Show TALKS WITH TRAVELERS The present setback In Congress of the longcherished plan to throw open the Fort Hall Indian reservation will not help Senator Shoup any said W C Chrlstman ot Pocatello at the Wey i yesterday This sort of thing has happened hap-pened before and our people are becoming be-coming very tired of the repetition In fact this hungup of Pocatellob hopes may be repeated once too ofen There Is no earthly use In allowing all that valuable land to lie barren and unproductive just on account of a I few lazy shiftless Indians who wont Imprpve the country themselves nor I let any one else do iL There are hardly over ton Indians on the Fort Hall reser vation and ten times that number of AngloSaxons are anxious io occupy the land and dig riches out of it 1C only Congress would lake the necessary neces-sary action There Is a scheme on foot to dicker with the Indians for a concession con-cession to mine on the reservation anyhow any-how but so far nothing has come of It S I SOur S-Our farmers arc in full swing ploughing and doing their spring work said Sheriff Murdoch of Heber at the Cullen yesterday Ve have no snow except away back In the topinpst hills where snows of

to do the square thing by Ileber giving us facilities for egress and Ingress that cannot be surpassed I left home at GAQ this morning and reached Salt Lake at 100 This Is appreciated by our citizens A rail connection expected with Park City fourteen miles distant when the Western has the Park City Salt Lake route standardgauged The Sheriff Is In town as a witness In court 4 506 There was a great fairy story told In the American papers some lime ago by some very untruthful James oC a correspondent at Manila to the effect that lie American officers had been In great straits to make horses from the United States oat local hay until some happy genius thought to sprinkle molasses mo-lasses on the hay and then the horses ate It greedily said Sergt Benson late of the Twentythird Infantry at the Walker yesterday 1 think Filipino vino must have inspired this yarn American horses thrive In the Philippines Philip-pines In some respects better than here and they arc not fed on molases either i I know of one transportload that camo over and not only stood the voyage well but did fine on rice straw and rice itself also on plain native hay and gross without any sorghum trimmings California straw and oats were shipped In at first but the horses have been found lo do BO well on native fodder that the latter Is now being used exclusively ex-clusively thus saving expense of shipping ship-ping In hay and grain from the United States Rice Is fully as nourishing and not as healing as oats American horses are a success In many ways In the Islands They can stand thirty miles a day In any weather and can ford most any of the streams which the native ponies are unable to do and through the staying qualities of American horses the United Slates cavalry brigade has been able time and again to swoop down on a Filipino roost and clean It out where the slowmov InS Infantry could only accomplish the job In much longer time and with more casualties on the American side You take an Infantiyman with 110 pounds of ammunition blankets haversack and other fixings and he wont travel very fast especially on a hot day Yes sir cavalry Is the most efficient arm of the service today In the

present Administration and I through the open Philippine door Connecticut I Con-necticut and other New England States will find readier markets along the Asiatic Hhorps S S S We ralhor expect to see the United Stales lay a cable lo thit Sandwich Islands I l Isl-ands before long with ail oxtt1n lon to J thn Samoan lnbuidsv whencv there ought to he laid two cables one to Manila Ma-nila and one to Australia said Proprietor Pro-prietor A G Horton of the Now Zealand Zeal-and Herald Of course the English Govprninenl would have to be consulted I as to the Utyhjg of the Australian end but there

Filipinos to come to lie same conclusion |
