Stunning Some Proportions

Stunning Some Proportions.
&. G. Rognon one of the members
of the syndicate which recently pur-
chased the reservoir site between Mona
and Nephi and secured the location Of
it in the neighborhood of 10000 acres
of very valuable lands lying to the
southwest of the town of Goshen,
which are to be irrigated by water
from the reservoir, is back from the
scene of operations Actual work was
commenced some ten days ago and at
present a large force of men are at
work on the outlet drain tunnel, which
will be 125 feet in length, leaving the
basin at its lowest level All of the
approaches have been completed and
the miners are now cutting through
the concrete formation.
Within the next ten days the SURVEYS
Of the canal system are to be made

the requirements of the system de-
mand and if the present good weather

Construction of the great labrynth- OF

month is two weeks old. 1t is the in
! tenton OF the company to make such
| progress with the completion of the
canals as to be able to irrigate some
| 5000 acres of land this year.
| Current and other streams of the
section are now higher than for years
! and many of the bridges over the
streams and the dams Of the various
! irrigation companies are threatened
with destruction. There has been an ex-
! tremeIy heavy snow fall in the valleys
| on both sides of the divide, through

toward the southern end of Utah lake

water for all irrigating purposes is as.

At the time of a passing rebellion IN
Ireland, known as Smith O'Brlen's, the
region where Frances Power Cobbe lived
and worked among the poor was trans
formed, as she says, into little Hecla
not under snow, but mud. Clubs were
formed for tho purpose of buying pixies, to
be used whenever the leaders at Dublin
should call for an instruction. The result
was as harmless as the bursting of bub-
BILE, but meantime there had been real
danger for all landed proprietors, whose
downfall had been determined upon. One
incident related by Miss Cobbe shows her
innocent participation i'll the rebellion.
She says:
/ was visiting the fever patients at Ba-
lisk and was detained in the village quito
late one summer evening. So many were
i'll that it took long time to supply them
with food and all things necessary. At
one house. where three persons were i'll, l

left money to purchase the articles l had
prescribed. Next morning my father said
TO me:

watching tho door and saw you through it.
AS soon as you were gone the club assem-
bled there. They were waiting for your
departure. The money you gave was sub
scribed to buy pikes-of course to pike

men on trade in Pittston. One day this
week he entered one Of our dry goods
stores, the proprietor of which takes no
back seat as to shrewdness. The custo-
mer wanted dozen buttons for his cloth
ing, and was not particular about style
if they were only strong. The trader hunted
up some old musty buttons that cost him
40 cents dozen and offered them for a
cent apiece He was offered 10 cents for
the dozen, but when the customer went to
