A meeting of the representative men of the various communities will be held during the week end, for the purpose of going over the plan in detail and perfecting it. An organization is to be perfected at this meeting to introduce the plan to the people at large, for their approval. After which, the necessary official help can be obtained for its execution. The plan, already presented to several of the state officials, including the head of the rehabilitation bureau of Utah, Governor Blood and Congressman Murdock, involves the cutting out of the submarginal lands, and the populating of good lands, such as the Bluebench,' the Castle Peak project and the Ouray valley. Wherever the plan has been presented, it has met with enthusiastic approval, and it promises to be the biggest project yet thought of for the entire basin, replacing, as it does, the present unsatisfactory relief measures, with a permanent, progressive re- Sunday Afternoon The umpires call to Play Ball at 1:00 p. m.
