BIG CANAL SCHEME.
Government Investigating Pro-
iect of Great Magnitude to
Benefit the Farmers in
Eastern Utah,

An important irrigation project in
volving many thousand acres Of land in
eastern Utah is in prject il the govern
ment can be induced to investigate the
feasibility Of diverting the Grand river
in Colorado from its present course for
irrigatinR purposes. Q. Fitch of tho
government photographic bureau, who
is in charge af similar inquiry concern
ing the St. Mary river in Montana and
the Gunnison river in Colorado, is a
guest Of the Kenyon and recently had a
talk with Senator Kearns in support OF
the project.
The plan is to take the water from the
Grand at some point in western Colora-
do and carry it by an immense canal over
a large tract of eastern Utah.
The difficulties to be encountered. it is
said, are not 80 great as is the case with
the st. Mary river. which it is proposed
to tap close to the Canadian border and
divert by means of a canal to the Milk
river. after crossing it once by means of
an acqueduct.
IL WAS surprised to find such interest
manifested in the project" said Mr..
Fitch. Tho waters Of the Grand river
are wasted in the canons OF the Colorado
river, whereas they would enrich thous-
ands Of acres of Utah lands were a ca
nal constructed that would divert it's
course. 1t is impossible to estimate the
cost without investigatio but believe
tho plan possible. 1 believe the govern
msnt will be petitioned in that behalf"

SHOES THE TOPIC.
A Sentinel Reporter Takes q
Squint at the Big Shoe
Stock Of the White De-
partmcnt Store.

The most mistaken idea people can
have is that they can purchase goods
cheaper away from home than from their
home merchants.
Take, for instance, shoes. The w. F.
White department store has as fine a
usually displayed in the stores devoted
exclusively to the sale OF shoes in the
large cities. And why should they not
have such a stockY People are a. ad-
vsnced in their ideas of style in rural
districts as they usually are in the large
centers Of population.
A Sentinel man was invited into the
store few days ago and was shown
some OF the late fall goods, and, to be
honest, the reporter was surprised at the
splendid stock displayed.
Mr.. White, Of the store, explained that
a change had been made in the brands
OF shoes kept. Formerly the shoes Of
tho Brown Shoe company were their
leaders, but they have closed out this
stock, and have placed an exclusive line
Of the famous Schwab shoes for men and
boys on their shelves. This shoe ia one
Of the leading brands manufactured in
this country, and has justly earned q
reputation for At and quality not pos
sessed by many other makes. "If we
cannot make a mans foot look up to
date with the Schwab shoe we hardly
believe he will be able to find anything
better or as good in this town." said Mr.
White. Tho Schwab shoe is a strictly
up-to date make and besides contains
the very best oak tanned leather.
A shoe which is attracting a great
deal OF attention on their counters is q
school shoe for boys and girls, made ex-
pressly for the White company. 1t is a
factory made shoe, coming directly to
them, and passing through their handle
alone No johber's commission is made
on this shoe.
For the ladies--and this department ia
their pride--a shoe which is known to
almost every magazine reader is kept.
1t is the Julia Marlowe shoe. Its beauty
is unquestioned and any lady would be
pleased with pair. This ehoe is sold
at tho same price all over the United
States, and you can purchase 1t at the
White store for the same price you
would have 70 pay in San Francisco or
New York The shoe is a beauty and
will doubtless please the customers Of
this establishment.
"Shoss are becoming a hobby with
u.s." said Mr.. White, "as We have had
such phenomenal success In our trade
that we cannot do else than pay consid
erabe attention to this branch Of our
trade /"

TRIAL CONCLUDED.
Verdict Of Jury in the Jenkins
Case is Murder in Second
Degree. ----No Surprise
Felt at the Result.

