There is sufficient land to make a

no question about it being good pro.

1T is only seven miles from the

The reservoir site, located on the

practical location for reservoir. The
survey for the reservoir. and the plans
and specifications for the construction
of the dam for the same, have been
approved by the state engineer, and

vision of the state engineer The
main canal and distributing laterals
being so short. and going through a
country of such favorable topography
we wish to call attention TO the fact
that the maintenance and operation
will be very small to the farmers un-

When the system is properly com.
pleted. and the contemplated lands are
properly watered, it will make homes
