The test of the new c. F. and l.
ditch between Adobe and Pueblo,
which has been in progress for the
past two weeks, has proven very sat
isfactory and from present indications
the full flow of water will be admitted
In about two weeks. The test is being
made principally for the purposes of
discovering defects in the soil where
the water is lost through seepage.
Gopher holes have been found to be
one of the chief sources of difficulty
as the water entering the holes en-
larges them and causes the banks of
the ditch to spread. When defects are
discovered, the water is shut off until
the leak is repaired, which is done by
packing the soil tightly at that point.
