Humpherys was placed figuratively over a bar rel Friday, when a dispute involv ing transfer of waters from the upper to the lower reaches of Pro vo river, was dumped into his offi cial lap. The dispute Involves an application applica-tion filed with him, as provided by law, by the Provo River Water user's Association, in which they asked for transfer of waters down the Provo river from lands along upper Provo river near Charleston. The association claims to have purchased water rights along with land in that vicinity, which land will be covered by Deer Creek res ervoir. They are asking permis sion to use the water on Provo Bench, in lower Utah Valley and Jordan River Valley. The application has been protested pro-tested by independent water and irrigation companies in Utah and Salt Lake counties, who claim prior rights to the water. They claim the water which is applied to land near Charleston return to the river during the latter part of the irrigation irri-gation season without large loss. This water, independents claim, has been used in past years by them as prior appropriators, and If the transfer is made will injure their rights. They also claim the trans fer would be in disregard of a provision pro-vision in the decree adjudicating rights on Provo river, proclaimed in the Fourth district court May 2, 1921. In part the decree states: "None of the parties shall change the place of use of said waters so as to cause the seepage or drainage therefrom to be diverted away from the channel of said river, or canals, or from the lands here-to-fore irri gated, thereby." - .. Provo River Water User's Asso ciation admits a portion of the water returns to the river, but claims the amount consumed in irrigation ir-rigation of lands should be avail able for transfer and use by them. Both parties have threatened to carry the case into court, the prior appropriators if the application is approved, and the applicants if the application is rejected. All available information as to consumptive use, evaporation and return flow together with a field investigation, will be studied by the state engineer in an effort to reach a satisfactory settlement and com pose a mutual agreement between the two factions, he said Friday Protests to the application were made by the following companies: Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation Company, Timpanogos Canal Com pany, Upper East Union Irrigation Company, West Union Canal Company, Com-pany, East River Bottom Water Company, Fort Field Irrigation Company, Little Dry Creek Irriga tion Company, Smith Ditch Com pany, Riverside Irrigation Com' pany, Provo City Corporation, Utah Power and Lteht Company and South Jordan Canal Company.

Plans Go Forward For Black Hawk Encampment Plans are rapidly forming shape for the annual Black Hawk Encampment En-campment and Homecoming which will be held in Lehl in August and according to early plans this affair will be a very outstanding occasion. The encampment will be held either the first or second week in August, it is stated. The officers of the Lehi Post. Sons of the Utah Pioneers and Indian In-dian War Veterans, who are in di rect charge of the affair, announce Parent-Teachers Association Elect Officers At the meeting of the Parent- Teachers Association held last Fri day evening in the high school au ditorium officers were elected for the coming year.

Mrs. Emily Johnson is the retir ing secretary, having served faith' fniiv in that caDacitv for some time past. Professor B. F. Cummings of the B. Y. U. delivered a wonderful talk. Other program numbers consisted of three vocal numbers by the rtiantante chorus, vocal numbers mtl Miss Wanlass of Amer lean Fork, remarks by Cecil Ash, and vocal selections by Gilbert Simmoi.ds. The meeting was well attended From the inception of the free school system into our social order up to the year 1915 the local community had complete responsibility for the control and operation of the school. It elected its own Board of Education, whose conduct in school matters was quite similar to our present system of control. The State Legislature enacted a law effective in 1915 dissolving the small local-unit system and established approximately forty school districts within the entire state. The Alpine School District is one of the many Utah Districts and comprises that section of Utah County north of the Provo City Boundary. The district is divided into five voting precincts, namely: 1 Precinct No. 1 Lincoln Precinct No. .Pleasant Grove, Lindon Precinct No. 3 American Fork Precinct No. 4 Lehi Precinct No " -Cedar Valley, Alpine, Highland A Board Member is elected from each precinct.

The purpose of this article is to discuss briefly some of the problems prob-lems that have confronted this body during the first twenty-five years of operation as a consolidated unit of school government. As early as the year 1918 the Board of Education had completed its survey and ordered a building program which, in their judgment, would amply provide educational opportunities for their boys and girls second to none in districts of our kind, a program which would provide not only elementary but also secondary schools for every boy and girl whose ambition prompted advance education. In order to accomplish this it was decided to build three complete com-plete secondary school units. The three schools built under this expansion ex-pansion program were Lincoln High School, Pleasant Grove High School, and Lehi High School. The American Fork High School was built in the year 1912 and ecquired by the district at consolidation. Also acquired at consolidation were the unpaid bond obligations of the various sections of the district, the total of which in the beginning begin-ning twenties was $172,000, the names and dates of such issues being as follows: General Conference Will Open This Week at Salt Lake Clean-Up Campaign Cam-paign Now In Progress As a result of positive action by the city officials, the Margaret Wines Memorial park is looking the cleanest in over a decade.

"Keep Clean Day" should be every day. Efforts are now being made to secure a recognized authority on landscaping and beautiflcation to address a free public meeting next Thursday. Definite announcement of this will be carried in next week's paper. This briefly describes the financial status of the district at a time when the Board of Education was about to present the problem to the taxpayers in the form of a bond election. If and when approved in this manner the Board of Education may then issue and sell bonds in such amounts as may have been specified for a definite program of improvements. On April 18, 1919, tne taxpayers or our district votea tne nrst series of bonds since consolidation in the amount of $165,000, and then proceeded to ask for bids for the construction of the three units heretofore here-tofore mentioned.

For high schools, this was the case until 1929-1930. In 1924-1925 an addition to the Harrington School became urgent. In 1929-1930 a major enlargement building program was carried on at Pleasant Grove and Lincoln High Schools. In 1930-1931 additions were necessary at American Fork and Lehi High Schools. The junior high schools no doubt stimulated the building program for the two years last mentioned. Increased enrollment and other contributing factors brought about the need of more classrooms at Lincoln High School in 1934-1935, (Continued on page Five) vancement of the committees and plans for the celebration will ba announced at a later date.
