BIG COTTONWOOD
WATER IN CITY
Flows Into Town for the First Time
in History.
RIPPLES IN THE BITCHES
AND THERE is NO LAWSUIT AS
THREATENED.

E OR the first time in history. so far
as the knowledge of man goes,
water from Big Cottonwood creek
was delivered in Salt Lake City yester-
day. The arrangements between the
city and the owners of the Big Cotton
wood water were in actual operation
and the day marked the first receipt
by the city of the benefits of the big
water Improvement plan.
The water reached the city through
the city canal and flowed through the
cutters during the day. The water was
clear as crystal, forming d marked
contrast TO the lake water which has
flowed through the cutters for years
past.
The water was taken into the city
canal from the Big Cottonwood flume
which crosses the canal below the
mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon. The
pumps at Utah lake were shut down a
few days aS9 and the water supply
thus lost is supplanted by the flow
from Big Cottonwood, which came
without pumping and. it may be added
for the benefit Of the knockers, without
a lawsuit
The city will continue to receive its
share of the Big Cottonwood water
without being required to supply Utah
lake water in exchange for il until the
irrigation season opens i'm the spring
At that time the pumps at the lake will
be started again.
Messrs. Knudsen and Bagley. owners
Of the mill and water right in Big Cot
tonwood canyon, were in consultation
with Mayor II. +. Morris, Consulting
Engineer \. Z. DOremus and Special
Counsel F. S. Richards yesterday after
noon. The question of selling the
Knudsen rights to the city was dis
cussed at length, but definite action
was postponed pending a visit of city
officials TO the canyon. This visit will
probably be made early next week.

self sufficiently. He said that il was
fully understood this year that an mill
tary laws and regulations were on the
books for the purpose Of maintaining dis
cipline and that there were no dead
letter.
The call for court martial, he said was
simply in pursuance OF the policy TO
make the National Guard of Utah a mill
tary organization on q strictly military
basis
1t is known that a few members OF
the guard who are under the ban of
the special order would gladly resign at
this time rather than face a trial by
courtmartial. One stated yesterday that
il given the chance" he would resign
from the guard, admitting that he had
disObeyed orders. and explaining that he
thought there would be no enforcement
He disliked the imminence of "dishonOr-
able discharge"
None of the twenty-three, however. so
far as can be learned, viii be allowed to
resign.
