Now, however. Senator Smoot has wired Mr. Kirkham for information and data covering reclamation in nearby counties, especially as to any relationship which would tie tho new project to the practically combated one in the Strawberry district. Mr. Kirkham calls attention to the fact that this thought is a most happy OM. Congress, he says, is very slow sad much time is required when it come to the consideration of an entirely new reclamation project. However, when a new one can be logically to an old one in order to complete it, the way is made very much ' r and a much shorter period of is required. Idaho has benefited nously by the policy of tying one reclamation project to' another, until she has secured many times as much federal aid as has Utah. Word has been received from the Fact Finding Commission at Washington that their report will be ready to be submitted abrat the end of February and Mr. Kirkham and those associated with him in the proposed project are very cutout that when the Commission hearings in Salt Lake City and s investigation, that their will favor the tying up of the Salt Lake County project with the old Strawberry Valley system. The View taken by the men most conversant with the proposition, including Utah's Congressional delegation, is that one project can he made of the Strawberry, Utah Lake and Salt Lnko County projects. Mr. Kirkham points out the follow ing information as a brief outline of the plan of consolidation, and of solving the reclamation problems which confront Salt Lake and Utah Counties. The economic value to Salt take City and also to Salt take Valley of reclaiming the 15,000 acres of land can hardly lie overestimated. Salt Lake County contains 35 per cent of the imputation and 48 per cent of the wealth o fthc State; while Utah County ranks third and is enjoying a period of rapid industrial development due to the new steel mills. The lands on the eait side of Salt take Valley it is proposed to irrigate have lieen declared by Miles Cannon, Field Commissioner for the United States Reclamation Service as being of equal quality with the favored sections of Waahington, Oregon nr California. Salt take City offers the market possible for products which could be raised within a radius of but a few miles, and transcontinental railroads would inaurc easy means of shipment outside of the state. Colonisation would not he necessary, culinary yea tor is available, and everything points to the ability of th-- land owners to repay to the government the funds expended, in a tweqty year period without interest.

Except for faded bits of recollection, most of us are in oblivion as to the procedure inside the walls of school buildings. We see scattering groups of youngsters trudging to ana from school, but comparatively few parents really know what their children do there; what a modern school room looks like on the inside, or how the major portion of onr taxes is spent. Modern school buildings, modern class rooms. and modern educational methods are inspirational. Rapid strides have been made during the past few years and the use of more scientific principles, has greatly enhanced the value of our school systems. The Chamber of Commerce recently urged the importance of visiting schools on the regular days set aside, and it is equally desirable for par Creek and Big Cottonwood, leys, thus insuring ample water supply for an indefinite period into tni future. Some of this culinary water is needed in the valley, where it would be of great value owing to the poor quality of well water now in use. As a result of the Strawberry irrigation project in the southern portion of Utah County, and because of the overflow from other streams, Utah take is in a flooded condition and valuable lands have been inundated and made, valueless. Government aid has been asked to lower these waters, and it has been proposed that the channel of the Jordan River be deepened sufficiently to accomplish this end with the assistance of pumping plants, if necessary Since the Strawberry project is the principal cause, then that project can hardly be considered complete until this surplus water is taken care of. If this can be done in connection with the Salt take will be County pKkoittonthen-ther- e a definite tie which is very desirable.

W. Parratt, Superintendent of the Granite School District, and the members of the Board of Education have endorsed the plan and it will no doubt be adopted by associations whose entire program has not already been outlined. Following is the letter from Mrs. Carlisle: "January 2, 1924 AssoPresidents of Parent-Teachciations: Todays mail brought a few copies of Governor Mabeys recent address on the enforcement of law delivered at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce on November 7, 1923. Please find one of the copies herewith enclosed. It has been suggested that during the present school year at least one assomeeting of each parent-teachciation of our district be devoted to the consideration of law enforcement and its effect upon our boys and girls, the coming citizens of our country. What would you think of consulting the principal of your school with the thought of holding such a meeting! The suggestion has also been made that the county attorneys office, the sheriffs office, the Juvenile Court, tne justices of peace, and practicing attorneys might be called upon for speakers in case such a meeting is held. You will remember that the next regular meeting of the Home and School League of Granite District is to be held in the School Board Rooms, 3212 South State Street, at 7:30 p. m., January 9, 1924.

