ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The anniversary OF the birth OF Abra-
ham Lincoln Is gratefully remembered
By Americans everywhere today. and
especially is his lifes work placed be-.
fore the children OF che American
schools. And this Is eniInently proper
AS long as the Union OF American
states lasts; as long as their flag loats
before the breeze. the name Of Lincoln
must be remembered, and his memory
honored. Columbus was inspired TO
seek and to ind this vast continent,
Washington was called upon TO lay the
foundations here for the nome OF hu-
man liberty and rights TO Lincoln the
special mission was given 20 preserve
this home from destruction that surely
would have overtaken II, had It be-
come divided against itself He per-
formed his LIES work, fearlessly kind
ly, and faithfully, though death be-
came his earthly reward for his SER
Vices 10 the people. The history OF such
men as Lincoln Is indeed precious to
the nation. and to mankind. It fur
nishes inspiration to the youth to
choose the paths Of honor and rectitude,
and to continue faithfully In these, not
withstanding opposition, and difficult
lies, awaiting patiently the verdict Of
the future as to the real value OF the
work done. Such inspiration Is needed
for there is stIll great mission before
the American patriots. Before this Is
fulfilled, many Washington, many a
Lincoln II still needed to live and die
for the great principles upon which
American government Is founded.

RECLAMATION BY WATER.

Our readers were prepared from what
We have already published, for the de-
velopment OF the great plans devised
for an efficient water supply In north
ern and central Utah, presented In the
statement which appears In this Issue
Of the News" an foreshadowed In our
columns on Thursday evening, Some
particulars OF this grand project have
been given to the public, but now they
appear In connected and detailed form,
and will bo received with universal sat
isfactlon.
Summed up, the propositions are; To
carry out the Utah lake measure &C.
cording to the proposals already made.
To feed the lake with water from the
Duchesne river and It's tributaries and
branches, conserved by a reservoir In
Strawberry valleyand conveyed though
Spanish Fork, and also carry portions
Of the flow southwesterly 10 irrIgate
arid tracts in Utah county, and north
erly to enter and Irrlgate areas in the
higher western part of Salt Lake coun-
~. To store and utilize in the best
practical manner the waters OF the
Provo. Weber and Ogden rivers, ana
make channels for their proper dIstrI-
button, To convert Bear Lake into
reservoir for all the streams In Bear
Lake valley and Increase the volume
of Bear river; also to utilize the sur.
plus waters Of the Blackfoot branch OF
the Snake river for that purpose, and
for the benefit Of the basins on the way
from storages 10 the Bear Further, to
construct a channel from the latter
along the west side Of Cache valley and
probably on to Malad valley. TO divert
portion OF the Bear from point
where 1t enters Salt Lake valley By
canal southwark along the base OF the
Wasatch mountains IN this valley, 10
connect with the canal from Spanish
Fork northward, and thus provide lr.

When Grace reached this age her father

this interest for ten years and then stopped.
He refused to pay either interest or prin-

To Grow Cotton in German Colonies

The present fluctuations of the American
cotton markets produce a condition of
agonizing uncertainty in the calcula tions or
the manufacturers in all textile districts OF
Germany in which cotton forms a Wit ii part
of the requisite raw material, says United
States Consul Muench, at Plauen, Ger
many. in a report to the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. The consul states
that interest is growing in all efforts to
bring about the emancipation Of the Euro
pean market from it's dependence upon the
American cotton fields, and the govern
ment aid s being sought to establish and
develop new cotton-growing districts in the
colonies of the empire Mr. Muench says
that 1t has been urged that The creation or
new cotton-growing districts Is today the
sole means of breaking the bondage in
which the United States is alleged to hold
the cotton industries of Europe, and will
be far more effective than the waging Of
tariff war.
