The Lehi Department
BUILD UP HOME
INSTITUTIONS

Lehi citizens own thirty-two auto
mobiles, all of which indicates that
the town has some prosperity If all
of them were brought to one garage
when in need Of repair, and their sup
plies were purchased at the same
place, that garage would have to en-
ploy several men.
Lehi has a garage that can do al
most anything that any other shop
can do, and do II better than ninety
per cent of them do do 1t, yet It is
said that over one half Of the support
that is given to the local garage comes
from outside auto owners, American
Fork and Salt Lake City. This con-
dition should be remedied, and not
only the garage but all other business
and tradesmen should be given Lehi's
full support. II this were done, there
would be more money scattered
among us all.

A New Supply
Of Irrigation Water

The Bone Brothers have this week
Bone farm In the old field and have
secured about one second feet OF wat
er flowing continuously The drain
averages about four feet deep and
seems to have struck an underground
stream. The water is flowing down
into Jordan River.
This has led some OF our citizens
to venture the assertions that there
is a cheap and easy method of sup
plying Lehi with all the water that
this locality may need for irrigation
purposes
There is n condition maintaing IN
many parts of the old field similar
TO that of the Bone farm. This sub
terranean stream may be obtained ut
depth of from three to six feet over
an area of thousands of acres of the
best land in Lehi II II could not be
gotten to the surface at convenient
places. II is easily possible to run
drain a half mile to common stump
and then elevate IL six feet to the
surface with an electric pump at a
very low cost,
There Is an area of several hundred
acres lying between 4, X. Jones
home and the canning factory and
west where the water is so close TO
the surface that one may almost dip
II by hand from surface wells. In
dications are that by digging six
foot drain for half mile, the lower
end near n T. Johnson's home would |
supply good irrigation stream which |
could be pumped six feet into Lehi's |
main irrigation system,
The subsurface water under hun |
dreds of acres of land near the homes
of Leonard Peterson and John Wing |
is but two and one half feet from the
surface. survey from Leonard Pet
erson's home shows that drain could
be brought to the surface by taking
II south COO or 500 feet Indications
are that a half mile drain here would
produce AN irrigation stream, as
drain from the cellar of the Coop
store produces nice little stream
that flows the year round. This wat
er could be made to irrigete a part OF

fleet Of German liners tied up at Hobo
ken and Brooklyn docks would soon
put to sea. Steam was upon all the
ships. However, since the liners first
tied up. the boats have maintained
steam so that the vessels could put out
from their docks in case Of fire.
Few of the vessels at Hotcken have
any considerable amount Of coal on
board. At Brooklyn the Pisa and the
General Grant both we're amply sup
piled with coal. Custom officials have
been stationed at all docks where Ger
