shea II Ctah-is locates re picturesque
Strawberry valley. 80 miles east of Pay
son. Tile streams lowing into thu
valley make their exit through deep
gulch on the east side and from th0ice
find their way into the Green river.
Years ago the idea was conceived OF
putting a dam across this gulch, con-
vertlng the w Hey into great reser-

It was fond 10 be impracticable be-
cause 81 the high. unbroken mountain
surrounding the weT side.
Three years ago, state Senator Henry
Gardner conceived the idea OF tunnelins
through the mountain. Surveys were
accordingly made and II was found that
by digging a tunnel three and half
miles long the valley could be tapped
on the west side. Work was begun by
a company Of private citizens. who
continued at II for one and one-half
years. In 1893 the citizens of Payson
and spanish Fork held n mass meeting
TO consider the Straw berry valley water
project. committee of prominent
mon from both towns was appointed to
take the matter In hand. They appealed
10 the government Tor aid and got tho
lamation authorities Interested. APP
pllcatlon was made TO the secretary OF
the interior for permission 10 locate a
reservoir IN Strawberry valley, which
was permittei. From here the plan
took definite form and the successful
completion OF the work was practically
assured. During the last year the land
owners 0f Payson and Spanish Fork

Pittsburg. April 19.-Railroad men We're great

made here that Joseph Ramsey, jr.. had resigned

road. the Eastern Division OF the Wabash. There
was still greater surprise at the rumor that he
VIII also resign in q very short time as presi-
dent Of the wabash system, and that his sue
cessor will be none other than Howard Gould.
For some time past there has been friction be
tween the Gould interests and Mr.. Ramsey.
When Mr.. Ramsey assumed the presidency Of
the Pittsburg Terminal he was assured that the
appointments he made would not be interfered
with. He brought several men from st. Louis
and Cleveland to Pttsburg. who have since been
removed by order from Mr.. Gould.
During The last few months the latter has
made several visits 10 Pittsburg, and the deep
interest that he took I'm the details of the work
being done here aroused the suspicious Of the
railroad peopIn. Al all OF these times. however
il was denied that any friction existed. The
announcement of the retirement Of Mr.. Ramsey
created the greatest surprise. The fact Of his

against The wishes OF the cities Of Pttsburg
