the same land would furnish farms
for four times as many people. The
only argument necessary, ii would
seem to the writer, to prove that the
ditch is good thing is fact that as
soon as the land was under ditch, the
value Of each farm would be doubled.
The work at the head Of the ditch
is progressing and it was expected to
get the big sand pumps started today
This will push the word much faster.
The canal from the head for some
distance this way has been put in
shape and gate will be put in, from
which ditch will be made leading
back to the river. The water al
ready is working out into the canal
from the sump, and in a short time it
will have to be let out through tie
gate and back into the river SO that
It will not interfere with the work on
the canal.

I'M N ENSE LAKE
Being Planned for Eureka
Canal in East Part of
Country.
Engineers Working On Matter
Will Cover Four Sections of
Land and Hold Thirty Feet
of Water.

The Eureka Canal people are fgur-
ing on an immense lake for Ford
county for storing food waters to be
used during crop season. Their sur
veyors have been working on the lake
proposition, and will be able to make
Q report ON it soon. The'proposed To-
cation Of the lake is near the Jack
incl place in tue east part of the
county, where there are four sections
Of land in body which it is believed
will make a perfect reservoir.
The idea is to make q lake here
two miles square which will hold q
body Of water 80 feet deep, which can
be filed from the Eureka ditch out Of
crop season, and ut times when there
are food waters in the Arkansas riv
or to draw from. This body OF water
could be held there and used when
the crops were growing so that the
moisture could be had just ct the
time il would do the most good.
Such reservoir would water q
large tract Of land and extend the
usefulness Of the Eureka canal. The
water could be ditched over large
body Of land in q splended farming
community. A great many have a
prejudice against any talk Of irriga-
ton, merely because the land rais' 9

at least twice as much in many sea

city.
The city shall have the right to
purchase the light plant at the expira-
tion Of the franchise at Q price to be
named by three engineers, and in the
event the city does Lot purchase the
plansat the appraised value, then the
franchise shall be renewed for ten
years, provide, however, at the end Of
any five year period, either party to
this contract may ask for resdjust-
men Of rates, which rates shall be
made by three engineers. In event
the city purchases the plant, the
engineers shall not take into consid-
GRAFTON any indebtedness against the
plant. II the city decides to purchase
at the end Of ten years, then what
ever indebtedness 10 outstanding
against the electric light plant shall
be paid by the electrice light com
pany or the franchise to be considered
at an end.
This proposition is made subject to
the people voting bonds to purchase
the water works.
This is our final proposition and
the same is open-ior your acceptance
or rejection until August II, 1900.
The opinion seems to prevail that
Mr.. Theis will accept this proposition
although this in merely supposition.
At any rate, as said before there is
more likleyhood Of the deal going
through than at any time before
Whstever becomes Of this deal, how
ever, the bond election will be held
on August %. Whether or not any
Of the material is bought Of the
present company will not effect the
matter Of municipal ownership.
That part Of it will be settled at the
election.
