MAY DRAIN LANDS
TO WEST Of CITY
Gigantic Scheme for Providing
Ideal Farm Acreage Is Be-
ing Investigated.
COUNCILMEN INTERESTED
PLAN TO RAISE BANKS OF JoR-
DAN RIVER Is FAVORED.

A gigantic scheme for the draining
of many acres of land near the JOr-
dan river. between salt Lake and the
Great Salt lake. is now being worked
up by owners of the land. and members
of the city administration City En-
glneer George T. McGOnaGle and
members Of the council have gone over
the proposition thoroughly. and it is
probable that the first steps will be
taken this year when the cftys dredge
starts to work dredging the Jordan
river.
Much of the land between Salt Lake
and Great Salt lake is very fertile, but
nothing can be done with II because of
the constant inundatiOn through the
overflow of the Jordan. The land lies
so low that the water will not run
off. Owners OF this acreage contend
that the land could be made into ideal
farming land if the water were drained
off, and this is the purpose of the in
designations by the city officials this
week. 1t is probable Mayor John s.
Bransford viii also be taken over the
ground-as far as the water win per-
m1t-and others in the administration
will be shown the benefits Of the
scheme to Salt Lake county and city.
To Use City Dredge.
When the city's dredge arrives in
July 1t. will be put TO work in the
stream almost at once, with the pur
pose of deepening the channel and
preparing for the flood waters year
hence. But the real work of the dredge
will not be shown until next year. The
plan Of the land owners is that the
banks of the Jordan be raised several
feet with the earth taken from the bed
of the stream, and thus prevent an
overflow in the future. When this is
dones a large pump will be installed
at some point along the river. and
channels dug through what is now
bog land, so that all of the water will
drain To the common point then to be
pumped into the Jordan river and car
ried off TO the lake
The plan has seemed most feasible
TO City Engineer McGOnagle and some
of the councilmen. The idea Is to have
the city spend a few hundred dollars
on a pump, the other half to be paid
by the owners Of property to be ben
efited. This is not liked, however.
snd II will likely be insisted upon that

SOLDIER is EX0NERATED.
Joseph Phillips Freed of Charge OF
Defrauding Government.

Joseph w. Phillips, former member
of company I, Twenty-ninth United
States infantry, returned to Salt Lake
yesterday and is now with comrades OF
the Fifteenth infantry at Fort Doug
las, well pleased at having been cleared
of the charge Of having defrauded the
government by counterfeiting postof-
flee money orders. Phillips was ar
rested last January by United States
Marshal James II. Anderson at the in
stance OF the authorities at Indianap-
oils, who alleged that be had forged
postoffice money orders in Warsaw,
Ind, in May, 1908. Phillips was at
that time serving with the army and
had been transferred successfully from
Warsaw to Columbus, o.; Fort Logan
and finally TO Fort Douglas. Because
Of an afflictiOn which deprived him of
hts voice he was retained here and did
not go with the Twenty-ninth when 1t
left. An interesting feature OF the af-
fair is the fact that Phillips has not
only been cleared of the charge, but
has recovered the use OF his voice.

Would Eliminate Floods.

It his long been contended that much
of the land between the city and the
lake will make good farming land if
the water can be drawn from it, but
this obstacle could not be overcome be-
cause of the fact that the land is al
ways inundated with the annual rises
of the river. By raising the banks Of
the stream. however this will Se done
away with. and in the future there
would be no great fear of the laa1
being swamped. The plan is vet in its
infancy, but it is probable it will
come before the council in a short time
for definite action.

 AGAIN VERY BUSY With Bare Quorums Mississip-
 pi Solons Handle Bills. NOEL SENDS MESSAGE
Resolution Is Introduced in Referenct to Jefferson Davis and the Pro- posed Statue to Be Placed In
 Hall Of Congress

Jackson, Miss. February S.-(Special)- There were bare quorums in both houses of the legislature today, and good many measures of minor importance were in- troduced or got rid of. while the commit tees made numerous reports and worked hard all afternoon on pending bills.
 The house committee on appropriations reported adversely on bills to refurnish the governors mansion, to improve the mansion grounds and to care for the graves of Governors Matthews and Deake and of the mother of Governor McRea The same committee made favorable re- port on a score of local bills. The senate committee on judiciary reported favor ably on the bill creating two supreme court commissioners. They are to assist the present court of three members in the work. but do not deliver opinions.
 MT. Affords bill empowering boards of supervisors to cooperate with the state live stock board in tick eradication passed the house almost unanimously.
 The Municipal league bill, which gives boards of mayor and aldermen largely increased powers, was indefinitely post poned.
 Governor Noel sent in a message open- ing up the way for consideration of sew eral new matters, most of them Of local nature One was to provide for care and treatment of blind negro children. An other is to empower boards of supervisors to appropriate money for charity hos pitals
 Senator Anderson introduced a con- current resolution in the Senate calling attention to the fact that some persons in the north who do not know the war is over have protested against placing the statue of General Lee in the hall of fame, and serving notice that Mis- sissippi is going to offer one of Jef ferson Davis, expecting similar obJec- tions. The resolution declares that Mississippi has laid aside sectional feeling and would let the dead past bury its dead, but pledges the state to forever let the niche representing Mississippi remain vacant unless the statue of Mir. Davis is accepted.
 The resolution was referred to the committee on federal relations.
 The supreme court handed down an opinion today that is of great in terest to all interinsurance com panies al it Is the first time the courts of last resort have ever passed on the proposition to force these companies to pay license and come under the man. agement and control of the state in surance commissioners.
 This case was that of the Lumber mans Underwriters association of Kansas City. Mo. the agent of which was arrested a year ago for doing bus mess without license. The lower court decided against the state commissioner, but the supreme court reverses the case and declares that these companies. claiming to carry their own insurance and doing a big business in this state, must obey the laws of the state or get out

0ver-Eating Worse
 Than Starvation
Seven Deaths Arise From This Cause to One of Lack of Food
4 Trial Package of stunrt's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free


 An English medical observer claims that for one death to starvation there are seven from over-eatfng.
 His investigation is appalling and leads one to believe that among the Anglo Saxon race over-eating is na- tional crime.
 This investigation proves over-eat ing to be the cause in ten cases out of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trouble.
 These diseases bring on decay and decline of the other organs and death ensues because of an inability of the system to furnish proper nourshment to the dying and afflicted parts
 When one over-eats, one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines where 1t ere ates poison and germ life and is finally absorbed in putrid state or thrown from the system in a decaying form.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over come the ill effects of gluttony and irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and will not leave the stomach until everything has been digested. A single onegrain ingredient of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of food and in this proportion is seen how even gluttony can be overcome or at least it's most harmful effects removed. Make up your mind to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take a tablet after each meal and upon re- tiring at night Every druggist car rles them in stock; price soc. If you have a druggist friend ask his opinion. Send us your name and address and we will send you trial package free by mail Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.
