Show I Industries and Progress I SALINA WATER WORKS. I Salina is to have a system of waterworks. The project must be I launched. It will be launched, and if all signs do not fail, it will be I carried out. The members of the town council arc talking about it and I taking some of the initial steps. An engineer will shortly be engaged H to look into the matter and determine the cost and best methods of I construction, etc. Salina Call. I SHEEP SHEARING IN UINTAH. I The sheep shearing season begins next Monday, April 6th, at Al- I hambra and will continue for about forty days. Charles Carter's herd H will be the first and George Julius' the second. It is estimated that the H clip this year will amount to about 600,000 pounds. It is impossible I to say at this time what wool will bring on the eastern markets. The H prices last year ranged from twenty to twenty-two cents. It will not I be so much this year. Vernal Express. I PROSPERITY IN WASATCH COUNTY. I John D. Massey returned from his homestead on the lower Hi Duchesne this week. He says that country is booming. All the peo-l! peo-l! pie arc busy, money is plentiful, and everybody seems happy. The I , road up Daniels canyon is fairly good, he says, up to Thacker's saw I I mill. From there to Deep creek sleighs are being used, but sleighing I is very poor and wagons cannot be used at all. From Deep creek on I the road is in excellent shape. Wasatch Wave. I NEW RESERVOIR ON THE PROVO. I On behalf of three of the principal irrigation companies of this I valley President J. R. Murdock and E. D. Clyde have applied to the I State Land Board for the loan of $100,000 to construct reservoirs at B the head of Provo canyon and other places and to construct the neccs H ' sary canals and ditches to convey water to and upon lands lying in I Wasatch and Utah counties which the companies purpose redeeming I from its present desert character. It is one of the largest irrigation I schemes in the state. Wasatch Wave. I), NEW MILK CONDENSING PLANT IN SANPETE COUNTY. H Everything looks favorable for the milk condensing plant pro- B posed for North Sanpete, as was stated briefly in these columns last I week. All that is wanted by the promoters is a reasonable assurance I that from fifteen to twenty men will guarantee to furnish milk regu- larly from fifteen to twenty cows each to the factory after it is in H running order. It is too late to get the plant installed this spring, but I the promise has been made that if the milk was guaranteed as above I set forth that the foundation will be constructed next fall and the H plant put in in the spring. There ought to be no trouble at all in H ' meeting the requirements proposed. Already nearly a dozen men I have been found, each one of whom is willing to undertake what is I asked and only as many more are needed. If they are secured it means H an investment here of many thousands of dollars ; employment all the H year round of many men and boys; a monthly pay roll amounting to thousands of dollars, etc. This county needs enterprises of the kind. I They are not so plentiful as they might be. This one must be se- ' cured. Mt. Pleasant Pyramid. I ' TO CONSTRUCT WATER WORKS AT EPHRAIM. I M. F. Murray, president of the Ephraim Commercial Club, and at- I torney Ephraim Hansen were up from Ephraim during the week se- H curing data as to the cost, extent, expense and net revenues of the I local water works system, the information being desired in a cam- H paign which the club there is conducting in behalf of a system in that H city. The gentlemen are enthusiastic over the era of progress and I ' improvement activity which their town has recently entered and never I tire of saying good words for the place. The commercial club and I city council are working together with strenuous zeal for a better town I and are meeting with great success. Incidentally Attorney Hansen did a little mixing with local Republican politicians while here, in fur-I fur-I therance of an ambition he possesses to become the nominee of his Hij party for the office of district attorney. Mt. Pleasant Pyramid. I OAK CITY PROSPERING. I Oak City, in Millard county, has a population of about forty families. Every man in the town is a "booster" for Oak City and I according to the granger from Oak City, the horses, dairy cows, apples, peaches and poultry from there are better in quality and greater in f quantity than the whole of Millard county. Look out, Kanosh, l Meadow, Fillmore, Hinckley, Scipio and the rest of you, and see if your opportunities are not as good as those at Oak City. Deseret Farmer. WATER WORKS FOR REDMOND. j The little town of Redmond is outdoing Salina in the matter of getting a system of waterworks. Over there the people practically arranged ar-ranged for a system and decided to have one. Some springs near by arc to be utilized for the purpose. Salina Call. Julius Stcgcr, in "The Fifth Commandment" At the Orpheum Next Week. BEAUTIFUL BABIES. It would have done President Roosevelt's heart good to have been present at the baby show held at the Grecnewald Furniture Company's Com-pany's "Store Beautiful" last Wednesday afternoon. He surely would have reached the conclusion that race suicide is not popular in Salt Lake City. One of the judges (and all the judges were newspaper men and ought to know) said, "I never knew there were so many babies in the world under the age of one year." The show was scheduled for four o'clock and when the judges arrived ar-rived a few minutes before that hour they were obliged to secure lBaBHHIH Marian Edna Worthen, Baby Beautiful help in order to wedge their way through the solid masses of mothers and babies that were congregated in all the main departments of that store. The poor, hard working, honest men who had been chosen as judges were told when they accepted the honor of acting as judges that it would require but a few minutes of their time, that it simply meant their passing by a few comfortably seated ladies in one of the aisles of the store, but in reality the task resolved into the judges occupying oc-cupying a reviewing stand at the head of the broad staircase at the rear end of the store. Here they stood for an hour and a half while proud mothers crowded and surged by proudly holding forth their babies for the judges to note their beauty and brightness. That the babies were beautiful goes without saying; all babies are beautiful beautiful in their innocence and purity but to learn that there were so many beautiful babies in this city, or any other city was a revelation to the judges. Of course some baby had to be chosen as the winner of the prize and the judges finally made a selection and their judgment was concurred con-curred in by at least one mother. After having arrived at a decision the judges were quietly spirited away through a rear exit of the store, each one being a much wiser man than when he began the task of acting judge in the baby show. And it is a safe wager to give good odds that none of the gentlemen will ever serve in that capacity again during the course of their life time. It is announced that next season Otis Skinner will present, in addition ad-dition to "The Honor of the Family" a revival of four of his former successes, Charles Frohman having decided to establish Mr. Skinner in a repertoire company.
