OBJECT TO SUPPLY
MORE INFORMATION
Report Issued BY United States Geo.
logical Survey in Cooperation
With State Engineer.

An investigation of the underground
water resources of Juab, Millard, and
Iron counties, in the western part of
Uutah, has been carried on by O. E.
Meinzer, of the United States Geolog
ical Survey, in cooperation with the
state engineer, and is discussed in
Water Supply Paper 277, just issued
by the survey. The object of the work
has been of course to obtain and dis
seminate information which should
lead to greater utilization of the
ground-water supplies.
The agricultural development of an
arid section, such as this, is primarily
dependent on the amount of water
available Large tracts of fertile soil
remain idle year after year for lack
of water for irrigation, while much
water that falls as rain ad snow sinks
into the ground, saturates the porus
materials underlying the valleys and
deserts, and eventually reappears at
the surface in low alkali flats, where
it is dissipated by evaporation without
producing useful vegetation. If the
water thus lost can be applied to fer
tile soil it will substantially increase
the agricultural yield of the region.
An urgent demand for information
in regard to ground-water prospects
has been created in recent years by
the adoption of dry farming methods
in localities where water is not read
lily obtained. The water required for
culinary purposes and for supplying
the horses and traction engines used
in tilling the soil on some of the dry
farms is at present hauled long dis
tances.
In most of the arid parts of this
region watering places fany sort are
so scarce that certain sections are ac-
cessible for grazing only in the win
ter, when sheep will depend on snow
for their water supply. In some OF
these sections, according to Mr. Mein'
ger, an intelligent search would prob
ably discover ground-water. supplies
which would increase greatly the value
of the range
In tracing the early geological his
tory of the region which includes the
present Great Salt Lake, Mr. Meinzel
gives an interesting discussion of the
prehistoric Lake Bonneville, a great
inland sea which of nearly 10000
square miles, tract twice as large
as the land surface of the state o.
Maryland. The lake was 346 miles
long, measured in straight line, by
las miles wide, and its surface was
about 1000 feet above the presen
level of Great Salt Lake. The repor

GREAT FRUIT PRODUCTION
OF NORTHWEST STATES

Spokane Wash, Oct. 2.-Seven
counties in eastern Washington have
under cultivation $3.50, ,389 apple, 1,251,-
735 peach, 743, 1868 pear, 207,01S cherry,
1S2,931 prune and plum and 94,S79
apricot trees, according to reports com
piled by F. A. Huntley, state commits
sioner of horticulture. Three cOun-
ties in which the count is not yet COM
plete will, it is estimated, bring the
number of apple trees to fully 10000
600, a full crop from which would
mean about 100000 boxes or more
than the total apple production in the
United States in 1910.

pie trees four or more years old and

Walla Walla, Stevens and Benton
counties have not completed their re
ports. There are numerous large com
mercial apple orchards in the three
districts. One community project in
Stevens county already has planted
more than $4,000 two and three years

will be 1,250,000 trees on the $4,000
acres. u

Handlers estimate that the orcharc

LOSS Of LIFE IN
FLOOD DIMINISHED
State Officials Believe That Not More
Than t50 Died in Flood at
Austin Saturday.

Austin, Pa, oct Estimates Of
the loss of life in the flood that over
whelmed the town of Austin Satur-
day diminished Sunday when an army
of volunteer rescuers worked its way
into the masses of wreckage. In the
opinion of many on the ground the
number of deaths will not reach 15O,
while the less hopeful place the list of
fatalities at 300.
The property loss will exceed $4,000,
600 and it is the general opinion that
the town never will be rebuilt. Two
at least of the large plants, will not
be reconstructed, and a majority of
the business men of the place have
been ruined Financially.
State officials in charge of the situa-
tion, after a hasty canvass of the pop
ulatiOn have expressed the belief that
not more than $50 are dead Only
sixteen bodies have been recovered at
a late hour last night Chief of Po-
llCc ~. T. bdhClS llONtNtIs bIilCNCS
that fully 800 are dead or missing

been found.
A battalion of state police then sur
rounded the town and no person with
out a pass was permitted to enter.
! Reports from Costello and points
further down the SinnemahOning grew
more encouraging as the day advanc-
ed At Costello while there was a
heavy financial loss, it was said that
no more than three persons were
dead. Beyond that point no fatalities
had been reported.
The survivors will not suffer from
hunger or lack of medical aid as the
supplies and medical assistance rush
ed to the scene seem ample. e. f.
Bicknell, national director of the ma
tionad Red Cross, also arrived yester-
day bringing with him $4,000 in cash
for immediate aid to the flood victims.
OF the eight injured in the hospitals,
none is hurt fatally.
The homeless all have been provid-
, ed with shelter. On the outskirts of
/ Austin are a number of houses which
| were vacated by workers in the Good
] Year mill whe nthat plant was dis
: mantled The houses have been filled
with homeless people. The residents
d of Heating Summit have taken in the
others, several hundred in number.
Many evidences of the tremendous
. power of the flood were seen yester
. day by the workers in the town. En-
gines weighing 25 tons had been rolled

e hopper was carried a half mile ant
thrown through the side of a house
