Great Empire of Natural Resources
Is the Uintah Indian Reservation
The opening of the Uintah Indian
reservation in the eastern part of
T*ah. which takes place August 2k.
has attracted widespread attention
and the railroad companies repre
sented in Denver and the Grand
Junction Chamber of Commerce have
been deluged with letters of inquiry
as to how the lands will be allotted
the coat of registration and ru-,
try.
There will be 1,069,000 acres of,
land available for entry, and there'
will be in the neighborhood of 11,-;
parcels of 160 acres each. This
means that there will be 11,000 per-,
sons who will be lucky, and each of
these must prove up on the land and
pay the government for it at the rate
of 11.2* per acre. Of this amount
•25 c<»nts must be paid at the time
the entry is made, or 140 for the
entire 160 acres. In addition to this,
amount, the lucky applicant must
pay the entry fees and commissions,
which amount to 116. making a to- ;
tal of 156 to be paid out at the time ,
the entry is made at Vernal. Utah.
Previous to making the entry there ,
•is no cost to the applicant. There,
is no charge for registration, and the
only expense is a fee to a notary pub- ,
lie for making an affidavit that the!
applicant Is not already the owner
of 160 acres of land and has not a!-;
ready exercised the homestead priv-j
ilege.
The method of drawing and the |
rules governing it are fully explained
in the proclamation issued by Pres
ident Roosevelt, which reads as fol
lows:

act of congress, approved May 27.

homestead laws shall pay therefor at
the rate of 11.25 per acre.”

Umpire Wins Game.
I Yesterday afternoon at 2:30, the
j ball game getweet the Grand Junc
i tion team and the Glen wood Springs
; bunch was called at the Glenwood
ball park.
The game was a hot one and the
I victory should have been Grand Junc
tion's. but the umpire was evidently!
; w «ll chosen and well trained by the
I Glenwood bunch, and such rotten de
j visions have seldom been heard on 1
lan American diamond. He decided
; unrnistakeable “safties” as “outs”
j and all balls thrown by their pitcher
| looked the same to him. If one J
[Judged from the man's decisions, it f
| was undoubtedly the- first time he
j ever saw a base ball, let alone a ball I
J game.
The Grand Junction ball team la-
I bored under an enormuos disadvant
age. and it was a clear case of um
pire's game. The game ended with
• the score 13 to S In Glenwood's fa
! vor.
After the game, a match game was
arranged between the teams, and the I
umpire did a little better in this
game. The score was 3 to 2. This
was a good game and the teams were
out for blood. The umpire could nor I
or was not allowed to throw this
game as easily as he did the other, j
bur the general opinion was that he
managed to cast the deciding vote.
