GREAT ACTIVITY IN
WILLARD COUNTY LAND
w. L. WINNER Closes Deal for
Land Worth $25, $500; New
Development Scheme.

There is no county in the State of
Utah that is doing more in the line of
farm settlements and land improvement
this year than Millard county. The rea-
son of this lies in the fact that it is
favorably located and in the further
fact that the soil is about the richest
in quality, the best adapted to the grow
ing of all kinds of fruits and cereals
of any portion of this widely diversi-
fed intermountain country.
The soil, which is grayish loan on
clay subsoil, is SO mineralized by ma
ture's handiwork that in strength and
fertility it surpasses computation.
Where this land is seeded or planted
peaches, prunes, cherries and the like,
the yield, in an incredibly short time,
is simply marvellous, not only in quan.
tity, but in quality. The Ingredients of
which the soil Of the valleys and pla
teaus of Utah is comprised is such that
with proper irrigation, strengthened
yearly by an average of 800 days of
sunshine, it is capable of yielding in
full development every kind Of crop to
sic value of these lands has not until
within the past few years commanded
much attention,
Some time ago an association of CAPT
talists of st. Paul, MINI, seeing an op-
portunity for an investment, acquired

$50 miles south Of Salt Lake, and but

portation, on the line of the San Pedro,

system. also owned by the company;

This company not only purchased this
tremendous irrigation project, and with

steam plow in operation, which plows
and breaks up forty acres of virgin
desert land per day. Ii also has sew
enty-fve teams at work. The company
is planting this spring five acres to
fruit orchard. These efforts on the part
of the company demonstrate the conf.

terprise. 1t emphasizes further the fact
that the company is not only comprised

Special to The Tribune,
SPRINGVILLE, April 13-The
Misses Hannah and Lillian Condur,
daughters of Gibson Condur, had a
narrow escape from drowning in the
raging waters of Hobbel Creek today.
They attempted to ford the stream near
the Central Lumber company's yard in
one-horse rig and the swift waters
swept the horse off his feet and lodged
the buggy against the bridge. Miss
Hannah was rescued with little trouble,
but Miss Lillian became fastened in the
buggy and came near drowning She
was finally rescued from her perilous
position in the waters. The horse broke
loose from the buggy and doated down
stream for nearly two miles, being
found lodged against bar an hour
or so after.
Hobbel creek is the highest it has
been since 1862 and Springville has
been in darkness for the last three days
The creek has backed up it's waters into
the town and flooded the electric power
house until 1t can not run
The waters are doing considerable
damage in the lowlapds below the town
and have washed a new bridge nearly
out. 1t will be impossible to save the
bridge now, it is thought.

Special to The Tribune.
BINGHAM, April 13.-Jakka Njaa-
games, Finlander, aged "a, was
killed at 1918 last night by an ore
train which was running from the mines
to the depot. The mans body, which
was badly mutilated, was not discovered
until the train made the return trip
about Q a M; even though one of his
arms had been completely severed at
the shoulder and remained on the oil
box Of the engine during the entire
trip to the depot and return.
1t Is thought that Njaagaanes was
asleep on the track when the train
struck him. He had been a miner in
the employ of the United States mines
and on April ! drew his pay, immediate,
ly spending the money In a debauch and
remaining much Of the time since then
in the local saloons. The theory is
advanced that he went to the track and
when he had reached a point about fifty
feet above the city hall he imagined
that ho was going to bed, for he had
unlaced and removed one shoe which
was found after the accident. He was
probably awakened by the TumbliDg Of
the train and, ms he arose, was struck
wound. The blow knocked him down
so that his legs and the lower part Of
his body were caught under the train.
His arm was evidently caught by one
of the wheels and hurled to the oil box,
Both legs were severed from the body
at the thigh. He had been dragged
about fifty feet, Njaagaanes was un-
married, and as far as could be ascer-
tanned has no relatives in this country.

DeWolf Hopper and his opera com
pany appeared in the auditorium last
evening in new comic opera emitted
Happvlaud by Reginald Dekoven ana
Frederick Ranken. The audience which
greeted the famous comedian was one
OF the largest this season, and there Is
not the slightest question That the per
Torrance was the best of its klnd ever
seen in Brattleboro. The stage setting
was unusually beautiful and the cos
Times more than ordinarily elaborate.
The chorus, which was large one, was
one Of the best singing comDlnatlohs
ever heard here, both in male and fe-
male voices Mr., Hopper, who IS per
fectly able to furnish fun enough for
one evening without assistance, was
nevertheless surrounded by such come
dams as William Dantorth, William
Wolff, Frank Casey and Ada DeaYes--a
combination which cannot be beaten
in genuine mirth production. The OPP
era itself has a plot much more clearly
defined than most pieces of similar
nature: in fact, there was no dlihculty
in following the story in spite OF the
musical numbers which were frequent
and unusually good. The diminutive
and dainty Marguerite Clark charmed
everyone. Two of her songs, Twas
the Rose and What Is the Difference
were exquisitely rendered. Joseph
Phillips as the Crown Prince and John
Hendrick as Apollus were both excel
lent singers, the latter's The Black
Sheep being one of the best numbers on
the entire program.
Mr. Hopper S droll actions and inim'
liable whine captivated his audience
from the start, and at the end of the
first act he quelled the applause only
by reciting Casey at the Bat, which
has probably done more than any 9th
err one thing to make his reputation
The duet. How I Love the Flowers, by
Mr.. Hopper and Mr.. Danforth was
nothing short of convulsing. and 1t
alone showed that Mr.. Danforth is
fully the equal of the star as a come
dian. As has been stated before the
chorus work was beautiful.
