Lands.
TRACT SITUATED ON THE
WEST SIDE OF UTAH LAKE
Agreement Is to Purchase Seven
Thousand Acres; Water to
Irrigate From Lake.

Two men from Colorado and one
from Iowa propose to start n great
peach orchard in Goshen Valley on the
west side of Utah Lake il their appll
cation to purchase state lands is ap-
proved,
On December > of last year Joseph \,
Simpson and r. A. Morrison of Denver
Colo, and j. f.. Davis of ,Ames, Iowa
filed their application with the state
land board Of Utah as also their agree.
mcnt to purchase $3.50 acres of land
on the west side of Utah lake. Slmp-
son S application was embodied IN list
Nos. ll05-6-7. and was for 1920 acres
Morrison s was list Nos ll0S:9-lo,i
and was for 2lS0 acres, while MI
Davis list number was 1115-16-lT-1S,
for 25lo.S9 acres. These lands are
what is known AS lien school lands and
the gentlemen who made the applica-
ton agree to pay $3.50 per acre for the
land. or little more than Sli 600 for
the tract.
Great Peach Orchard.
The intention is, according 10 advlces
received here from Denver, to make a
great peach orchard ont Of this tract,
the land it is said being ideal peach
land Water to lrrigate this land Is
to be obtained from Utah lake, where
pumping plant is to be installed and
where an inexhaustible supply Of water
can be obtained.
From information which The Trib'
une has. this land. if the gentlemen
named succeed in obtaining it, will be
cut mp into five-acre tracts or multIplcs
Of five. no one person, however, to hold
more than 40 acres, 20 is preferable,
the lands TO be planted in peaches.
In other words, TO make practically 400
peach farms or orchards Of five acres
each
Finest Peach Land Known.
The gentlemen who are interested in
the project are confident that no finer
land can he found for the growing Of
peaches. The soil is perfect, and the
fact that Utah lake is upon the east
side Of the land puts IT in the same
class with the peach growing region OF
Michigan with the addition that this
Utah tract has in addition to the MichI-
gan tract water in plenty and all the
time.
There is already a tract Of land on
that side of Utah lake now planted in
fruit and after the heavy freeze OF
last spring when so much Of the fruit
in the state was killed the orchards
in the region named were not injured
in the least. -.
Should the deal be perfected it will
bring into that section at least 1900
families or about 1000 people, the in
tent Of the purchasers being to make
it second Palisade, that place in Colo,
RADIO ranking at the top as peach
region.
Is Easily Reached,
The Tintic branch of the Rio Grapde
system runs through the southern por-
tion of the tract, thus making the re.
gion easy Of access, while the old line
of the Salt Lake Route runs a little
to the west.
As to whore the pumping plant is to
be located. that has not yet been de-
cided upon. nor will it be. of course,
until all other details Of the project
are completed 1t is, however, one of
the biggest projects that has been
started in the state.
