GREAT DESERT 4 MYTH

In the last Trade and Finance
letter issued by the Cooper
National bank of Satl Lake atten-
ton is called to the old tine notion
regarding the so-called great
American desert and to the fact
that sections that were once
thought available as cattle ranges
are nuw dotted with valuable
farms. Nevada has more of the
so-called desert than Utah that
only needs careful cultivation to
be made productive and profitable.
In White Pine county there is
much land that ought to be culti-
waited and some concerted effort to
be made TO attract settlers. Much
Of it could be cultivated by the
dry farming process to advantage
and it has been demonstr ted that
water can be found at shallow
depth in the valley where wells
can be drilled to obtain water for
irrigation. The opportunities
ought to be advertised in some
way and the population of the
county could be increased by q
desirable class of people. Ely

the second preliminary skirmish in
their case against the Pacific
Reclamation company yesterday
afternoon in the District Court
before Judge Quicker. When the
temporary injunction against the
Pacific Reclamation company was
granted last Saturday, the defend
ans attorneys made motion that
a stay bond be fixed pending an
appeal to the supreme court from
the order granting the injunction q.
The hearing of the motion was
continued until yesterday after.
noon, wnen the proceedings were
held before Judge Quicker, George
S. Rrown making the argument for
the motion and P. A. Hawkins
against it.
The motion was refused on the
ground that there is no appeal for
an order granting a temporary
injunction.
AS the case now stands the
injunction restraining the Pacific
Reclamation company from holding
back the waters of Bishop, Trout
and Burnt creeks, at the head of
the Humboldt, is in effect. 1t is
understood that the injunction has
beer served on the company, but it
