STATE HAS LANDS
READY TO MARKET
HatChtOWn and Piute irrigation
Projects Attracting Atten-
ton of Settlers.

Aside from the Carey act projects and
the government reclamation project in
Strawberry valley, there are two recl7ma-
ton projects that have been conducted
under the direct supervision Of the state
board of land commissioners, and which
will be completed in the coming year and
the land thrown open for settlement
The state has 600 acres in Garfield
county which will be turned from desert
into irrigable land in 1910 The water
from the HatchtOWn state reservoir will
be ready by spring, and the land sold at
not less than $3.50 an acre. The water
rights viii cost not to exceed $50 an acre,
and the land will be disposed Of at auc-
ton by the state.
There is no question that there will be
a demand for this land. The reservoir
which the state has constructed in the
Sewer river has already cost sl25O00, and
an additional $4,000 viii be spent before
it is completed. The new land is near
HatchtOWn and is by no means mac
cessible.
The state is also directing the work on
the Piute reservoir project, having Sc
lected $500 acres of land west of the
Sewer river in Sewer and Sanpete coun-
ties. The storage reservoir on the Sewer
river is being constructed at an estimated
cost of S350,OOO. The work on the dam
is DeluB EuSu6Qs anu lIlc idtA VIII ne
opened for settlement in 1910. The land
will be disposed of at a low price, and
the water at actual cost.
The Piute project like the HatcEtOWn,
has attracted a great deal Of attention
and the opening of land will be awaited
with interest and anticipation by thou
sands of persons who propose TO settle
there and improve the farm lands.
To carry on the work at these projects,
the state acquires title to the land from
the government, gets water rights and
constructs irrigation works to encourage
opening and settlement Under state
projects no proof Of residence or cultiva-
| ton is necessary, for the wafer and land
are sold outright to the settler. The
purchaser gets the alternative of paying
| in full or 10 per cent down and the re-
mainder in ten annual installments with
an additional per cent on deferred pay
ments.
The state takes the money from the
| reservoir land grant fund, and as fas
as projects are completed and the land
sold the money is returned to that fund
to be used as a perpetual fund fol
| reclamation purposes.

BEAVER COUNTY lands
Large Acreage Under Irrigation and
Ready for Settlement Next
Spring.

Spring openings in irrigated lands
will be an attractive feature Of the mar
ket this coming year, and none viii at
tract more attention than the opening
in the early part Of the year of 1900
acres in Beaver county. The Beaver
Land Irrigation & Power company has
two reservoirs of $4,000 acre feet in the
Beaver river, and the value of the prop
critics is 81, 100000.
The project consists of 12,OOO acres OF
private land. $4,000 under the Carey act
and 5000 of state lands. The land and
water will be sold on installments.
The company has been rushing the
work in Beaver county, and when the
date Of the opening is announced 1t is
likely that there viii be a general IN
dux of settlers into that region.

MARROW BUILDING SITE
FOR SPOKANE WAREHOUSE

An innovation in warehouse building
is shown at Spokane, where a piece of
property with a frontage of twenty-five
feet was bought for $500. Upon this
lot a warehouse five stories high and
ninety feet long has been built. A
warehouse of so slight a base with the
height OF this one is a new idea in
building i'm the northwest. There is a
demand for the storage room there,
however. and il is expected that the
promoters viii realize handsomely on
thar investment

CHILDREN NOT PLACED

YEAR. ago no children at all were toll
Grated by the owners. However, a
philosophic view of children in fiat
is taken by many, who believe that chill
dren under 3 are not bOtheTsOme to
neighbors, and that when they pass the
age of y they have sense enough to re-
frain from running through the halls
and creating a disturbance that results
in neighbOrs moving into a zone of quiet.
Few apartment houses in Salt Lake
draw restrictions. But where the rule
is made, it is rigidly enforced.

Secretary Wilson's statement that the
value of crops for 1893 amounted to
nearly nine billions of dollars, or a billion
more than the output of 1905. not only en-

all branches of trade, and brings the mer-
chant. the capitalist and the wage Garner

and Thanksgiving.
Utah's contribution to the country s.
crops from dry farming alone was over
a million dollars, and this has not only
sWelled the grand total but &c has aided
