he advances in reference to what might

an advocate of the establishment of a
perfect democracy in America.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
SUPPORT IS EARNEST

With the avowed intention Of lending
all possible moral support to the plans
of the projected Utah Conservation oom.
pany, and with no anticipation OF any di-
rect benefit other than that which shall
accrue to the state in general, the Com
mercial club of salt Lake City yesterday
sent out to the farmers OF Davis and
Weber counties a strong letter indorsinl
the project and urging Immediate accept
ance OF any ono of the numerous plans
proposed to carry 1t to successful com
pletion.
1t is pointed out that much work has
already been done by men who are noted
for their broad minds and public spirit
that large sum of money has already
failure Of the movement now depends
upon the attitude and action Of those
who must In the end reap the benefits of
the gigantic enterprise.
Various individuals may at different
times In years gone by have conceived
the thought that SO much water that
could be made available for irrigation,
essential to the agriculturlst In Utah,
had been allowed for many years to SO
absolutely to waste but IL was at q meet
Ing held by prominent citizens OF Utah In
the Commercial club during mid August
OF last year that tho idea first took defi-
mite and concrete shape.
The plan which gradually developed into
tangible form included the impounding
waters that sought and found the lake
level as the heat OF spring and early
summer transformed the mountain SHOWS
into raging torrents And these waters
which might be conserved find their way
into Great Salt lake at time where
their value is a negative quantity
Conservative estimates made by the
most capable experts that money can
hire, place the land in Davis and Weber
counties that Is now arid but which
could be reclaimed were the food waters
OF the Weber river properly impound ed
at more than $4,000 acres. All of this
land Is now virtually valueess being
used only for range purposes. yet With
the required amount OF water Il could be
mado to yield abundant harvests each
year.
On project OF such magnitude It was
at once realized that plans for extensive
work could not be made without care
full Investigation. and It Is stated by
those best informed that approximately
100000 has been expended in deterrnin
Ing for certainty the feasibility of the
project. It Is conservatively estimated
that the completion OF the Davis Weber
project will involve an expenditure con-
sideraby in excess OF s.. 500. 900, and the
promoters OF the enterprise have In yIew
the CARRYING out OF similar plans for the
reclamation OF land In the south portion
OF Salt Lake county and the north end
OF Utah county, although this phase OF
the question is ono TO be taken up at a
Iater date.
