LAKE VALLEY AS seen
BY DOUGLAS WHITE

Douglas White. industrial agent of
the Salt Lake Route, who was one Of
the party cf railroad and University
Of Nevada officials who visited Lake
valley last week is quoted in inter
views by the Salt Lake newspapers
as follows.
You see, it's this way" observ-
ed Mr.. White, within few years
all the tillable land In Utah will be
taken up and put under cultiva-
tion' and We want to get bujy ON
land adjacent to our line In Ne
vada and get it ready for settlers.
TO keep pace with immigration to
the intermountain country it Is nee
essary t. lay our plans now.-Trib-
une.
The territory north Of Pioche Is
one of the finest untitled valleys
that lies outdoor>
1T is tributary to Salt Lake, and
will eventually furnish homes for
hundreds of industrious homestead
ers.
Lake valley is ideal SO far as wa
ter and soil conditions go. There
are 100000 acres Of land, all of it
tillable, and it can be dry farmed
because of the seasonal precipita-
ton. Water can be developed also
to irrigate one-fourth of this area
At the head of the valley are sixty
three springs, from ten feet across
TO an acre and half in surface, with
steady streams flowing from them
The surface flow has never been
measured, but it Is large and per-
manent. One of them has been sound
ed to depth of $50 feet but the
bottom was not found. These are silt.
uated on a tract Of lses than 100
acres in extent and by storage con-
servation of the waters they can
be made to deliver the goods to the
settlers.
In addition to and Independent of
this system of springs are several
| flowing streams whose waters also
can be conserved by storage. There
are several other valleys in that Sec
ton OF Nevada. all lying close to-
gether, and with conditions that par
aiiel those in Lake valley. This ter.
rltory is northwest of Phoebe.
From the way lands have been
snapped up and settled upon in
southern Utah and with the prospect
of tide of immigration as quickly
as the war in Europe is ended, there
IS no question but there will be a
pig demand fors- every acre of avail
able land in Utah and Nevada that
is susceptible to tilage' Telegram.
BY the building of the branch
there will be opened to cultivation
and settlement more than 100000 ac-
res of land in southern Nevada.
The land Is located in Lake Valley
and Is said to be most fertile. When
the branch is completed there will
be rush of settlers to the valley.
1T would have been settled before
this If there had been means of
transportation fort he settlers. We
expect that the contract for the grad.
Ing will be let in the near future. "

The Board of Trustees of Phoebe

$1,000 of the total bonded Indebtedness
of the district, which amounts to $lo,-
900. .
In order to do this, the board was

or in other words, pay the holders
Of the bonds one years interest on
the $1,000 at 8 per cent. But the
board believed it to be good business

Believing this to be an injustice,
the trustees, after a good deal of cor

The manifesto says in part:
'sWe heard much the same words
spoken in Downing street as those
spoken in Wilhelmstrasse, in Vienna
as in Petrcgrad, in Budapest as in the
Havre, where the Belgians have their
temporary government
"You are right said one minister,
sthat 1t would be OF the greatest i'm
portance to finish the eight by early
negotiations rather than by further
military efforts, which would result in
more and more destruction and irrep-
arabic loss. Yours is the sanest pro-
posal that has been brought to this
office in the last six months" said the
prime minister of one of the larger
countries.
1T has been argued that it is not
the time at present to start such a
process of negotiation. The answer
we bring is that every delay makes
more difficult the beginning of nego-
tiations, more nations become in
volved, and the situation becomes
more complicated that when at times
in the course of the war such bal
ance was struck. the neutrals were
unprepared to act.

however, we quote a remark made to
us by foreign minister Of one Of the
hellieerent powers. Neither side l.
