ELSINORE.
Twenty-Five years ago a little town
sprung ~ seven miles southwest Of
Riehfeld. The Danish Helsinore was
Anglicized to ElsinOre, and so the ham,
let was christened by the settlers, who
foresaW that mining men and travel
ers, journeying from Richfield to Pr
ute's mines and the region south, must
stop there for lodging or provisions;
and it is q fact today that ElsinOre is
one of Gold Mountains principal sup
ply seats The folk of Elsinore, prac-
tically all Scandinavians, are frugal
and Industrious: many of them are
wealthy. The Coop store, born in 1877,
with a capital stock of $75, was incOr-
porated in 1888, now has a. capital and
reserve of $12. 000 and is doing a month
Iy business of 900. This has been the
best business year of its existence.
Another house ranking along with the
Coop is the general merchandise estab-

the Otter creek reservoir project. The
main undertakes of the latter enter
prise were tied up in the former suit,
and when freed by compromise, at once
took hold of the Otter creek scheme,
which is now an assured success. The
building of the dam is being pushed
rapidly forward by the executive com
mittee, r. d. Young, August Bohman
and j. A. Ross. The reservoir itself
covers 5000 acres. Water will back up
in it five miles from the dam, in which
distance the fall is only eight and one
half feet. The average width is about
a half-mile, but when full the lake will
exceed a miles width in many places.
r. G. Gemmen of Salt Lake City is
engineer and p. D. Schroeder of Salina
is surveyor. Otter creek is the reser-
voir's chief feeder but Sewer rivers
east fork will also be tapped by a canal
to be run six and one-half miles across
a bench. The reservoir will empty it
self into the east fork through a 100-
foot tunnel now being driven through
solid rock At either end of the tunnel
will be an open cut of 40 feet. Already
there has been done $4,000 worth of
work and the total estimate cost of the
DAM canal and tunnel is $4,000. The
irrigation fluid, stored in the Otter
creek reservoir, will run down to Sc
vier county through the Sewer river
ing companies according to the basis
of settlement at their law suit com
promise and according to their several
shares of stock subscribed.
Sewer is in the front rank of irriga-
ton counties in Utah. Her lands lie
in perfect shape for the reception of
water, which, stored by reservoirs, is
adequate for all her needs. This year
the SEWER Valley Canal company has
been building a dam at Three Creek,
up Clear Creek canyon, and next year
expects to extend its canal on north be-
You'd Richfield to a large scope of now
arid land. H. e. Taylor of Richfield,
with others, has located a reservoir site
near Annabella, on the east side of the
valley, and may perfect his plans there
next year.
COUNTY PRODUCTS.
Ninety-seven has been a phenomenal
grain, live stock. produce and fruit year
in Sewer county. Her soil, mostly rich,
and averaging 40 feet deep, deposited
for centuries by floods carrying natur-
al fertilizers from the wooded noun
tains, has this year been aided by sun
shine and water in the yielding of mag
nificent crops. The three cuttings of
alfalfa were enormous, and timothy and
wild hay held up to establish the ratio
Nearly all the wheat raised is ground
at the home mills, and outside the
home consumption the chief shipments
