BEAVER RIVER RESERVOIR.
One of the Several New Southern r.
riSation Enterprises.

One of the Several New Southern Ir-
riSation Enterprises.
Since about the 18th of last June,
z. H. Holloway has been a stock
holder, director and general manager
of the corporation known as the Bea-
yer River Irrigation company, says the
Beaver Utonian. Since this time con-
siderable work has been done; the
canal has been extended some nine or
ten miles, they have rip-rapped the
Dam, bought land that was above the
railroad track. put in head-gates and
wasteways, stopped up leakages and
arranged for laterals from which
farmers below the dam could take out
their irrigating bitches.
The reservoir, of course, is con-
Structed to furnish water to the farm
efS below. The work as above stated,
began about July 1, 1894. and has been
IN almost continuous progress since
From the effects of a restraining
order placed upon the company

cuiues in perfecting title in the land
ONCE, the company has been much de-
layed in the progress of their work.
ana they have not been able to hold
back all the water Which otherwise
they had intended to do.
Since Mr.. Holloway has been mana
ger there have been expended in i'm
proponents S22,6S4.11, and more work
is in contemplation.
1t is said by some that there are
about 5000 acres Of bottom land and
about 1900 acres of bench land that
can be irrigated by the waters of this
reservoir. There is not water SUFFICIENT
at the present condition of the dam to
lrrigate this amount. A more correct
estimate would probably be 27,0OO
acres altogether, when the reservoir
and canals are completed. The present
capacity Of the dam is not more than
1000 acres of water.

There is still a great scarcity of hard
or anthracite coal and the dealers,
both wholesale and retail, are having

it is only necessary TO cite the fact

MACHINERY NOW IN NOTION.
Provo Wooden Mills Have Resumed
Full Operations.


Again are the Provo Wooden mills in
full operation, the machinery of the
plant having been placed in motion
yesterday morning, after an idleness
of twenty days. The cessation Of
operations was made in order that the
taking Of stock might be carried on
without interruption and the pro-
longed delay was due to the failure of
the board of directors to decide upon
the course of action necessary in the
case.
Everything having been prearranged
with that enc IN view. the nnanufac-
ture of cloth commenced with the first
movement of the looms Under ordi-
nary circumstances it would have been
several days before the looms resumed
their accustomed work. but in order
TO prevent just such results the pat
terms were left in the machines and
their continuation was the matter of
but few minutes of adjustment.
Unless certain contingencies arise Ii
Is the intention of the board to con
tinue the operation of the mills during
the remainder of the season without =
serious break.
