ST. GEORGE CONFERENCE.
Apostle Grant and Others Delivered
Addresses.
Especial CORRESPONDENTS

ST. George, Dec. 13.-The quarterly
stake conference and the conference OF
the Young Men and Young Ladies OF
this stake was one of the best ever
witnessed here. There was large at
tendance due to the presence OF Apes
tie Heber j. Grant, his brother, d. +.
Grant and Frank Y. Taylor, the latter
two being down for the express purpose
of talking to the young men and aid
ing in the advancement or the I'M
provement work.
Apostle Grant made some telling re-
marks in regard to the Era and its
object and aim. He also gave some in
teresting points on faith and its work
ings and obedience.
Elder Frank Y. Taylor made fine
impression when he portrayed the suf-
fering of the Saints in their expulsion
from Nauvoo, relating the circum-
stances as given by Kane in the His
tory of the Mormon Battalion.
But the most interesting feature OF
the entire conference was the relation
by B. F. Grant of the story Of his life
and conversion to the faith of Nor
monism, while out in Oregon, after
having spent thirty-nine years OF his
life without 50 much as uttering a
prayer to God and entirely devoid of
any faith whatever in the religion OF
his father, one of the most noted of all
members of the Mormon church in its
early history. He said one of the
greatest curses to the young, espec-
tally, was the saloon The come and
have something was the downfall of
many a young man. He said he knew
all about such things because he kept
ore at Milford and he could see many
familiar faces sitting before him. This
was rather an unlocked for cut and
caused dismay in the ranks of the

TO INVESTIGATE IRRIGATION
IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE
CENSUS WORK.
Request for the Names of All Canals
and bitches in the Arid West
Importance of Investigation.

A special effort will be made by the
division of agriculture of the twelfth
census of the United States to collect and
tabulate important data relating to irri-
gation in the arid and semi-humid regions
u the United States. A preliminary
schedule has been prepared and will soon
be sent out to obtain the names of cor
porations and individuals owning canals
or bitches This is one of the essential
steps for securing desired information
regarding the extent and value OF the
canals and bitches used for irrigation,
and their sources of water supply.
In the preliminary schedule request is
made for the names of the principal
canals or bitches in their order down
stream. the bitches 10 the right COOKING
down stream being arranged on the first
page of the list, and those heading to the
left on the last page Request is also
made for the name and postoffice ad-
dress of some person who can give de-
tailed Information concerning each ditch.
The principal schedule now in course
of preparation viii be mailed to the ad-
dresses thus obtained calling for further
data which will be supplemented by de-
tailed statistics gathered by the census
enamerators.
II should be noted by all interested in
the subject that these various inquiries of
the cerSus Office in no way conflict with.
or duplicate the work, with reference TO
irrigation which is being conducted by
any other department of state. The most
nearly related inquiry Is that of the geo
logical survey which, like that of the
census. is under the more immediate di-
recticn of L. II. Newell, the special
agent for irrigation in the eleventh CEN
sus and photographer of the geological
survey. The fact that Mr.. Newell has
supervision of this work in the twelfth
census guarantees its efficiency and its
value to the arid and senli-humid regions.
tt will be readily apparent that the
volume and value of these statistics Will
depend very largely upon the attention
and interest shown therein by those en-
gagged IN irrigation. and ii is earnestly
hoped that all to whom the schedules are
addressed viii. appreciate the importance
of the request and make prompt and care
ful reply. In this way only VIII it be
possible To make the information con-
corning irrigation a fun understanding
ana an intelligent appreciation of the
possible development of the arid and
semi-humid regions of the west, a general
knowledge of the progress actually made
IS OF vital Importance An accurate CEN
sus of irrigation will impart such general
knowledge. and will be of great benefit
TO all those concerned in redeeming arid
lands. The future development of this
vast portion of our domain will be greatly
advanced by a comprehensive compilation
of facts relating 10 its irrigation such as
contemplated by the twelfth census.

Especial correspondcnce.)


Spring City. Dec. ia meeting was
called last evening by the -four mill
committee. which was appointed at a
previous meeting for the purpose of
soliciting subscriptions, draw articles Of
incorporation and see to mill site. The
articles were adopted, naming the pro-
ject the Spring City Grist Mill COM
pany, and fixing the capital stock at
$4,000 at $40 per share. Much interest

mined to make the much needed pro-
iect an unqualified success. Mr.. Ole
Larsen. millwright of Ephraim, was
present and gave some very valuable
and interesting information. Andrew
Madsen was chosen as the president;
Carl Hansen, secretary. and Simon T.
Beck, treasurer. While at Mt. Pleas
ant today Judge johnson induced some
of the local capitalists there TO take
some stock, and the time is short when
preparatory steps will be initiated to-
ward the building, which bids fair to be
one of the most up-to-date and useful
in Sanpete county.
