From the comparatively crude instrument OF the earlier

combined with the unusually handsome exterior, has

DEEP CREEK PROJECT

), II. Babcock, formerly for years con-

traffic commissioner for the Salt Lake
Commercial clubs traffic bureau. was
quite interested in the plans of c. ". SEQ
field for building line to the Deep Creek
district and said yesterday that he hoped
the project would go through. He recalls
many instances Of railway enterprises car
ried on in the west years ago by Mr..
Scofield and says he knows the New York
ct very well by reputation, although never
having met him personally. He recalled
the time when the Rio Grande Western
was considering a project to extend the
Tintic branch TO Deep Creek. That was
in 1881 and 1892. He said:
The project was taken up very enthu-
siastically. Our plan then was to extend
the line almost directly west from Silver
City into the Deep Creek country and we
actually built five miles of the track
across the sage brush. We had piles of
material on hand for the construction-al
the rails we needed, 1 think. Then we had
to cross the Oregon Short Line and that
road put up objections to our crossing
They contended it was a very dangerous
crossing and we were held up long time
with court procedures to condemn a right
of way across their tracks. We sent
many experts and engineers into that
country and they brought back adverse
reports and the enterprise was finally
given up. The five miles of track cor
structed was torn up and the rails re-
moved "

more men at the thatn than could gain ad-
mittance to the car, but those in attend
ance gained many points that will be
helpful to them in their farming opera
TONS here. Professor Merrill spoke on the
necessity OF organized effort in pTomOt-
ing the dairy business. insisting that Utah
offered opportunities in this direction IN
equsied by any other state He called
attention To the fact that we have cheap
er feeds and better markets for our dairy
products than obtained in the famous
Elsin district. However, he said that one
reason for the failure of Utah farmers
along dairy lines was the fact that the
average dairy COW produced but lis
pounds of butter fat per year. as com
pared with q production Of 200 pounds
per COW in the Elgin district.
Many stereopticon slides were used. IL

Tt is the unanimous opinion Of the peo-
pie Of Salina today that the farmers in
stitute held here has been the most help
full thing that has come to SaIins in a
great many years, and there is a univer-
sal desire on the part of the farmers in
this locality to profit by the instructions
