The Water Problem.

REDMOND. Sewer Co., Oct. 2l.-The
irrigation problem Is being faster
solved In SEWER county than In any
other region ia Utah. Besides ihu

Reservoir company, there Isl project
on foot to establish reservoir Ia Gfast
valley ut the junction OF otter ofoek
aud the east FORK u Sewer river, Piu,e
county, where there 10 almost natural
reservoir. The construction OF q short
dam would cover vast area with
water, holding enough IN reserve TO
irrigstv all the land that could be
reached from this point In Piuto aud
SEWER counties, bringing In some Of
the best land In the districts. aud max.
inR homes iot thoussDJs.
The SEWER Valley Canal company
who have now constructed n canal
from tits soutn emu Of the county IT,

construction reservoir up ons fork Of
Clear creek, where they are IN hopet
OF securing water auiilcient TO prevent
tho stoeknollers from suffering anu
losing their crops. The extension Of
this canal for ten 10 fifteen miles would
bring In n vast lot OF good land that IL
unclaimed today; but l hoar that par.
lies are entering upon 1t quite rapidly,
LDd would warn the people ui Sewer

vatsd Inis year. rne people OF Ana.
bella are constructing n reservoir In
the mountains on the creek that comes
into that place from tue East.
At GienwOod they could easily con.
s,tuct u reservoir thst would hold baoa
tue water that supplies thai
town. The water rises on toe
hills above the town and
former pretty little lake which
10 surrounded with high hills. whil,
thV water escapes through u narrow
rock.bound channel that could eAsily
be stopped with rock wall at but =
small Gust ana sfeatly Increase theii
| Irritation facilities,
These contemplated Improvements
will give Hn abundance of water q
thtse localities, while Saiina has o
reservoir under construction up the
canyon that will increase the watol
supply for that place, and parties la
tefsslrd have taken up the land over
the hills 10 the south Of that tow
where the high water anu u supply
from this reservoir will be used. Th'
success OF tho rerorvoir at GunnisoI
has greatly encouraged this part Of thu
country. and In NY next l viii give I
description OF II and n history OF ~
construction.
The people OF Utah are Interested In
the construction Of canals and TeseT
voirs, as hsr future growth largely us
penis on the success in this line.
