DISCUSS WATER TRADE
Citizens of American Fork Fear Liti-
cation If Provo Proposition Is
Accepted.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
American Fork. Aug. IA gem
eral mass meeting of the water users
of this precinct was held in the city
hall last night TO hear the report OF
the committee that has been invests
eating the feasibility OF exchanging
waters with the Provo Reservoir COM
pany.
The report was a long one and
took in all points of the matter in
question, showing the legality OF the
undertaking and what the probable
results would be. There is a diversity
of opinion on the matter, some think
ing it would be benefit TO the city;
others, and these seem TO be in the
majority, thinking that il would be the
opening gun for long line OF litiga-
ton.
The proposition by the reser-
VOir company is TO bring the water
from Provo river. through its canal,
10 a point just north OF town, and
empty the water into the bitches of
the American Fork irrigation system,
and then in return for the water thus
furnished the people OF this city, the
company would take the American
Fork river out near the mouth Of the
canyon and divert IL through a high
line canal, around TO the north and
west, above several thousand acres
OF what is now dry land.
The majority of those present did
not seem 10 take kindly 10 the prOpO-
sluon, and the meeting adjourned
artre some very warm discussions
without a decision.

Especial 10 The Herald-R Republican,
Kaysville. Aug. 1.-THE tomato can
neries throughout Davis county will
this week, and the prospects for a
bumper yield of the fruit this year are
bright. The fact that the crop of to-
matoes in Davis county is ripening
about two weeks ahead of the usual
time is looked upon by the growers
and packers as an indication of a phe-
nomenal yield. Usually the crop is af-
fected by the early fall frosts in rip
ening. The danger OF frost this year
is eliminated. as the fruit will all be
gathered before the nights become cold
enough 10 do any damage. From the
start OF the canning there Will be three
weeks OF ripening weather. The crop
is in excellent condition. The can
neries are paying the farmers $40 a
ton for the tomatoes 81 per ton more
than formerly.
