LcYltre Hu tier's Taylor Brothers Dixon Real to the District Court In to hie appeal was filed by the Provo Reservoir Company, and since that date until the present time the matter has been held In abeyance In the District Court. A few days back the Court permitted the Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation Company, Provo City and the West union Canal Company to file answers to the complaint of Mr. Tanner seeking to overrule the State engineer's cision In July, 115, Caleb Tanner of I Proro, former 8tate engineer, filed an application with the State engineer for 100 second feet of water of the Proro River for power purposes. It was proposed to take the water out of Provo River at the tall race of Utah Power A Light Company's plant at Olmstead and divert it through the Proro Bench Canal acroes Provo Bench and then drop It from the Bench down Into the river bottoms Into n power plant, and then return it to the West Union Canal and other canal companies which own the right to the consumptive use of the water. The State engineer denied the application on the ground that the river had been withdrawn An from further appropriation. appeal was made by Tanner to the District Court, which restored the application. Later the 8tate engineer rejected it on the further ground that it wee detrimental to the public welfare with the further explanation that the State of Utah, through the Water Storage Commission, and the Bureau of Reclamation of the United States Had entered into an agreement to make Investigation! and plane for the economical development and ronservation of the waters of the and Weber Provo, Duchesne Rivers, and that to permit this application to stand would Interfere with the progress of the reclamation project whirh would probably grow out of the InvestI - Estate Heed's Riteway stores im. Answer decisions. ' Continuance of the case was granted due to the Illness of T. F. Wentz, water commissioner, until April 25th, at which time It will come on for trial. Complaint In Intervention The Provo River Water Users' Association has filed a complaint In Intervention In which It la alleged that In 1921 the Water Storage Commission of Utah was organized (or the purpose of making Investigations and plans for the economical development of the waters of the Provo, Duchesne and Weber Rlvere, as well as other rivers of the state of Utah, and that shortly thereafter It entered into a contract with the Reclamation Bureau for a joint Investigation and for planning these projects. The complaint also alleged that as a result of this contract the Deer Creek Project was proposed an development work begun on It. and that at the time Tanner filed his application In 1925 more than 25,000 had been spent by these agencies, and that pursuant to the plan of these agencies the Provo River Water Users, Association was organized to act as the Intermediary between the metropolitan water districts, conservation district, irrigation companies and the United 8tates. It further alleged that the metropolitan districts and conservation districts are public corporations. organized to get water rights for domestic and culinary supply for the people living In these districts, and that the use to be made of the water Is a higher use thsn for power purposes, and that the United State has spent more then $400,000 In furthering the project, buying rights of way. and the Association has spent apIn work proximately 515.000 done to date to make the water available for the public. The complaint adds that to allow this power application of Tanners would make Impractical with the exchangee of water Power Company and other prior approprlators for the reason that It would cause a waste of water which would be evaporated In the lake and would also make an extra burden on the public. The association urges on all of these reasons, that the State engineer should be upheld In his decision, adding that to allow the application would be detrimental to the public welfare. Important to Deer Creek The suit Is of great Importance to the Hcer Creek Project as In the practical operation of Ihe Deer Creek project the United States will store large quantities of water In Utah Lake from the Duchesne and Weber Rivers In flush years, and then In drv year. In exchange for thl- - wat-rwill hold hack nnf of the Provo River during the winter time, through arrangements with the Tower Compsnv. winter wsters, explains Mr. Watkins.

Anticipating the road conditions, Mr. Clawson and other nt flclals of the Farmers Livestock commission telephoned and sent word otherwise to scores of growers throughout the area from Nephl, Price, Mantl, and Heber to hold off until next week. Despite all this, a large crowd of seller and buyers aid assemble at the etockyards, and much favor able comment was heard on all sides concerning the establishment of a weekly auction mart.