The new company is the successor to the Southeast Dairy Company and the Confectaurant. Since acquiring the property on Nov. 4th they have made extensive improvements and additions and have installed the latest machinery for handling the products which they will be prepared to manufacture rignt on the premises. Reed Stevens and his associates, W. S. Sloven, Clyde Hall, George Stevens and Everett Gunn, are the principal stockholders in the local corporation. Mr. Stevens is the owner of the Weber Creamery Company and had a herd of registered Holstein cows together with som e of the finest dairy property in Summit County. Owing to ideal conditions the Weber Creamery Company produces some of the choicest cheese in the state. Altitude, feed, moisture and all other conditions seem almost perfect for successful cheese making and dairying in this locality. Mr. Stoven, who was one of the originators of the Southeast Dairy, ia the owner of a large dairy herd at Parleys Park, where a fine quality of milk is produced. Most of the milk handled by the local concern will come from this and other local sources. Mr. Hall ia a butter maker of long experience and Mr. George Stevena is n a creamery man from Oakley, Idaho. Mr. Gunn will be at the local plant in charge of manufacturing. He has been actively engaged in butter manufacturing for a number of years and has actually produced some 750,000 pounds during the last five years. Seth C. Jones has associated himself with the above interests and will have charge of the selling, both wholesale and retail, of the local establishment, and the accounting end. Mr. Jones has been in the business for more than thirty years. He was with the Faust Creamery Company for twelve years and in the year 1892 was elected president of the first State Dairymen's Association ever formed in Utah. Mr. Jones and Mr. Gunn will operate the Sugar House business and they expect to move into this locality and become true Southeastern-era- . It will require the services of about six girls to assist in handling the output of the butter shop right from the beginning. At a cost of about $15,000 the Brook-law- n people have installed full equipment for butter producing. This machinery includes a churn which has a capacity of COO pounds of but- well-know- te discussions lead by Anor Whipple, Oliver T, Jensen and B. J. Rock.

Ohio, where Dr. I tensen will do intern work at the City and County Hospital, having secured the senior internship, after which time they will come west to make their ter at a single churning, requiring about fifty minutes. A hew pasteurizer has been set up which has a capacity of 200 gallons of milk. Other new equipment includes a boiler, a cream separator, a butter cutter, test-er- g for determining the butter fat in cream and milk, accurate weights, and many smaller devices used in the business. There will be manufactured at toe local plant butter, cottage cheese1 and ice cream. Milk and various kinds of cheese will be handled, together with different grades of cream, buttermilk and akimmed milk. Dairy lunches will be served, and will include milk, buttermilk, ice cream, coffee, sandwiches, meat pies, chili, tamales, hot dogs, all kinds of fruit, pies, fresh fruits in season, in addition to segular soda fountain service and short orders of ham and eggs. The new company will be prepared to hay milk and cream produced locally. This will offer an excellent market for those who have an excess of these products, and may stimulate dairying in this locality. Later on it ia planned to handle eggs on a large scale, thus providing a ready local market for egg producers. This portion of the valley has been pronounced by experts as being one of the best suited in the country for the producing of eggs. The Brooklawn people will sell butter and cream over the entire Salt take territory on a wholesale scale, with their local shop as the distributing point. It Is also their plan to ship these products to portions of the state where they are not produced to any great degree locally. This territory will include Southern Utah, Southern Wyoming, Bingham, Tintic, Eureka, etc. They expect to buy cream from several points, includin'? Oasis, Richfield, Cedar City and Hoytsville. One of the elements which the companys management will stress is accuracy both in teat and weights. They are well equipped to weigh accurately and test exactly and they will be prepared to absolutely guarantee toeir work along this line. The new company is a heavy investor in the Southeast; they have come prepared to stay and become part of it and to render a real service in assisting to build up the community. they are already acquainted with it. In case a pupils knowledge of the subTEACHEBS WILL ject is sufficient, then he will be excused, under the plan, to spend the time upon something in which he is particularly weak.
