tAsG SUNDAY, where Iney Will Vlsl1 WIN
irlenos Ior a lew weeks.
The recent storms Swelled the waters of
Bear river to considerable extent; still it
can be forded at almost any point.
The storm last Sunday completely
drenched this valley. The rain came down
In torrents; banks were washed out and
cellars flooded. Much good was the result
and little damage done.
There are two postoffices in this valley :;
one in the northern part called Gentle val
ley P. o., and the one il the southern ex
tremity called Cleveland. In addressing
letters this should be remembered.
People are still on their way Soda- ward.
Last Thursday several teams were passed
owing up Gentle valley toward the land
springs and drinks. Among the number
were }. I. Hammond, wife and children,
X. Murdoch and family, l.. K. Martineau
and others.
The crops throughout this valley arc very
good this season considering the lack OF
Rocky mountain system. The meadows
have yielded good cut of hay and are now
looking green and beautiful. Stock has
good feed and is looking well.

Now comes the news that another g1gan-
tic canal. scheme Is working itself to the
surface. 1t is reported by good parties that
several Utah capitalists and others are soon
to form a company for the purpose of
watering that vast tract OF barren, sage
brush land covering all OF Gentle valley.
There will be another meeting soon, when a
permanent organization is expected to be
formed. me intention is to put an immense
dam IN the river about ten miles west OF
Soda Springs, when the water can be raised
SO as TO water thousands OF acres OF land
which is now almost useless, its only worth
being IN the scant growth OF stump grass,
upon which many cattle are now feeding.

future hopes ON the feasibility and success
