be distinguished by their expressions

filled with uncertainty, fear, terror.
The demeanor OF Barry Conant and
his lieutenants expressed confidence;
they were going to do what they were
here to do. They showed by their tight
buttoned coats, and squared shoulders
that they expected lots of rush, push
and haul work, but apparently they
anticipated no last-ditch lighting The

Kicked In Face.

John Sullivan, who is employed by
Jay Sidener on the Langhoif ranch, was
kicked in the face, Tuesday by horse,
and rather badly disfigured besides the
pain of the bruise.
Mr. Sullivan was hauling some poles
down IA Mill south of the ranch, when
one of the poles, which were loose on
the wagon, slipped foreward and struck
one Of the horses, which started the
team on a run down the hill Mr.. Sull-
ivan tried to hold the team and in his ef-
forts pulled more poles foreward. One
of the horses kicked striking Sullivan in
the face, knocking him off the load and
the wagon wheels passed over him.
Charles Black, stage oliver for the
Walden Laramie stage line, came
along about the time the accident oc-
cured and caught the runaway team.
Leaving the stage in care OF one Of the
passengers Mr. Black took Sullivan back
to the ranch where he is getting along
all right.

Formed to Erect Dam and
Build Cona1S.

The Mellen Reservoir, which was
filed upon by w. G.. Mellen and j. Y.
Munson. is one of the big Irrigation
projects in the Park. which will probab-
ly be completed in the near future. The
matter is now in the hands of S. III.
paay will in all probability be formed to
do the construction work and build the
necessary canals.
This reservoir, which is located on
Soap creep about five miles west and
half mile north of Mr. Mellen's, will ir-
rigAte about forty sections of land The
dam will be 1 600 feet in length on the
top and about 700 feet on the bottom.
The heighth will be Al feet in the center
and the lake formed will cover GAL acres
at depth of SO feet The estimated
cost is 100000 The topography of the
country In that section is such that land
on tho southeast of the reservoir as well
as that lying to the north and west.
The. water supply for the reservoir
will be furnished by the flood water
of the Illinois river.
Two or three reservoirs in the Park
like the, contemplated -ens will cover
nearly esefJ acre Of arid land within
the boundaries of the Park.
What the Park needs is money t. dew
elop her many resources. and from pres
ent indications it looks very much as
though the desired capital was about to
pc put to work in earnest.

Tuesday afternoon, as Jimmie, the
fourteen year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. E. Pollock Of Woods Landing, was
coming down Jelm mountain horseback
his horse stumbled, throwing the boy to
the ground and striking his head on
some rocks. The fall rendered him un-
concious end the latest word was to the
effect that he had just recovered con-
ciousness and would probably recover
after having been in comatose state
for over 4S hours. Jimmie was accom-
panied by Johnny Porter whom he was
thrown and help was summoned at once

The ranchers and settlers Of the San

requested the co operation of the fores
service IN the construction of drift
fence along the western boundary of the
Manti National Forest.
The ranches in this valley adjoin the
abrupt slope OF the Manti Range, and
the construction of fence along the
base of the mountain. is desired by the
stockmen to confine their stock.
