Fletcher Killed in Action in France - Word was received hereon Monday by Mrs. G. D. Rutledge Jelling of the death of her brother, Marion Brent Fletcher. v The young man, who was quite well known in Kaysville, gavt his life for his country on September 4. At the time of his death he was corporal in the 123rd Heavy Artillery. Young Fletcher, who at the time of his death was 22 years .old, enlisted in the 6th Infantry, National Guard of Illinois, shortly after the Mexican trouble. When his regiment was federalized he was assigned to duty at Rock Island arsenal. Later the regiment was created a regiment of heavy artillery and was transferred to Fon Sam Houston for training. The young man rose rapidly from the ranks and while in training was promoted to gun corporal. Later when assigned to the Peoria school for motor training was made acting sergeant major of his battalion. Horis survived by his mother and father, his brother James Fletcher, and the following sisters: Mrs. G. D. Rutledge, Mrs. Harold Osborne, formerly Miss Gertrude Fletcher, Mrs. Phillip Rouclie and Mrs. Emmet Boyd. The young man was quite well, known in Kaysville, having spent jsev tfil .months here" twoyears'ago. All who knew him were impressed with his kindly manner and generosity. Since the above article was written Dr. Rutledge received a telegram stating that the young man was wounded by shrapnel and that he was removed to a hospital, where he died on September 8. He was laid to rest in an American cemetery on a hillside in France, where so many of the boys are sleeping their last sleep, having given their all for an ideal. May the boys of the future never forget the- supreme sacrifices that boys like Marion Brent Fletcher hve made for us and for our freedom.

When it was found that the money could be secured, Governor lamberger called in the commissioners of Davis and Weber counties and explained the proposition to them. The governor explained to the commissioners that the proposition could be put through by the organization of an irrigation and drainage district in Davis and Weber counties, said district to nclude lands in need of irrigation or drainage, or both. It was also pointed riate 60 per cent of the funds necessary for determining the amount of land in need of irrigation or drain g under the project, which work will be -performed by the state engineer. After this work is completed it will be necessary for the county commissioners to call an election for the purpose of voting on the proposition to organize the district. The method of proceedure is set forth in the Jaws of 191? jn, relation to irrigation districts. It is not conceivable that there will be the least opposition to the project on the part of the property owners affected. Under the terms of the law the land benefilted will bear all the expense and reap all the benefit of increased value and Crop production. In the last analysis, the proposition results itself into a mutual stock company owned by the owners of the property benefitted. The government will furnish the money and build the reservoir and canals and take its mone bark in twenty annual payments at a very low rate of interest. Th securities will be bonds guaranteed by the lands included, by the county, and ,by the state.
