Another biz washout under one of
the pump houses. easing about 600
acre-feet of water daily to take an
undercurrent route back into the lake,
is the cause of the trouble.

rigation water is supplied from this
source, will he without water for n
few days until the big gang can re-
pair the dame ge, says W. A. Knight
A dirt dam across the river about
forty yards above the pumps Is being
scraped in by teams, When the cur
rent Is shut of big stakes will be
driven into the mud where the leak
is located and tons o. rocks will be
thrown against the boards,

thorized the construo ton Of new

AMERICAN FORK BOY
NOW COAL IMPORT
Err IN ARGENTINA

Tha Deseret News had the follow
ing in Saturdays issue concerning
one of American Forks boys, sent as
special correspondence.
Washington, ID. c., Aug 25-J. H.
Wootton of American Fork, late vice
consul in the American consulate at
Buenos Aires. Argentina, surprised all
his friends here when he registered
at the Washington hotel and called his
friends to meet him. When asked
about Y. s. Amusson Of Salt Lake,
who left with him In the spring to
enter the consular service Wootton re-
marked that Ted" was taking care of
GUINNESS interests in South America.
Ted and have left the consular
service" said Mr.. Wootton. at only
took us a few weeks to size things up
in Argentina end we are now en-
gagged in he coal importing business.
when we arrived in Argentina we
found the people there burning corn
cobs and wood. Even the railroads
are being fuelled with wood and corn
cobs. This state OF things made us
figure and we figured fast enough to
interest a wealthy Aygentinian in a
large scale coal importing venture
which, he says, Will make the bust
ness highly profitable.
Argentina has no coal OF her own
Mr.. Wootton continued. Heretofore
England was the largest exporter but
by the new law passed by parliament
English exporters are prohibited from
sending their coal out Of the country
During tho past year Argentina has
imported 100000 tons of coal and
with England out of the market this
large scale of expectation of coal to
Argentina Is largely up to the United
States
Mr.. Wootton Is in the states" on
business. Being one Of the three
partners with a third interest in the
coal venture he is here to go to New
York, where he will get up contract
with one of the big houses for 300,-
900 tons of coal. Coal sells for 1923
and $24 ton In Argentina, he says.
Mr.. Woottcn Is full Of praise for the
excellent business opportunities In
South America. There Is plenty of
money and man with something
good to sell can get some OF II. The
New York City National bank branch
at Buenos Aires alone has 100000
900 on deposit. he said.
with the Introduction OF coal into
Argentina on large scale America
can do South American business on
even larger scale than ever before
concluded Mr.. Wootton. "The peo-
pie want coal and they are willing to
spend their money TO get IT,"

Dr.. Charles A. McAlpine, one Of the
leaders Of the Baptist victory cam
pafEn fund, who announced Thursday
that he favored the formation OF
union OF ministers who receive not
more than $500 a year, said:
The situation is serious. Leaving
out Of consideration the Baptist min
istors in our large cities who receive
salaries which enable them to meet
the cost Of living, the average pay
received by preachers in our denom-
ination is S1.S7 a day.
1T stands to reason that no man
can support himself. his wife, and
his children on such q pittanee.
