MIR. ROWE TALKS.
The Receiver in the Jarvis-ConIzIin
Litigation.

Litigation.
Some time ago The Herald stated
that the Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage
receivers. would be reorganized, and
judging from the results which have
been attained one of the first steps
looking to that reorganization has been
taken. The others will be as successful
and the great corporation will again
soon be standing upon its own bot
tom. unless all signs of the times fail.
Upon the suit and al the request of the
receivers of the company, the blank
e. deed of trust for $2,100,000, given on
the Bear river canal and the company
land living there under the Ogden city
waterworks and the property rights
of the Salt Lake Land and Irrigation
COMPANY. has been forecloSed and a
receiver appointed for all Of the prop
erty mentioned. AS given to the read
ers of The Herald yesterday the re-
ceiver is William H. Rowe, and that
gentleman has given bond in the
sum of $4,000 and duly qualified. The
aDpointment is made subject to the
claims of William Garland the con-
tractor on the canal. which aggregate
SS7. 000
When asked yesterday what were
his plans for the future of the canal
system and the great tract of land ly-
ing under it. Mr.. Rowe stated that the
land has already been placed upon the
market and is finding ready SALE being
among the most fertile in the world.
Eight tons of lucerne to the acre and
FORTY bushels of grain to the acre are
the rule with this land and not the
execution. While we are in favor of
Utah people taking up and settling on
our land said Mr.. Rowe, I'VE have
several propositions to enter into great
colonization enterprises and may Sc
cure a colony of Hollanders and anoth-
er of Germans All of these people
and their settlement in this territory
would add to the value of taxable prop
erty. The canals of the Bear river
canal system water 100, 600 acres of the
richest land in the world and of this
amount the COMPANY owns $4,000. We
sell the land and with each acre goes
a permanent water right. The terms
are verv easv and it is the intention
to offer special inducements to the
young men of this territory to settle
on these lands.
''Just as soon as the season opens
10000 forest and fruit trees will be
planted in the valley and we will also
put in 5000 acres of lucern and 1000
acres of grain. The hay will be used
and it will then be unnecessary for
the Utah stock growers to send their
stock to Nebraska to be fed for mar
llet. 1t is estimated that $4,000 tons of
hay at least will be raised on the 5000
acres of land and this amount of hay
win feed a large number of cattle
sheep and hogs. The settlers under
the canal have already put in 5000
acres. of winter wheat and more will
be put in when spring opens.
by an exchange of water the peo-
pie Of Bear River city on Bear river,
are now enabled to raise splendid crops
and are in a most prosperous condition
Until the canal was opened they were
forced to use the waters of the Malad
river. which are heavily impregnated
with alkali and the crops raised We're
very inferior. The canal company took
the Malad river and exchanged canal
water for it, allowing the river to con-
tinue on down to Corinne for the pur-
pose of running the Touring mills there.
''The Bear river canal system includes
about seventy miles of main canal and
$50 miles of laterals. The water has
been shut off for the winter and will
not be turned in again until spring
opens"
