Putting Price on Canal.
The stockholders of the Farmers
Progress Canal company have decided
TO put a price OF $3.50, 600 on the prop
erty when it is offered for sale TO the
new irrigation district, which will COW
er the Farmers Progress system. The
price is considered an equitable one, as
the property is very valuable, and they
state, should they sell to capitalists,
nothing less than half a million Of dol,
lars would touch the system. At the
present time, according to Mr. Kiefer
and the watermaster, Hyrum Frew, the
company is using 10000 inches of wa
ter. The system has been gradually
worked up TO its present perfection,
and is now one of the best of systems
with water for 10000 acres
