Editob Nation. The holders of rights to the nee of water in this county are becoming greatly excited over the probability that the State through some constitutional provision will deprive them of their water rightr. To all such I wish to say that their fsnr is wit boat foundation and in order to correct some of the false doctrines in regard to the ownership of the public waters that have been, disseminated of late through tbe press and at farmers meetings I beg a little space in your columns. I am in favor of tbe State retaining its proprietary interests in tbe waters within its boundaries for the following reasons: 1. Thp State can do this without confiscating any acquired fold worse. We have but a ' scanty water supply. At present we are not irrigating one acre out of every hundred acres and nnder the best regulations which the legislatures cau devise we will never be able to irrigate more than one acre in every forty.' Now we need no prophet to teH us that if Utah publishes to the world that money can buy her scanty water supply it will not 1)6 long before investors will take advantage of this privilege, for by purchasing the water supply they can control both land waters. 6.

There seemed to be a universal aud most commendable desire among the Constitution makers on both sides of the political fence this morning to prevent, if at this forenoon session a recurrence of the methods which clogged and impeded the convention bnsiuess yesterday. Very few. if indeed any, of the members are pleased with the soectacle of 107 distinguished delegates devoting the greater part of the regular meeting period to correcting minutes aud discussing the qu Potion of employing a 94 a day committee clerk. This was the confession openly and freely made on all sides yesterday, nnd the fact that the delegates - sense the simation themselves indicates that a change which contemplates more expeditions work is close at ln.nd. The committees as a rale have been diligent in the performance of their duties and the Convention can profit immeasurably by imitating their examples in the con sidemtion and disposition of the matters bronght beforo it. . poa-eibl- e. , - -- U HUNn Hi Tins GHARu cEYuT TO JAP AN- - to Favor And Full Authority Given Him to Arrange tlis Been Trarela in Stite.
