stated that he is anxious to get tho

California and for this reason alone is
willing to take the Monat road into

At present only a reconnaissance has
been made by the engineers. a trip
was made in a wagon over each OF the
proposed routes. following previous sur
veys. While the engineers, now in the
city. are not telling anything and are
even seeking TO keep their presence un-
known. there is reason TO believe that
the preliminary work has indicated the
Provo route to be more desirable than
the one going via Heber and Park City.
From both an engineering and & traffic
standpoint. the latter route is said TO
be preferable

IRRIGATOR TAKES ISSUE
Contends That THE Man Who
Knows" Has MisappIied
the Facts.

Provo. Sept. 21.-The article on irriga-
ton in tOday's Herald under the head
line, Now Comes the Man Who Knows"
woke up Judge John B. Miner of this
city. who has had fifty years experience
as practical iTFigatoT. The Judge says
that the scientific facts stated By the
man who knows are correct. but his
conclusions are wrong. because he has
misapplied the facts; that while Babylon
may have fallel by the alkalization Of
MesoDotamia. Utah is going to rise be-
cause its citizens have learned by prac-
teal experience how to overcome the
dangers of alkaizatiOn of which the
man who knows speaks.
Judge Miner refers to several tracts
Of land both i'm Utah and Arizona which
he has redeemed from aIkalization and
the newspaper article in question so
worked up his cOmba tiveness and public
spiritedness that he today bought out a
co-Owner in twenty-five acres of land
near Geneva which is now an alkaH bed
and which. although the Judge lis over
20 years OF age. he-eEpects TO live to see
converted into a fruitful farm by means
Of irrigation, thus getting the laugh on
the eastern scientist and demonstrate ting
that intelligent. practical irrigation is not
a failure, whatever academic Irrigation
may be. --. =
