on the dam, some bridge building, a Co
has been accomplished by the power

There are several other witnesses to
be examined and the case bids fair to
continue for two or three days. 1t was
brought out in the case that the de-
PENDANT corporation had in cCntempla-
ton the furnishing of water for irriga-
tion purposes for the high lands in
Provo valley. This was given as rea-
son for building their dam and fiume at
the point Of dispute.
On DISCRIMINATION, Mr.. Thurman
attempted to prove that this could be
done by bringing out the waters at
lower point, where a fiume had been
commenced MI PaddOn stated that
the dam being made at the height now
proposed was for pcwer purposes.
Mayor HOlbroOk, who is identified
with the power company, told how he
became interested in the business, it
being assumed that a 14.000-hOrse
power could be acquired by conserving
the waters in Provo canyon The point
near Hanging Rock was selected be-
cause it afforded a better fall and an
peared to be a spot where dam could
be most feasibly put in.

as trustees for the company. which out
lined their claims and gave the Dur
poses of putting in plant which was to
generate power for electric and other
purposes. M HOlbrOok was instru-
mental in employing men and oversee
ing the active work contemplated by
the company. All the operations have
been near Thayne's place. or Hanging

toned.
