UTAH WANTS A MILLION DOLLARS
THROUGH THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL

The committee appointed by the
board of canal presidents last Monday
to memorable congress for an appro-
priation to aid in the undertaking of
making Utah lake serviceable as a
reservoir for the Salt Lake valley ca
nails to the highest degree, intends to
lose no time in performing the duty as
signed to it. The committee Of five met
yesterday afternoon in the Office of An
gus NJ. Cannon and organized by choos-
ing Mr.. Cannon as president and State
Engineer A. T. DOremus as secretary.
The other members of the committee
present were County Commissioner
James II. Anderson and Mayor Thomp-
son. John Henry Smith was absent
and City Engineer Kelsey was present
by invitation.
The plan proposed is to raise the level
Of Utah lake two feet above compro-
mise point by buying the lands which
would be flooded by holding back the
outflow at flood time and during sea-
sons when the water is not needed for
irrigation. and to straighten the river
channel and dredge the bars at the
outlet so as to permit drawing off more
water than is now possible in seasons
of greatest scarcity. The scheme is not
a new one, but of its utility to the canal
interests in Salt Lake valley there is
only one opinion among experts. All
agree that it would make possible the
solution of the water problems which
continually harass not only the farm
ers in this valley but the municipality.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-11-30

To carry out the reservoiring plans
will cost probably 81 900 600, but the
committee viii petition congress,
through Utah's senator's and repre-
sentatlves, for an appropriation of this
sum when the subject is under consid-
Grafton Of allOtting money for the re-
ciamation of arid lands and for i'm
prOVement Of rivers and harbors. Utah
has no need Of asking for a share in
the periodical appropriations for bet
terment OF harbOrs and navigable riv-
ers, for it has none. but it can use to
mighty good advantage the benefits OF
several hundred thousand dollars for
making Utah lake the reservoir which
it ought to be.
1t was the consensus OF opinion at the
meeting that while it would be a little
too much to expect of congress to ap-
prOpriate all Of the amount desired for
the lake Improvements at the coming
session. it is regarded as likely that an
appreciate part Of the 1000 600 Will be
forthcoming within the coming year
and more at d later session Of con-
gress.
It was voted that $4,000 would be
necessary to secure sufficient engineer
ing data TO go with the petition. and
the various canal companies will be
requested to subscribe their pro rata
Of this sum, or so much as may be
needed. The presidents Of the four ca
mails and the city engineer, represent
ing the city canal viii meet today 70
act upon the request for funds to meet
the expense Of properly framing the
petition for presentation to congress.

The Bee Hive house had been the

during the incumbency Of the pres-
dency of the church by her husband,
and during that time she presided
over the household with rare grace and
tact. It was thought by many that
she would still continue to live in the
historic old house, but her removal
yesterday settled that point. 1t is now
understood that President Joseph T.
Smith and his family will take pos
session of the house, but just when no
one seems to know.

Saturday night for drunkenness, were

the point of proving the girls are vic

ton. She was II last July. Attorney

TRIAL OF ROY KAlGHN
Haynes DisincIined to Prosecute,
But the Case Will be
Pushed.

The county attorney had decided to
push ahead with the prosecution of
young Roy Kaighn, who shot w S.
Haynes, at the Knutsford, Tuesday,
regardless of whether the wounded
man viii assist them, and in pursu-
ance of that determination new COM
plant was filed before Judge Diehl
yesterday, charging Kaighn with as
sault with a deadly weapon With in
tent to commit murder. The complaint
was sworn to by Acting Sergeant John
Hempel, and the prisoner viii prob
ably be arraigned upon that charge
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, instead
of being given a hearing upon the first
charge, which was that of assault with
a deadly weapon with intent to do bod
lily harm. The first charge win be
dismissed, and if the defendant
is ready his preliminary hearing on
the new charge will take place Mon
day morning.
Assistant County Attorney Loot
borrow stated yesterday that Haynes
did not seem inclined to give them any
assistance in the matter of prosecu-
ton, and that they had determined TO
go ahead with the matter regardless
OF MN. II is a matter, said Mr..
LOOfbOurOW, ''in which the public as
well as the person wounded is inter-
ested in having the guilty party pun
ished, and if the wounded man does
not care to assist in the prosecution by
throwing any light on the matter then
the state owes it to the public to
prosecute the case anyhow, and we in
tend to do so. Colonel Kaighn is al
lowed to see Haynes and we are not,
but we intend to go on with the prose-
cutiOn whether we can see him or not
10 get his side of the affair."
Haynes physicians stated yesterday
that the chances of the patient for re-
cOYery were still very encouraging, and
they feel that unless some Unforeseen
turn for the worse comes that he will
pull through all right
Young Kaighn, when told yester-
day that the charge had been changed
to that of attempted murder, said that
he had expected that it would be
changed, but further than this he had
nothing to say. He still refuses to
make any statement whatever about
the causes that led up to the shooting
He inquired about the condition of Mr.
Haynes, and said that he was glad to
hear that he was recovering.

INCREASE IN
SALT PRODUCT
Census Report on Industry in
United States.
NUMBER OF PLANTS LESS
k-
OWING TO THE CONSTRUCTION
OF LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS.
NUMBER OF PLANTS LESS

Washington, Nov. 29.-The census bU-
reaU has issued a final report on the
manufacture of salt during the calen-
dar year 1899. 1t shows a total capital
of S27,123,364 invested in the 159 salt
establishments reported. The value of
the product is $7,966.S 97, to produce
hich involves an outlay of $499. 74S
for salaries Of officials. clerks. etc;
Sb9l1,140 for wages, $760.539 for misceI-
laneoUs expenses, including rent and
taxes, and $3,335.952 for materials used,
mill supplies, freight and fuel.
The production of salt in the United
States has increased continually since
1856. From 1850 to 1900 the capital in
creased from S2,640,SS5 to $27, 123, 364,
while the value of the products in
creased from 81, 222,745 TO 81, 1896, 967. The
number of establishments has de-
creased from 399 in 1860 to 159 in 1900,
a decrease of 500 per cent During
the last twenty years the capital has
increased 229.T per cent, products So
per cent, while the number of estab-
lishments decreased 40.7 per cent.
The decrease in the number of es-
adjustments is due to the abandonment
OF many small plants along the At
lantic coast and in some of the in
terror districts where salt was manu-
featured from brine spTinklings, also
TO the construction of large establish
ments, particularly IN New York, Ohio,
Michigan, Kansas, Utah and Cali
fOrnia
From 1890 to 1899 the number Of es-
adjustments decreased POS per cent.
The capital increased 1918 per cent;
the Greatest gain being in the item of
live capital which increased from
S2,l90,201 to $5,747,465 or 1924 pei. cent
The cost of materials increased So
per cent.