About 1200 young men become 21 years of ago every year In thla state, which may be taken to mean that at leaat 1000 new famine are or ought to be making homes each year In thla state. But Instead of this being true, the facte reveal that not ona additional aero has come under cultivation In Utah durifig tho last 25 years, for In 1910 there were 21,67$ farms In the state and In 1$I5 there were 30,695 farms, but the acreage had not Increased at all, the farms simply being subdivided and the Indebtedness increased. The mortgage indebtedness In 1910 was $7,500,000 but 35 years later it had reached $44,000,000 and the Income from livestock end other farm crops had boon reduced from $68,000,000 in 1910 to $51,000,000 In 1935. At the same time revenues from mines and minerals in the state had also been reduced from $82,701,000 In 1910 to 154.000.000 In 1936.

Utah on the present site of Provo. The event Is to be staged Saturday, March 11 ia tha Utah stake tabernacle. Participating In the Pageant of tho Pioneers, written by Pro feasor J. M. Jensen, John Smith Park, bora in the original Ft Utah, Dec. 29, 1141, the only living pioneer born 'In that fort, will ha honored during the program. A brief aketch of those early days la her given by him personally for this paper: My brother, William, and I were the first twins born In Utah county, the tone of John and Louisa Smith Park, who were sent here by President Brigham Yonng to settle Provo. Wo lived In tbs fort, and helped our father build the wall around tho elty. It was about ten feet high, four feet thick, with port holes every little way to obeervs the actions of the Indians, and to shoot through when necessary. I remember the Indians shooting arrows Into my father's cattle and oxen. After I wee married we moved onto Provo bench whoro I took np a homestead, during President Cleveland's term. I homesteaded 160 acres, on which I now live. Today there are 15 homes, a store, the Sharon school, and Sharon churrh all on my original homestead. The cement highway runs through It. I remember when the Provo Bench canal was started. Just four feet wide, and there were no roads. Just a wagon trail, and sage brush over tha country. I was superintendent of tho canal for Id years. "I have served aa ward clerk for 14 yean In Tlmpanogos warA, and as Justice of the Peace for 12 yean In Provo Bench precinct." Provo cltlxene are invited to attend tha prognm and pageant Saturday at the Stake tabernacle and see Mr. Park In parson, and participate themselves In the events commemorating this historic entry of the Pioneers In Utah Valley. St. Patrick's Day by Mary Ellen Cain Shamrocks of all sizes, top hats and clay pipe? are on display shops and In a few days the world will celebrate Saint Patrick's day. Old and young will be proud to ho "A wear In of the green". There will be gay partial and festivities. If one should make Inquiries of the various persons, who wear tiny shamrocks or bows of green ribbon on March seventeenth, aa to the why and wherefore of this custom, they no donbt would rereive many varied answers and explanations. Some might explain that Saint Patrick was tha patron Saint of Ireland the home of the happy, carefree, singing people. Some would surely My that Saint Patrick by some unexplained miracle, hod banished snakes and venomous creatures from, the soil of Ireland. Others might My that the green represents the Irish people because they so dearly love their native land which la beautiful with Its green grass, trees and foliage. And if one chanced to ask an Irish boy or girl what aignWegiift the shamrock carries they would enthusiastically relate the story el Saint Patrick, teaching the pagans and being nnable to make them understand how there could be "three divine persona la one," had stooped and plucked a little shamrock and explained that there woe three distinct leeves In one leaf. Students of history would relate that Saint Patrick was bora In Klllpatrlck, near Dumbarton, Scotland about the year I87A. D. While still a youth he began hla Christian teachings He went to pagan Ireland aa a missionary. Thus engagod he suffered many hardships and persecutions. No Ism than twelve times, he and hie companions were captured and carried away by pagans, bat always he returned to carry on hie missionary work. He established many schools, monastarles and churches in Ireland. Many miracles ere credited to this beloved Saint who lived to see a pagan nation become Christian through his teachings. He died at Saul, Dowerpatrick, Ireland, March 17, 413. One wonders today, when power-ma- d rulers are succeeding la reversing the order of Saint Patrick's time turning Christiana Into pagans. Yes. one wonders from where and when will there he given unto humanity leaders end teachers snch as Saint Patrick.
