PROJECT OUTLINED !
I ST MEETING
The executive committee of the
Utah Water Storage association de
cided at a meeting held in its offices!
I in the capitol yesterday, tn recommend I
! that for ihe time being efforts be eon-
centrnted on the development of stor-
age facilities in the Weber river. It I
was estimated that by ihe expenditure,
of $4. ", "00 some 60,000 acre-feet of
, water could be stored in Echo canyon
and conducted to W eber and DavU
counties by a canal that would be
; L'28 feet hlger than the Davis and We
ber counties main canal. This Would
'enable the irrigation of the entire
"rand ridge" country, and the water
could be brought dow n in Davis county
ihrough such a canal to a point not far1
from CenterviUe. By development of
small storage reservoirs in Bountiful'
canyon sites for which have not been
invcsikated- or by other means, it Is
believed that virtually all the land in
Davis county that can be economically
Irrigated could be brought under wa
ter, The committee will recommend that
charges he made against the counties
or ii ligation districts taking advant
agi i the investigations so lar of thei
association. Tor the expenses incurred
by the commit tee. In this manner tho !
sum ot more Cinn $12,000, which has
already been expended, could come
back to the association and be usi ii as
a sort of revolving fund for further
investigations.
It was decided by ihe committee to
call a general meeting of the associa
tion for Thursday, January S, at 2:U"
o'clock in thea fternoon, al which'
lime it is expected thai ihe full re-!
port of the engineers of the associa
tion will have been prepared and the
latest and most accurate infoi niation
will have been digested and gotten into
ihe form of dollars and cents and acre

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Mead Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness, or who are growing hard of
i hearing and have head noises will be j
glad to know that this distressing af '
flictlon can usually be successfully ,
Heated at home by an internal medl j
cine that in many instances has effect
ed complete relief after other treat
ments have failed. Sufferers who'
could scarcely hear have had their
hearing restored to such an extent mat j
n-iv ui :i nnmi n as yilllll iiuue
ble seven' or eight inches away from
either ear Therefore, if you know of j
someone who is troubled With head
'noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out )
l h is formula and hand it to them and j
you may have been the means of sav;
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can be
prepared at home and is made as tol
lows Si i ure from your druggist 1 oz. Par
mint (double strength ) Take this
home and add to it , pint of hot
Water and a little granulated sugar,
stir until dissolved. Take one table-1
spoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the In
flammation and swelling in the Bus
achian Tubes, and thus to equalize the
air pressure on the drum, but to cor
rect any excess of secretions in the
middle ear, and the results it gives are
in .iris always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form, or distressing, rumbling,
hissing sounds in their ears, should
n- this recipe a trial. Advertise
, ment.
