foundation for the report that Bishop Con-
atty, rector Of the Catholic University of

versity."
Bishop Conaty is at his former home in
Worcester, Mass, and is to be in New York

pected back in Washington for at least two

WeiSer Irrigation District.

The plans for the increase and
taking over Of the Galloway ditch by
the Weiser Irrigation District
pany are in the hands of the state
engineer and it is up to him to either
reject or accept them. If accepted an
election will Immediately be called to
vote $50, 600 bonds to purchase It, If
the election is in favor of bonding
work on the extension and to increase
the size of the ditch will be COM
menced Immediately. The plans as
submitted to the state engineer will
double the capacity of the ditch.
The ditch would then be about 20
miles long and would cover 8l72 acres
of land. About 1000 acres are COW
cred by the ditch at the present time.
The enlarbing and extending of the
ditch would give employment to
many men and teams for two or three
months, besides making largely in
creased acreage that would be bene-
fitted by receiving water for irriga-
ton purposes.
Since the above was written,
State Engineer Ross has approved
the plan as submitted by the board
of directors for the acquisition OF
land and increased capacity, ano
: purchase of the Galloway ditch. Al
, election will be held as soon as pos
sible under the law to issue bond
amounting to 5000 to purchas
, the ditch. The work of enlargin!
the ditch will begin as soon as pos
sible after the purchase and ap
b proval by the courts.
