Three per cent additional on unpaid
balance on stock to be paid when
the case is tried in the court OF first

Five per cent additional on unpaid
balance On stock subscriptions upon
trial of the case in the highest court

the latter cost t'eing all, should the
suit he dismissed without trial.
All persons desirous of joining the
above plan will please forward two
per cent OF their unpaid balance to

point on Indian creek above Kuna.
This creek then carries the water for /
eight miles, when another canal IL |
miles long carries it to the Deer
Flat reservoir. Occasionally along
this route smaller ditch diverts
water to supplement the supply from
other sources, but the principal
function of this canal is to feed the
Deer Flat resel voir. This reservoir
was formed by building two long
earlhen dams in depressions between
surrounding hills. The lower en-
bankment, known as the Hubbard

and 6s feet high. 1t Is $50 feet
wide on the bottom, and driveway
20 feet wide extends along the top.
The upper embankment is only 43
feet high and 200 feet wide on the
bottom, but it has a length of near
ly mile and half, and the volume
of each embankment is approxi-
mately 1000, 600 cubic yards. The
process of construction was a mar
