A GOOD WATER PLAN.

There will be presented TO the City
Council tonight proposition for new
high line water delivery for the north
bench on the east side of City Creek
| The proposition is to take out the water
at an elevation 270 feet above the pres
ent high line elevation, delivery to be
on street AS the present high line de-
livery is also; but at present at the cor.
ner of n and Thirteenth streets the
point of flow is only 20 feet lower than
the intake of the pipe, affording no
force and affording no supply to the
north of that point.
The plan is to have delivery through
an eighteen-inch pipe taking the water
out at point 270 feet more elevated
than the present point of delivery. and
connect it with the water pipe system
at street with the pipe lines Of the
city. This will give pressure far
greater at any given point than is now
possible, and it will reinforce and
strengthen the water system of the city
throughout. In connection with this.
there is natural reservoir capable of
holding 100000 gallons of water,
with the construction of small con-
crete dam, and the capacity of this res
ervoir can easily be increased to 40
100000 gnllons This at a point suf-
ficicntly high to be utilized in the pres.
sure of the main new line.
1t is no doubt quite within conserva-
tive lines to say that the city can, with
this higher delivery of water, bring into
market and sell far more than enough
OF It's land higher on the bench, TO
pay the cost of this improvement; and
this would add picturesque and sub
stantial growth to the city.
This new system will be of the high.
est advantage and utility to the whole
city. 1t is Il part of the system con
templated when the water bonds were
voted, and will complete the water i'm
provements that were contemplated at
that time
II is Of the utmost Importance to get
this work speeded along so that the con.
crete work at the dam can be put in
while the water is low and while the
is such as to be favorable
to the adVancement Of the work.
The Affirmative action of the Council
will be asked at this time in order that
advantage may be taken of the season
so that the work may be well forward
ed and properly set without delay.
Work done at a disadvantageous sea-
son is less satisfactory and more costly
than work done when the season is pro
pitious as it is now, and when there is
the right time within which to do this
work.
Accordingly we trust that there will
be united consensus of opinion that
will allow this work to be begun with
out delay, and 10 be pushed under the |
most favorable auspices to its compile
ton.

THREE MORE cARNAL ssWELLs'

There are three other elders who de

polygamists, the which is growing tc

In the year 1903 there came to
Chuac chupa, Mexico. Il new convert
named Eccles. He came from Okla

baptized He was q married man. and

young woman who had also been con

Elder Eccles got into the polygamous
atmosphere of the Mexican Mormon
colony than he ''partook of the
spirit, y and also of second wife, in
the person OF the young woman who
had accompanied the family from Okla.
homa There is now quite a family Of
little ones as the result
Elder John A. Humphrey lived in
Salt Lake in the year 1898, and he
took unto himself one of the Young
sisters as a second wife. There was
too much talk about the matter among
the Mormon people here, however, and
Elder Humphrey took his family to
Dublan, Mexico. While living there
the first wife left him. This was
in the year 1902; and being thus rid
of one woman. he came back to Salt
Lake, where he resides at the present
time. Although he is now living in
monogamy Cor supposedly is doing) he
is entitled to recognition, for he "lived
his religion once. at least
Elder NJ. Durfey has been four times
an offender since the manifesto. He
lives at Dublan. Mexico. and it was the
heretofore first wife of Elder Humphrey
that Elder Durfey took as his fourth
plural; so that from first place with her
former husband Mrs. Humphrey went
TO fifth with Elder Durfey.
Surely when the first presidency of
the Mormon church said that there
were but ''few sporadic cases. of
new polygamy within the organization.
the statement must have been untrue.
