The WORK GOES RIGHr ALONG.
Il Cessation IN he CONSTRUCTION q The Big
Canal light Additional Aila 10 be
Built This Winter.

The HERALD last week published the
statement that work on the big ditch Of
the N. P. Yakima 4 Kittitas Irrigation
company would be suspended for the
winter. The publication was made on
the statement Of Contractor J. L. Smith,
who was preparing to withdraw his force
and pay of his men. Messrs Katz L
Smith he'd been unable to get instructions
10 proceed with the work beyond the
seventeen miles Of canal then completed,
and were making arrangements to close
down when the glad tidinGs were receiv-
ed from headquarters authorizing the
continuation Of the work through the
winter, and the completion Of the 26
mile contract.
KATE 4 Smith had fine force Of men
OF work and they were reluctant to sus-
pend operations 90 the news was as graft
flying to them as 1t was to all Of our
citizens who have been greatly benefited
through the large amounts Of money ex-
pended here by the contractors and the
laborers.
Chief Engineer @. R. lockwood when
seen BY The HERALD representative stat
cd that the present strength Of employed
men would be continued, and that 1t
would consume all Of the time up to the
FIRST Of March to complete the eight
miles Of contract remaining unfinished.
As to the work after that nothing definite
Is known, but 1t Is the present intentions
Of the company to keep right along with
the construction Until the entire system
Is finished. Water will not be turned into
the canal until March as there will be
no need for 1t before that time, and there
will be less danger Of breakage to the en-
bankments when cured by winters settl-
Ing.
The company 10 disposing Of much
land along the line Of the ditch and even
beyond that portion Of present con-
structed, which In itself Is the strongest
guarantee that there will be no cessation
Of work, a. the contracts provide that
the land shall be watered. E. F. Ben
son, who handles the company's lands,
was in the city early this week and while
in conversation with q HERALD reporter,
ln the Office Of this paper, said that in the
neighborhood Of ten thousand acres had
been disposed Of. The sales were mostly
Of twenty and forty acre tracts and had
been made largely to practical farmers
and horticuIturalists who would begin the
work Of improvement with the opening Of
spring. Many railroad men have also
made purchases, they looking upon the
investment in the same light a. they do
life insurance policy on the tontine prin.
ciple. Among the recent purchases Of 40
acre tracts have been Frank Cardin, gen.
eral superintendent Of the N. P. Elevator
