stUdendOus undertaking to be feasible.
The reservoirs are to be constructed at
five points in ogden valley. One site
is just above the present Seepage dam,
three are to be put at South Fork, Mid
die Fork and North Fork of ogden
river, above the one first mentioned,
while the fifth is located but a short
distance above the junction of Middle

The number of students is greater
this year than ever before, and this be-
ing the case, Professor KingsbUry says
it will be necessary to add to the teach
ing force and supply many of the de
mands Of modern college. Additional
teachers, apparatus and books are
needed.

same time points out a number of i'm
portant additions that are demanded

congress to establish the school of
mines The president follows with
description Of the different departments.
A statement as to the school of mines
from the principal, Joseph F. Merrill.
is embodied in President Kingsburys
report. Among other things Professor
Merrill says;
IT am firmly convinced that the min
ing school may be made the most popu-
lar department Of the college work, and
I that it is through this school that the
university may most easily acquire a
reputation as a college doing college
work
After speaking Of the many natural
advantages for such a school in Utah,
Professor Merrill says:
Two years ago, when shop work was
offered for the first time. il was elected
by about six students; last year by a
dozen; this year by two dozen. and I
think between forty and fifty Will ap-
ply next year"
In the opinion of Professor Merrill.
$4,000 is needed at once to add greater
facilities to his department. and he
sets forth in detail the additions most
needed. Prominent among these is a
workshop, to include d foundry, forge
rooms, machine rooms, wood working
rooms and steam engine and by
draulic testing laboratory The cost of
this shop is put at $4,000.

In the university appropriation Of 1897
the sum of $4,000 was set apart for the
purchase of books. but This did not
prevail, and the regents made an ap-

this year has witnessed great progress
in this respect. In the innumerabie
streams flowing from the canyons Of

d Eailable to produce no less than a
half million horsepower, were Il all

the various plants in operation ger er-
ate be-Wee7. Il 900 and 1S,100 horse
power, and not less than $500 600 has
been invested in electric projects in
Utah during the past six years
Outside of Salt Lake City, which uses
the greatest amount of power for her
street car lines and lighting system,
the mines are the chief consumers of
this vast store of electricity In fact
the mining industry has been revoIu-

plant was constructed in this state in
