The soil is a fine sandy loam with a depth of 80 feet in some' sections This depth is determined by a well that was sunk for water to sup ply a pumping plant. Some wells there are only 8 feet deep and they have a good permanent supply for culinary use. ' The land now is being reclaim ed. Several hnudred acres have been cleared and some crops planted. The virgin soil is cov ered with a heavy growth of sage brush ranging in heighth from two to eight feet. The New Castle Land company has secured 20,000 acres. A hotel has been built and several new cottages. The tract is fenced and by means of a storage reser voir and a canal, it will be placed under irrigation. Hundreds of home seekers are investing there, and the railroad is prepar ing to build to the new townsite next year, spring of 1914. The climate is about like the climate of Brigham City.. It is higher and the atmosphere much light er, hence tne cold is not so op pressive. The water will be on the land in time .for irrigation and already plowing is begun. Mr.Brackon, formerly of the Raymond-Bracken Auto com pany of Salt Lake, is' on tfie ground with automobiles to, es cort hoMweakers ove the tract. He also has a large gasoline plow and ditcher and is kept Very busy on the project. , With the development of the lands of Utah several hundred thousand farmers are wanted. Not only in Iron county is this true but in Boxelder, county al so. Several thoasandiacres cov ered with dull grey sage, in Box elder county, are waiting for the magic hand of industry and there is no need of any man being idle. Nature's wealth-is begun for development in Utah and Utah's sons should do their por tion of the work. We, too often, wait until it is too late, then complain about strangers secur ing the cream. Fertile lands, marble quarries, rich mines and other great things are open be fore the young man of Utah. . ...-.

T. Jones of this city to Salt Lake City, the San Pedro railroad officials have submitted a proposition to the people of Cedar City for the construction of a branch line to this place. The railroad company agrees to furnish the steel rails neces sary to construct the line, and two gasoline compartment cars for use on the road, if the people will do the required grading and furnish the ties. The matter has been referred to the Commercial Club and will be thoroughly investigated be fore any conclusion is reached. -"" ' ' ' M. ,H The Beaver Press is the latest paper in this section to bewail the fact that Cedar City has se cured a Carnegie library, and in an article in the last issue says that Beaver is ''just as able and just as deserving" as Cedar City.
