At that little town in Utah, they sub-divided a tract Into,, 10 and C-acre tracts. - Then there waa nothing but barren land. Now there are six canneries; and homes on every tract. He predicted that in less than five years Sandrldge land will be selling at $500 per acre. t'n use of Apple Sl;frta;r. C. D. Huffman was the ncr: Quak er. He affirmed that onc-fourth of the apple shortage this year ws due to the lack of water. He wt-nt Into the great benefits to alfalfa growing of application of water, using practical Illustration and conservative figures carefully compiled to prove his state ment. "I have be-n up the site where the dam for this Irrigation scheme Is to be put in," said the speaker, "and it looks so easy that I marvel because It has not been don't; before." Coming back again to alfalfa growing, he said: "My first alfalfa cutting this year was one ton per acre. I borrowed some water and cut two tons the next cutting." These and other facts were forcibly presented. Assessor T. A. Rlnehart, being called upon, reviewed' the evolution of this county from apersonai experience of 40 years, as to how the county ad vanced from the pioneer porlod to thr railroad, and -the other natural chang es, "until now we have avrlved at th irrigation age, and It is up to us to solve It the same as It is being solved In other Intelligent communities." Attorney J- T. Hlnkle ot- Umat'lUi county, was In the audience, and he was called upon by the president to give a little testimony regarding Irtl gatlon, as he had spent several yearr on a project bearing his name the Hinkle Ditch company adjoining th thriving little city of Echo. He spokv as one with authority, but not kno-v lng local. conditions, could not under stand how we could cover such a larg acreage with such little Investment. TIio Plan of Organization. x Following the oratory, the plan cf tne committee was presemeu, wnicn recommends an organization with a capitalization of 1600,000, divided Into 30.000 shares, with a par value of tin and each share to represent sufficient water to Irrigate one acre of land.. The report also recommended that the , subscription books be kept open until April , 1909, and after that time the board of managers can fix the price of stock. ' Eleven Thousand Acres Secured. The c orrtmlttee reported In thr neighborhood of 11,000 acres subscrib ed up to the hour of making the re port, and Is confident that the tota: amount reached will not fall beloW 15,000 acres. Great IiitercHt Manifest. As we go to prrgs Judge T. H. Craw ford is commenting on the report of the committee. There is a much larger attendance than when the meeting be gan at 2 o'clock. Of course, not all of the 11,000 acres subscribed are rep resented this afternoon, but undoubt edly many thousands of acres of land will be transferred from the prelim inary to the 'official list.

Four men were killed and over a score narrowly escaped under an avalanche of snow sweeping the Camp Bird mine at Ouray. ' Forty horses were burled under tons of debris. Emll Johnson was burled, but was dug out by a dog. The case which was held before Re colder Cox attracted no small amount of attention. Last evening Anderson, through his attorneys, C. H. Finn and C.1 E. Cochran, demanded a Jury, and this morning the following Jurors were selected: J. R. Oliver, R. W. Logan, F. B. Halsten, A. V. Oliver, Tt. C. P. Charlton and Harry U. Mers. City Attorney J. F. Baker and Dis trict Attorney F. S. Ivanhoe conducted the prosecution. In as much as this is ihe first cas for violating the local option law un der the city ordinances. It U receiving more than ordinary attention. The chief witness, Cole, .-wore positively that he. In company v. ith three other men, walked into the Palace saloon, ordered the drinks a. id a pint bottle of liquor, paying 80 eei.ts for the same. The city expected to have the three leggers who, Cola said, were his guests at the bar, a witnesses, but they could not be fouiji this moan ing, evidently having boarded a train during the night. When the defense took the witnoss for cross-examination, another series of verbal battles ensued. By repeated attempts, the defense wanted to show that the attempt to procure the liquor was premedlfated whatever bearing that might have with the Jury would be hard to ascertain. The court over ruled the objections to the almost end less flank movements. In his rulings the court held that the trial was to as certain whether or hot Anderson sold ll'iuor to the witness. Cole. Cole was collected and at no time did the de fense shake his story, which related In detail, the buying of the "drinks" for Anderson and himself, the purchuse of a pint bottle of whisky, taking it U. the chief of police, and the latter locking the bottle up for safekeeping, after proper labels had been attached. The bottle was In evidence as exhibit A. Almost the entire afternoon wim ta ken up with the cross-examination of Cede, the star witness for the proi-ci-tio.i. TJiough the defense rriei by eevry means possible to tangle the lt ne and cause him to doubl- on bis track, he flood firm and told his story, when perrr.-tt-d to 1o so, without once mm CASE DRAdS !"

To tho great amusemfi; of too- snctators the attorneys ''indulged in considerable word fighting, and had there been a referee to award the decision so far as their personal sparring match was concerned, he would have been com pelled In justice to all parties, to have announced a draw, with all parties In splendid condition to continue the contest until morning. As we go to press there Is no Indication that the case will be given to the Jury before some time next week, as from present Indications the attorneys have discov ered the secret of perpetual motion, and there does not seem to be any one making an effort to stop the wheels of justice. , Chief of Police Walden was also on the stand and substantiated in every detail the story told by Cole, wherein Walden was a part. At 3:30, Robins, the star witness for the defense, was put on the stand.
