TRIP WITH LAND BOARD
AFFORDS FINE PRETEXT
Officials Profess to Be Highly
Pleased With Status Of
State Projects.

Governor Spry,. the state land board
and State Engineer Caleb Tanner re-
turned Thursday from trip Of inspec-
tion to the Piute and the Hatchtown
irrigation projects that included eight
days in wagon and covered $50 miles
by stage.
The governor, however, did not spend
all his time with the land board. Utah IS
chief slanderer branched of from the
land board at several points along the
route and two or three times took the
stump in behalf of the wobbly G. o. p.
In a few Instances he devoted consid-
erable time to perpetuating his infam-
Gus slander against Salt Lake City, it is
reported.
Those in the party leaving Salt Lake
last week. besides the governor and the
state engineer, were w. J. Lynch, sec
retary Of the land board, and W. D..
Candland. president, and w. III. Thain,
NJ NJ Steele and Arnold G. Giauque,
members of the board. At Hatchtown
Steele quit the party, returning home.
The party professed to be highly
pleased with the status of the two state
irrigation projects that stand as colossal
monuments TO state mal-administration
and mismanagement, not to mention ac-
tual graft. The dam at the Piute prof.
Get now is about forty feet high and the
pipeline by which it is proposed to
sluice the rest of the dam is being in
stalled and enough water will be i'm
pounded by next spring, Mr.. Giauque
said Thursday night to irrigate 5000 or
5000 acres of land. The remaining
twenty miles of the sixty mile canal is
being constructed.
The canal and main dam for the
Hatchtown project are completed aud
the diversion dam is finished except for
facing the front, Mr.. Giauque said.
This is the project on which the state
pies money only to get no buyers for
the land, in spite of the fact that the
newspapers all over the state. irrespec-
tive of partisausbip, were generous with
free advertisement. The land now is in
the hands of the National Bond and
| Trust company, Utah corporation, for
| colonization.
| The party returned to st. George by
way of Kanab and viewed us. acres
of arid land which ]. NJ. Lauritzen and
| associates propose to reclaim This
will be the largest irrigation project in
the southern part of the state; $4,000
acres lap over into northern Arizona
Already $4,000 acres are partially under
irrigation and it is proposed to build
Il 40ofoot dam of solid masonry. thai
will impound 225,000 acre-feet of water
Close TO ten miles Of tunnels will have
to he built and the project will cost
Approximately $l,500.000. The water
will be taken from the Virgin river
! Eastern capital is interested heavily il
this project.

CITY WANTS DRY
FARM CONGRESS
Commercial Club Will Make
Determined Effort to Get Con-
ycntiOn i'm 1912.
SECRETARY BURNS GUEST
OF HONOR AT LUNCHEON
Official Says Zion Has Good
Chance for Gathering
Of Delegates.

In honor Of John II. Burns. secretary
of the National Dry Farming congress,
the convention committee of the Com
mercial club and President Joy d.
Johnson entertained at luncheon Mt
the club Thursday afternoon The fore
noon was spent 10 an automobile ride
about the city and special organ re-
cital was given at the tabernacle Mr.
Burns is en- route to his home at Den
yer from the recent dry farming con-
gress, which was held at Spokane.
Salt Lake City is in the line to secure
the 1912 dry farming convention, and
that matter was discussed at length at
the luncheon at the Commercial club.
The following members of the eonven-
tion committee of the Commercial club
were present; George F.. Merrill, 2,
r. NJ Randolph, e. l., Sloan, l.. II.
Martineau, c. c. Daily, Freeman Morn
ingstar and G. F. Warren.
Salt Lake Has Good Chance.
Mr.. Burns is Of the opinion that Salt
Lake stands good chance to get the
1912 convention The second conven.
held in this city in 1908, and was a
splendid success. In speaking of the
recent convention at Spokane, Mr..
Burns said that there were fully 2QC
delegates in attendance from all parts
of the world. Among the foreign coun-
tries represented at the convention were
Hungary, Russia, Brazil, Mexico
France and Canada. A delegation
started from Australia and got as far
as this city, and Mr.. Burns declared
that they were so infatuated with
Zion that they made stop here In
stead of going on to the convention.
The purpose of the convention is to
introduce modern methods of cultiyat
ing land that can not be irrigated. Dry
farming, he declared, has placed under
cultivation 100000 acres of land west
of the Mississippi river. In speaking
of what convention means to the city
in which it is. held. Mr.. Burns declared
that there are 5000 names on the mail
ing list of the congress, to which
literature pertaining to the convention
and the city in which it is held is
forwarded. This, it will be seen, is a
splendid advertisement for the city II
itself.
President johnson of the Commercial
club, on behalf of the club, declared
that Salt Lake is going after the 1915
convention Of the dry farming con
gress to get it.
