THE FLOODS.

The recent heavy rains and con-
seqnent floods have demonstrated
the fact that something must be
done for the protection of our
towns and farms from food waters.
Six or seven years ago the San
Simon was no larger than small
ditch; to-day il becomes a raging
river, cutting off all communion
ton with the county seat whenever
heavy rains fall. There are other
small washes that are becoming
greater with each succeeding
storm. 1t is appearant that some
steps must be taken TO divert this
water into channels so that it will
run to the river without spreading
over the whole country and wash
ing out gillies indiscriminately.
If a channel had been cut for the
purpose of carrying the San Simon
water direct to the river, six O,
seven years ago, instead of attempt
ing to divert it along the county
road no difficulty would be ex-
perenced with it at this time, and
1t wodld have cost no more than did
the grading of the road, which so
far, has been practically thrown
away.
We understand that the directors
of the Montezuma canal have
made proposition to the directors
of other companies whose canals
are crossed by this stream to take
steps for the controlling of this
water. 1t is rather late for such
move, but it is better late than
never. The directors of the diff
ferent companies should meet and
devise the best means of carrying
this water direct to the river, with
the fact in view that the cheapest
plan is not always the best. If
a channel was cut from the depot
direct to the river, bridging it
where it crosses the county road,
we believe 1T would not be long
until all the flood waters would
follow this course, thereby saving
hundreds of acres of valuable
farming land from destruction, and
a heavy expense annually incurred
by the county in keeping up the
road.
The different towns in the valley
should also take steps for their
protection. The recent 1oods
show clearly where dykes and
channels should be constructed In
order to control this water, which
otherwise rushes pell nell towards
the river, destroying bridges and
roads, fields and houses and all
crops lying in its path. Now is
the time for action, for it is plain
that something must be done.
