Callister Replies.

Then Callister got in his answer. If
going into a Republican convention and
being elected to the council as Repub-
lican. and then going into Democratic
caucus and voting against Republican
nominees, if voting for non-partlsans
and then switching back to Republicans
constitutes Republicanism. then l am
not a Republican. l am Il Republican
in that l am opposed to the Democrats.
but 1 can see some good in that party:
Robertson squirmed visibly while
Callister. was talking. When the latter
had finished he tried to justify himself
in this wise: Il never voted against
man as a Republican or as Demo-
crat. / voted against one man in spite
of the fact that he was urged to me as
a Republican. l believe he was one OF
Mr.. John T Gaines assistant chairmen
on the non-partisan committee.
Callister didn't think Robertson's re-
ply was worthy rejoinder, at least ne
didn't make a response, so Robertson
went out into the cloak room and smok-
ed two cigarettes to quiet his nerves.

An Underground Survey.

1.-THE survey will be underground, as
well as on the surface, and we shall try
and find out if the water overlooked on
TO the upper bench lands drains into
the ground, and seeping through, arises
again to the surface on the lower lands,
thus causing a solution of, the alkaline
matter in the soil and causing it to
spread over and incrust the surface.
Another theory, the excessive use OF
water upon upper lands and the dram
age on to lower ground will be closely
examined. What will be accomplished
we cannot tell, but important results
are anticipated"
Director Luther Foster of the Logan
station. to whose influence and persist
ent solicitation is largely due the pres
ent investigation, said after the con-
ference that he considered the action
of the agricultural department would
be of incalculable benefit. not only to
Utah, but TO the entire west.
There are thousands of acres in this
valley and all over Utah and the en-
tire west that were once highly Guilt
waited fields producing large yields that
are now deSolate alkali wastes, said
Mr.. Foster.
Il know of great fields that gave big
crops of lucern that have become de-
vastated by the alkaline deposits. All
of the soil of these valleys is the resi-
certain quantities of alkaline sub
stances which have been left in the soil.
When this soil is watered properly 1t
can be highly cultivated, and will give
immense returns, but when il receives
too much water its alkaline properties
become dissolved and, mixing with the
sap of the growing plant, the latter Is
destroyed The vegetation will stand
certain amount of this alkaline solu-
ton, but when it is in excess of the
proper proportion devastated fields and
alkali fats are the result.
Il believe much information will be
obtained and much good accomplished
from this investigation, as the research
will be most thorough and exhaustive,
and will in no manner be hurried or
rushed. Considerable money is at the
disposal of the soil division of the agri-
cultural department for this matter,
and I am of the opinion we shall find
some way to reclaim these wastes and
to prevent their recurrence.

Will Begin at Once.

1t was determined to begin the inves-
tigation Immediately by commencing
here in the Salt. Lake valley, and to
examine thoroughly the lands west OF
the Jordan river. One party will also,
within ten days, begin in the Provo sec
ton, and it is calculated the eXamina-
lions and surveys Will cover a period
of fully three months.
Mr.. Means, in speaking of his duties
last evening after the conference,
stated that Mr. Gardner and Chemist
Stewart of the Logan station would
pursue the work in this region, while
he should attend to the investigation
about the Provo section.
1T is we'll known that in all sections
where there is extensive irrigation
workings" said Mr. Means, there has
been worked a destruction to certain
lands in the vicinity. Whether this de-
terioration, and in some instances abso-
lutte destruction, has been caused by
seepage from the canals, or overfiows
therefrom, or by excessive irrigation OF
the lands themselves, is largely mat
ter of theory, and has never been de-
termined.
I'VE have been sent out here to Salt
Lake and Utah to find out the cause, or
causes, if possible, and have been given
wide latitude in our Investigations, and
will take all the time necessary TO ar
rive at a most careful and positive con-
cluSion, if the latter is possible. We
will endeavor to obtain such facts as
may determine the best possible meth
DDS in irrigation, and to provide RENE
dies TO prevent wastage of water or
destruction and injury to land.

Government experts are here from

of the soil in various sections of the
state and determine, if possible, the
causes of the deterioration of cultivated
lands, and the formation of alkal flats
upon what was once prosperous farm
ing land.
The soil division of the Agricultural
department, of which Dr. Whitney is in
charge, has sent to Utah, at the urgent
request of owners of lands, two experts,
F. D. Gardner and Thomas H. Means,
to make a thorough survey of the waste
lands, and to determine, if possible, the
causes of destruction and devise or sug-
gest a remedy. These gentlemen, who
are at the Kenyon, met Luther Foster,
director of the Utah experiment sta
ton at Logan, and John Stewart, the
chemist of that station, at the Knuts-
ford last evening, and held a long con-
suitation.
