ers several thousand acres of as fer
tile land as there is in the Montezu-

of no value because of its being

most skeptical, as something that

nate enough to secure lands under
this system, TO sow fall grain, as
they only have about eight miles of
ditch TO build. nearly all of this be-
ing in the open country, and can be
rapidly constructed, the remaining
portion of the time will be spent on
the reservoirs, which on completion
will nave storage capacity of $50 ,000,-
