Last Friday night brake thirty
feet wide was made in the levee Of the
Payette Valley ditch on II. B. Bakers
place about four miles south OF EN-
nett. The injury was caused by the
mischievous gopher operating in the
bank. The ditch walker happened 10 be
early at the place and made strenuous
attempt to stop the brake. and while do

gophers will make no more holes. The
damage will soon be repaired and the
big ditch will flow on as usual.
