CITY ASKS RIGHT OF WAY
Sues to Compel East Jordan Irriga-
ton Company to Allow Enlarge
ment of Canal,

The city yesterday brought suit in the
district court against the East Jordan
Irrigation comany to condemn a right
of-way for its water through the East
Jordan canal.
The action is a most important one
and is a result of the failure of the city
and company to compromise. The city Of
fered to enlarge the canal, line it with
year. The company. however. wanted
$500. and the city engineer considering
this in the nature of hold up induced
the attorney to condemn the right-of-
way and let the court apportion the dam
ages. if there be any.
The canal in question carries irrigation
water from the Jordan river high up along
the east bench and ends at Little Cot
tOnwood. The city has a canal further to
the west. known as the Jordan and
Salt Lake City canal, which supplies wa-
ter to a large number in exchange for
mountain water which the city needs to
supply it's inhabitants Between the two
canals there are a large number of peo-
pie who have rights in Little and Big
Cottonwood creeks and who would will
ingly give them up for an equal amount
of Utah lake water. which is really bet
ter for irrigation purposes than that OF
the mountain streams. In order TO sup
ply these people the city desires to use
the East Jordan canal, in which it now
has a right to carry thirty-four second
feet. The proposition made TO the COM
pany was TO allow the city to carry all
of its 1874 second feet secured from the
Jordan river and now carried in the city
canal through this higher canal, thus al
lowing il TO supply the whole surround
ing country with water. In TINS event
the city canal would be abandoned from
Jordan narrOws to Little Cottonwood and
al that point the East Jordan canal would
be connected with it.
The contention of the city is that it
needs this right-of-way for public use
and that the use of the defendants is a
private use. The court is asked To ad-
Just any and all damages that may arise
from the use of the city of this canal
and the city in addition, promises to pay
the cost of enlarging il.
The suit will be vigorously fought by
the farmers. who compose the company.

sary to nominate. The remainder be-
long to Salt Lake county.
The fight is really between Loofbou-
row and Lyon, as Smith is said to have
not look-in, despite the fact that his
law partner. c. s. Price, is secretary of
the district committee.
TO be nominated, Loofbourow must
land the place on the first ballot, and
his friends are confident that he will
do il. If there are two ballots, there
seems 10 be little doubt that many of
the LOOfbOurOw delegates will go to
Lyon and give him the nomination.
The attitude of LOOfbOurOw toward
Judge Armstrong during the past two
weeks has been noticeable. At the pri-
maries Armstrong Joined with the
Lyon forces, which were cleaned up in
his own district by the present district
attorney. 1t is said that despite the
fact that Judge Armstrong and Loot
borrow have apparently been great
friends, that the latter has ''reconsid-
cred" and is urging Whitaker to run
against him instead of Lewis.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
iaxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine

Co, only, and for sale by all leading drug
