The final score was 30 to in favor
of the visitors. But these figures do
not tell the story In detail At the end
OF the first half, the visitors held the
margin on the High school boys With
the score 26 to 0. II was from the
beginning of the second period until
the final whistle that the local ath-

The High school eleven several
times during the particularly

losses. but they could not stand the
strain They were willing. but they

that there are not now any prominent

dispatches from Kaysville indicate that
there is something wrong somewhere.
A Kaysville dispatch reads as follows:
Word was received here today to
the effect that the new irrigation pro-
ject which has been under discussion
in Davis and Weber counties for sew
eral weeks has been abandoned for

tlon from unlooked-for sources. This
news was conveyed in a letter from
Charles C. Shepard OF Weber county
to one of the citizens OF this county
who was Interested in the project
In this letter Mr Shepard says
a campaign Of misrepresentation has
been carried on which has turned
many of the land owners against what
Mr.. Shepard believes TO be their best
