The Miller creek ditch broke twice
last week. The breaks are now being
fluned, as that is the only safe way
of carrying the water over some parts

The loss to the ranchmen under
the ditch has been heavy this season,
but it is hoped that it will be gotten
in shape this fall to insure crop
next year.
