water supply, each land owner agree
ing TO pay his pro rata share.
Mr.. Newell was asked how the law
could be made operative where there is
litigation between counties and between
canals i'm different counties. such as
has troubled Utah and Salt Lake coun-
ties. He said the general, rule would
apply-no scheme would be reported
fsvorably under such conditions; the
land owners and canal owners would
have TO make a personal agreement
settling their differences and assuming
the pro rata cost of improvements be-
fore the reclamation survey would re-
port on the reservoir project .favorably.
Over S., 1000, 900 Available.
Mr.. Newell said the government had
between $4,000. GOO and 5000. 900 avail
able now for irrigation purposes from
the sale of public lands. The law was
not mandatory as to the states in
which the money from public land sales
should be spent, but il indicates the
expenditure of a majority of the money
in the states from which il is received.
For example, il was intended to have
at least 81 per cent of the money re-
ceived from Utah land sales spent in
Utah, but the secretary of the interior
IS given discretion in the matter. If
IL was thought best to bunch the
year. that would be done. But an
effort would be made to have the ex-
penditures distributed so that at the
end of, say ten years, they would show
as the law suggests majority expendi-
lures in the state from which the reve-
nue. was derived. No interest charge
would be asked on money expended
the principal only to be paid back to
the government
A number of minor questions were
answered, after which the gathering
, broke up into a social group. Mr.. New
ellis talk was regarded as most val
liable contribution to the discussion of
irrigation. 1t is probable the canal
presidents and others interested in the
irrigation problem in this county will
get together within a few days to dis
, cuss the best way of meeting the sug-
gestions Mr.. Newell made in his talk
last evening. Whether il is possible
to harmonic all the clashing interests
in and about Utah lake is not known,
but the situation is so serious that 1t
is thought worth the effort. Owners
of land around Utah lake will be asked
TO take part in any conference for final
action. Mr.. Newell's present idea is
that the east SIDE of Utah lake can be
diked so as 10 reclaim large area of
swamp land now of little value, so
that Utah county would be a gamer
| by the reservoir.

Vile yesterday, James Mckinney
ran amuck and initiated his pro-
ceedings by shooting out the lights of
a saloon, and tried TO shoot the cards
out OF the hands of man in a card
game. That he only wounded the man
was due to his poor marksmanship,
and not to his criminal intentions. He
then proceeded to a livery stable and
demanded a rig. As his argument was
backed by a six-shqoter- the. rig was
soon forthcoming. A constable a dep

arrest Mckinney, but he opened up
on them, and four of them were more
or less seriously wounded The crimi-
