Show JEWS SETTLING IN UTAH. A large colony of Russian Jews are soon to be located in the Pah Vant valley, just LhIow Leamington, Leaming-ton, it is said. Baron Ilirsh of Paris, is backing the project, and a i man named Kline is agent. A con-! tract is let for 300 houses on a level tract of land, which only j needs water to make it exceeding- ly productive. They have what is considered to be the best reservoir site in Utah. They hove a site where a ledge of rocks crosses the valley, so that a dam could be built seventy-five feef high, which, when that high, would Jje 900 feet long on top, and would back up the water sixteen miles, with an average width of two miles. With this amount of water they expect to be able to irrigate 160,000 acres of land. The land is said to be fertile fer-tile and there is lots of it. Provo Dispatch. |
