WATER TURNED IN CANAL
VIII be Down to End Of Complete1
System by May 10th

The news that the water has been
turned into the canal and that it will be
down to the end of the completed part
of the system by the 20th, viii be very
welcome TO the settlers of the Carey
tract, for while there has been no ur-
gent need for water up to this time.
some of the farmers at the lower end
were becoming uneasy fearing that the
water would not reach them in time to
prevent their crops sustaining some
damage. The Canal company has put
forth every effort and unless some un-
forseen contingency arises all danger of
crop failure from lack of water is en-
tirdly removed, so far as the company
is concerned at least. 1t is thought,
however, that many of the farmers in
that section viii not be prepared to re-
eeive the water when it gets to them.
and some of them will have hard time
to get in shape to put the water on
their crops.
Engineer Church, speaking of the
construction work while in town Wednes-
day, said he felt confident that sixty days
more would see the main canal finished
to the end of the project. There re-
mains only about six miles to be finished.
One big gang of men and teams has
been on this last stretch since the mid
die of the week, the camp being estab-
hshed near the road that leads to the
dry farms, and by Monday two more
gangs that are now finishing up their
work higher up the line, will be work
ing on the lower end.
1t will require five days for water to
flow the length of the canal, and this,
in Mr.. Church's opinion. is going to
prove beneficial to the farmers on the
larger portion of the tract. as the
water has chance to warm consider
ably after it leaves the river. The river
water, he thinks. is too cold for irriga-
ton The nights are cool and putting
cold water on the land in the day time
keep it in state of almost constant
chill. and the results are not as salts
factory as where warmer water is used
