Hobson, of Alabama, of Merrimac fame, will deliver his masterly address, The Great Destroyer at The Columbia Sunday, November 28, at 2 p. m. No man has made a more exhaustive scientific study of the effects of alcohol on the human race than hasJEtlchardJPearson Hobson and he is a brilliant orator. The Great Destroyer has been delivered in every quarter of the United States. It la one of the most terrific arraignments of the curse of strong drink ever delivered on the American platform. On December 11, 1913, on behalf of the Committee of One Thousand authorized by the National League convention at Columbus, introduced in the Ohio, lower house of congressman amendment to the constitution of the United States prohibiting forever the manufacture, sale, Importation-exportatioand transportation of intoxicants. On December 22, 1914, In the house of representatives, the above amendment received 197 votes, while 189 were cast against it. Although it failed to receive the vote necessary for its passage, that it received a majority was a remarkable victory for the forces of the nation. Another resolution, essentially the same as the Hobson amendment, will be Introduced in the next session of congress. dare-dev- il ( n n two-thir- anti-saloo- n - xf Dr. Edwin I.

He deemed it absolutely essential and paramount to bring the soils of the Provo valley to a point of water storage capacity comparable to that of a normal year, to provide by this means, as nearly for a normal river ip practicable, flow into Utah county during the period of greatest need. While the history of the river during the year 1915 without question justifies this practice of manipulation as made by the commissioner, it Is a mistake to suppose that it was done without strong complaint from the water companies In Utah valley.

The commissioner web a!e to accomplish ' this task by loading the canals in the Provo valley area to overflowing during the early part of the irrigation season, spreading this great diversion over the irrigated lands in that section, raising the sup face of- the ground water in the soils ao that some of the wells in the vicinity of Heber City 'showed between March 1 and August 1 a rise of the ground water of sixty feet. While the range of change was not great, the same condition of ground water rise was shown at every point where observations were made Jbetween Charleston and Woodland. The great quantitles of water flowed over the Frovo valley farm lands during the early part of the irrigation season of 1915, in large measure were lodged in the soils of that area, moved thence slowly through the soil channels, reaching the natural course of Provo river, as springs and as seepage and percolation, w eeks after the same water had been Wa- spoiled to the aoia through the WM'-,''."
