A Night in the Forest.

The officers of the Camp and Circ'e
entertained the members and few
other invited guests Wednesday night
at Woodmen Hall. Our limited space
will not admit of extended notice of the
excellent program. The vocal and in
strumental music, the select readings
and the various other features ran ked
better than just common. The Dutch
version of Barbara Frietchie' by l..
NJ. Starr and bit of heavy tragedy by
Mrs. j. r. Want we're perhaps the most
effective numbers on the program.
There was the usual abundance of
choice refreshments. The good time
ended soon after midnight with the IA
miliar closing ode, 'Bingo." 1t was the
unanimous opinion that the hall decor
ations surpassed all previous efforts in
that line.

bones were splintered, making a very

highly enjoyable. The leading feature
was a sample session of the Corps, for
the benefit of the veterans aud other
invited guests, 1t beat anything since
the deluge, closing with that grand
old patriotic song about three blind
mice that chased the farmers wife and
got separated from their caudal appen-
dages. Mrs. j. f. Stewart furnished
excellent instrumental selections, Miss
Mamie Wakefield recited a catchy little
poem and several of the veterans and
Department President Rose NJ. Schenck
speechified eloquently and entertain
ingly. The latter explained that the
small admission fee charged was to
Fswell the Roseburg Cottage Fund. 1t
is proposed by the w. r. G. of Oregon
TO build a number Of cottages at Rose
bnrg, near the Soldiers Home, for the
wives OF dependent veterans. Each
member OF the Corps contributed dol.

how she earned it. Some of the ex.
plantations contained more truth thar
poetry and were decidedly amusing
Some of the members earned the
money by honest toll, while others con
fessed they stole it. The effort in
creased the fund to the extent of $25.

This, IL viii be observed. apparently

FIRST. Careful examination may dis

Second. Notwithstanding the Satisfa g
tory showing which appears from City
Chemist Harms analysis of this water,
as to its present condition. il is question
able whether the purity shown csn be

Should IL be finally decided that the
purchase of Spring creek water is not de-
desirable as removing all doubt of the
city's ability 10 furnish the exchange
water required under the contracts.
II. for any reason. Spring creek water
is not purchased. immediate provision
should be made for securing at least an
equivalent quantity of exchange water
from Utah lake. and. at the same time.
for perfecting the city's rights in this
important source OF supply.
This can be fully accomplished by the
expenditure OF the S215.0OO named in the
estimates for the purchase and pumping

Engineer KeIseE's opinion.


mill Creek water is very hard. the
I total hardness exceeding thai Of Emigra-
ton Creek water. which is the hardest
now being used in the city. VERY hard
water. such as this is Objectionable on
account of the annoyance and expense
TO water consumers and its injurious eff
feet on their health.
The analysis shows that the water
contains considerable chlorine and am
monia for mountain streams. The quail
ity of the water could be greatly i'm
proved by keeping the sheep out of the
canyon and cleaning out the springs and
creek channel.
The water is very cool and very clear
except during The flood season, then 1T
carries considerable sediment. II the
stock were kept out of the canyon. the
ground would soon be covered with Il
growth of brush and grass. which would
reduce the amount of earth washed into
the creek by rains and melting snow.
The banks of the creek should also be
protected from washing.
The above Investigations also show:
That of the lana covered by primary
rights 10 Mil Greek water. about 81 per
cent lies below the present city canal
and an additional j. per cent lies below
the level Of the highest gravity canal
obtainable from the Jordan river.
BY exchanging water from the high
line canal for irrigation purposes, it is
possible therefore. to secure ultimately
81 per cent of the Mill Creek water with
the prospect Of leasing the remainder.
At this time an exchange may be made
with the lands under our present canal.
If this is dors il will be necessary TO
supply AS acres with irrigation water
from the canal for which the city will
receive in exchange during the summer
months an average daily supply from the
creek of 5.096.790 gallons
As soon as the proposed exchanges for
Big Cottonwood water have been ef
fected ii is recommended that the work
be extended 10 include Mill Greek water
also
The expense of a pipe line for convey
ing the Mill Greek water would be small,
as il is conveniently located near the
proposed Big Cottonwood conduit and can
be connected with It at small expense.

WATER FROM UTAH LAKE
FOR TRADING PURPOSES

bnder existing conditions il is estimated
that an average supply Of 90 second feet
during the irrigation season may ne relied
upon from Utah lake OF this Salt Lake
City owns One-fifth amOuslting 80 eighty
second feet. which can be carried in our
present canal
Making liberal allowances for losses by
evaporation and seepage il IS safe to
say that this supply. supplemented by the
temporary use OF Spring creek water will
be abundant for all exchange purposes.
until an additional supply OF canal water
can be obtained from Utah lake ana then
the Spring creek water can be piped into
the city.
The water from the drive wells and
springs belonging to the city at the
southeast corner OF Liberty mark may
also be utilized for exchange purposes.
Additional water for exchange purposes
may be secured as soon a. the improve
ments now contemplated by the federal
government at Utah lake have been com
pleted When this is done. there viii be
allotted TO the city ample canal water.
not only to increase the supply from Big
Cottonwood under the proposed high line
canal. but also 10 exchange for 10th Lit
Tie Cottonwood and Mill creeks and the
plan TO be adopted ny the city should be
such that there will be reserved out Of
whatever resources Salt Lake City may
have for the purpose Of procuring water
sufficient find TO insure the possession
and control Of an increased supply from
the lake.

BIG COTTONWOOD CONDUIT
kND WHAT 1T WILL COST

The Big Cottonwood conduit should be
permanently constructed and of sufficient
capacity 10 carry all the water it is III
umateiy intended 10 obtain from that
stream and from Mill Creek and Little
Cottonwood Greek. A preliminary lOca-
ton and an estimate of cost has been
made for the highest conduit obtainable
al reasonable expense This will begin
Immediately under the tan race of the
lowest power station of tae two present
Utah Light & Railway company's power
stations on Big Cottonwood creek. and
VIII deliver water al the mouth of Par
ley's canyon, approximately 1876 feet above
the present intake Of the Pariey's can
NOn conduit
/; It is intended TO unite this water for
power purposes with that obtainable
lIrOm Parley's Creek.
The estimated cost of the conduit in
Guiding right of way. gradins. bridging,
cement concrete conduit. dams. intakes.
air valves, manholes, etc, complete is
$3.50 COO
From additional surveys and estimates
made this year the above conduit IS only
a little more expensive than the lowest
one which can be built at an elevation
nigh enough 10 connect with and dis
II constructed. il will be necessary 10
purchase the power right of the Old
Granite paper min situated at the mouth
of Big Cottonwood canyon.
The purchase Of this right will be more
Iithan compensated for by enabling the
city to own its own power station at the
mouth of Parleys canyon.
Ii should be noted that the carrying
capacity of the present Parley's canyon
conduit is about 20.000009 gallons per day
and that the amount of water 10 be used
for power purposes is TO he limited TO
that amount.
The present Parleys canyon conduit
will therefore be utilized TO its full ca
pacity bringing water from the tail race
of the proposed Farley : canyon power
station into the present distributing. sys-
tenn of the city without additional eX-
pense.
The Big Cottonwood high line will de-
liver the water at Parley's canyon at an
elevation of 4,94S feet and all the water
I'm excess Of the amount required for
power purposes can be brought into the
city without any unnecessary fall, at an
elevation of about 4.SI5 feet.
When completed. this viii supply water
to all that portion Of the city on the
east and north benches lying below the
g. 500 foot contour. which is 21l feet above
the Thirteenth Est street reservoir ana
124 feet above the Capitol hill reservoir.
