We are glad indeed to note the fact
that the farmers of the East Side have
awakened to the necessity of having
water, and have determined to get it.
Incorporation articles will probably be
filed this week, the incorporatom and
stockholders being the farmers, and the
ditch will be made this fall. The in
tention is to take the water out of the
East fork of Hood river above the Stage
company's bridge, and in quantity suf-
ticient to supply all the east side. The
crops on Mr.. Cooper's place this year
have demonstrated the absolute neces-
sity of water. He brought out ditch |
last year and this year has had an
abundance of hay. Rye has yielded
two good crops of hay, and another can
be cut If he wants to do it. The GLA- !
ClER has urged the construction of
bitches ever since it started, and is glad +,
to see that the work has at last begun. |
The completion of the East Fork ditch /.
is but the forerunner of many others,
and when all are finished Hood River
valley will be u veritable orchard.
