has the city ever failed 10 furnish the
farmers with their proportion OF water
and has the stream ever been taken
possession Of by them for such failure2"
The question was at once objected to
by plaintiffs attorneys. In explanation
of the object OF the question City Atty.
Nye stated that he expected TO show
that the water has been turned down
and that nothing like the quantity
which was due the farmers under the
agreement ever reached them; that
something like six-sevenths Of the
stream never reached the farmers for
irrigation purposes and that they
didn't get an amount Of water when
they turned the creek down equal To
that which the city was giving them
from the canal and springs
Judge Morse held tsat the question
was proper and oyerruled the objection.
In response Mr.. Smoot stated that he
couldn't remember the date. but once
since the contract was entered into the
farmers took possession Of the stream
during an entire irrigation season and
no water ever reached them at all, He
said that none Of the water reached his
farm at all II went as far as the

SELECTING THE ROUTE.
Two Parties of Mofat Surveyors
Near Heber and Park City,

During the past week a couple Of
mysterious surveying parties have
been encountered, one az Parley's lark,
near Kimball's and the other In the
kemas prairie region northwest OF He
Der city. Both parties are not driving
any stakes, but appear TO be looking
over the lay Of the country. Both en-
tered the STATE from the east and both
have traversed the Indian reservation.
While the men are saying nothing il
Is understood that they are in the en-
ploy OF the Moffat road and are looking
for an entry into Salt Lake valley Via
the headwaters of the Duchesne and
Provo rivers and across TO Emigration
canyon and down the old Wilkes sur
Wy into the southeastern corner OF the
city.
Local engineers are the authority snr
the statement that should the Denver
Northwestern elect TO come into Salt
Lake by way Of Emigration canyon
that there VII be some bad grades en-
couniered which are not usually asso-
caied with the main line OF a trans
continental road. 1t is thought that
Moffat viii eventually decide upon
coming into Salt Lake valley Via the
Jordan narrOws providing the Rio
Grande and the San Pedro leave
enough room.

Whether or not the Elks Will ever

RAY SIMMONS DEAD.
Well Known Young Nan Succumbs to
Attack Of Brights Disease.

After suffering for six months past
the awful tortures of Brights disease
OF the kidneys, Ray Dye Simmons. a
well known and popular young man Of
this city, passed away yesterday, His
death was not unexpected, but II came
as a great shock to his relatives and
many friends
The young man was the son Of Jo.
segh f. and Alice Eliza Dye Simmons.
He was born In this city Sept "a. 1879,
and for most OF the time after finishing
his schooling he was employed as a
salesman for n. X. Thomas He was
married az the age Of 10 10 Jessie Tay-
lor the daughter Of Or. j. +. Taylor
Of the Eleventh ward. He leaves his
wife and two-year-old child.
In character Ray Simmons was a
most exemplary young man Although
he was married at what seemed an
early age, he was far beyond his years
In all the qualities OF manliness Those
who attended him during his suffer-
ing, say that his patience was almost
divine, never a murmur OF protest es-
Gaping his lips. His circle OF &C.
quaintances was very large.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon AT o'clock from the Twen-
tieth ward meeting house.

current expenses OF the year the levy
should be- made one half OF mill
higher. hut the council refused TO make
higher rate and II was the general
opinion that any deficit could be met by
the sale OF city property,
Az the time the estimate Of expenses
for the current year was made Mr..
Relser says the appropriation to the
Elks was not even thought Of, The
question then arises. he AYERS. that II
the levy as fixed would not meet the
ordinary expenses as already estimat-
ed how could the appropriation OF 81
600 additional be met out OF the general
expense fund?
Another question which will arise, he
says. u.s. viii the council be justified In
selling city property Just merely to
meet that appropriation?
II VIII be clearly seen. continues Mr..
Reiser, that the question will have to
be considered thoroughly by the audi
tor, for the reason that the fixed ex-
penscs of the city, such as salaries.
bond interest, etc, must be held In
reserve and would necessarily take
precedence over such unusual expenses
as the one under consideration,
