An article by John L. Burton in
the Yakima Herald gives a good de-
scription of the Tleton project, of
which so little is generally known
that extracts from the article are
here copied:
Tho Tieton creek, or river, is
tributary of Matches river, which is
in turn a tributary of the Yakima.
The hand may be used to illustrate
the Yakima system, the thumb being
the Yakima, then come the Naches,
Tleton, Cowitchie and Ahtanum,
fingers.
The Tieton canal, which is to
water some tens of thousands of at
present arid acres of laand, has its
commencement or "intoke" some Is
miles west of the junction of the
Matches and Tieton rivers, at an ap-
proximate elevation of $500 feet.
From the intake to the mouth of the
river the fall is about so feet in the
mile. so that carrying the water to
higher level than it reaches by its
natural channel is an easy task. But
the material through which the canal
mas to be cut is not easily overcome.
The sides of the canyon, precipitous
walls of basalt are everywhere in
evidence, and that this rock is not
solid but has been shattered by
earthquake or volcano, makes the
task no easier.
When a canal or ditch has been cut
along the side of the canyon some
12 miles from the intake east, the
bed of the ditch is some 400 or 500
feet above the stream. There the en-
gineers are to drive a tunnel
through the mountain, leaving the
Natches-Tieton valley and carrying
the water into the Cowitchie, where
there is lots of land and but little
water The canal is a comparatively
email affair, something like five feet
| on the bottom, and about 10 at the
| top, with an average depth of As
! feet, but It is to be still smaller, for
inside this ditch is to be laid a con-
crete tube from intake to exit of tun-
nel- in Cowitchie. A segment of the
tube is cut off, leaving the upper
part open so that it will be almost
horse shoe shape. This is a small
| channel to carry so much water one
! might think, but it is the tremendous
velocity of the stream which will
make up for lack of volume in the
ditch itself.
From 400 to 500 men are now at
work under competent engineers and
foremen, and already quite a bit OF
the work is ready for the cancrete
