Much Land
Being Prepared
for 1913.
IMPROVEMENTS BEGIN

Last week Ephraim Crofts who
has been making his home at Bur
ley for some time past bought
the John Cooper ranch on the
Island, paying $4,000 an acre
for same. He has already moved
onto his new home and will do
extensive cultivation the coming
year.
Hill Bros. formerly of Utah are
also doing great deal of work
on their land on the project; they
have cleared 100 acres and ex-
pect to have another 16O cleared
and ready for seeding next
spring.
They will also stock their ranch
with cattle as soon as they get it
in shape to care for them.
Mr.. Chas. Crist who also has
land on the project near the
Warm Greek has a goodly part
of it in grain this year and it is
expected that he will raise from
1900 to 1000 bushels of grain
this year without water.
A Mr.. Masters has also 100
cleared and about one-half of it
plowed and the remainder he
will have ready for seed by the
time the season is here for it.
In all parts of the project there
is considerable activity in prepar-
ing the land tor next spring S
crops. The dam is progressing
rapidly and everything will be in
readiness for the turning of the
water on the land next year.
In fact there was only about
fourteen or fifteen fee. of water
used from the amount of water
stored leaving about a. feet still
remaining IN the dam of the
amount held this year, and as
the dam was not sufficiently high
this spring to hold much of the
water that came down ic looks
as if the storage capacity would
be filled with the winter SHOWS
and rams before the spring flush
come, guaranteeing a surplus
next year again.
Men who have taken land On
this project are more than pleas
ed with the unexcelled quality o,
land they have and most all are
making extensive preparations
to seed heavily the coming spring
No more encourageing outlook
could be before any people thar
is before those on this project.

Irrigation Congress
Opens the 3Oth.

The National Irrigation Con-
gress opens its sessions IN the
Salt Lake Tabernacle on Septem-
ber the 3Oth inst, and will con-
tinue for four days ending Oct.
3rd From the reports sent it
looks as it the congress will be
the most interesting ever held in
the history of the organization.
In holding this session in Salt
Lake it celebrates the 21st birth
day of the congress in the same
place that it sprang into exist
ence. Utah is known as the
birthplace of irrigation and it is
fitting that the event should be
held there.
A great many attractions of
worth are prepared for the weeks
entertainment consisting of the
congress which will last four
days; the semi-annual conference
of the Church and the Utah state
fair all OF which promise to be
record breakers IN numbers and
quality.

portance to irrigation, and aces

"A Network of
Wires.

We are in receipt this week of
a map from the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Co., of
Denver. showing the extent of
their work in building telephone
lines in seven Of the western
states, Wis; Idaho, Utah, Monta-
ma. Colorado, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Wyoming. Every city of
note in all these seven states are
connected up so that communica-
ton is easy with them. The map
is very serviceable to the public
s. - 81 .S b,ecause of the informa-
Y - $FHf IS as to the points

-.ecessary on many

In fact ir looks as if the west
was made up of network of
wires owned principally by the
Mountain States people i'll the
seven states referred to and in
eastern centers it would appear
more SO.
While it is evident this COM
pany is not doing this work for
charity sake at the same time it
means more than at first conceiv-
ed; the wonderful aid to the pub
lic i'll transporting information
of an important kind; the conve-
nience In doing SO and the rapid
ity afforded; it also shares a por-
ton of the taxes of each state
and above all it is one Of those
great utilities of the masses that
help make a greater and bigger
country. Without it in this ad.
vanced day a city or people
would beconsidered away behind
the times and they would be.
No place can become of any
note at all without the telephone
the telegraph. and electricity. In
fact, there are few people who de-
sire advancement that would
locate in a place where they knew
these conveniences could not be
had consequently the place could
not become of any note or inn
portance.
The map is for general distribu-
ton and can be had by calling on
the company for them.

Tinker Of Course. Loved HE Neighbor

the other day IN New York.
There are too many E~ngliahmen-

velop. in the presence of a lord, a
painful and unnatural modesty. Their
modesty reminds me OF a village tim

This tinker had a rather crusty
disposition, and his pastor said to him
one day.
My man, you should love your
neighbor as yourself
Yes. sir, said the tinker.
"But the pastor had ia mind a nasty
black eye that the tinker had given
the bricklayer next door, and so he
went on.
