A Big IrriEafing Ditch.


A most favorable and practical phase of
the irrigation problem in connection with
the large ditch, Is the fact that at the out
LET of either lakes. Catches or kitche.as.
which are located on the headwaters OF the
Yakima dsm IN can be thrown across the
outlet, which is said to be very narrow and
favorable or canal can be dug al no very
great expense short distance giving a
deeper drainage. AS Lake Catches o IL
self covers an era OF some sx or seven miles
square. q dam which would raise this
body OF water six feet, would cover with
water six townships of land one foot deep.
which in the fail of the year when the
Yakima is low, would furnish abundance
of water for fall pasturage and also for
stock water By adopting this plan
large ditch can be kept full of
water the season through. This
plan would virtually be storage reservoir

ably cheap scale. 1t also knocks the bot

there Is not water enough in the fasima In
