Mr.. Martin George, of Kanosh,
Utah, has been stopping at the hotel
for a few days. looking over the coun-
Try IN view Of investing here. He says
the country Is so per cent better than

Of straw and the granaries overflow
ing with good marketable gtain,
the immense stacks OF hay that cam
not be excelled In quality in any coun-
try TO be found at every ranch and
farm. We're evidences OF prosperity he
had not expected TO find. Mr.. George
was so pleased with the creamery adj

there are hundreds OF young men who

BISHOP WATSON DEAD.
After a Long Illness He Succunbs to
Diabetes This Morning.

A stalwart and honored citizen OF
Salt Lake passed to his eternal rest
at 1880 this morning when Bishop
James C.. Watson breathed his last.

had been a very sick man for many
months, but the news of his departure
will be a painful surprise to acqualnt-
ances not in the vicinity Of his home.
The cause OF death was diabetes.
A long ago as last April 81 became
apparent that Mr.. Watson's health
would not permit him to longer as
sumo the duties Of bishop OF the Sixth
ward, and he was honorably released
from that position, and was ordained
n patriarch. For % years he had been
connected with the blshoprio of the
ward mentioned, the last is Of which
had been spent as its head.
James c. Watson was born at New
arkhlll, Scotland, Sept. 4. 1874, In the
fall Of 1850 he came with his parents
to Utah, and this was his home there
after. He was q man very large
physically. Weighing IN his primo not
less than $50 pounds, and he was also
OF large heart and brain. Ever Jovlal
and good natured, he was well thought
Of by all who had the pleasure of his
ACQUAINTANCE. He was particularly
popular with the members OF his ward.
and hfs death will be regretted by many
also who were not members OF the
Church.
Bishop Watson Is survived by a large
family, 20 children and n great many
grandchildren and many other rela-
tives. The time and place OF funeral
will be announced later.

mott MAKES PLEA
FOR NEW DRAINS.
Asks People to Support
Proposed Bond Issue
for Improved Sewers
EXTENT OF PLAN

OAKLAND, Aug. 27.-Mayor Mott to-
day issued an appeal to all of the
public andsemi public organizations in
the city to support the proposed bond
issue of s5S4,ooo for new sewer sys-
TEN. The Mayor points out that nuis-
ances of years standing along the
west shores of the city will be abated,
that the encroac chments of commerce
and manufacturing along the southern
SIDE VIII be met. by permanent exten-
sions of sewer outlets TO deep water;
that East Oakland will be benefited
likewise by new storm water and
sanitary drainage outlets. In short.
the Major says, the projected improve
ments are yitally necessary to the
health and proper sanitation of city
that by leaps and bounds has out
grown the existing system.
Foul and forbidding to a degree are
the conditions at West Oakland, where
much of the city's sewage is carried
through decayed wooden boxes only to
be emptied on the mud flats along the
shore inside the low tide line. To
meet what are declared by the experts
to be the obvious necessities of the
situation the new scheme provides for
modern masonry intercepting sewers
to connect with those running west
from Ninth street north to Twenty
second. Here they will connect with
a masonry outlet to extend from Ade-
line street westward a mile to deep
water. This sewer, six feet in
diameter. will relieve the entire dis
trtct between Ninth Twenty
Adeiine and the bay shore, besides sup
plying an outlet which for many years
to come will meet all of the demands.
Along the south side, where the fill
ing OF the lowlands has blocked the old
&C LAT ft1a -, .f,+
the installation of large intercepting
sewers which will drain from east and
west, carrying the sewage to deep
water by means of large masonry out
let's.
In East Oakland one of the principal
items is the extension to deep water
of the east side sewer now emptying
into the tidal canal through which
flows the water into Lake Merritt.
These are only a few of the most
important improvements which the
sewer bond plans contemplate.
