He was called to Salt Lake to give the iron steed the up and down and the double O, and then he was taken on the journey to Cedar .City to be handy if anything went wrong. He is Ewald Paepke, loyal knight of Provo lodge No. 849 and head of the boiler inspection department of the Union ' Pacific shops here. He knows all about boilers and is one of the leading experts of the U. P. system. In order that the last iota, modicum, scintilla or atom of danger be discounted and set aside before the nations chief executive continued on his inland cruise, Mr. Paepke looked at all the rivets and tested the water. When he gave them the high-ba- ll they were ready to go.

There is little doubt but that he was stricken with heart trouble, as he is quite a tall boy and could easily have made it to the pier under normal conditions. The bereaved family has our heartfelt sympathy. We are especially grateful to Dr. Hughes and Senator LeRoy Dixon for their untiring effort in trying to revive him.

By ED. S. HINCKLEY, Secretary Chamber of Commerce Did you ever visualize one continuous city from Provo south, with Provo Bay of Lake Utah reclaimed and the streets from Spanish Fork to Provo becoming long, busy, city thoroughfares? A line due south from the Maeser Memorial building would pass straight through the main street of Spanish Fork. The intervening neck of the lake, Provo bay, is a portion of the land under contemplation of reclamation ai reported by the state and government engineers, or a part of the broad, general scheme now under consideration for the drainage, reclamation and irrigation of several hundred r thousand acres of land in Lake Utah and Great Salt Lake valleys. The particular area in question, approximating 7,800 acres of the choicest soil under the sun can be reclaimed at a cost that it will make it most desirable. With low levees and large pumps the water can be cast back from Provo Bay, revealing a black; loam that has no equal in crop worth Our valley, with Ironton farms, and later cur business streets will extend due north and south across the to east and main arteries of center the on near mountains the the adjacent and the manufacturing now waste on these acres. be for can traffic.1 Thousands of thrifty inhabitants provided The entire area to be reclaimed, including Musida and other districts around the borders' of Lake Utah will approximate 65,000 acres.
