Mark Austin and Francis Klrkham of Salt Lake City, Judge Tucker and 0. H. Jacobs of Provo. Judge Tucker of the Water : Storage Stor-age Commission of Utah County waa the first speaker and explained to the people the position of Utah In general gen-eral to the reclamation work. He said Utah had sot reeclved more than three and a half millions of dollars from the federal government - for reclamation while Idaho had had over forty millions', and further that Uould-CoejLono hundred and fifty millions more to complete the wbW now under way In Idaho. He urged " that the" people' of Utah- get busy -end secure more of the money which Is now being given the western states. Mr. Klrkham followed and explained that present plans were to dig a canal about eight miles Ions end bring the Weber river near Kama over Into the Provo river and build a large reservoir at the head of Provo Canyon Can-yon which would hold sixty thousand acre feet of water. Careful estimates bring the' price to less than 135 per acre as the cost of this part of the project Canals would be built, or those now here enlarged, at a cost of about $25.00 per acre more. Pres. Abble John Evans, whose connection with water problems' of the north end of Utah County has been extensive, spoke next . He said the government's method of payment for this water was the simplest and easiest ever yet proposed. The plan is that the farmer will not have to pay anything for five years, and after that period they would be required re-quired to pay S percent of their crop until the amount was paid up to the government There will be no Interest Inter-est to pay at any time, only the principal. prin-cipal. I. H. Jacobs, engineer for the Provo Reservoir Company, explained several of the terms of measuring ater, such as second foot, acre feet, etc. Mayor Hayes spoke on the value of reservoir water, showing how It was superior to any other water for irrigation irri-gation purposes as It could he used at the seasons of the year when most neededandttat It did not vary as canyon streams do. Following these talks there waa a general discussion by ' the eltlzens present Their conclusion wa finally put la the. form of a, motion and passed pass-ed without, a dissenting vote. The , motion waa that the people of Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove.

The vic tory "for TtesssfftGrove-ta-aJso a victory for American Fork City and the Lehl Irrigation Company. The trouble arose over flood waters from American Fork Canyon damaging damag-ing the farm lands of the plaintiff. He claimed that the three Irrigation companies were responsible for changing the course of the American Fork Creek bed from its natural channel to a new channel and that the new channel was too level to carry off flood water and that as a result of this these waters flooded the farm lands adjacent to the new channel and damaged the crops considerably. He sued for heavy damages and also to have the court fix responsibility upon the defendatns so they would perpetually i'v ta mamtalnj the new channel The case has cost both sides several thousand dollars. Judge Hanson in his decision absolved the three Irrigation companies from any damages and also releaesd them from the responsibility of maintaining the channel. The decision Is extremely extreme-ly gratifying to us as there were many other fanners owning land adjacent ad-jacent to the creek who were going to sue for damages if the ' Hunter estate won.

For the purpose of acquiring toe right to use a portion of the una propriated water of the State of Utah application Is hereby made to "Henf Nelson, based ' upon the following showing - of facts, submitted In accordance ac-cordance with , the requirement of Chapter 1000,. Session, Laws of Utah tha fafl of 56. The purpose f?r which the water Is to be ucd is watering gardens, bathing, washing autos and many other things. The water Is to be used each year from December to January. The water is to be diverted from a spring (a Pleasant Grove. 100 ft from the monument at tbj head of the stNet. The wate la to run In a ditch 2 ft wide and one foot deep, running west In the middle of the street north of monument to corner of bank here to be stored and divided. divid-ed. t ' Filed on this day by SI KEMP J. a CLARK HANS WILLIAMSON W. C. BAXTER We waver the right for a reservoir one hundred ft wide and two blocks long,- Tunning -eaat -and -"-wast (An exact copy of the proposed filing) The scarcity of water In Pleasant Grove has caused some of our citizens to file on waste water from a broken pipe near the poo) hall and If this same bunch of citizens could make filing on the different leaks around town enough water could be saved .if Ifc-could-be plpeiiwjiotMngJnjpipes guaranteed not to break, to fill the reservoir spoken of in the filing. As badly as water is needed this year for gardens, lawns, and flower gar dens it would be a great help. However How-ever the city officials are doing the best they ran to take care of leaks ra the pipes. Several new lines of Iron pipes have been put In to replace re-place old wooden ones that were beyond be-yond repair and with the new water works extension, the mentlng and enclosing of the spring to Insure the purity and cleanliness' of the water, our system is In good shape, except In some of the lines where new pipe will have to be added from, time to time. As son as the city fathers can get the money to go forward with the Improvements they will be had. noTiooTosoToyiooxoxom CULLEN I vtti a t TirtTiT M aPI))RAUGHT A - -" ...".-......... 5fl- ' ' t& 0 I & PLEASANT GROVE BILLAED PARLOR K8IOKOXO!SOKOKC00!S Blight of Tomato Plants Serious to Growers A thorough Inspection! the tomato fields around Pleasant Grove, Provo Bench and Vineyard was made Wed- nesdayoHkraaiw,hatxlettLomaor Charles Jdabej. aoO. tne ougm nan anectea mo loiumu crop'Uthla,vIclnltyfeUk.J In a few of the-fields very little blight was found, but In other places, much of the crop Is found damaged with blight ' Growers from the northern part of the state claim that tbla condition prevailed one season some time ago in that locality.
