Show PAY TH VOLUMB XXXIV NUMBER PAYSON, 3G Lack of Water for Irrigating Purposes Within City Limits Cause of Serious Complaint Time Appears to Have Arrived When Resort Must Be Made to Use of Strawberry WaterWhich Is Now Being Diverted Around the City to the Old Fields. of Payson creek water irrigating purposes is causing cousideabde complaint among the secwater users in the residential tions of Payson and unless the city council provides an additional supply by turning the Strawberry water into the ditches many lawns garden patches will be ruined because of the lack of water before the close of summer. Residents of the southeast portion of the city are now threatening to bring suit against the city on the ground that they have bought and paid for a sufficient quantity of Strawberry wi ter with which to irrigate their lands. It is alleged that all of the Stiiawberiy water, instead of being furnished to city water users is being diverted into the old fields of the rights of those living witliin the city limits who have paid for Strawberry water. While Payson creek water is being in all parts of the city, it is alleged that the flow is so limited that the lands served cannot be propin the limited time erly allowed. Those who are suffering bedemand cause of a lack of , water that the flow bp increased without delay. This can only be accomplished by giving more Payson creek water to those living on the bench, above the point cf diversion of Strawberry water, nii, by giving those below tho point of diversion, an increased fljw of Strawberry water. Strawberry water,, which in f the past. 1 a lecn deemed nnflt for city irrigation purposes because of the quantity of silt carried by it, is it steadily becoming more clear and ' is not believed that lawns will be injured by its use. In order to comply with the decision of the conrt in the Daley case, ' directing that commingling . of the Strawberry and Payson creek waters must cease, or in event that this is impossible, Payson creek water must bo supplied to the orchards of Arthur Daly in exchange for Strawberry water, the city is making a strong effort to divert all of the Strawberry water aronnd the city to the old field.-Beeause of the scarcity ' of Payson creek water at this season of the year, the time appears to have arrived when Strawberry water must the be permitted to flow through city oitches. It is probable that formal demand for a sufficient supply of water in of the city will bt made some par within the next few days.

It is understood that tho paving contract with the firm of Gibbons & Reed is liosed on the origional rout ing which provides for the road to turn east from the Benjamin store. Assuming that a greater number of ponplo would be served if the road were continued ens ''about a quarter of a mile north of the Benjamin- store in the vicinity of Lnko Shore, the board of county commissioners directed thnt the road be built nlong the north 'route.

Perhaps tho outstanding feature of the days program was tho miniature parade, unique and different from anything before shown here.

Three hundred and fifty children from the Primary association of the throe wards participated in the parade, mnde up of six Silver sections, led by tho Payson band.

At the present time the lake is well stocked with bass which will not permit young trout to live in the same waters.

WELL RECEIVED BY PEOPLE The candidacy of Bnarton Barnett for nomination for county eommis-'ioc- r from the southern part of Utah county appears to have met with evenv degree of satisfaction among the republicans of this section and that he will receive favorable consideration at the republican county convention at American Fork in. September, seems quite certain. Mr. Barnett is one of broad business experience and fully acquainted with the needs of the people of Utah county. He is a man in whom confidence may be placed. He is one who has done much for the development of Utah county and who is progressive and believes in building up the commonwealth in the interests of the greatest numbers. In the conduct of his own affairs ne has proved his efficiency and that he would carry the same principles of economy into the affairs of the county there Is not a doubt. Tn his candidacy before tbe ranty convention he should receive the rapport of every loyal dtiara of southern Utah erauty. f His- - i Hie serious situation which confronts fruit growers on account of the railroad strike, was the subject for consideration at a meeting of business men in Provo last Friday. Attention was called to the fact that with the railroad shops dosed, tho rolling stock would, in a very short time, bo to out of commission that the bulk of the coming farm crops could not be transported. Attention waa clearly called to the fact that it is not the part of wis- dom for the citizens of this community to become partisan in this unfortunate struggle. It is, however, the desire and should be the duty of every good citizen to lend his moral support to the best interest of the community, in assisting to outline some amicable way in which the seasons crops can be regularly and profitably handled. With the existing differences which has brought about thia strike, the business men and civic onanizations are not definitely concerned. , There are no quarrels with the railroad, nor with the men on strike. All are, however, vitally interested in the 'general welfare of the community. If maturing perishable crops cannot be properly handled, the whole community must of necessity suffer. Corpomtions and individuals should bear, in mind the welfare of the masses, and should not permit conditions to raise which will work serious hardships on the great public. A ! Zntit Crop Discussing the fruit situation, Wil- liam M. Roylance said that the fruit crop as a whole ia Utah eouaty is the largest and best in its history. He states that tbe growers, generally speaking, have taken good ears of their orchards ia the way of pruning spraying and cultivating, and '.their interest this year has been greater in every respeet than ever before. Utah eounty this year will produce at least fifty ears of cherries and these will average approximately 11500 per car, totaling 175,000 - for thia one erop alone, Mr, Roylance explained. He gave as his opinion that there will be from fifty to seventy-livears of Bartlett pears; from fifty, to lft cars of plums and prunes; from 75.; to 1000 cars of the finest peaches ever grown; that there will also be in the neighborhood of from 250 to 350 carloads of apples. He stated that there has been harvested .the largest erop of strawberries ever grown in this country; and that the raspberry crop also promises to be heavy; that the growers have got fine prices for everything thnt has been harvested up to dnte, and expressed the hope that they will get satisfactory prices for th fruit that is yet to be harvested. - ' r't Mr. Roylance snys, however, that buyers everywhere are holding back because of the unsettled strike condition and tie-uof the' railroads, It seems to me ' that the growers do not fully realize thp seriousness of the present situation, said. Mr. Roylance. If it is necessary for the growers of these highly perishable fruits, peaches for instance,, to man tho jobs that are being vacated, they would do well to arrange to do so. and at once, if they, would save their entire years work. The situation is getting more and more serious ' each day, and unless something is doqe immediately the growers are likely to lose their entire peach erop, and a solution should be reached at the earliest possible moment to prevent disaster. Mr. Roylanee gives as his opinion that it is the patriotic duty of every person interested la th welfare of this community to give such assistance U will kelp the grower to market bit crop end ship it to the markets the world. If this is not done ft will mean a loss of revenue to this county in the sum Of from Therefore, $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. every business men and citizen should do nil thnt he can to clear up the situation. , e f ' |
