OTHER EXPERIMENTS MADE.
Not the First Attempt at Developing
Artesian Water Supply.

Representative John Parry of Iron
county is not opposing the Jackson bill,
making an appropriation for an invests
cation of the underground flow Of waters
in Utah, for the purpose of developing Il
supply for domestic purposes In dry
farming, but he Is of the opinion that the
matter should be we'll considered in or
der to avoid the mistakes of q similar
investigation made number Of years
ago.
MIR. Parry. in a former session of the
Legislature. was author Of a bill which
passed, making an appropriation Of $4,000
for similar purpose The money was ex-
pended under the direction of the state
land board. but little in the way of prac-
teal results was accomplished.
Mr. Parry is deeply Interested in the
subject OF dry farming and is willing to
co anything within reason to advance the
matter in this state.
In the former experiments. particularly
in his own county. the borings were made
in a locality where. in his opinion. there
was the least chance of securing an ar
tesian flow and the plan was abandoned
At present the farmers Of Cedar VAL
ley and those Of Parowan and Para
TO develop dry farming. The former
community bought an engine and a gang
plow last fen and commenced cultivation
of a thirty-acre tract, while the people
Of tie two counties last named have or
dcred an engine and will begin active
work in the spring. In those localities
there is 4 plentiful supply OF surface
water for domestic purposes and for this
reason the jackson bin would probably
not affect them.
Mr. Jackson, the author OF the bill,
hopes that the legislature will act ia
vorably upon his measure With the de-
velopment cf dry farming. Utah, in his
opinion, will be able 10 raise all the wheat
Il needs for fome consumption and prob
ably surplus for export. while the irri-
gated lands will be left for the raising
Of fruit and other crops and thus Utah
would be made self-sustaining in an ag-
ricultural way.

NEW SOCIETY FORMED.
"IHE ITALO-AMERICAN CIVIC
 ASSOCIATION, OF THIS CITY.

Society Will Try to Better the Con-
 dition of ItaIlans-OHicera Were
 Elected-Prominent Italian-AmerI-
 cans Invited to Join Organization.
 A number of prominent Italo-Ameri- on citizens of New Haven met Monday evening in the Exchange building for the purpose of founding an association whose scope shall be the social and moral betterment of the Italians resid- ing in New Haven by using the most valuable means in order to attain that end. The number which met decided to invite others equally prominent and influential who are in position to do good.
 Some time ago R. Ierardi wrote an article for the L'Independente, an Ital- ian daily paper, entitled The Worst Evil In this article the writer sug- gested that the better element of the ltalian-Americans should help the mass as far as possible.
 The new society is named "The Italo- American Civic Association" This so- ciety will try to better the condition of their countrymen. A sentence. writ ten by R. Ierardi was q particularly good one and is one that has inspired many of the Italians. It reads: Let us look to our faults, not to our merits, if we would better our social and moral condition; our better qualities will take care of themselves"
 Plans were made for holding another meeting in the near future, when ar engagements will be made for carrying on the campaign. A general disarma- ment on the part of those who carry concealed weapons is one of the good things to be hoped for from the new association.
