Products on Display.

1t was a remarkable display OF
products. Apples, prunes and plums,
grains, sugar beets and farm products.

ceptional quality. II would be hard
for any county in the state to pro-
duce better samples OF its products
than were exhibited at the fair.

to them. / intend to recommend that
the club use Its influence to get the
state to spend substantial sums for
the establishment OF first-class high
ways. The people out there fear that
they may overproduce unless they
llave the roads. and they ought not
to wait for the railroad, Good roads
would make a wide market avail
able. Today the Uintah citizens are
enduring all the hardships OF true
pioneers. They are entitled TO assist
ance, primarily because that section
Is destined TO become one OF the

TOO MUCH WATER IN CANAL
Landslide Turns Stream Into
the Culebra Out.

Washington, Aug. 29.-There is likely
to be ten feet Of water. enough TO float
good sized vessel, in the famous
Culebra Cut long before the Panama
Canal engineers calculated on turning
on the water. az result Of one OF the
numerous landsldes that have been
occurring in that section of the canal
during the last two years.
A big slide of about three hundred
thousand cubic yards of earth on the
east bank Of the cut turned into the
canal bed on August 90 a stream which
has been fowine through a special
conduit for IT, known as the Obispo
diversion. Engineers are trying to
throw temporary dixie across the cut
until the repairs can be made, but
meanwhile. in spite Of the powerful
steam pumps employed, the water is
expected 10 reach a depth Of ten feet
In q considerable section Of the cut.
