putting I through the
cooling process and otherwise caring
for it
I The commissioner found that tho
cream which Is obtained from the milk
In the district Is sent as far as Seat
tle and Portland for table use being
cooled down to a low point before
going I Is said that altogether Salt
Lakers would profit by visiting the
district I

The commissioner believes that the
people who handle the milk before It I
reaches the Salt Lake dealers are
largely responsible for the poor condi
tion of the milk here and the frequent
Instances of spoiled milk
BAMBERGER LINE TO
I INCREASE ITS RATES
I
I Rate to Lagoon Resort Will Be
Doubled to Reduce Traffic
Excursion rates from Salt Lake to
Lagoon will be advanced to 50 cents
for adults August 1 and this faro
will also apply from every othor sta
tion on the Salt Lake < tOgden railroad
road to the resort The fare for children
dren under twelve years will remain
at 25 cents and all under five years
will be carried free
This advance In rates will not affect
the Grand Army veterans who are In
Salt Lake during the encampment for
each veteran may procure free trans
portation by presenting his credentials
at the general ofllcc of tho company
I may sound strange to say that
the advance In the excursion rate to
Lagoon is made for the urposo of
cutting down tho attendance at the
resort but that Is a fact said Sidney
Bamberger yesterday The conditions
arc these The company Is putting in
its electrical equipment as rapidly as
possible and with all of the materials
on the ground and a force of 200 men
working on the change this will be
done before fall In the meantime
our steam equipment Is not sufficient
to handle big crowds between Salt
Lake and Ogden and Lagoon and give
good regular passenger service
Of course with the change to
electrical equipment to be made with
in a few months any proposition of
buying more steam equipment Is out
of the question Heretofore we have
been able to give good service to La
goon under all conditions but now
that such is Impossible pen we try
to handfo large crowds we prefer to
cut down the attendance rather than
give poor service with overcrowded

All tickets that have been given out
to excursion committees for sale at 25
cents will bo honored

I Investigation
Annapolis July 27The Sutton In
quiry was adpourncd today Indefinite
ly This action was taken on a ruling
of the court that Mrs Sutton was a
complainant In the caae and all the
officers concerned In tho affair were
made party defendants The hearing
will not be resumed until Lieut Ut
Icy another part defendant returns
from abroad
Major Leonard the Judge advocate
road Mrs Buttons letter to the navy
department asking for a reopening
of lnvcstlgatlon of her cons death
He requested that Mrs Sutton now
be considered a complainant in the
case and not a mere party to the In
quiry and that all the officers involv
ed In tho affair he allowed to be pres
ent In court and he permitted to
croascxjimlnc Mrs Sutton and any
witnesses produced by the Buttons
Mr Davis said his client was not
directing an accusation against any
one person but that he welcomed rep
resentation by counsel of any one oC
the parties Involved
ij ask this board to present author
ity for this sudden change In the na
ture of these proceedings Mr Davis
requested
A long argument between Mr Davis
and the judge advocate ensued
Major Leonard said he had up to
this point avoided making any com
plainant or party defendant to the In
quiry but if there were any doubt in
the courts mind as to the position in
which the admission of Mrs Buttons
letter In evidence placed the officers
concerned in the affair he would pre
sent further evidence to that effect
Mr Davis said he did not appear to
shirk any responsibility in the matter
but insisted that Mrs Sutton was not
a complainant against any particular
person and was simply the moving
party
The court rules that all the officers
concerned were entitled to representa
tion at the Inquiry and Major Leon

Mr Davis thereon asked for nn ad
journment until he could clearly de
fine his position In the case
This now alignment subjected by
the judge advocate places mo in an
entirely new relation to the case said
Mr Davis I am not here as a prose
cutor but to assist In conducting a
full and Impartial investigation Into
the fact and the present situation
appears to force me to decide between
withdrawing from the case or pro
ceeding from this point In an entirely
different capacity
Mr Davis accused the judge advo
cate of Incites in the proceedings by
