Analysis of the recent opinion by
the supreme court on the famous Jor-

day IN an announcement by the city
attorney and Ogden Hilcs, special
counsel for the city, that complete
victory was won by the city under the
opinion,
Not only arc all the contentious of
the city sustained, it is declared, but
the city may. recover $1,000 from the
defendant canal companies for money
expended in excess of the city's share
in pumping water from Utah lake.
Heretofore Salt Lake City has been
paying one-fifth the cost of pumping
operations at the Utah lake pumping
station, but has been getting only
about oue-tenth of the amount of wa
ter raised from the lake. Under tho
supreme court opinion the canal com
panics are liable to the city for the
amount thus expended in excess Of the

will have to pay only its proportionatc
share, based on the amount of water
used. This Will mean saving OF sew

BOOST INTEREST IN
UTAH FRUIT GROWING

Much enthusiasm is being shown by the
members OF the Agricultural club of the
Granite high school, composed OF aGTi-
cultural students of the first and second
years. and campaigns are to be started
in the near future TO develop a greater
interest In fruitgroWinG in the district.
Talks by prominent agriculturists OF the
state Will be the feature OF the campaign.
The proper packing of apples has been
receiving the attention of the club dur
Ing the last three days, Cnder the direc-
ton OF Professor Knudson of the Agri-
cultural college several apple cklnS
contests have been conducted. According
TO Professor knudson, the preference for
northwestern fruit over Utah fruit on
the eastern markets is due to improper
packing. The top layer In box OF Utah
fruit, he declares, does not reflect the
character OF the entire box, and. as re-
suit, the fruitgrowers OF the state are
the losers. J. c Stay. county fruit eX-
aminer. and his deputy, ]. o. Smith. have
assisted Professor Knudsou in his work
in the Granite district by practical adj
dresses
The next campaign viii be on animal
industry and will start immcdia tely after
the holidays. Addresses will be made by
experts OF the Utah Agricultural college
during evenings. so that farmers and
others Interested will have an opportunity
to attend.
