FERNSTROM GATHERS SOME
ON WATER QUESTION.
Claims He Can Prove That City En-
gineer Kelsey Made Unauthorized
Promises to Farmers.

Councilman Fernstrom is going to
spring some affidavits in the council
meeting tonight relative te a stand
City Engineer Kelsey is said to have
taken with the Little Cottonwood far
mers, who are trying to arrange a
water trade with the city 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Kelsey made a number OF
wild promises TO these citizens with
out warrant or authority.
At meeting of the special commits
tee appointed to investigate Mr.. Kel-
sey'S accounts in connection with his
survey for more water, Mr.. Fernstrom
asked the engineer if he had not made
the promises referred to. Mr.. Kelsey
denied the charge point blank. and
Robertson took up the cudgels for him.
In the controversy that ensued Rob-
ertson so far forgot the position he
holds as to call Fernstrom a liar.
In order to prove who is telling the
truth. Mr.. Fernstrom took Justice Mel
sen with him on Sunday up to see some
of the farmers to whom Mr.. Kelsey is
said to have made the promises. IL is
stated that the councilman procured a
number of affidavits bearing on the
matter, and which will prove, so he
claims, that his position is correct.
Among the airy visions that the city
engineer is said to have brought be-
fore the farmers is one involving the
raising of Utah lake several feet, and
the purchase of all the land in the
vicinity. These and other plans that he
unfolded, it is said, would involve an
expenditure by the city of half a mil
lion dollars.

HOTEL GOSSIP.

Lester Taylor. a member of the last
legislature, was up from Moab Yesterday
and was registered at the Walker house.
Mr.. Taylor is an extensive cattle dealer.
and also has large mining interests in
Grand county. He spoke enthusiastically
of the conditions down south. The country
is being flooded with prospectors and
claims are being laid out every day. OF
course. says Mr.. Taylor, there is nothing
definite in claims but some of them are
being sold for $4,000, and some for $780,
600. I'VE are looking for great develop
ments from these claims. 1t is my opinion
that the section of country in and around
Moab will prove to be one of the richest
mining districts not only in Utah, but the
entire country. A carload Of ore has
been shipped to Thompson. Governor
Wells in company with Messrs. kearns
and Loose, has gone east, in the interest
of some mines down there.
