as In Salt Lake valley
Number of Good Sites.
Then come down the river and there
are n number OF good reservoir sites,
particularly one at the head OF what is
known as Pine valley. Here the river
narrows up 10 (or I should say It's banks)
to probably 100 yards or less; then 1t
opens out in n big fat OF two or more
miles long, and from 400 to 400 yards
wide Here is one OF the simplest and
believe one OF the least costly propoei =

Then come down to Woodland II a

course. would necessitate the buying out
what land there Is on the bottom, but
even this would not cost such a great
sum
