"The Irrigation Idc the western
musical epic of the time, was written
by, Prof, John j. Mcclellan of Snlt
Lake City. Professor Mcclellan Is a
young man. being considerably to the
good on the sunny side Of 40. He
Stands six feet In his stockings is of
pleasing personalitv and as approach
able as President Lincoln was. He is
organist of the great Salt Lake taber
nscle choir, and incidentally conducts
sixty-piece orchestra in the city of the
saints.
While he is loyal to Salt Lake City,
bis sphere is broader than a city-he
helped the Ogden choir, choral or
ganiZation numbering $50 trained sing
crs, and. led by Prof. Joseph Ballan-
tyne. who has characterized Professor
McClellan's wonderful ode as an epic.
The Ogden organization first rendered
the ode at the session of the irrigation
congress held In Ogden in the latter
part OF September. 1903.
Fred j, kiesel, president Of the con-
gress that year. had inaugurated con,
test for q typical irrigation poem and
musical setting for the occasion, offer
ing a prize of $50 for the best seleo-
tion submitted. Tho prize for the poem
was won by Mrs. G. McClurg Of Colo
RADIO, and thirty days was given the
musical competitors to submit their
scores Professor Mcclellan was n COM
petitor and his ode won the prize.
The ode was first sung at the Ogden
congress. 1t was rendered next by
the Ogden choir at the fair at Port
land in 1905. The same body Of sing
ers sang the ode at Sacramento at the
irrigation congress held in that city in
1907. Upon that occasion the rendition
of the number was grand success and
Senator Perkins personally paid the
author Of the composition a high com
plimcut for his work.
The piece was sung last year at the |
congress held at Albuquerque, \. NJ, by |
n large chorus. and at Spokane this |
year i. was again rendered, and seems |
TO have become by tacit understanding |
part of the proceedings of each sue
ceeding session of the irrigation con-
gress.
"I composed most Of the ode while
sitting at the organ in tho Salt Lake
tabernacle" " says Professor Mcclellan.
ct took me less than thirty days TO
write it. L feel flattered by the favor
able notices it has received, and think
that Mrs. McClurg of Colorado is en-
titled to great deal of credit for the
beautiful words in the piece.

FERTILE FARMS IN
NEVADA A MIRAGE
Immigrants Lured West Find
agricultural Resources" Con-
sist of POtted Palm

GOLDFIELD, March 11.-Fifty Ger
man-American farmers were detrained
a CoalJale today, expecting to find an
Eden of green grass. streams and flow
ers, which had been described to them
by agents of an alleged swindling
colonization company in San Francisco.
Instead of the paradise of verdure,
which had been pictured as the new
fatherland," they found a desolate
waste of malapai rock, Joshua trees
and sand.
Representatives of the company were
TO have met them at the station, but
as none appeared they walked dis
consolately over the sands to Blair
junction, with their desert mirage of
green pastures growing DINNER and
DINNER as they picked their way
through the sagebrush. They said they
had paid agents of the concern more
than $4,000 as the first installment of
the purchase price of their prospective
farms. Each paid $50 for his share of
the lands.
1t was not until the procession strag-
gled into Blair early this evening and
made inquiries of natives that the IL
lusions of the adVenturers were, en-
tirely banished. They were informed
that the agricultural resources of the
country consisted of an artificial palm
in a local saloon.

BECOMES AMERICAN
WEDDING DATE SET
w. P. Burke Given UItinatum

First Papers
The one Girl or Ireland-which?

The One Girl or Ireland-which?
Such was the difficult choice laid be-
fore William Peter Burke, an intense
son of Erin, capitalist and member of
San Francisco society, by his fiancee,
Miss Genevieve Walker, who before she
would set the wedding date gave out
an ultimatum that Burke would have
took out his first papers and yesterday
the date was set for August 13.
Both were visiting at the home of
Mrs Eleanor Martin about eight months
ago when they met for the first time.
Burke started in with impetuous court
ship, won the girl and cabled his father
in Dublin of his action. The match was
an agreeable one all around and an
early match was expected. Instead
there came a hitch Burke is Irish and
Miss Walker an American of Philadel-
phia, and as matter of course asked
the young Irishman to take out his
papers
Burke had no intention of doing So
For him the world moved around Dub
lin and he tried to explain the situation.
The girl held firm. He tried blarney,
but she waved him aside. He tried
every trick of his native eloquence, but
nary an inch would the girl give.
Il will not set the wedding date until
you have taken out your first papers"
she said. And Burke nearly worried
himself into nervous prostration over
the proposition. He had no particular
dislike of being an American citizen,
but he preferred remaining solely and
exclusively Irish. The engagement was
not broken but the fight did not weaken.
A short time ago Burke threw up the
sponge. He mentally bade farewell to
the green hills of his country and took
out his first papers. Thereupon the
date was set
