I W$Q STILL ANOTHER OLDEST SON HAS PASSED ON lu-- nt OF 10 IDE 110 SUMS FOR THE BIG IVALLEU Opening last Tuesday at Salt Lake City the trial of John Kriaris aud Tony Kambourakis has been occupied up to the present iu examination of lalismen in the effort to empuiu-- a jury. This court action is the continuation of the cases under which sixteen men are accused of murder for in the shooting up of a train on the Utah railway during the strike troubles iu Carbon eouuty lat summer. When this train rauie out of a tunnel in Spring Canyon on its way to Standardville, carrying miners to go to work there, it was met by a volley from rifles in the hands of a crowd of about a hundred strikers who had assembled at that point. Speeding on up the main line toward Hiawatha, abandoning all idea of stopping to take the switch to the original destination, the train carried its occupants to safety from the firing. But one bullet pierced the breast of Arthur 1. Webb, a deputy sheriff riding on the locomotive, and sixteen men were later rounded up and identified as having been members of the mob. This was made by member of a surveying party who had witnessed the affair. Tried in Carls m during last November and December, Pete Kukis and Mike Zulakis were convicted and are now serving time in the state prison. Early during the present year Mike Pogialakig was tried over in Emery. Difficulty in securing talisiuen for the additional juries needed because the defendants attorneys demanded separate trials for each was the cause fur the change of venue. Convicted, lugialakis is also in the state prison. Thinking to lessen the difficulties of these trials, the state authorities asked that further be taken to the state capital.

Stevenson on lands in Carlton county be cancelled was forwarded this week by Gould B. Blakeley, register of the United States land office at Salt Lake City, to William Spry, commissioner of the general. land office. In this state such entry is unusual, says Blakeley, this application for timber and stone being the only one which has come under his jurisdiction within his recollection. An unfavorable report was made by Ralph S. Kelley, chief of the field division. In the Blakeley decision it was stated that the lands are more valuable for possible townxites in the event of coal development than for either timber or stone possibilities. i COLD WAVE HALTS FARM WORK LAST FEW DAYS ht et Cold weather generally with moder- ately heavy precipitation west of the Wasatch Mountains has checked field work and retarded crop growth, though the moisture has been beneficial to fall grains and to alfalfa, according to the weekly rejmrt of the United States weather bureau, issued last Wednesday bv J. Cecil Alter, meteorologist at Salt Lake City. Early fruit is coining into bloom more generally, though and there slowly, the report says, has been some slight local frost injuiy. Live stock and ranges are in fairly good condition, hut pasturage is growing slowly and the feeding season is being prolonged. Sheep are mostly off the winter range, moving toward the spring pasturage and lambing grounds. Shearing has progressed with some interruption. V PAVED ROAD OUT OF PRICE COSTLY, Inspection of the Price to Castle Gate pavement with view to its final acceptance is to be made soon by the state and federal road departments. A trip over this highway shows it to be in fine condition. All the lateral cracks that have developed and which form BUI j roadbed laid in Utah. Stopped at the wrest limits of Price eity instead of proceeding along Main street as originally planned, this because of uncertainty as to the route and the delay incident to getting an underpass at the crossing of the Denver and Rio Grande Western tracks at that point, this installation is the remaining part of No. 24, federal aid project. Carbon eourty voted a hundred and ninety thousand dollars in bonds to cover its share of the cost, but included in this was to be paving up into Castle Gate town and also into Price. As now standing there ia about six hundred feet still to be laid in approaches to the new bridge just completed over the river at the north limits of Helper. The total cost so far is given as This figures out as an average of $G0.852.00 to the mile. Federal aid share of this is $339,114.77, the bal ance being paid by state and county somewhai over half falling to the Int-ter. The contractor are nrri"- - that! they ho paid the balance still due them, and that they be relieved from further re-on account of the road- pi lotment. Whereas heretofore the wabeen owned separately from the land, and transfers were made through shares in the various ditch C(imianiex, now all the water is fixed each portion to its own particular parcel of land and transference is through the regular deed. Each owner was allowed to have a say as to the correctness of the allotment as made by the state engineer. A to Government Aid. Speaking on the matter of getting the project placed under control of the federal government, Mareusen told of the correspondence that has been had during the ast two month with these authorities, and showed that the conclusions of tbe secretary of the interior who ia the final head of these matters to be that the distriet was ao completely organized and so far along with the preliminaries that it wonld be best to go ahead without waiting for any federal action, which might be long time off. The government never yet has spent any money for moving a railroad, nor has its GOOD ter has ed one of the best pieces of pavement in the state, especially so far as the labor and materials are concerned. There may be some compensation in this for the fact that it ia also the most costly natural expansion joints without any actual detriment to the roadbed have been filled with a preparation to protect their edges from abrasion by traffie. In addition to these there will be noticed quite a few little roundish patches of the filling material. These are in places where a small hole could lie noticed in the pavement. On picking into such places it was discovered that a piece of newspaper was worked into the concrete. In loading this material at the state gravel pits cracks in the car boxes would be stuffed with paper, and as no provision is made in such cases' for screening, this paper found its way into the Carbon eounty road. Under the direction of E. C. Lee all these are being picked out and refilled with a protective material. Work on the shoulder at the sides of the! concrete has been completed.

