Irrigation This committee, consting of George F. McGonagle, state engineer, A. F. Parker, a well known irrigation engineer of Ogden, and J. L. Lytel. district engineer of the United States Reclamation service, endorse the project and recommend that the matter be followed up energetically.

It is the policy of the reclamation committee, how'ever, to give consideration to all projects and endorse only- - the one which is the speediest and most feasible, and the reclamation committee strongly that the work of the Bonneville district be proceeded with upon the plan as already proposed. A letter is being forwarded by this reclamation committee to the Farm committee which will show their attitude as being most favorable to the hasty completion of the Bonneville project. very-caref- to NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION Notice is hereby given that a special election will be held in Kaysville City, County of Davis, State of Utah, in the City Hall of said city, on Tuesday, September 2, 1919, between the hours of 7:00 a. m., and 7:00 oclock p. m., at which time the qualified electors of said Kaysville Cit may vote for or against the franchise-ordinanc- e by which it is proposed to vacate the west side of Eighth street between Pine and Locust streets, also to grant rights of way across Pine and Locust streets for depot purposes and for trackage rights of way, to the Bamberger Electric Railway company, a corporation, owning and operating an electric railwoy within the corporate limits of said Kaysville City.

For furthei information write PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY lhinn: the past eight years much substantia) progress has taken placa in Davis comity, much more than tha imnige cituen rails to mind, Fight years ago Davis county was without a modern school plant, either in the grades or high school. Today Dhms county has one of the best grade and high school plants in any agricultural county in the state. Fight years ago Da is county had about the poorest roads in the Salt lake valley and now she has the longest stretch of concrete road In the state and more than some of the states. The side roads have also been grealy improved. Fight years ago the great concrete dam in Fast canyon was only being talked of and the Riverdule power plant was not completed; the Adams reservoir was only a small affair; the reservoir of the Kaysville Irrigation company was wtill in the future and the two reservoirs of the Kays Creek Irrigation company had not been provided for. Today all these propositions have been fully completed. During the past eight years Davis county has gained a canning factory, two bunks, chnrch buildings, several business house,, many farm homes, many city homes, a street railway, two power lines, four depot buildings, double railway and electric railway tracks, additional green houses to the extent that Davis county dominates the cut flower business of tha mountain region, additional grain elevators and grain cleaning and weighing deviees, a sugar factory, city sidewalks, municipal water works extensions and many lesser public and private improvements. With all this progress, prosperity has kept step. Notwithstanding the vast expenditure of money by the people, they seem to have correspondingly increased wealth. There is more money in the savings banks than eight years ago, not taking into consideration the money invested in Liberty bonds and in thrift stamps. During these years Davis county has been liberal in giving to Red Cross, Y.M.C. A., Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus and ether soldiers welfare organizations have been given tens of thousands of dolalrs in cash and much labor, and still the people of the county are prosperous in proportion to their enterprise and their giving.
