Is Trembling
In the Balance
Failure ofNorh Jordan Irrigation Company Directors TO
Agree MIN Other Canal Directors May Defeat
Greatest Irrigation Project in the Vest

The fate Of the great Utah Lake re-
seryolr scheme appears to be hanging
in the balance, and the one vital ques-
ton that is agitating business men
and lrrigationists In this section just
now Is, shall It succeed or failY OF
course, the hope IS that success instead
Of failure shall be recorded The cause
for the endangeripg Of the big enter
prise is the failure of the North Jor-
dan Canal company directors to see eye
to eye with the directors of the other
canals in this county. The whole
problem was discussed at length IN all
OF It's phases at the meeting IN the
Commercial club rooms on Saturday, az
which time the directors Of the Utah
& Salt Lake Canal company, Of the
East Jordan Irrigation company, the
South Jordan Canal company and the
North Jordan Canal company, were
present. The meeting was for the pur-
pose OF determining whether the canal
interests of this county should be con-
solidated on not, In this connection
Il viii be interesting and instructive TO
natrate briefly the history Of the pro-
ject
When the national irrigation law was
passed, the people OF Utah naturally
desired to avail themselves Of the bene-
fits Of It's provisions Accordingly the
State Irrigation congress took the mat
ter up and. considered Il In all OF It's
diversified phases, and finally resolved
that the Utah Lake scheme offered
greater returns than any other. I'M
der this action 1t required that the diff
ferences between all concerned should
be settled and defined The commits
tee Of the Commercial club, which had
the matter in charge recommended
consolidation, and meetings Of the dl-
rectors Of the various canals were
called an3 each company appointed

did others 10 whose hearts the project
Is very dear that ii would result in
failure so far as consolidation was con-
oerned and worst Of all, II would kill

impossible TO interest the government

troler Of the Delaware & Hudson com

sci the witness SAN he got his nfor-
nation about the lost time from the
foremen Of the mines.
Mr.. Darrow asked the witness If the

piled that It had and that so far as he

said the company was selling

for prepared sizes The company sells
II to what he termed middlemen. He
had no Information as to what prices the

yond what the newspapers are publish