About two 1 fifths of tbe area within the confines of tbe district has been excluded. This is mostly the ground covered by the cities and towns of the comity. There is mine land that enu eventually be that can get brought under the water from the big reservoir. With total rapacity of a hundred and ten thousand only about half of this is required for the present allot monl.

John Y. Smith said that he came down to Price alsiut thirty day ago unqualifiedly in favor of iassing up the big reservoir and reconstructing the Miniimotli dam. He explained that he represented holdings of about two tboiisand acres, of which came under the allotment and must depend on this storage scheme for its irrigation water.

After looking over the situation now and getting the spirit of the land owners locally, lie decides that it would tie better to go in for the big reservoir than to muddle along with the old Gooseberry project. People from tbe outside would not come here so read ily wilh the oieration of the smaller storage as is tbe case with the Plea ant Valley reservoir, and this influx of new kio pie is what is moat desired in making the eouuty an agricultural district, with a larger population te share in the exiiensya incident to tha storage pnqiosition. Smith announced himself as now most heartily in favor of the Pleasant Valley scheme. Recall Effort of Pioneer. A. W. Horsley, telling that ha wa not a iiarticularly heavy landowner, said that he was yet vitally interested in the outcome of the storage tion. He said that if failure come it eould be no more disastrous to the community at large for the big project than for the smaller, and it might as well be "whole hiig or none. He told how he has in times passed seen three or four yean in succession when the water supply was so short that the Mammoth dam would not have supplied the needed water, while the holdover storage behind the Pleasant Valley structure will keep operation up without difficulty. lie told how the first settlers built tbe eanals when they didn't have a hundred dollars among the lot of them, and said that the present undertaking wa really less in projiortinn than was that first work.' They made a contract to get the work done for nine thousand dollars and it cost them twenty, but they struggled through and there was no doubt but that this immensely large operation would work out with less trouble than in the old days. Horsley touched on the proposition that has been broached to sell the Gooseerry site to Sanpete eounty people, lie said that the idea of putting up tbe Mammoth dam now, to be followed by the structure in Pleasant Valley and then to dispose of the first one, was not to be thought of. Put in the big one now and if w must sell the Gooseberry site, do it be fore expending good money on it. He told how he had seen the Price rivet so dry in July that it was necessary to dig holes in the river bed to get a place to water stock. With the moth dam in oieration it would still be possible with a succession of these short years to reproduce this condition, but with the big reservoir behind the Pleasant Valley dam these dry year eoubl tie tided over nicely. He claimed that no water right can be called a real one without storage. Fortunate conditions as to the water supply during the past few years should not now make us lose sight of what might hep. pen when depending on the runoff not supplemented by adequate storage. We are spending immense sums for paved roads, for schoolhouses and what not to build up the community. We have a thousand children going to school. Just what will they do when they grow up unless provision is made that will increase the agricultural areaf Put this eounty in a condition where a mt farm will be as desirable as it now is up in Utah county and the population will flow in.
