WILL EXTEND CANAL

Beal Bros, contractors, are about to construct a canal for Water Com pany No. 8, which will water a DOT ton of that district not hitherto in cluded in the canal system-the land directly west of Brawley, more than three miles out, says the Brawley News. A number of land owners in that locality have been desirous of obtaining water for some months, but No. s has been unwilling to make the attempt to deliver it, owing to the fact that the canal will pass through an un- settled district and will be subject to filling up. A canal running diagonally northwest will solve the problem and provide sufficient grade to keep it. self clean, and this will be imme- diately constructed.
