The Sun is Of the opinion that
the government will buy The Wash
ington Irrigation Company's canal
for the terms of the company
proposition do not bear out the con
illusions which some newspapers
have sought to convey. They
have undertaken to create the inn
preston that the canal will cost
the government in cold cash in the
neighborhood of 5000, 600, but they
have failed to note that the govern
ment has a possible income Of over
$500, eco from the sale Of water
rights to the 90, 900 or more acres
Of land, without water rights, now
under The Sunnyslde canal. This
fact together with the ease with
which $4,000 Or 100. 900 acres more
can be covered by the Sunnyside
canal extension makes it the most
feasible project before the govern
nent i'll this state.-Sunnyside Sun
TO the ordinary observer it looks
very much as if the purchase Of
the Sunnyside canal by the govern
ment should be one Of the prelin-
iraries to taking up all compre-
hensive project in this valley. The
Offer made by the company may or
may rot be satisfactory, but it is
presunablc that the government
engineers are as capable as any
body 20 estimate the value of the
property and it is fair to suppose
that the company will sell for what
its holdings are worth, as the canal
will be Of limited value to the own
ers when it cannot be further ex-
tended by them and the storage
waters Of the river have been put
to use. Republic.
