NEW KIND OF IRRIGATION.
1t Is Said to BE as Practicable ns 1t
Is inexpensive.

\ Belle Fourche advice says: Up
to two a ago the cattlemcn had
considerable trouble on their drives,
owing to the long distance between
watering places. There was great
abundance of water in the creeks, but
they were too far apart. To obvlate
this the railroad company built two
experimental reservoirs in 1894. These
| were such n success that more We're
put in last year. and now they ar"
preparing to put in two more, making
thirteen in all.
But little expense is attached to con-
Struction OF these reservoirs, a site
being selected at the head of some
dry ruyine and an earth dam drown
| up. and experience has demonstrated
that these dams are equally Us peima-
nent as inexpensive.
During the freShetS in the sp: ng
these reservoirs are filled. ana in"y re-
tain the water. clean and pure, owing
TO the high altitude, until af[rr 'Ae
cattle shipping season in November.
The experience of the railroad com
pany encouraged the farmers In that
locality to try this system OF storing
water for irrigating purposes. A few
made a beginning last year. and their
success was so pronounced that many
are putting them in this year.
1t is thought that the general adop-
ton Of this system would result in less
loss from floods along the main
streams and greatly increase returns
from the soil. and it is urged that were
the general government to take hold of
it all over the watershed of the Mis-
siSsippi river the necessity for the eX-
Denditure of immense sums OF money
for the protection OF the low lands in
the South would be obviated and mil
lions of acres of now unproductive and
worthless lands would be made fertile

AT 10 o'clock this morning the great
carnival will be in full blast.
The city is flooded to overlooking
with strangers. and everybody seems
bent upon enjoying the show to the
utmost.
Yesterday, being the last day in
which to prepare for the formal open
ing, was characterized by especial ac-
tivaty at headquarters and throughout
the city. The gay decorations which
the beginning Of the day found in a
more or less chaotic state had, before
noon, assumed a symmetry. and pri1n-

GOOD-NATURED RIVALRY.
The good-natured rivalry in vogue
among the decorators was not without
its humorous side. Under this head
the complications arising from the
thrift of a Main street establishment
is easily entitled to first place. 1t was
in this place that the Carnival
Queen had been employed previous to
the issuance OF the McGarvie edict
elevating her TO the throne. Certainly
such honor as had been bestowed upon
his employee must also be reflected
upon himself ana, incidentally, upon
his esta blishment. With quick eye to
business, he resolved TO profit by the
happy circumstance. Accordingly, late
in the afternoon of Tuesday he swung
across the pavement in front of his

The business houses of Salt Lake are
in holiday attire today. Main street is
gorgeous with decorations and every
where is Haunted the red, white and
blue. The competition between the
leading mercantile houses of Zion has
been quick, sharp and lively, and just
at present it is hard to tell which
carries off the palm. The natives are
not only surprised-they're dazzled,
amazed and stand about on street cor
ners with gaping mouths and wonder
ing eyes.
The festive Ute, the gentlemen from
the Orient, the descendants of Ham,
the boys from the COW counties, and
the fair city girls, and the bloods of
Zion all come, look and are conquered.
Edwin Arnold said that in order to
adequately describe the ceremonies of
the Russian metropolis one would have
to write in colors, and anyone attempt
ing to describe Main street in it's pres
ent garb can sympathize with Edwin
and his -overwrought nerves.
Utah is not going to walk into the
Union calmly The scene in this city
is such that a monarch might look
UP with green envy.
The merchants OF the new state have
caught the idea, and have decreed
that she shall come into the galaxy of
states with a flourish of trumpets.
The old residents must have wondered
at the brilliancv of East Temple last
evening. AS far as the eye could see
Old Glory waved in all her loneliness.
Every building was bedecked with ma
tional colors. and a thousand glitter
ing electric lights of every known color
bewildered the eyes with dazzling
beauty.
