This means that preliminary steps will at once be taken to throw open nearly four million mil-lion acres of Indian reservation lands, comprised in the Uintah and Uncompahgre reservations, in the eastern part of the territory. The importance to Utah of this great addition to the public domain cannot be overestimated. Inquiries are already pouring in from home-seekers home-seekers in every part of the Union, particularly from the famine-stricken sections of Nebraska and Kansas, and thousands of colonists will be attracted to the territory. The legislation authorizing the opening of these reservations was attached to the Indian appropriauon bill as a rider, the original measure having been introduced by Delegate Rawlins in the house as a separate bill. The president is directed to appoint ap-point three commissioners, whose duty it shall be to allot land in severally sev-erally to the Uncompahgrcs and treat with the Uintah Utcs for a relinquishment re-linquishment of their rights. These commissioners are to receive compensation com-pensation at 56 per day, and are authorized au-thorized to appoint a clerk and fix his salary, subject to the approval of the secretary of the interior. Delegate Rawlins, in explaining the course of procedure to be pursued, pur-sued, stated yesterday, to a Tribune reporter, that the commissioners, immediately after they were appointed, ap-pointed, would commence the work of aloiting lands in severalty to the Uncompahgrcs. The Uncompahgrcs agreed to such allotment by a treaty entered into in 1880. As soon as the allotments have been made the commissioners will so report to the secretary of the interior, and the remainder re-mainder of the lands will then be thrown open. Mr. Rawlins thinks this will be effected in less than a year. The commissioners will then treat wuh the Uintahs for the relinquishment relinquish-ment of their rights. The tribe has occupied the Uinuh rcNcrvauon since IS62, and their title, acquired by occupancy, must be extinguished by the f ovemment. They doubtless csact a money consideration, in addition ad-dition to lands in severally. When terms hast been agreed upon the commissioner ill report the treaty, hh in this case, must be rauficd by oonrest, All this will re qwrc linic, and it may be that to years will clause before the Uinuh Land mill he thrun open - Ogdcn Press. ,Vhatl the Coutify he Bonded the q-smu-m d bimJmg the nun iy to hmU a re emit house is f Mie us, The h'.l rfcnif the Uinuh mi Ufcwp$r tpi.

That is where a great many are mistaken. When the bonds would have to be paid, there is not many farms, or other real estate in this valley, but what will be worth one hundred per cent more than it is now, to say nothing about the improvements that will be made. The population of the county will be increased to probably ten times what it is now. You want a new court house now, and you want the money that it will take to procure the material and build it circulated among you now.

Mr. Royle's team v,as crossing on the ferry with Mr. John Jensen as teamster. The boat had landed and Mr. Jensen had suited to drive off the boat when the horses, instead of going ahead basked off the boat into 20 feet of water. Mr. Jensen was caught under the horses and was under them about two minutes before he could cstricaie himself, and when he came to the surf ace he was rescued by Ceo, Jihnn, ho was in a small boat He was tvaly drowned and it ss as with difficulty that he ai brought around alhihi The hwm were hth drowned, but the harness and w-agon saved, G, Pom: To the i!e tl O, It Sfwiham, m Aef.., Msh, a fwt.

It came with such terrific force that it swept every thing before be-fore it. The crops where it passed over are totally destroyed. P. A. Francis crop was very badly damaged. His corrals, sheds and fences were swept away. The water ran into the house of Mr. Francis to a depth of 3 to 4 feet, damaging the household very badly. The north stage was passing along at the time. It upset the stage and smashed things up in general. No estimate of the damage done has been reported, but no doubt it will amount to several hundred dollars. Survey made From Provo to the Duchesne One of the probable results of the opening to settlement of the Uintah and Uncompahgre Indian reservation reserva-tion is the construction of a railroad into Duchesne valley, in the heart of the Uintah reservation. Preliminary and locating surveys from Provo to the headwaters of the Timpanogas river were made some years ago, and it is given out that the heads of the Timpanogas and the Duchesne rivers are less than one mile apart The maximum grades encountered up Provo canyon are less than 2 12 per cent, and when the headwaters of the Duchesne arc reached nothing materially heavier than a v .itr grade would be encountered m i!x run from the divide into the fertile valleys and valuable coal and mineral min-eral deposits of the Ashley Pork country. As yet no initiative steps have been taken in regard to this new proposition, but the Rio Grande Western people arc evincing a good deal of interest in the development of the new lands and the possibility of reaching then by way of Provo canyon. In this they arc not entirely alone, however, as several of the local lo-cal holders of Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern stock arc deeply interested in-terested in many ways in the development devel-opment of the reservation lands, and are more than willing, if the money could be forth coming, to commerce the construction of a Ime that ov!d be a most important feeder to the ousting lie in Uuh, with the pw-i-biluy ever before it of becoming part of a new trunk line to the EasL-Sah Lake Tribune, MASS MEIvTIN(t.
