IN AND AROUND DELTA The Week's News from the Coming Metropolis , During tlie month 28 cars of settlers' effects, consisting of farm Implements, stock, hay and grain, and household goods were unloaded at Delta, and six cars have been received so far this mouth.

This Is the project for watering the lands on the! east side of the county. It will be car-j Hed out by Utah capital anil In charge of Utah men. Among those directing the enterprise are W. '. McCornick, Lafayette llolbrook, Frank Kimball and A. A. Hinckley. The first step In the work is the construction of a reservoir reser-voir at the Fool Creek Sink and the making of canals to water about 13.000 acres of land. We hope to give fuller particulars of the plana of the company com-pany in our next Issue. - . m.. mm ,.mmMftipy.i: We understand that the town board will soon have plans for the Improvement Improve-ment of Clark Street. This work cannot can-not be commenced too soon, and ought to have been done a month ago. It Is the most traveled street In town, and yet Is In the poorest condition. It Is full of ruts and the ditches and cross flumes need fixing up. We understand I that the Melville Company, which did w hat grading has been done on Clark Street Is willing to further Improve the street In front of Its lots, and we believe every other property owner will be willing to do the same. As there lh little or no money In the treasury, Ibis Is, of course, the only way It can be done. With the chuck holes filled up, the roadway graded so the water will run off and then graveled, Clark street would then have the appearance of the main thoroughfare of the town what It was originally Intended for. It Is the main traveled road from Oak City, llolden and Hinckley and the south tract, and If put in good condition condi-tion will make a stronger appeal to prospective Investors than any kind of a talk under present conditions. We understand (he telephone company com-pany Is contemplating putting up a building with a switchboard and an all-metallic all-metallic circuit on the four-party sys-stem. sys-stem. This Is certainly a much need ed Improvement. Rut we think the town board should Insist that all telephone tel-ephone lines should run through the al-j leys. We don't want our main streets I decorated with poles and strung with wires. It will cost the company little. If any, more to run their lines through the alleys. They can reach every patron pa-tron Just as well and when that sjs-tem sjs-tem Is once installed It will be no more expensive to carry out and will make a big difference In the appear' a nee of the town when It Is a place of f.ooo or 10,000. as It will be In a lew years. Another Improvement that would add to the attractiveness of C'ark street would be to clean and level up the public square and plant a couple rf rows of trees all around It. Visitors Vis-itors would then know what It was Intended In-tended for and not take It for a Mg plot of vacant land This would be a good occupation for Arbor Day. and we hote every one will celebrate tl at day by planting some trees. Hel'a looks pretty bare now. and trees gtow si rapidly In our rich soil that we ran oon have this attractive feMur- J-idd J-idd 'o th other a'trsctions ef the . imtng metfLpoll. |
