Work on the canal is progressing AS
RAPIDLY M the company estimated IL
would when they began work In earnest
about six weeks ago. The big ill at
camp -, on the high line, is nearing
completion. There are about fifty men
and fifty teams employed there. and
they estimated. Saturday last, that it
would be completed about the 18th.
Two graders are employed on the ill.
and they are moving dirt very fast.
Saturday last there MAS about 100
yards Of the deep fill To be completed.
The banks Of the fiil. in the highest
place. are about twenty feet. The bot

severity feet wide, III about ten feet

big part OF il is only about quarter Of

mates that with the full force u, camp

Mr.. Livingstone has about three
miles to build. joining BarteL He Is
making coed progress. and there is no
doubt but that he will be able to finish
all except about n quarter Of mile at
the lower end. This little piece is
rocky. and ut present it appears proba-
bic that he will require help in finishing
this.
E. w. Brown is working at the end
Of Livingstons contract Mr.. Brown
has no specified amount to do. lie has
about two hundred yards of work that
requires the removal of good deal Of
dirt. About half of this was nearing
completion last Saturday. From there
on toward American Falls, as far as
one can see. there appears to be no diff
fcuIt work to do. From the progress
that has been made during the past ak
weeks II is the judgement Of the Press
that the high line canal will be compIet-
ed 1t least by the 18th Of May. so that
water will be ready for all the land
between Aberdeen and American Falls,
and all the land lying between the high
and low line canals. The Press is as
sured that Mr.. Jones will be able to
complete his contract. In that event
the construction of laterals ID all that
will remain, and with the help Of set
tiers. and probably without their help
this can easily be done.
The Press would advise al Carey en-
tymen who can, to get on their land
~ soon ~ possible and get 1t ready for
crops next year.