The arguments in the Jenkins murder
Saturday evening and the case given to
the jury.
Messrs. James S. Carnshan and Chss.
f. Caswell. the former first counsel and
tho latter assisting. made fine appeals for
their client. Mr.. Cernahan made an es-
pecially good plea for the defendant,
Jenkins.
The jury remained out until this morn
ing. They had agreed upon verdict
before this morning, but the court did
not hear their verdict, so that the judg
ment Of the jury WAS not given until the
convening Of court this morning.
At 8 o'clock the Jury filed into the
court room, and, after the preliminarif .
attending the opening. the court asked
il they had agreed upon . verdict. The
foreman of the jury. Charles w. Rumble,
answered that they had, and thereupon
handed Judge Stevens the verdict, and
he in turn, after reading same, handed it
to Clerk Haskell who read it aloud The
verdict returned was that the Jury had
found James L. jenkins guilty Of mur-
der in the second degree
This verdict was not surprise, and
there was very little stir in the court
room when the same was read. The
prisoner sat within the rail and not q
muscle Of his face moved, neither did he
change color or show any indications
whether he was pleased or displeased
with the verdict.
The penalty for murder in the second
degree is not less than ten years in the
penitentiary and it can be made life
sentence.
After remaining few minutes in the
court room Jenkins was taken back 10
jail where he will remain until called up
for sentence, and he will then be taken
to Canon City to serve the sentence i'm
posed upon him by Judge Stevens, what
ever it may be.

 Superintendent Tinker then stated that a photographer would like to procure picture of the board for exhibition in the Buffalo exhibition. The idea was favorable and Commis- sioner CoWell said he would suggest Friday for the picture to be taken as he would be out of town that day. Commissioner Mcdonald thought the members were getting publicity enough through the local press. An other member said that having ones picture in, the papers is the next step to having it in the rogues' gallery, and another one remarked that he would consent to any day providing that good western light could be had to light up Commissioner Cowell's s halo so that it would illumine Com missioner >Goodenough, who is not yet good enough to have a halo of his own. The clerk suggested that the best time to have ones picture taken is when he is en route to church. It was finally agreed to let the matter stand for the present until full meet ing of the board can be had.
 A petition from number of Italians for the employment of Professor D'Andra in the day school as received and ordered referred to the superin- tendent and the proper committee. The petition stated that there is a mutual discrepancy of national traits between American teachers and Italian pupils which makes it difti- cult for the one to understand the other.
 A petition from Mrs Mary Fox, ianitress of Washington school for So s a week on account of having two more rooms to take care of was re- ferred to the proper committee. She receives $14 month.
 The board then adjourned to the 17th.

K. OF c. FAIR.
Arrangements Under Way for the Big
 Union Undertaking.

Arrangements Under Way for the Big
 Union Undertaking.
 Considerable talk is heard nowadays of the coming union fair Of the hnlghts of Columbus, and it is easy to preulcC that the Knights are none too enthusi- astic when they declare that 1t IS gong to be the biggest thing of the kind ever undertaken in Waterbury And from the earnestness With which the joint committees have been laborlng, and the progress already reported m the prosecution of plans, there IS no fear of exaggeration in declaring that it will be one of the most enjoyable events that Waterbury has ever had
 The purpose of the fair, as had been told already, is to meet the expehse in- cident to furnishing the new headquar- ters of the local councils in the Platt block. This hall, which is one of the best equipped society meeting places in town, has been furnished at great expense, and it is intended to add to what has already been done by install- ing an elaborate paraphernalia for working the various degrees. Tn this respect 1t is hoped to make the hall one of the finest owned by the Knights of Columbus in any part of the United States. In order, therefore, to meet the heavy expense involved, this fair was projected, and it is the purpose to make it so attractive that an enormous patronage will result Some of the costliest articles ever offered for dis tribution will have the distinction of rendering genuine advantage to pur- chasers. The feature of contest be- tween local school principals. whereby the two principals who shall have re- ceived the highest number of votes be- for the closing of the fair will receive free passage to and from the Pan American exposition, is another one that is already awakening the friends of the principals and the children in the different schools of the district. Amusements of various kinds will be offered each evening, and these will be of number and variety sufficient to meet the requirements and desires or the most varied clientele.
 Enthusiasm is rife among the Knights, and one cannot meet one of them these days without becoming in- fected with a similar spirit That the fair is going to be an extraordinary success Is certain. The plans of the committees as they progress will be set forth in these columns from time to time in way to keep every one in formed concerning this big twentieth century undertaking
