feet would be required to furnish flow
of $500 secondfeet up to October Is.
The land which lies between the Ken
newick canal and the proposed canal is
of very good quality and can be cult
waited Immediately when water can be
applied to it. That controlled by the
first twelve miles of the canal is more
or less scabby and irregular in its ma
ture, and has been termed second class;
of this there are 1900 acres. Between
the twelve and eighteen mile marks,
where the water of the canal is divided
and part is carried to the east bank of
the Yakima, near Kiona, about 700 acres
of first class land is covered by the ca
nal; 24,5O0 acres of land lying between
the Kcnnewick canal and the proposed
canal are all first class.
That portion of the total flow of the
canal which remains upon the west bank
of the Yakima river at the end of the
eighteenth mile passes along parallel 70
the river and about three fourths mile
therefrom, and until the twenty fourth
mile is reached. covers about 800 acres
additional of first class land, all of which
lies above the Kiona canal At the end
of the twenty fourth mile the proposed
canal begins to control arid land of the
very best quality in large quantities.
By a system of distributing canals
and laterals 10000 acres, nearly all of
first-class land, lying west of Columbia
river, between it and Rattlesnake range,
is covered. All of this land is above any
existing canal, but all lies under the
proposed extension of the Sunnyside ca
nal Besides this there is 10000 acres of
second and third class land lying in Co.
lumbia valley.
OF the first-class land which will come
under the proposed canal there is total
of 10000 acres, of which 1000 acres are
private, $4,000 acres state, $4,000 acres
Northern Pacific railroad, 1000 acres
Northern Pacific Irrigation company and
% 900 acres government lands which
have been filed upon but for which no
final certificate has been issued.
OF the 10000 acres of second and third
class land 1000 acres are of government
land, filed upon but not acquired; 5000
acres railroad land and 1000 acres va
cant government land, total of l2,-

The above figures represent the flow
of the river at the head of Prosser falls
that could be delivered into the intake
of the Ledbetter canal, not including the
amount delivered to the Prosser Falls
Irrigation company's fume.
From the above figures it will be seen
that it would only be necessary to use
stored water for approximately two and
half months, or from tine last Of
July until the middle of October.
The reservoirs available for the stor-
age of water are:

Prosser Falls Irrigation company dur.
ing the season Of 1904, for the purpose
of diverting the low flow Of the river in
to their fiume.
From a structural standpoint the Led
better canal is undoubtedly feasible, and
for nearly its entire length could be
easily and cheaply constructed. For the
most part it would be through soil, the
excavating of which would be inexpens-
i've. The crossing of Yakima river by
inverted siphon by part of the total
flow of the canal would be the chief en-
cheering difficulty, but as the amount
of water required to irrigate the 24,5OO
acres of land lying under the canal upon
the east side of the Yakima wouldnot
exceed 300 second-feet, the pipes re.
quired for crossing would be small and
the head light, and the cost of construc-
ton would not be excessive. The aver
age cost per mile would undoubtedly
be small, while the area of land to be
covered is large and very fertile.
The project seems entirely feasible,
both geographically and photographic
ally. Surveys are still in progress to-
determine more closely the quantity and
quality of the land under this canal, and
all figures given above pertaining to
these subjects must be considered an.
proximate.

about $1,000 additional acres Of reserva-
ton land of the very best quality, which
lie above any canal now constructed,

ever, that this land in the reservation
will be found possible to irrigate less ex
pensively fromA other sources.
the amount of water required to ir-
rigate the $4,000 acres under the canal

probably not exceed 400 second-feet af-

the YAKIMA VALLEY A
MODEL IRRIGATED DISTRICT
Exhaustive Discussion of the Subject by
George H. Bliss, from Forthcom-
ing Government Report.
Third Paper.
Continued from last week


From these figures it can be seen that
this scheme as Il whole. like the high-
line canal is impracticable Although
there il without doubt water enough
available, with storage, to irrigate the
small areas of land remaining in the
Matches, Selan and Mckee valleys, as
well as portion of that in Rattlesnakn
valley above the Sunnyside canal yet
owing to the long stretch of canal con-
struction for the amount of land irr.
gated, as well as the expense Of con-
structing certain part of it, it will prob
ably be found more advantageous as
well as economical to utilize the avail
able water supply for either the Tietan-
Cowichc or the Ledbcttcr canals
The amount and character of the land
under the Matches and Columbia valley
canal is as follows:
The amount of land in Matches valley
is extremely small in amount, not ex-
ceeding 500 acres, mostly of tirst-class
land. In Selah valley, west of Yakima
river. lying between the low ridge north
of Matches river and Wenas creek, there
are about $500 acres of irst-class land
that could be irrigated from sucn a
source. Upon the east side of Yakima
river, by constructing lateral around
Yakima ridge to Selah creek. about 5000
acres of first class land and 900 acres
of second-class land would be gained in
Selah valley. making a total of l2500O
acres of first class and 1000 acres of
second class land coming under this ca
nal.
In Mckee valley the amount of land
above the Selah Mckee canal that could
be watered from this canal would be
about $4,000 acres of the very best land.
After crossing the Mckee pass to the
south side of Rattlesnakc range, the
canal would parallel the hight line canal
and the Sunnyside canal of the Wash
ington Irrigation company, lying about
midway between the two at an aver
age of four miles from the latter. The
arid land thus controlled beyond the
eastern extremity of Rattlesnake range,
near Kiora, is all first class and of the
best quality, lying well for irrigation.
In amount it is approximately 10000
acres, about 10000 acres of which lie
under the proposed extension of the Sun
nyside canal.
North and east of Rattlesnake range
between this range and the Columbia
river, the land gained would be mostly
first class. 243,OOO acres, and second
class. 10000 acres. OF this 100000 acres
comes under the proposed extension of
the Sunnysidc and Kiona canals.

The impression prevails to
some extent that cotton stored

the com panies, the latter hold
ing themselves in readiness 10
paw for same at the mark ct price
whenever the owners decide to
sell. Col. Springs, president Of
the Lancaster mills, authorizes
us to state that there is no foun.
dation whatever for such impress.
sion so far as the mills in which
he is interested are concerned.
Cotton stored in his warehouses
is held in.trust for the owners,
who can get same whenever
they want it, In the first place.
said Col Springs, he would con.
slder himself crimlnally liable
we're he to use stored cotton. -
And. in the second place, it
would be poor business policy
for mill to make sales of its
products for future delivery
without knowing what it would
have to pay for the raw material.
That would be speculation Of the
rankest sort, and no mill could
afford to engage IN it. Those,
therefore. who store cotton in
the Lancaster mills may rest as.
sured thatit is being safely kept
for them, and that they can get
their staple whenever they call
