The request on the part of Mr. Daley; in, which he said that thousands of Aifrult trees would perish unless given 'Water, brought (Jouncil-maW. Fred Tanner immediately to his feet with the exclamation that Mr. Datey had long been a water thief. Mr. Daley refuted the accusation, declaring that he had askel only for the water which he termed was his own. He explained that he had spent many thousands of dollars in reclaimiog the land for orchard- purthe poses and he believed it to bp best interests of the city to encourage fruit growing which he sain t'o would add thousands of dollars the wealth of Payson every year. Mr. Tanner became heated and .said that if Mr. Daley were given the water he would resign.

Accompanied by Eart Snyder, after having finished the days work, Mr. Elliott had just left the null and was on his way to Eureka to bring to Santaquin his wife and children for whom be had prepared a new home. As (he railroad track was approached neither Mr. Elliott or Mr. Snyder heaTd the train approaching. The train of four loaded Pre cars from the mine were being pushed up the grad toward the mill, and the engineer had no opportunity to give a warning of approach. Just Os'' the automobile was upon th0 track 'Mr. El.iott saw the cars. Mr. Snyder jumped clear of the track, but in the excitement Mr. Elliott appeared to have jumped immediately on the track. Had he remained in he automebi.e he would have escaped injury, as the automobile was gently pushed out off the way, and was scarcely damaged. Mr. Elliott formerly was a rest dent of Provo until about twelve years ago. He is survived by his widow and five children. The body was brought to Payson where an inquest was he'd.

Vto have made the serous mistake of assuming that this fertility would last forever, when the Wtet of the matter is that most of oar sgrieultunl lands which have been cultivated mom than 20 years are dteing rapidly exhausted, and at no nr' distant date they will not be able to yield a reasonable return for '' the labor expended on them.

I propose to discuss it soiely in its relation to our agriculture, which is the foundation of the state. Without agriciSStre we could have no commonwealth' here. Surprising as the statement may be to many of our citizen, I make if, solemnly that our agrieul ture is resting today on a very uncer tain foundation. Principal among the causes contributing to Ms condition is the question of irrigation. In many places there is a shortage of water and as a result valuable land is unable to produce maximum erops. But even more serious than this is the fact that much of our land is to an extent that is really serious. Thi practice is shortening the life of "many of our farms. But irrigation in not the only thing d d PAYSON ARTIST Tb LECTURE "Art Influence in Religion will be the subject of a lecture in the tabernacle next Tuesday evening by L. A.

The dairy industry will keep' np soil fertility better then anything els and today the situation which we are t feeing is so critical that something-mosbe done to improve ILAlr'tuair J is best in oar state depends after all upon agrienltnre, and I do not hesitate to say that our agriculture depends upon the daily industry.'
