his assistant C T Johnston John-ston of the Department of Agriculture are registered at the Wejr Prof Mead said last night that he had great hopes of the agricultural development of the valley of the Great Salt lake through Irrlgatlonal assistance Some of these canyons are well adapted to be used tin reservoirs he said and again others are not Big CottonwOod for instance is too steep but Ogden canyon Is admirably ad-mirably adapted to reservoir purposes Prof Mend spoke highly of the work done by Prof Gardiner In examining and testing the soils In various valleya of the State and believed the work would result in great benefit He was queried relative to Prof Marcus Mar-cus E Joness proposition to connect the upper Bear river with the Snake or Green rivers or both also of Senator Smoots fear that if anything of this kind was attempted some one would slap an injunction onto the projectors Both Messrs Mead and Johnston said they had not the slightest fear of any legal obstacles being thrown in the way of the Improvement None of the water of the Green river Is used for Irrigation and the Snake has more water than is wanted anywhere It would be a good scheme to thug raiSe the level of Great Salt lake reducing Its density and promoting pro-moting its evaporation and consequently conse-quently Increasing its precipitation along the line of the prevailing winds through the State
