the bill was 10 be passed at all this
session
In the meantime the representatives
Of the railroads had been busy asserting
that the railway employees associations
We're not correctly represented in the APP
peals for the passage OF the Senate bill,
and would be satisfied with the Esch

As soon as this fact was made known
TO the heads of the railway employees
associations, kilograms began to come 20
Chairman Hepburn and various members
Of the Commerce Committee 10 different
members throughout the House. and 20

Methods of Draining
Utah Lake.

Provo. Dec. "A rousing meeting of the
Utah county farmers was held at the
county court. house Saturday afternoon.

entire situation for twenty years back.
He was opposed by George Y. Peay, on
some of the technical points concerning
the agreement entered into years ago by
the Utah county farmers and Salt Lake
county. Years ago an agreement was
made to let the water flow unmolested in
the Jordan river from Nov. Is to March
Is of each year. This arrangement
stopped the flooding of land around Utah
lake i'm the summer time and increased
the acreage of the county considerable.
Last summer over 20000 acres of land
were flooded and thousands of dollars in
crops lost. A present the lake is over
three feet deeper than it was two years
ago.
The meeting lasted for over three hours
and resulted in the election for commits
sioner of George It. Peay of Provo and
Joseph Z. Greer of Lake Shore. The Of
ficers elected of the Utah County Farm
ers' association are Andrew Knudsel,
president: Joel A. Johnson, vice presi-
dent; r. +. Hinckley, secretary. Another
