THE VALLEYS PROBLEM

Ihe noOds nave coihe aealn'
g Q work done by them this time
is similar to that of the floods Of
last winter, and the lesson for the
people of the valley to learn nov
is the same as that taught by the
foods Of last winter.
When the high waters of the
Gila came last winter and brought
ruin and destruction to many .
good home and many a fine ranch
the great water suit was pending
1t was regarded as the great
panacea for all water troubles Of
this valley; and SO far as personal
differences and rights were con-
eerned it was largely q settlement
of them. But no law could or
can control the elements. They
are the processes of court higher
than the one in which the water
suit was pending, and far beyond
its reach and control.
Judge Doan with great labor,
patience and, as we believe fair
ness and learning, in rendering his
decision, took occasion to make
some suggestions that were GER
tainly wise, and, if followed as
they will be in tune, will result in
great and lasting good to this en-
tire valley.
One of his suggestions was that
there should be not more than
three or four supply canals tapping
the river, and that they should be
Of sufficient capacity TO carry the
waters now carried by all the pres
ent canals He suggested that
there should be one great canal
taken out ut the narrows above
Solomonville, and that it should
De made to carry the amount Of
water now diverted by the Monte
yuma, Union, Sunflower, San Jose
and other canals above or between
them, and the waters thus diverted
be conveyed and distributed to
the users through latterals from il.
Another be suggested should be
constructed upon the north side of
the river TO carry the waters now
used by the Graham, Oregon, and
Curtis people and others upon
that side Of to- Gila; and that one
or two others should be built at
proper points, the object being to
save the trouble and expense of
keeping up the great number of
canals that now tap the river.
The wisdom of his suggestion
has been well demonstrated by the
great destruction the present canals
have suffered from the past and
present floods. Last spring many
of the canals were so badly in
jured that the people suffered great
trouble and expense in rebuilding
and repairing them, and now the
present floods have brought about
a repetition Of the injury and de-
struction of the canals; and it is
plain that less expensive and less
injurious conditions should be
brought about. And there is
probably no better way to do this
than TO adopt the plans suggested
by Judge Doan.
Under his suggestions the main
canals would be few in number.
The points of diversion can be
made secure, and the dams and
canals can be so constructed as to
withstand the floods, or if they
should give way the damage would
be really less than the aggregated
injuries that result to the many
small canals under present con-
ditions.
At any rate the matter is one
for the serious consideration of
the water users OF the valley.
Present conditions are bad, and
the changes suggested above mustI
be resorted to or others tnat are
better, if they can be devised.
