ana went out to the Holland settle
ment to inspect a survey for the extern
sion OF the irrigating canal there In
conversation with a prominent bust

Big Timber would easily secure a
splendid water supply sufficient for
both domestic use and fire protection
at cost Of between $1,000 and $4,000
The water, he said, could be taken
from the Boulder and sufficient fall
could be obtained so that there would
be no necessity for pumps or reser-
voirs. The matter will probably be
taken up by the citizens and there is
a good prospect that ere long Big Tim

ments.
