serious obstacle to the maintenance oil
the canal. but two large openings
closed by steel gates, are provided on
the river side of the canal wall, which
will permit slucing of the canal to re-
move the sand and river sediment that
may collect from time to time. There
are only $50 acres of sand dunes be-
tween the railroad and the river, and
and the engineers belive it possible, by
constant lrrigation-using the waters oi
the canal-to convert this barren tract
into field of growing grasses, bushes
and trees, which will break the force OF
the wind, and prevent further drifting
of the sand.
While the stated cost of the contin.
uous canal is greater than the cost OF
the Harts' project as estimated in 1900,
the baard states it is really less than
the execution of the Harts' plan would
now cost. The board states that it's
plan is not only less costly than the
project of 1900, but it is the least eX-
pensive and safest way of satisfactorily
improving the Columbia River between
the biz eddy and Cello Falls. The
board, however, adopts that part of the
Harts' project which provides for the
improvement of the Three Mile Rapids,
by the removal of distractions in the
channels. For tins portion of the work,
1852, ,44S is set aside.
The boards estimate of $4,000, 900 is
based on the assumption that sufficient
funds Will be provided for at the be-
ginning of the work, in order that the
economy resulting from the use of an
adequate plant may be realized. While
the estimate provides 100000 for dam
ages and for the purchase of right-of-
way, it is the opinijn of the board tina
no work should be begun un il such
right-uf-w and release from all dam
ages have bee secured bv = United

Government VIII Have to Secure
Nearly All of IL.

Major Langfitt said last night that prac.
tically all OF the right of way will have
to be secured, inasmuch as the Govern.
ment owns little or none of the land
through which the canal will be built.
At number of places the canal will en-
croach on O. r. & N. property, but not
enough to require moving the com pany's
tracks.
81 don't think we shall have any diff
Guilty in getting right Of way" said Ma
ior Langftt. "The o. r. & N. doubtless
will make way for the canal, for the Gov.
ernment has power to acquire by con-
demnation."
Many of the plans and estimates out
lined in the foregoing dispatch as having
been adopted by the board were proposed
by the local engineers. The estimate OF
cost WAS made by Maj Lang fit and is

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionist sthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

GOVERNMENT CANAL.

All the data required by the Gov
be used in the furtherence of the
Grand River Canal project has been
furnished hy the Grand Junction
Champber of Commerce. and sent to
Headquarters Arid Land Reclamation
Service, Room 535 Majestic Building,
Denver, Colo.
1t is we'll in this connection to give
credit where credit is due. 1t is we'll
known to those who have given atten-
tion to the matter, that the Matthes
Survey contemplated watering the arid
lands beyond the Excelsior divide on
the Green River slope in Utah, there
fore line ditch was surveyed through
broken rugged country necessitating
expensive tunnels, fumes, etc.
1t had been found impracticable to
cross Excelsior divide, and the cost of
construction of ditch on surveyed line
was too great to Justify it's construc-
tion to water the 70. 900 acres of land
lying under the ditch and east of the
divide. While the Matthes' survey
was in progress, little interest was
manifested by our citizens. One of
the first matters taken up by the
Chamber of Commerce was the Grand
River Irrigation project. For months
the matter has been pushed, the aid
of the railroad companies and four
representatives in congress has been
enlisted Mr.. A. T. Newell chief of
the geological survey appealed to.
The work of the Chamber eliminated
in the visit to Grand Junction of the
Hon. A. L. Davis chief engineer Arid
Land Reclamation Service, Washing
ton, d. @. Hon. Geo. l. Wisner of
ders, Los Angeles, California, consult
ing engineers, after comforting with
the Chamber the engineers with Mr..
Geo. Smith went over the line pro-
posed, to water the lands east of Ex-
celsior divide The cost of construc-
tion of this lower line is so much less
that the project is believed to be en-
inently feasible and practicable.
1t is undou btedly true that through
the efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce. information of the most valua-
BILE and essential character has been
furnished and that without such effort
the report based upon the Matthes'
survey would have been unfavorable.
We long have felt the need of just
such an organization as the Grand
Junction Chamber of Commerce is
proving itself to be. We are justly
proud of it's work. and believe it de-
serving as it is receiving the support
of the community.
