revised contract presented by the Utah
CONSTRUCTION company to the State
Land Board for the reclamation of
Hands under the Big Lost River project,
have become known. The board still
has the terms of the contract under con
islderatlon, but the prospects of the

what is known as the Era and Arco
tracts. 1t is proposed that this embrace
the first unit of the segregation. The
land board this morning set the hear
ing on the contract for Tuesday morn

time settlers and representatives of the
company will appear

segregation is irrigated or such part
thereof as can be furnished with two
acre feet of water. The settlers under
the first unit would have to elect to
