of the irrigated section of the west

cost of such work will be many
times repaid in the increase in guam
tity and quality of the crops raised.
A very prominent sugar magnate

cause the project lies in Cache VAL

the land. That fact in itself makes
the assertion true, but the facts re-
garding the project itself emphasize
the correctness of their judgment.
The list of advantages to be found
in Richland Acres reads like
farmers Christmas wish rather than
an actually. Electric lights, heat
and power; telephones. schools. tile
drains, splendid flowing wells, irri-
cation water that costs 12c an acre;
meadows that make ideal pastures:
hay land that produces wonderful
crops; beet land within a mile or so
of the factory: dairy land within
an equal distance of a condensed
milk factory; soil of great depth and
fertility; and Logan. the best city in
Northern Utah and Southern Idaho.
only three miles away, where the
Utah Agricultural College can be
reached for the young boys and
girls who seek higher education.
In short. Richland Acres offers all
the advantages of splendid farming

and a number of the most important
advantages of city.

of attention in this valley, but al
most an equal interest has been dis
played in engineering and drainage
centers of the country.
Some of the features of engineer
ing that have been attempted sue
cessfully are the reasons for this in
terest, and the further success is 60
ing to be followed with an even
greater interest because of it's bear
ing upon future drainage in the
west. One of the machines employ
ed on the work has also added a
great deal of interest in the project.
That is the Baer machine, made by
a Utah man. 1t cut on an average
of 1900 feet per day of eight hours
when the weather allows operating
at all. No other machine in the
country has done such remarkable
work and so consistently 1t has
attracted men from all over the
country because of its great perfor-
nance.
The system of tile drainage rs in
stalled in Richland Acres is working
in splendid fashion. Large streams
of water are draining off the land
from the four units of construction
Although all the work is not finish
ed the drainage is going on in those
units that are finished regardless of
the state of the others. This is the
special value of the four unit sys-
TEN. The country is not drained by
one large outlet but by four. each
distinctly separate from the others.
| 1t is this feature that commends the
project so favorably to drainage en-
gineers.
What is drainage doing down
there" is frequent question ask
ed the management by farmers in
terested in the undertaking. First.
| IL is taking OFF the surplus water and
lowering the water table. Few far
mers realize the value of low water
| table in the soil. 1t means an in
creased area for plants in which to
| find food it allows roots to strike
down into the soil farther: it keeps
| the ground warmer because of the
absence of standing water that fills
the pores of the soil; it allows the
air to enter the soil; it draws off
injurious salts in the upper por-
tions of the soil,' and distributes
those salts elsewhere. Second, drain
age Is removing waste irrigation
water, a cause for many of the ills
of farming in irrigated sections
Thirdly, 1t Is making the district
sanitary in that it removes swamps
and marshes and draws off heavy
rains. Fourthly, 1t is making the
cost of farming much less, because
the ground will be drier earlier In
the Spring which will allow the far
mer to getaunder way with his work
This dryness will make the roads
and fields easier to cross and easier
to handle in every way. What drain
age is doing could be be answered
by pointing out what has been don,
in hundreds OF places throughout tn,
United States, and that would take
too long time. This much Is Ger

BANDITS FoILED IN ATTEMPT TO
GET BREWERY co.'s $4,000
PAYROLL.

m ! NULL
The most daring of any Of the re-
cent Saturday payroll hOldups was
frustrated today and an attempt to
get away with a satchel containing
$4,000 proved failure.
John LaffeTty was taking the
satcheI full of coin in a horse buggy
from the Continental & Commercial
bank to Fortune Bros brewery, 418
w. Val Buren, st. Just as Lafferty
was about to turn into Van Buren,
from Desplaines St, four bandits in
an automobile ran the machine into
the buggy.
The buggy overturned. Three men
jumped from the machine and tried
to wrest the satchel from Laferty's
grasp.
Two of the Fortunes witnessed
the attack from a window of the
brewery Office. They ran to Lafferty's
assistance. The robbers fed.
One of the fleeing men ran into
the saloon of Ryan & Simmons, Hal
sted and Van Buren,. The saloon
was full of men, but it is said the
man pulled a gun and ordered them
all to stand along the wall Patrol
man Woodward and Traffic officer
Ryan entered the saloon, one from
the front, the other from the rear,
and captured the man after several
rounds of shots on both sides with no
injuies. At Desplaines st. station he
give his name as Ed Shiffen.
