Will Increase Supply.


If the issue is authorized the com"
mission will proceed at once to carry
out as far as possible with S50O,OOO
the plans for water Improvement en-
braced in the report made by Sylvester
q. Cannon, city engineer, several
weeks ago. This includes the building
of storage and distribution reservoirs
new supply lines and enlargement OF
the distribution system, Water for
175000 people on the average and for
100000 at the lowest possible minimum
1ow. will be obtained with this ex-
penditure.
With the remaining 100000 the
commission will provide sewer facilities
for every street and alley in the city
not now severed, building a system
large enough to care for population
of 100000 The principal undertaking
will be the construction Of great
outlet sewer from Tenth South street
TO Eighth North street, sufficient to
carry all the sewage of the entire
southern half OF the city. This main
sewer will cost $4,000 alone. The
pIan calls for the construction OF
new pumping station, discharge pipe
line and gravity outlet canal eX.
tending from the northwestern end OF
town TO Great Salt Lake.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CLOSE
LY RELATED FOR LATIN.
AMERICAN BUSINESS
PANAMA CANAL Great help
Coast Lines of Eleven Latin
American Counties Border
on the Gulf.

The following are extracts from a
speech OF John Barrett, director
general Of the Pan-American Union,
before the Mississippi Valley Com
merclH conference at Memphis, last
week.
The Mississippi valley and its trib-
utary sections between the Alle-
Ehenies and the Rockies have a re-
markable and peculiarly advanta-
geous relationship 10 the Latin
American commercial opportunity
which is not generally appreciated.
This conference should give
punch to this relationship which
will result in practical action and
real achievement This meeting
should mark the beginning OF new
and progressive period not only IN
appreciation Of the Latin American
field, but activity in getting into that
great broad touch with its oppOrtu-
mites
Let us therefore, at the very outset,
realize the special phase of Pan
American commercial exchange OF
products when appeals directly to
this vast section represented here to-
day The figures and facts | give you
are those based upon the most recent
compilation Of the Pan-American
union.
For practical study and action let
it be understood that the Mississippi
valley has a particular sphere OF ter
ritory in Latin America which is In
many respects different from those
open to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts This sphere includes, first,
the coast line of II Latin American
countries bordering upon the Gulf Of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea. This
commercial area bears essentially the
same relationship in proximity, ship !
ping routes and markets to the Mis-
slssippi valley that the countries Of |
northern Africa and western Asia bear |
to the European countries Of the Med |
iterranean sea This coast line of II |
Mexico, Guatemala, Hon |
duras, Nicaragua, Costa RiCa, Panama, |
Colombia, Venezuela Dominican re- |
public, Haiti and Cuba-has debouch- |
ing upon 1t a population OF twenty |
millions, and last year, according to |
figures just at hand, bought and sold |
products valued at the surprising to-
tai of approximately $500. 1000, 900. |
With the new impetus coming from |
the opening OF the Panama canal, this
commerce should easily grow to
ST ,4OO,OOO,0OO during the next 10
years, and there is no valid reason
why the lssissippi valley should not
control twO-thrds OF that total in
both volume and value
Touches Western South America.
This sphere includes, secondly the
Pacific slope Of western South Amer
lea, which reaches for 1000 miles
from Panama south to Puntas Arenas

tion Of fifteen millions and conducts
