Big Cottonwood water into the city
was revived, the owners demand $780,

Reach Out for More Water.

Other owners Of water rights on Big
Cottonwood creek. as well as on Little
Cottonwood creek and ON Mil creek
have signiiied their willingness To rN-
change with the city. but up to this
time no agreement has been reached
as 10 the basis Of exchange and no
money has been paid for options. 1t
is usually the case that the owners
who are highest up on each ditch, anG
get first chance at the water as II
comes down. insist that there IS plenty
of mountain water for irTigating pur-
poses, ana that 10 additional water is
needed ia exchange while the owners
near the lower end of each ditch claim
that they are always short of water
and want additional water rather than
bonus. The principal difficulty in ne
gotiating for exchange OF water rights
is 10 get the owners TO agree among
themselves as To the proper basis for
exchange. and progress in this direc-
tiOn is slow.
The purchase of the shares in the
East Jordan canal will enable the city

Great Plague a Norfolk
The win cities of Norfolk and
portsmouth, Va, suffered an epidem-
ic of yellow fever in the summer OF
1855 which caused 4,6o2 deaths and
almost depopulated the two cities.
Sa great was the fear of the dis
ease that people deserted relatives
who were lying at the point of death
and fled to the North. Physicians
left their patients and joined in the
flight.
All communication with other cities
was severed and the fugitives made
Their way afoot For many days cof-
fins were not procurable and there
were barely enough persone remaining
to bury the dead.
Butchers and all persons working
about slaughter houses, garbage
cleaners and men engaged in all sorts
of uncleanly work, and the grave dig
gers enjoyed an almost universal i'm
munity from the disease and of 65
men engaged in conveying bodies to
cemeteries and in excavating graves
+, but one contracted the yellow fever
and the case was not fatal.

Since the year 1873, when yellow
fever invaded 1872 cities and towns Of
the Southern States and caused 49,
o34 deaths within the space of five
months the United States has been
comparatively freed of the disease.
New Orleans, Mobile and other gulf
coast ports have suffered from the
ravages of the plague at different
periods since, but the number of
deaths has never been large.
Five years after the signing of the
declaration Of independence, almost
to the month, yellow fever made its
first appearance in the United States
at Boston.
Old pamphleteers say that the dis
ease was brought from Africa with
shipload of negroes. They based
their conclusion on the fact that FIVE
days after the landing of a sailing
vessel early in July, 1880. viruienr
type of yellow fever, then known un-
der the Spanish name of negro vom-
ito" or the black vomit, made its
appearance in the home of long
shoreman near the wharf
During the summer more than 400
deaths occurred in Boston, but the
disease disappeared with the coming
of winter.
Diseases Origin in Africa
AS early as that time the physi-
clans located the home of the disease
in that portion of the East African
coast lying south of the port of St.
Louis, Africa Since then it has prac-
.ticaIly been decided that the malady
originated that part of the world.
The small percentage of fatalities
among members Of the negro race is
believed to substantiate the theory
that the disease had its origin IN AZ
rica and that through centuries Of
combat with the malady the negroid
blood, if not immune, at least offers
q resistance not found in the blood
Of white man.

In Near Future.

= Washington. May 29.-Japanese coll

a wealthy Japanese agriculturist. who
recently visited the United states. ac-
cording to a report submitted to the
department OF commerce and labor by
Fred ID. Fisher. the American consul
at Tansui. Formosa, who based his an
nouncement upon recent publications
in Japanese papers. The report says
that 1000 farmers are TO be collected
in Japan. and that as a first undertake
ing $500 acres will be cultivated In
Texas. Mr.. Fisher has forwarded the
department an interview with the Jap
anese gentleman in which the statement
was made that farming was the only
enterprise that can profitably be UNDER
taken in America by the Japanese. He
SAYS he intends to invest upwards of
ss5aSOO the first year in breaking lands
andSbther expenses. The colony is to
locate on lands rich in soil. but until
recently used for grazing.
