Show New Irirgation Scheme. W. M. Bostaph has filed for an appropriation appro-priation of water which he proposes to develop in Strong's canyon. Mr. Bostaph's experiment will be watched with great interest in-terest bv communities all along the base of the Wasatch range. His theory is that much water is lost by sinking In the gravel at the mouth of the canyon, and his plan is to sink a trench to bedrock and construct a dam and then take the water where needed In pipes. He estimates that enough water can be obtained In this way to Irrigate a large tract, and If the plan proves successful In one canyon It should la all the cannons of the Wasatch range. |
