WORK ON HIGH LINE
HAS BEEN SUSPENDED

Although Project Engineer Il. Il.
Sands and Secretary Aupperle, of the
Water Users association, emphatical-
Iy denied that the forces at work
building the camp houses ETC., for
the High Line canal construction
crews and engineers, had been laid
off for any other reasons than that
all the lumber had not been delivered,
ii is apparent that they were laid or
owing to the fact that Secretary BAL
linger of the interior department,
had ordered work temporarily sus-
pended on the High Line canal.
Secretary BalIinger wants to line
up the work for 1909 and see just
what he has funds available for, and
what projects can be proceeded with
this year. 1t is believed that the work
on the High Line will be ordered to
