WATER ON THE MESA.
Will Add IL, 900 Acres to
the Project

An important change in the plans to
conduct water to The Yuma valley lands
has been announced by Chief Engineer
Sellew of the Yuma Project.
According to the first plans this wat
er was to have been brought by canal
from the Arizona end of the dam TO a
point on the ella, some eight or ten
miles cast of Yuma. and crossing under
the ella by mean of fonr inverted ST.
phons, eoch half mile long, continued
in its course by canal to the east side
Of the PeuiLentiary Hill, thence under
The mesa west of town to the valley
below.
By innugurnting change in its plans
the Reclamation service is able to in
clude an additional $1,000 acres in the
scope of the Laguna dam and to reduce
the cost of the project by shortening
the main canal a distance of seven miles.
The land on the mesa gets the extra
acreages and by changing the main
canal from the Arizona to the Cali
fornia side side of the Colorado, suifi-
cient power is generated To operate the
extra pumps ne eded. The main canal
will be nearly as the crow flies from
Potholes to Yuma, where it crosses
the river directly below the S. P.
bridge at right angle by means OF an
inverted siphon.
This does not adversely affect the
ella valley, which will he irrigated by
a smaller canal of sufficient magnitude
to carry water for 1900 acres in that
district,
Many good results will be derived
from the new plan. One OF them Is
that the cost of the entire project is
thus shared by a larger number of land
owners. Another is that the mesa
land now included is fine citrus grow
ing soil and will be thickly studded by
orange. lemon and pomelo orchards of
five to twenty acres each. Their fruit
is marketable in the east and not
quickly perishable and they themselves
widen the local market for much per-
ishable stuff grown in the lower valley.
Work ON the levee below Yuma on
the Arizona side is making fine prog
ress and unless there are more than %
feet of water in the Colorado before
April l. the levee certainly will be
completed to the Mexican line before
the June rise. During the present
month the force at work on this line
threw POI 900 feet of dirt.
