TRANSFERRING GOVERNMENT
 MACHINERY ID UTAH
Work on Reclamation Project at
 Provo.

j. D. Lytle. the engineer in charge of the Strawberry project, located about three miles out from Provo. Utah. was in Mesa yesterday, having just come down from Roosevelt where he has been looking over the machin- cry that has served it's purpose on that dam, with view tO taking il to Provo. The Strawberry project. is of course being furthered under the reclamation service one of the features ot the Utah proposition is that a three mile tunnel will be run and another Is the amount of power to be generated. The project will include about sixty five thousand acres and extensive pumping operations will be carried on. How ever one of the propositions that has to be contended with in the Straw berry project is ice. In getting the water through the tunnel during the winter months is the problem to be solved.
 The wire cable which was strung across the river at Granite Reef is one of the items that will probably be util- iZed at the project near Provo.
