If the lundowners of Davis and Weber counties are to participate in the benefits of the IVho reservoir, they must get busy at once. The Davis and Welter Counties Canal company has subscribed for water which will be imiKiumled in the reservoir, and it is the purpose of the company to supply water for the irrigation of the partially watered lands of Davis and Welter counties. The water subscribed for is much more than sufficient to fully water all the lands now under the canal and its laterals, and the company MUST find land on which to use the water or surrender it for use on other lands. Utah county, Tooele county, Salt take county and the City of Salt take will make demand for this water if it is not put to beneficial use. Already Utah county has secured rights to orre-fcof water which will hie turned from the headwaters of the Weber into the Trovo river, and the federal government will build a canal to take this water from the Weber river watershed; and now comes Salt take City and demands 10,000 acre-feof water for that city. What are the people of Davis and Weber counties going to do about it? Will they protect their rights by taking this wnter for their lands, or let it go elsewhere? At a meeting held in Ogden last Saturday, between members of the Weber Kivcr Water Users' association and a Salt take City committee bonded, by Mayor Neslen, a demand was made for the water, although Salt take City had not subscribed for a share of the water. It is well to remember that the Echo reservoir is being built by the federal government for the irrigation of lands and not for the use and benefit of Salt take City or any other city, but if the landowners of Davis and Weber counties do not want the water, cities may secure it. . At the Ogden meeting an agreement was reached whereby Salt take City would be given 1000 acre-feof water from the Provo river allotment, 2500 acre-fefrom the Davis and Weber Counties Cannl company and 2500 acre-fefrom the reservoir which had not been previously subscribed for. This agreement leaves Salt take City 4000 acre-feshort of its demands. Where the city is to get that amount of water has not yet been determined. If it is to come from the Davis and Welter Counties Canal rontpnny there will not be sufficient water remaining in their holding to water the partially watered lands of Davis county, to say nothing of Weber county; and they will have to surrender that if not used for irrigation. It is estimated that this water will cost but $40 per share, and the bids just opened are well below the engineer's estimates. The water is to be paid for in twenty annual payments WITHOUT INTEREST, and when it is considered that less than six tons of beets, at six dollars per d of a ton of beets ton, or per year, will nay for a share of this water, it is a bargain that will never again be presented. The land owners of land under the Duvis and Weber Counties Canal company must aet now before it is too late. The company is ready and anxious to let them have the water, but there must be no delay. Concerning the meeting at Ogden, the Salt take Tribune says: Mayor Neslen, ns city commissioner of water supply and wnter works, was one of a committee of Salt takers which, on Saturday, discussed the city's application with a committee of the water users' association. At that meeting it was intimated that there would probably be no difficulty in supplying Salt take with GOOD shares 6,-0- 00 ct et et et et et one-thir- in the association, which would cor- respond to 0000 acre-festorage capacity in the Echo reservoir. Mayor Neslen said Sunday, however, that it is to be hoped that through the negotiations now pend0 ing, this city may obtain 8000 to shares, as that volume would be required to justify the expense of construction of a pipe line from the Weber river to this city. Mayor Neslen said that the question of how to bring the water to Salt Lake, once it is obtained, is for the future. He points out that the city is looking far into the future in making preparations for a water supply from the Weber, since the sources in proximity to the city are sufficient for present needs. The city does not expect to have any Weber water available hefore eight or ten years. A supply of 10,000 acre-fewould of itself be adequate for the needs of 50,000 people, according to Mayor Neslen. The fact that it is storage water, available when required, would lie b6' an additional advantage, points out further that the pressure on the west side of the city is at times rather low, and that a new supply coming from the north would be a benefit to that part of town. It would be necessary to have an intake reservoir perhaps near the state eapitol to distribute water brought in by a pipe line through Davis county. Ihis pipe line would make it possible to distribute the water to all parts of the city, according to the mayor. "State Engineer George M. Bacon said he had not gone into the matter of the different routes for pipe lines very thoroughly, but believes that one through Davis county would be enet 10,-00- et tirely feasible. WHO I'AYS?
