PROJECT DONE IN MAY 1910
Water Will be Ready to Use Next Sea
son, One Million Yards of Dirt
Moved Since June

Mackay Miner
Nothing now stands in the way OF
the completion OF the Big Lost river
Irrigation company's project on
schedule time, early in the spring
of 1910. Everything is lined out for
a steady winters work and material
to be used in the dam at the reser-
voir, over which there was some an
xiety, Is now on the road, insuring
steady work on this part Of the pro-
ject all winter.
At the present time there is about
% per cent of the dam completed
and inside OF a week Sweeny and Os-
born will let the light clear through
the big tunnel they are driving. AS
soon as the tunnel is driven the con-
crete work will be started and the
system of valves installed, and the
river channel closed by the dam walls
thus sending the water through the
tunnel system, and as work pro-
crosses on the dam the water will
be stored.
Only five miles of main canals re-
main unfinished and these ends of
contracts are being rapidly compile
ted. Already work on the laterals is
progressing nicely. Concreting is
being done at the first canal drop, al
so at the dam, and piling is being
driven at the head gate below Leslie.
Since June one million yards Of
dirt has been moved on the entire
project. With an open winter the
entire system will be complete by the
first Of May. 1910, and should
stormy weather interfere the work
may be prolonged somewhat, but
even at that the main bulk of the
work will have been done by that
time and water will be conducted
through the system for the irriga-
tion season of 1910.

wEEyIL DESTROYS ALFALFA IN
UTAH
Logan Professor Declares the Pest Is
Very Serious One and
Spreading

Idaho Falls Register
Weevil, the pest that has cost the
United States hundreds Of millions of
dollars In cotton destroyed, now
seems sure to spell ruin for tens of
thousands of acres of alfalfa, COM
monty called lucerne. The loss this
season In Salt Lake county alone will
reach over $500, 900, according to
Prof. e. G. Titus of the Agricultural
college at Logan.
This pest is a national danger.
said Prof. Titus Tuesday. There
is no hope of killing it out; all we
can do is to fight it. The weeyil is
a small bug that attacks the alfalfa
plant, eating the leaves, parts OF the
stem and the flower. This season in
Salt Lake county it first appeared on
the east bench, near the state prison,
but soon spread. The first crop 1t in
ajured severely, the second crop 1t af-
fected even worse, and the third crop
was blighted In some cases and prac-
tically ruined and a total loss In 9TH
ers.
Next season the weevil will APP
pear all over the country. 1t is
spread in a hundred ways, by the
wind, by the railroads with every
bale Of alfalfa they carry, by wag-
ons, in fact by everything that will
lend hiding place for the bug.
1T is just as hopeless now to ex-
terminate the weevil as 1t would be
to exterminate all the flies. How
to fight the weevil successfully we
do not know. The government has
spent hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars in the south trying to find out
how to kill 1t, but, like the fly, the
grasshopper and such other pests,
there seems to be no way to fight it..
The best we can do is to limit it's
spread as much as possible.
THE weevil appeared In southern
Europe and has spread all over the
world, costing millions of dollars loss.
1t crossed the sea In ships, just as
does the rat or the mouse. The eff
feet on the livestock industry OF the
west is greater from this pest than al
most anything else that could hap
pen 1t would easily be worth one
billion dollars to America il the Wee

DIR. Colt TELLS OF
BERNARD SHAW
Enjoys Intimate Acquaintance
and Says He is an UnSCar-
able Man

DR.. Stanton Colt, Of England. de-
livered a brilliant lecture last evening
at the. New-century Club TO an ap-
.preciative audience, whose enthusiasm
was shown by frequent laughter and
appliance. DR. Colt said that out OF
seventy of the most startling sub
jects 70 be found IN his twenty-year
barrel Of sermons nine out OF ten
American audiences had chosen his
present subject Bernard Shaw as a
Social Symptom.
DR.. Colt described Mr.. Shaw as a
man whose genius reflected the trend
OF the age. Early lack Of education
had deprived him Of the culture OF the
past land the breadth afforded by ac-
quaintances with science. His writ
ings show a wonderfully keen wit, a
depth Of light and shade, richness Of
coloring. artistic rendition. defiance OF
conventions rarely surpassed. After
that." remarked the lecturer IT don't
know that anything Is left for me TO
say"
DR. Colt is a personal friend Of Mr..
Shaw and described him as the most
"unscarable" man he knew-even the
near prospect Of an American trip is
not causing him trepidation. Mr..
Shaw is a socialist, anti-vivisectionist,
anti-vaccinationist protester against
capital punishment and prisons, and
a getarian-although Mrs. Shaw has
succeeded I'm putting meat-stock into
the soup unknown to him. His views
on marriage have caused the most pro-
found sensation.
Dr. Colt said that IL was noticeable
that Mr.. Shaw never joked on this
subiect-a delicacy lacking in the great
writer's up TO the present century. His
grim earnestness had given offense and
caused his writings 10 be called i'm
moral, while coarse plays like the
Merry Widow" were tolerated by re-
spectacle people. Or. Colt thought
that Mr.. Shaw made a mistake in try
ing to teach through the medium OF
art 1t usually puzzled people; they
didn't know what he was driving at
A plain lecture was better. DR.. Colt
read two selections calling attention
10 the artistic transition from grim
earnest to sudden fun. He closed by
likening Mr.. Shaw to his own descrip-
tion Of Caesar and the Sphinx. part
brute"-the elemental-"part woman, "
the tenderness-'part god'-the di-
vine, but not none of man"-the
warrior against peace.
DR. Colt paid a beautiful tribute C

tionists. Shaw among them, give peo.
pie what they want: Lincoln saw
deeper and gave people what they

GUARDS PATROL

SLIGHT FIRE In
THE PULP-KEG MILL

Although officials OF the DUPONT
Powder Company have denied that
they entertain any suspicion Of a plot
to do damage or cause explosions at
the mills OF the company in the Hagley
yard on the Brandywine creek, Il be-
came known to-day that the company
has an armed body Of guards patroling
both the yards and the company's
property outside the enclosure. The
company is boarding up its grinding
houses and other mills within the
yards. creating the impression among
the powder makers that work will not
be resumed there for some time.
Yesterday afternoon, about ave
o'clock. fire broke out in the DUPONT
company's pulp keg factory, Just out
side the entrance 20 Hagley yard.
Prompt action on the part of the COM
pany's machine shop force and yard
worlSmen, with the use Of powerful
sprinkling plant, prevented what
threatened TO be a serious fire danger
ously close TO the mills containing
powder II is thought that mice
might have caused some matches to
become ignited. Oficials Of the COM
pany, however, attributed the fire to
spontaneous combustion. There is no
suspicion Of anything wrong about the
fire.
Residents Of DUPONT Banks say that
it is customary for the company to
guard it's property following an ex-
plosion, but now that additional guards
have been established. people there
wonder why the extra precaution is
being taken. II was said that the
men patrol the company's property
both night and day, the patrol extend

Squirrel Run TO the upper end Of the
company's property at the iron bridge.
a distance Of more than a mile. The
company's stables are included. Thirty
men are said to compose the guard.
The closing down Of the mills means
a hardship for many persons who find
employment in the yards, and coming
at the outset of winter, as II does, the
powdermakers are disappointed over
the turn affairs have taken since the
explosion. The mills had been In
operation since early this year. About
one hundred men are affected by the
shutdown and these are now seeking
employment elsewhere. The pulp keg
mill will continue work. since the COM
pany makes many kegs there for use
