to $3.50 per acre, and would sustain large
population. South Of the city as far as
Utah lake SO miles away, along the valley Of
the Jordan, crops are raised in good years,
but agriculture there Is always a venture.
The soil Is wonderfully fertile, however,
and the government project would make
it rich in every product of the farm.
There is but one question in connection
with the Utah lake project. It remains to
be seen whether the streams which supply
it can be relied upon, year after year, to
bring it up to this higher level of ten feet.
Data thus far collected by the geological
survey answer the question both ways. It
Is believed, however, that the final word
will be in favor of the project. If it
is not, Salt Lake City will suffer greatly,
for as has already been said, she seems
just now on the eve Of a period of ire
mendous development. An insufficient
water supply in the city would prevent it
from Undertaking.. The future Of the city
will hinge jointly on agriculture and min
ing. The new road which Senator Clark
Is building from here to San Pedro, the
new ocean port below Los Angeles, will
open up to it mines of great wealth. They
are so rich that prospectors hesitate to
make estimates. Iron, gold, silver, copper,
coal-everything, in fact, needed to make
Salt Lake City a manufacturing city of the
first Importance, are to be found In the
most prodigal profusion along this new
line. The surface Of the soil has only been
scratched thus far. The new railway will
pour the treasures Of this region into the
lap Of the Utah capital, and give it a po-
sition Of first grade among the cities of
the country. west of the Mississippi. 1t

were out in citizens clothes, and followed
the scrimmage. Harris also was on the

The surprise Of the day was the work
OF Hjelland. who until last night has been
playing on the third team, and has not
done particularly brilliant work. Last
night, however, Hjelland tore up the var
sity line repeatedly, breaking thru both
Kicker and Big Smith time and again.
The scrubs scored a touchdown on the
varsity, a tumble by Rogers giving the
second team the bail within easy striking
distance of the goal line. The varsity
linemen, except Big Smith and Pattee,
played too high. Rogers and Marshall
were both inclined to loaf. The scrubs
played harder than usual. Hunter at
left end did splendid work on the de-
fensive, and the varsity backs were un-
able to gain around him. Russell gave
Pattee a hard game, and Oech at tackle
kept Burdick hustling all the time. Kre-
mer also played harder than usual.
Kicker and Hjelland exchanged places
toward the end Of the practice, and Kicker
did better work on the scrubs than on
the varsity O'Brien played well at quar-
ter. and the rest Of the backs did we'll,

Chicago, Sept. 22.-'I shall most GER

him, regardless of the ultimatum issued
by President Liginger of the A. A. IT,"
said Coach A. A. Stagg Of the University
OF Chicago. In making this statement
Coach Stage leaves no doubt as to the
issue between the A. A. II. and the con-
ference colleges and makes it plain that
the struggle which has long been pend

up for definite settlement
THE A. A. U. has business with this
affair continued the midway coach
The A. A. U. is not making rules for
the conference colleges, and has nothing
TO do with the control of college athletics
All that we are concerned in knowing is
whether Eckersall Is eligible under the
college rules. SO long AS he is eligible
we shall use him, no matter what Presi-
dent Ligtner threatens, and we shall not
wait for some board In New York to act
before using him, either. do not want a
quarrel with the A. A. U. and Il do not
want to take position that appears
sassy but there is no question as to our
rights"

WATER A MAGICIAN
If Supplied by Uncle Sam It Will
Make Salt Lake City a Great
Metropolis.
Utah Lake Project Now Being Care
fully Considered by Federal
Irrigation Authorities.
From, a Staff Correspondent.

correspondent
Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 21.-The
Mormons are not progressive agricultur-
lists Cooperation has blunted their ambi-
ton. There is no incentive to individual
effort. The average member Of the
church, which has its strength in the rural
communities, ehas ten or twenty acres Of
land. He raises enough to support Him
self and family, and that Is as far as am
bition carries him. If arguments were
needed against cooperation and in favor
of individualism, they could be found
abundantly in Utah and in Colorado, re-
spectively. If the same spirit of progress
inspired the people Of Utah as is found
everywhere in Colorado, the state would
have wealth and prosperity far in advance
of what she now. possesses.
At present about 100000 acres of land
are being irrigated in Utah, and experts
say that this can be increased to $500, 900
or 100000 acres, with a full development
Of all irrigation projects. The size Of the
average holding in Utah is less than thirty
acres It is about twice that amount in
Colorado, and forty times that amount in
Wyoming, this last being due to the fact
that Wyoming is a grazing state.
Thus far the national government has
not selected any irrigation projects in
Utah, but it is now at work, thru experts
of the geological survey, making investi-
cations of the water supply at Utah lake,
"
legislature and governor Of Utah have
joined in a request that the national gov
eminent construct a dam across the Jor-
dan river, near it's outlet from Utah lake.
This dam would raise the water of the
lake ten feet, and furnish irrigation for
$4,000 acres in the Salt Lake valley, west
and south Of Salt Lake City. It would at
the same time permit the city to monopo-
liZe for it's water supply the several
streams flowing down from the Wasatch
mountains streams which it must now
divide with the farmers Of the foot hills.
AS the result Of Investigations now being
made 1t Is expected that the government
will recommend the Utah lake project in
the near future, perhaps next year.
The problem Of water supply in the city
Of Salt Lake is a serious one, and unless
1t can be solved soon the city's develop
ment will be sadly interfered with, and
that at moment when it seems to be
entering its most wonderful period Of
growth. The city at present uses its water
supply to the full limit, and 50 serious is
the situation that lawns and gardens are
only allowed water from the mains one
hour each day. An addition OF 10000 to the
population would, in a dry season, almost
bring on a water famine. The Utah lake
project therefore, is essential to Salt Lake
City.

HARVARD LOOKS BETTER
Prospects OF the Crimson Eleven Growing
Brl9hter.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 22.-Things
looked better with the Harvard football
squadron on Soldiers field yesterday
There were two sessions again and con-
siderable work was done. The squad Of
ffty-seven was divided into three di-
visions In the morning, each division had
turn at tackling the dummy for the
first time this year and much time was
given to signal practice in the afternoon.
In the afternoon the ends went down un-
der punts for the first time, but did not
tackle the catchers. 1t was expected that
a crimmage would be held between the
first and second elevens in the afternoon,
but on account Of the hot weather it was
postponed until to-day.
There was important change in the
first eleven. Jack Parkinson, center on
last years freshman eleven, went in at
right tackle. He Is fast, strong man,
built close to the ground. and he is excel
lent material for squad. He looks like
the most likely new man on the varsity
squad. Several men returned yesterday
who are expected to do things. Clothier,
Bowdoth's substitute at right end last
year, came out in the morning and did
