GREAT IRRIGATION
PROJECT REVIVED
Sum Necessary to Swing We
Der Canyon Enterprise Said
to Have Been Pledged.

The immense irrigation project planned
for Weber canyon. which is Intended TO
redeem $4,000 acres OF rich bench lands,
now lying idle in Weber, Morgan and
Davis counties. is again being discussed
and it is asserted that the $1,000 900 neces-
sary to carry the project through has
been pledged.
The movement was inagurated some
three or four years ago At that time it
was estimated that the putting in of
the immense system would cost S2,O0j
600. An eastern capitalist agreed TO fur
nish this amount. When he came west,
however, and looked over the site with
his own men. the estimate was Increased
to double the original amount. The CAPT
taliSt in question still agreed to put up
the S2OU0,OO0, providing the promoters could
get some one else to put up like sum.
Since that time Kelsey & Young, the
Salt Lake engineers, have been at work
on the project and the announcement that
the balance of the funds is IN sight has
revived interest in the movement. Il is
stated that it will involve a dam in Web
er canyon and a network of canals eX-
tending from the Utah hot springs on the
north to the Beck hot springs on the
south.
Recently a deal was made between F.
j. kiesel and Thomas Fitzgerald whereby
an option on 400 acres of land Just south
of the Weber canyon was secured. BY
the terms of the option the first pay
ment of 10 per cent is due July 1.
A Mr.. Allen of COalVilie is promoting
the project in this territory and is look
ing after the land deals. Assurance is
given that the men at the head of the
movement have tied up the reservoir and
dam sites in Weber canyon and that
water rights in the stream to push for
ward with their construction work.

THE PART HE PREFERRED.

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier-

~ comes into San Francisco, but when
he does he is made a good deal of a
lion. On his last visit he was one of the
guests at a rather formal dinner at a
friends house where he stayed over
night. His hostess had known the poet
since her childhood, SO she felt privi-
legged, next morning, to discourse to
him of the beauties of the Partisan
gown she had worn the night before
beauties which seemed to have escaped
his observation.
Mr. Miller listened to all that she had
To say and remained silent
But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady.
We'll" replied the poet, II did like
part of it Well enough"
The lady frightened.
"Indeed?" she said. What part?"
The part you had on, answered the
poet; AMI that ended the discussion.

Brother Felix. in his cell
AT the Mission San Rafael,
Weakened by the winds loud cries
Down the slopes of Tamalpais,
Rose. and looking through the bars
On the COldly cleaning stars,
Thought he heard the waves. like Fate
Pounding on the Golden Gate;
Listened-it was at his heart
Soemthing knocked with wOndrous art
And a voice, calm, sweet and clear,
Whispered in his startled ear:
Brother Felix, take thy pen
And unto the hearts of men,
Hearts with hopeless tears believed,
Write a new beatitude."
In the long, white gown he wore,
Down the long, white corridor.
To the sacristy he crept,
Where the pens and inks were kept,
Violet and gree and red
And the leaf with gold bespread;
Found his box of redwood made,
On the cover. "t' in jade,

Suddenly from out the gloom
DaWned a White Light in the room,
And a Voice, sweet, clear and calm,
Breathed like seraph-chanted psalm:
Blessed are We if We strive,
This shall keep your souls alive;
Faint souls, hearken unto Me.
Strive, and blessed shall ye be"

Missing him at break of day,
When the brethren knelt to pray,
Some one found him, smiling, cold,
In his hand the screed, out-rolled,
In his face the best of things
Blessedness that striving brings.
In the missions treasure cell
Still the screed is guarded well;
Brother Felix wrote no name
On the dusty Roll of Fame,
But, the New Beatitude,
Like A lovely interlude,
Binds his life to yours, to mine,
And unto the life divine.

PLENTY OF WORK on FARMS.

Secretary of Agriculture, say s.
"The productiveness of the
United States along agricultural
lines is not keeping pace with
the growth of our population.
Meats are dear because meat
bearing animals are falling be-
hind the population in relative
numbers. Labor is scarce on the
farm, and labor is dear on the
tarm because the factory, the
forest, the mine and the rail
road are taking away the farm
er's workers through wages
fixed at rates which the farmer
cannot afford TO pay.
The population of the United
States is growing both by rea-
son of the natural increase of
the families domiciled in Ameri.
ca and by acessions through.
immigration from abroad. But
the immigrants do not reach to
the farm. The farmers who DO
come to Us from foreign coun-
tries do not find their way to
the farms of this country; and
the immigration laws prevent
American farmers from going
to foreign countries and select
ing there the prospective immi-
whose service could aid
them.
At no period of our history
has the American farmer need
ed help so much as he needs this
year. There are aid TO be
hundreds of thousands of idle
men in the United States. All
of them could secure employ
ment affording food, shelter and
living wages.
