STRAWBERRY PROJECT.

STRAW BERRY Project.
The mammoth Strawberry prop
osition in which the reclamation
service is deeply interested and in
which the people of Utah County,
particularly those of tho South end
manifest considerable enthusiasm
is nov being developed under the
direction of Professor Swenson,
head engineer of the reclamation
service in Utah.
This scheme is unquestionably
one Of the greatest Of its kind un-
dertaken by the government. 1t is
calculated to reclaim all the arid
land of the South end of Utah
County; other than this 1t is to per-
feet all invested rights of today, so
that share of water will be suf-
ficient to irrigate an acre of land
at any season of the year.
At the present, it is understood
that Utah County is the garden
spot of the state, its county seat
being known as the garden city.
There are many beautiful and thirty
ing cities in Utah County, each of
which has excellent graded schools,
free text books and supplies and a
high school system that is admired
by all. Land IN the vicinity of
these cities is quite valuable, selling
from twenty-five to one hundred
dollars an acre. After the COM
pletion Of the Strawberry prop
osition it is the opinion OF many
that the valuation of real estate
will increare rapidly.
Utah County is situated just
south of Salt lake County, lying
between the Wasatch mountains on
the east and the Oquirrh mountains
on the west. The scenery is strik-
ingly varied The valley slopes
gently from the east. and is trav-
ersed by streams of pure mountain
water which render green the fer
tile fields aud beautiful groves of
planted trees that stretch from
mountain to mountain To the
west, and along the foot of the
0quirrh mountains, nestles Utah
Lake which is about thirty miles
long and five miles wide. 1t af-
fords resting place for the rivers
after they have finished their work
of irrigation and furnished power
for the many wheels of industry.
1t is admirably situated and re-
markably picturesque.
The soil of the South end Of
Utah County is rich and varied
While ia unfavorable localities
the soil is often rocky, sandy or
alkaline, yet generally it is rich
loan, easy to subdue and cultivate
1t produces grains, alfalfa, sugar
beets, and garden products of all
kinds in such quantities and of
such quality as to render agricul-
ture a very profitable industry In
many places land supposed to be
worthless has been found by the
means of irrigation to be the most
productive, yielding very abund-
antly. Stock raising is carried ON
to greater or less extent, the
mountains at the east furnishing
an admirable summer range.
Should any one be DESTROYS of
locating in valley where nature
has done all IN her power to make
it beautiful and pleasant and where
man has supplemented nature with
his skill and ingenuity to render it
picturesque aud productive, let him
visit the South end of Utah County

GEORGE ULLRICH DEAD
Raised in Lincoln Township, Moved
to Dunlap. Fell from Wheat
Stack Last Week and Died
from Injuries Received.

George Ullrich was raised on the
Ullrich farm in Lincoln township,
Audubon county. Ofgood old Dutch
stock, he was soon following the pillow
and milking the COWS. His father
and mother bought the farm when in
q raw state and slowly but surely sub.
dued it acre by acre until they had
quite large tract of Iowa virgin soil
under pillow. They worked hard, put
in long hours, improved the farm and
raised large family. The German
Lutheran church was located on this
farm.
Many years after the church was
built, the old folks rented this farm
and went up near Ute and Charter
Oak where land was cheaper and
bought large tract OF prairie and
made fine farm of it. The old peo-
pie died on that farm and it was d.
vided among the children. George
Deing the Oldest son, bought large
tract of land in an adjoining neigh
borhood and was improving it rapidly.
During the stacking season, just
past, while getting off stack of
wheat, he fell and was hurt. The in
jury appeared to be slight at first but
it soon proved fatal and he passed
away in the prime of his life, and has
left large family to 60 fatherless
through the ages.

JACOB MISHLER DEAD
AGood Man Has Gone to His Re.
ward After Many Years Of Toll.

Jacob Mishler was one of the Oldest
citizens of Lincoln township. Being
not robust in stature, he was not
strong physically. His ambition led
him to labor hard to support his res.
pected family, only to find that every
exertion weakened him to such an ex-
tent that he WAS constantly on the
sick list. He WAS good neighbor, q
kind husband, loving father and
one OF natures noble characters.
His employment, farming, was
very laborious but that being his oc.
cupation, he followed 1t with all his
might.
Mr.. Mishler moved from a farm in
Lincoln township to the old Griffith
farm in Eden township, Carroll county
and from there, he moved his family
to William Shaw's farm in Cameron
township, which is also known as the
James Hall place.
He was known and respected for his
honesty and integrity, for he would
not take advantage of his fellow man
to the value Of anything. The dis.
ease which finally terminated his
life was dropey. Having reached the
stage which terminates life, and sur.
rounded by his sorrowing loved ones,
this good man passed from this life
Monday last.
Interment was made in the Doug.
las township cemetery where lie the
bodies Of loved ones gone before. Rev.
A. r. Grant officiated.
The Journal sympathizes with the
family In this hour of sorrow and
bereavement.
