Friday last he was present at the sale under foreclosure of the Bear River canal for the benefit of the bonlholders who held claims amounting to 500000 Mr Rowe relates that a new company com-pany was nsanized with himself as preideit James H Bacon of this city Mr Beardsley of Kansas City and Mr Watson of Ogden are also interested Questioned as to future action Mr Rowe remarked that the new company would do all in its power to develop the canal aud the country it waters The canal is a success he remarked and will be even greater The crops I upon the land which it waters are immense im-mense Few people realize the extent of this Improvement From Bear River canyon this side of Cache Junction i runs soutn emptying into Great Salt lake at two points the total amount of canal being 76 miles Regarding the details of future action Mr Rowe answered that he had nothing of a definite nature for the public He however furnished his quesjioner with some valuable opinions as to action required re-quired to make Utah a great state AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS Tyihile our mining interests are great he remarked our agricultural 1 Intel t will be by no means inferior c when properly developed At present however our farmers are singularly apathetic Why this is so I am unable to state but it is a fact that the tillers of the soil here do not begin to raise as much as they ought Especially is this true regarding fruit We should have a great fruit industry bere The idea of Utah merchants having to send to California for canned goods is absurd ab-surd I do not want to criticise too harshy but the majority of our farm ers do not read enough I inquired of several while on a recent trip as to whether they read certain publications devoted exclusively to agricultural matters and a very few replied in the affirmative Especially is there a deficiency de-ficiency in the farmers action regarding regard-ing the information disseminated by the agricultural college This institution 5 institu-tion sends out a monthly bulletin vhlch If carefully perused would save 7 every farmer at least five years of his I life because every statement is verified by actual demonstration Up north we are doing well In the matter of fruit trees Out of 1200 young trees planted only five have died This statement alone is something wonderful SMALL BUT SUCCESSFUL FARMERS FARM-ERS Brigham City has people who make money every year off three acres of ground properly tilled They raise fruit and vegetables there second to none In spite of the recent depression this lively little place is prospering Every locality in Utah could do the same I have been endeavoring to get the farMers far-Mers interested in the subject of diver sified farming for some time Saturday I authorized Secretary Pyper of the Deseret Agricultural and Manufacturing Manufactur-ing society to offer two premiums of n5 each for the best essay on diversified diversi-fied farmIng for the support of a family of eight and the best essay on how to most successfully irrigate twenty forty and sixtyacre plats of ground I we can get the farmers to reading we are all right A GREAT FUTURE Utah has a great future ahead continued Mr Rowe This financial unrest is going to end soon Silver is bound to rise and that in the near future The United States is not the only nation which i suffering A financial avalanche st ck the world It began when by the i lure of Argentine Argen-tine Republic stocks aring Brothers u went to the wall The Australian difficulties diffi-culties and the closing of the Indian ints added to the fire of financial ruin and then America suffered The repeal of thE Sherman law had no effect in staying its progress A great many attribute all the ills we suffer from to t atr1bute al is Mr Cleveland He had no more to do with It than you or 1 I was as I have said a financial avalanche THE COMING ELECTION Questioned regarding the territorial election Mr Rowe replied that he thought It would be a close contest thourht cose t fought out on Democratic and Republican I Repub-lican lines The Populists he believed I would cut but little figure owing to J the lack of a leader of marked ability i I I d The third party has been unfortunate in the selection of governors in some 7 of the western states which would mil itatp ugainst them here While Colorado II Colo-rado with its Bloody Bridles has suffered from many failures Utah under un-der conservative government has weathered the storm beautifully THE INDIAN RESERVATIONS The assured opening of the Indian reservations Mr Rowe regards as being be-ing especially beneficial I will offer homes to thousands wf newT > mers and lit looked for a great increase in population popu-lation as an effect of the passage of the bill The lands in the Uintah reservation reserva-tion are of the best character the timber tim-ber unequalled while the mineral possibilities pos-sibilities can scarcely be estimated All these coupled with the arrival of eastern east-ern capital which will come tIth statehood state-hood combine to make Utahs future a bright one indeed |
