Show irrigation WORK TUB tim I list legislative assembly had under t Lon a lull bill for appointing au an irrigation engineer and making nn all appropriation for surveying survey ini a canal line from irom the grand river to the green the bill mae killed in the committee room and ita its merits were not fully disc umed an irrigation engineer la is algoet an absolute the statutes of the territory contain but lattio law concerning irrigation and water rights constant Co litigation with an annual increase of perplexing difficulties naturally results by the appointment of a competent engineer and the enactment of just lawa laws goNer governing ning the proper gragina and distribution of alt 11 1 irem in tho the territory these cabbe can bo amicably adjusted and a surplus of water bo be obtained in at imo 01 o mery district the people have a right to demand clear title to batir rights without eapen eive personal litigation the legin legislature la of the territory should provide euch such relief by providing for the a appointment p of an irrigation engineer the grand river probably carries more water through una this territory ever every year ear witti without out even one man mail than is carried by all other stream streams in too entire territory in grand county between this river and the green ie is a body of land estimated to contain at least acree acrea that can be reclaimed and brought unde culli by one canal the coel cost of making a preliminary urvey survey not exceed 2000 this could be done by the irrigation engineer under the direction of the legisla Ic giela ture and hie his report would be accepted as official and correct eastern men who are interested in irrigation would take up thie this proposition if utah men did not and the canal would be constructed the taxes would in one year repay all expenditures made mada by the terr territory itry ard hundreds of homes would bo be built up tho the rio granda grande western railway passee passes through this desert of oco one half halt malliou acree acres and for 53 38 miles the traffic does not hardly delmi the for coal and if the legislature should take such steps as would result in

undertaking la is nothing in n comparison with ho tile work being done by irrigation coin parnell in arizona and california and ud ite its benefits to utah cannot be reckoned in dollars and ceat cents we hope the neat next legislature will not riot neglect to give the people an irrigation engineer and pas raa such laws as will encourage the development of irrigation enterprises TUB tue people of utah must devato more attention to agricultural products minin mining one of the most important industries has practically ceased and tho the revenue derived cheref ie is in all the avenues of tride the agricultural resource resources have lapsed into a stata state of im profitableness these must be revised and the valuable acres utilized special or dai diversified ossified orsi fied farming is the work m ork to winch which attention must bo be diverted small farina farms well tilled yield its ii mense returns if the fertility of the land is maintained southern so athern california owes her success to small farma farms of ten and anti twenty acres there tilling the soil has been reduced to a science lence ee and the most independent people are thosa living upon these email small tracts condi tiona are somewhat different in this county but there is no reason why a degree of prosperity should not riot prevail hero small patches pat elies of potatoes onions beans and other marketable products could be grown and the farmers would have something bosell to sell fitall at all seasons of the year the market is assur sed th are unsurpassed soil cliett nad and water are not lacking all

tho tile attitude atti tudo oc of the prefect national administration ie is such as to agne ie no hope of immediate relief in that direction so far as silver and lead are concerned yet the mountains
